Artist's Comments

Alrighty, well this is my take on a FF9 Kuja custom pony.

Despite Kuja's questionable flamboyance, I found his design concept very striking/compelling; which was a MUST for my Final Fantasy custom collection I'm making.

He's re-haired with Arctic Frost mlp hair, his outfit is hand-sewn, and his shoulder boulders are sculpted as well as his pointy boots. :)

I went all-out on his eyes; staying true to the basic shape of them, then doing my own thing with the layering. I just love how neon, metallic, and neutral acrylics play off of each other; makes them a lot of fun to work with.

ok so I LOVE the eyes and shadow!
the hair works so well too! nice job with the clothes...my only comment would be that the shoulderpads look too much like silver blobs. they're too thick to see the details well - also highlighting details with another color paint would help

I whole-heartedly agree. :) I was rushing to finish him so I could get out the door (otherwise I would have had to have waited days before I'd be able to post him)...if I had more time I would have added a dark color in the creases; so I'll do that! Thanks for pointing that out. :heart:

Well, he is up for grabs. ;) If you'd ever like to own him, feel free to note me with a price range you're comfortable with. (I'll just say on average a custom like this would go for $50.00).

The eyes ... oh, my goodness! They're absolutely perfect; they hold just the right amount of intensity. The colours are so complimentary of eachother, too, and that really stands out; you did a truly wonderful job with them. :heart:
Hurr ... questionable flamboyance. Kuja has it. XD Honestly, the jacket you made for him is very awesome, though. Looks better than when he was in the game.
And the hair ... mmrrr. I love him! :heart:

Love the hair. It has so much anime flair! :)

Really the only crit I could give is for his shoulder boulders. I don't know if they are supposed to be metal or stone. If metal, you might consider using sheet metal next time. If stone, they look a little too metallic although I suppose that could be your lighting as well.

Otherwise, kudos on the beautiful costume. Sewing is hard, especially for something so small. I bow to your superior sewing pattern-making skills. *bows*

lol. XD He was a tad bit "too" feminine in the game...I wanted to capture his essence of beauty, yet keep it on a non-flamboyant level. XD
