There was an art thread on the old official sega PSOBB website. Saw some great PSO art there. If I recall, people actually paid PD's to have artists draw their PSO characters for their forum signatures etc...
Can't say I'd be able to contribute much in terms of artwork but I'm all for it!
Looks like that Forbes article did some good! Welcome friend.
Nice to see that there are still people who are "new" to this game.
If you see me, say hello, I'll sort you out with some starter gear ;)
