Figured it would be fun to post all of the work in progress pics that go into my craft that I've been sending to a customer that's dropping a $400.00+ commission job on me of Final Fantasy and Frozen customs~
Taking lots and lots of pictures~ I just love the characters so much. I've done.... I think, this is my 7th version of the character Lightning Claire Ferron. I've done her in various outfits. This particular one, will be of her full armor design from ffxiii-2, and this is my 3rd time doing the armor. I've kept card stock patterns from the first time I made her.
Then Serah, this is my second time doing this particular outfit from ffxiii-2, and I think the 4th version of Serah I've done as I've also done her in her alternate outfits.
Then Serah's moogle companion~ I think this is my 3rd time making him. And Lumina is a new addition I was eager to accept to this project~ I haven't played Lightning Returns yet, but she feels like a evil reincarnation of Serah of sorts. It's kinda weird.
Anyhoodle, customer wanted Lumina's character custom to be smaller than Serah, I think it works well for a "sprite" aspect since in references it looks like Lumina flies or floats around...
We'll start this off, with the prepped bases I picked out to show the customer~
I pasted little thumbnail refs of the characters over them, teehee~
From left- Lumina, Serah, Lightning then Mog~
Then, got them all prepped and base coats of full body repaints started~
Then went through and painted their eyes all in one shot~
I believe I sat down and dedicated a solid day's worth of work to pump these out~
And then, composed a cutie mark concept for Lightning that the customer requested, had to sketch it and color it with watercolor pencils on paper. Got mog painted as well~
And then, Mog complete!
So with the Lightning Rose Cloud concept composed, I was able to transfer it to the ponies~ she wanted Lumina to have a black version of the rose cloud, and Serah to have a princess crown.
And now, I'm pumping out the hair jobs!
Whew, this is taking a bit, but its so worth the work~ I could never get enough of these gals. ^3^
