for 's Final Fantasy contest!! CX it was really fun designing this.

character~
this is my newest OC, Sayn! pronounced as 'sane'
She's actually a catgirl but with no tail. for a reason! CX;; half-human. hahah. that's actually the best reason i could come up with for forgetting to draw the tail...
she's around 17 years. i'm currently working on her profile page, but i still need to finish Rizeil's.
her friends often make fun of her because of her small boobs. xD; and the fact that she still wears skimpy stuff. " but you have nothing to show off! " they say. LOL.

notes~
how does that hat stay on? the hat is actually designed to be a part of a ponytail. yes. there is a small bob-ponytail at the back of her head, and the hat is part of the ponytail. haaaahha.
why doesn't she look like a red mage from ffxi?! ...i had no reference. xD; my only excuse. i didnt realize Musushi put up a new link to that site with all the red mages until i started to CG it. and that was after the inking. CX; i based off most of the attire off of FF:Advanced Tactics (Marche x Ritz, ftw!) and what Musuhi said himself: BE CREATIVE! so i went all out.
what are those silver things? they're some form of armor. xD; they don't go around to the back, though, it's just the sides. i made it for the purpose of not having that rapier sticking to her leg all the time. D: that would hurt.
what's with the music notes on her armor? that's my new signature. designed to make a 'T' but as a triplet, but it's also T for Tsuri. XD;
