Description This one was an interesting experiment. It's always a challenge figuring out how to completely hand sew shirts and other miscellaneous clothing for character ponies....this time I hand sewed her boots/"arm" warmer using only one piece of fabric (I usually use two separate pieces and sew them together.)
And her body color...I felt that white was too "washed out" for her, and yellow would cause her to be too monochromatic (plus I've deemed the body color of yellow for my Yuna customs, lol)... and that pink is a more suitable color for a character like Yuna. So I was pretty much at a loss for body color...but at the last second, I was like "GRASS GREEEEEN!!!" And I think it's neutral enough for contrast.
So anyhoo, her outfit is pretty much completely sewn by hand, with bits and pieces of sculpting where needed.

"GRASS GREEEEEEN!"
This is amazing. You've totally captured Rikku's essence in this one; the clothes are just amazing. Totally love the mane/hair, too. <3

Thanks!
It's always fun talking to other FF fans. Most people I show my customs to irl, don't seem to appreciate them as much...I guess that a lot of people just don't know about FF. XD (They appreciate more "common" or "familiar" designs...)

You're welcome!
Oh, I know what you mean. Most people don't know or like the FF series very much, or just dismiss it as a total boy's series. Which is kinda annoying, but ... what can you do.

I was working on Sir Auron today, and my grandma walked by and said "Ooooh! Are you making a bird?"
