Greetings.
I am a writer on Fanfiction.Net, and one of the stories I'm writing is a full-fledged sequel to the Final Fantasy X/X-2 games. It's currently at 81 chapters (78 actual chapters, a prologue, and two 'Interval' chapters), and it has a current word count of 377,656 (the rough equivalent of a 550-600 page novel). And no, I'm not done yet. It's probably my most epic work, in terms of a single story.
Final Fantasy X-3: Dreams and Nightmares (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1696000/1/)
This story is extremely popular in the FFX-2 section of FF.Net, and it's already inspired fanart and even MUSIC.
This is the forum that serves as the story 'database'. (http://z11.invisionfree.com/ChaoticIllusion/index.php?act=SF&f=12&st=) This is where all discussion pertaining to the story and the progress of the fan-inspired video game (which, admittedly, has zero progress, but that's not the focus of this thread), so there are some spoilers here. If you wish to help, it would help if you read the story first (set some time aside to read it, as it's a pretty long story).
This page is where the first concept artist, PikaChan (now known as Great Baka Usagi) uploads her fanart. (http://pikachan.lardpirates.com/ffx3/) She hasn't done any FFX-3 art within the last year, unfortunately.
Another person, gyste4 (http://gyste4.deviantart.com/gallery/scraps/), did some pencil art of the characters.
Hirum (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18838378/?qo=3&q=by%3Agyste4+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime)
Teela (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19092182/?qo=2&q=by%3Agyste4+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (Headshot (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18352704/?qo=5&q=by%3Agyste4+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime))
Serena and Mog (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19092276/?qo=1&q=by%3Agyste4+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime)
Note that Usagi's picture of Hirum is slightly incorrect; the two hair strands coming down his front are WAY too thick. gyste4's is more correct in that regard.
Take note, however, that - unlike a lot of Final Fantasy games - the characters actually have wardrobe changes. Hirum, Serena, and Teela have already changed their wardrobes.
Assamite (http://assamite36.deviantart.com/gallery/scraps/) is the composer of this story (man, that sounds awesome. Fan music! You don't get that everyday). This page holds links to his music pieces.
Sin, Forward! (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15538479/?qo=16&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (His first piece, and it sounds outdated compared to his later works. He plans to redo this one.)
Mi'ihen Highroad 1000 A.S.D. (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15540071/?qo=15&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (A piece about the new Mi'ihen Highroad, 1000 years After the Second Dawn. What the Second Dawn means...is revealed within the first few chapters. Start reading!)
Mog's Theme (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15590828/?qo=14&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (Theme of Mog the moogle.)
Greater Battles Ahead (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15842614/?qo=13&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (Standard boss battle music.)
Claim Your Aeon (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16100044/?qo=11&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (Aeon Battle music.)
To The Victor Go The Spoils (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16211619/?qo=10&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (Victory Fanfare, remixed.)
Sin, Attack (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16425757/?qo=9&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (The music that plays during Sin's attack on Luca; this is the music that emerges from Sin during the attack. Why? Read and find out.)
Hirum's Theme (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18070296/?qo=8&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (Theme of the main character Hirum.)
The Dead Forest (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18497586/?qo=7&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (Theme of Macalania Forest...which is dead in the future. Why? Read and find out.)
The Great Guadulien Oak (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18688546/?qo=6&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (Theme of the city Guadosalam.)
Moogle Dance Pak (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18693703/?qo=5&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (Collection of tunes that play during Mog's Dance Moves. I personally like Forest Flamenco and Metal Mambo.)
Teela's Theme (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18791432/?qo=4&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (This is more of a theme used during moments of reminiscing or tragic moments. There'll probably be a second theme for this main character later on.)
The Morning Hymn (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/21008748/?qo=3&q=by%3Aassamite36+in%3Ascraps&qh=sort%3Atime) (This song plays every morning in Bevelle; this is essentially a more bombastic version of the Hymn of the Fayth.)
That's all of the music so far.
There's a lot of material in this story, but it's quite an involved fic, where things set up earlier are revealed later (like in a regular FF game). If you want to take up the task of doing fanart, it would be nice if you're a Final Fantasy fan; that way, I know that you'll want to do your best. But even if you're not a Final Fantasy fan, that's okay.
If you want to apply for the position of concept artist/illustrator, it's probable that we can have more than one. The more, the better in my opinion.
I look forward to any applicants.
