Chrono Cross Official Art (all read, please)

[ZeaLitY]

It is time for us to create our collection of Chrono Cross official art. This section is an advantage other sites have held over us for some time; it's time to trump them like we normally do: create our own section, and make it ten times better. If you want to skip the explanation, then go to the last statement of this thread.

The first thing we need to do is identify sources of Chrono Cross official art. If you can think of any others, let me know asap:

1. Missing Piece
2. Ultimania

Missing Piece

Missing Piece has many sketches that will be featured on a different section called Chrono Cross Concept Art. Other than that, Missing Piece is a bit of a problem because textboxes, color, and other sketches often obscure the character art.

Examples:

That Japanese text goes right over Kid. Plus, there's a stupid shadow we have to worry about.

Ultimania

Ultimania contains slightly smaller versions of the character art, but they're completely unobscured. It also features in-game shots of each character's polygonal model. This is our primary source. The only problem is that more fans own Missing Piece than Ultimania, and we're going to need someone to scan it all. I do own Ultimania, but my scanner is old and crappy. If the success of the project hinges on this, I will buy a new, flexible scanner. But I'd like to avoid that, and hopefully tap a fan who owns both a high-end scanner and Ultimania.

My question is thus, do any of you own Ultimania and a good, clean scanner?

And in case this looks like some 6 month project that will drag on forever, or some project you can stop by and say "hhah hey good luck dude", don't. I am dead serious. Speak up if you have the necessary components, and we'll finish this part of the encyclopedia.

Can I at least get advice? You will understand the importance of this thread all too soon, but by then we'll have lost a lot of time.

Here you go! Not all the characters here have full drawn images, but all the important ones, like Kid, have good quality versions of the original artwork. Hope that helps!

EDIT:

Oh yeah, I have a scanner here and can probably get Ultimania from the game shop in town maybe, I'll keep an eye out for it.

Oh, no worries. I am now prepared, with Photoshop, to scan them all myself. So we should get a collection better than RPGShrines. Guess I Should unsticky this.
