Description
For my future cosplay (I hope to get it finished by the end of this September), I wanted to do this version of Penelo (from FF12: Revenant Wings, on Nintendo DS). Then, a couple of days ago, I beat Final Fantasy 12 (But even so, I do love this outfit of hers. I
As for the cactoid, it's from the "Flowering Cactoid" Hunt in the game (FF12). It's too cute to be true. I
Now, for some reason the scanner didn't scan the shadowing in this painting correctly. The actual painting has a deep shadow by both Penelo & Flowering Cactoid, but oh well, what can I do? Scanners do what they will do. ^^ I really love how this came out & I hope you do too.
Lineart is coloured India Inks & colours are my Japanese Koi Watercolours.

Aww!! Cute! I love her. ^_^ I like this costume better than the one she had in the first game. Even though that one was cute too.

Thanks! Actually, she does have a similar outfit in the first game (she wears it in the ending movie) but it's 3x more detailed.

Thank you for the comment, the on this, and also a
on my gallery. I'm very happy you like my artwork. Thank you.
Yeah, Penelo's RW outfit is nice but you should see the one she wears in the end of FFXII! It's pretty much the same thing but 3x more detailed.

I saw you in this costume on your cosplay site. You did a wonderful job on both. My hat is off to you and your remarkable talent.

Thanks, but the costume I did is not based off this particular artwork. If you look at my most recent artwork (Vaan & Penelo), that's the version I did. They both look similar (and are the same character) but the outfit Penelo wears in the ending of FFXII is 3x more detailed.

omg flowering cactoid! The cactoids are waaay too cute. I feel bad killing them.
I love how you did her neck area; it looks very real You also captured her cuteness
It's kind of weird seeing penelo in such a fancy outfit because her normal outfit is so different! But i haven't finished FF12 yet so I don't know why's she's wearing it XD

AyaneShinobi In reply to faroresama [2007-10-26 22:38:41 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! Yes, those cactoids are too darn adorable. Every time I see them walking around in the desert, I'm like, "Awwwwwwwwwwww, sooooo cuuuuuute. I want one!" *Laughs* And I just cannot kill them either. You know how you have to kill a certain number of monsters to get all the information (in the Bestiary)? Well, I have to kill 2 more but I just...can not.
Ooooh, speaking of Penelo...I finished the costume two weeks ago. It's at my cosplay.com gallery.
Oh yeah, this version isn't the one she wears in the end of FF12. The costume I did is the ending version (which is a lot more fancier).
Thanks for your comments.

Wasashu~! I haven't seen you around in a while! (Then again, I've been gone for a long time too!) I'm gonna go check out your page asap, after I'm done with this comment! :3
Thanks! I'm glad you like my painting. I'm making this cosplay just for a private photoshoot, since the only con I go to is Anime Expo (which is every July). So yes, also in a way, I am making it for fun too.
OMG, I FF12 so much. I'm obsessed! lol. Oh, it is hard to level up in that game! I was only at 64 at the end of the game. I didn't get all the Espers either. There are 13 in the game & I only got 8! I need to buy the walkthrough so I can complete all sidequests, hunts, & espers!

Hehe, I just got your txt. I haven't checked DA in so long but like I said in my reply, I'm actually thinking of getting a new account just to start fresh. Anyway, this picture is sooo cute! I love Penelo's RW outfit. She's so adorable. And I love the cactus!

Hee hee, I the cactus too. The Flowering Cactoid is too cute to be true. I want to make one! :3 Omg, you should see this outfit at the end of FF12! It's so detailed! This RW version is already detailed as it is, but in the actually FF12, it's crazy!

Ooh. Yeah, all those FF12 outfits have such insane detail levels to them. I have to get back to playing FFXII; I got sidetracked by a bunch of stuff and now I'm replaying Wind Waker on a whim, but since that's a relatively short game I'll be okay. Got to save up money for that Balthier cosplay... it's going to be challenging.

AyaneShinobi In reply to lizabee [2007-08-21 00:12:43 +0000 UTC]
Insane indeed! I just stare at the detail & my eyes hurt. I can't wait though. Ooooh, I also can't wait until you do the Balthier cosplay! It's gonna be fun cosplaying FF12 together! I just hope my sister saves up enough money so I can make Ashe for her. But I think she will save up enough...she really wants to cosplay now, which is awesome.

I am looking forward to FFXII cosplay too. Balthier is going to kill me but I can't wait to wear it XD Also to see if I can pull it off... I cosplay guys all the time, but his hair is very short, and I'm not chopping mine, so it'll be interesting to get it all under a wig. I hope your sister does Ashe, too! ^^ That would be great.
The only cosplay I've worked on since AX is VesVes, though not much. I need to get her out of the way. I wish I could have the rest of the Amazoness Quartet, but I guess it's asking a bit much for people to dress like that... they don't wear much. XD I just like them a lot.

AyaneShinobi In reply to lizabee [2007-09-04 17:22:26 +0000 UTC]
I wouldn't mind doing one of the Amazoness girls except I know that Fran & Ashe is going to take all of my free time. Plus, I'm going to get really tan just for Fran. ^_^ I bought the walkthrough for FF12 about two weekends ago & it has the most excellent (and very beautiful) reference pics for the costumes. I was staring at Fran & Ashe going, "Oooooh no, what the heck did Lionel get me into?" But nah, I still look foward to it. I know they are going to be extremely hard but I know in the end it will be worth it. Plus I love the characters. And yeah, you don't want to be cutting your hair for Balthier!
I started working on Penelo's ending movie costume (basically a very detailed version of the Revenant Wings outfit). I thought it would be easy but when I recorded the ending movie & then paused all the scenes with Penelo, I noticed it was even 10x more detailed! I started working on the top & damn...that top was really something to figure out. I had to make up my own patterns for it. I love how video game characters wear impossible outfits that are painted on.

Yeah, those costumes are so detailed! 0_0 I was looking at Balthier thinking something like "ouch." I'm in for some pain. XD The easiest part should be his jewelry, which I can buy walking into any Claire's (seriousy, look at it XD haha). The vest, on the other hand, yikes. I'll make it though! I'll figure it out somehow. XD
Yeah, a lot of costumes require you to make your own patterns 'cause there's no other way around it! I'm remembering chaos's first outfit at the moment, that top of his is an odd number. Looking at Balthier's vest there's definitely going to be a lot of work like that too. XD

AyaneShinobi In reply to lizabee [2007-09-10 23:34:01 +0000 UTC]
Lol, yeah, Balthier's vest has a lot of design. How do you think you'll do that? Make a stencil of some sort & then paint it on? As for painting fabric, I use acrylics (the cheapie brands too!) and they work wonders. Though sometimes they can sort of make the fabric a little stiff.
Craft foam is really amazing. I've used that stuff for little odds & ends on costumes & for accessories, but yesterday I was making Penelo's arm accessories/armour (whatever it is that she wears in the ending movie) and her hair clips and it looks great. It's easy to work with & I just use a glue gun to get everything together (and it doesn't come apart) and I use this type of spray-paint where it looks metallic. (The same spray paint I used for the gold on my so-called attempt on making Kos-Mos' gold armour parts).
Ha ha, that's hilarious what you said about his jewelry. No kidding. And good thing those pastel/neon-coloured jewelry are pretty popular at the moment, so they should be easy to find. ^^

lizabee In reply to AyaneShinobi [2007-10-01 18:27:17 +0000 UTC]
For Balthier's vest I was going to buy some leather or leather-like substance that doesn't fray and VERY CAREFULLY sew it on top of the base black. It's going to be so hard I do like using acrylics on costumes, do it all the time, but it looks 3d on his so I think I'll sew it on. Of course, I will probably use paint to get the color on that part right.
I'm going to use craft foam for the gold bracelets and hair things on my VesVes costume. Now if only I could figure out how I'm going to do her wig!
