Oh man I've been planning this one for awhile..

So. I really <3 ff5 (basically Anthologies in general).. Faris is my favorite character from the earlier games and it's actually pretty hard to pick another ff character that I like more than her (along with Fran from 12). I love Amano's drawings of her, and I made it my goal to eventually make an Amano style costume, especially if it were Faris or Shiva. Faris it is.

Lots and lots of work went into this, although you probably can't tell. I will most likely put the belt on my dressform and snap some shots of it so you guys can see the work that went into that alone (about 30 some hours of hand beading.. doesn't sound like a lot, but damn. It's over a solid days work, so it's a lot to me). I beaded the lapels of the collar, and all of the scarves around my waist (there are 7 I think). Painted some fun designs on the armor and coat, made those funky boots and everything else you see. Any specific questions, please message me!
