Description This is the first Final Fantasy X fanart I've done, and out of the three of these, this one is probably my favorite.

After I had my FFVII and FFVIII pieces done, I hit a wall. I couldn't think of what the hell I wanted for my FFX piece. Yuna, Lulu, and Rikku in swimsuits was as far ahead as I thought. I thought of having one of them with a Blitzball, and that's what gave me the idea to have them batting it around.

For poses, I looked at a lot of pictures of volleyball players, since what they're playing here is really, really, really simplified volleyball.

While it was easy to think of what I wanted for Yuna and Lulu's swimsuits, Rikku's took some thinking. For starters, the color scheme on her in-game outfit is kinda ugly, I think. I made the orange a lot brighter for her swimsuit. And at some point it just hit me to have her advertise herself as an Al Bhed Psyches fan. And be sure to check out her eyes, I was able to give her the distinctive Al Bhed spiral eyes. I NEVER noticed that when I played the game, I just read about while I was looking up pictures of Rikku for this piece.

I'm glad you like it. I remember you going on about liking Lulu so much. I hope this strikes you as the type of bathing suit she'd wear. ^_^

Well, I just took the pattern from Yuna's skirt/kimono and simplified it. It does look like a pattern you might see on a gymnast's leotard, though.

The faces seem a bit disturbing. The eyes are too big, even for the anime style.
They just all have this same kind of alien look to them.

Just work on the facial details, try to get a real defined look, so they don't all look the same . Otherwise greatwork! ^_^

You have the right to that opinion, even though it's wrong! (just teasing). ^_^

I used to make eyes quite a bit bigger and with a lot less shape to them. I'm pretty happy with the way I'm doing them right now. I've been working a lot on getting faces down pat, but I don't think I'll really reduce the SIZE of the eyes, but I keep working on giving them more life, for want of a better term.

The size is just a matter of personal taste to me.
