Artist's Commentary
When I first saw Faris's Dancer outfit, I thought it was a traditional kimono or something, which cracked me up, because she's a pirate, you know? It was really uncharacteristic... but then I saw some Japanese game art which had a little SD Dancer Faris, and it cracked me up even more, cause she was dressed like... like Paula Abdul or something! So I absolutely had to draw this. ;) I'm actually somewhat happy with this, because 1: I actually spent time CGing the hair. 2: I found a picture of boots like the ones I wanted her to be wearing, and figured out how to give them a nice shiny appearance. 3: This is the first time I've drawn Faris looking more or less like the mental picture the sprite gives me... slender, pretty, but not too feminine, with the hair partially covering her face. Looking just at the face, she could pass as a man...
