It looks awesome, but what are those things on her wrists? They look cool.

Elysian bangles. I'm not sure if they have a function canonically. They should be semitransparent but this render is a bit shoddy.

you forgot her "breast lines" that show she has them.

I forgot nothing. Had I added any more detail to her chest it would have been too much. If anything the problem lies in the mesh having breasts as large as they are.
Also I believe I exhausted my color palette for the texture and thus wouldn't have any intermediary lights or darks to use that wouldn't look jarring and grotesque.

Oh hey, hadn't seen you submit stuff in a while.
Any comments on why you chose to make her chest symbol see-through? I'm interested in that.

Ahhh... um... I modified Yuna's outfit slightly... so I figured I'd follow suit on Sera as well? That's about it really.

It's the first time I've seen someone adapt Sera's appearance to the Legends 1 style, and not the Legends 2 style. Compared to your Rock, Tron, Yuna and Roll, she looks like she'd fit in perfectly in with them. Her ever-neutral appearance is good to see again in my book; she was always my favorite of the two Mother Units.
I was going to ask, you wouldn't happen to be able to adapt a few of them to ragdolls for Garry's Mod, would you?

I'd love to see them in use, but I don't have Garry's Mod or any knowledge of how to rig them to the specifics of it... I don't have anything I'm aware of that can output a valve SMD at all really.
Compounded on the fact that the rigged files are in Maya format, which I'm not certain I can even use anymore... I'd have to re-riggify them all in blender just to animate them at all... (which I intend to do at some point, but that's not my point at the moment)
Because they're done in a (pseudo) PSX era model style, it can be tricky to make them look good in places that bend. I tried to take that into account when I made them, but I can't say how good they'd look as ragdolls.
That said, I have been considering releasing them once I get them fully rigged the way I like.
Sorry I'm so long winded, short answer: I don't know how.

It's all right. The more long-winded the answer, the better it proves its point.
And yeah, I understand where you're coming from. It sounds like hard work, and I'll bet it's something you wouldn't want to do in that case. I sympathize with ya.
Still, good luck on rigging them up and modeling more of the Legends crew. I whole-heartedly await to see who's next!
