Continuing with my FFXII Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern redesigns It’s finally Penelo’s turn. I took inspiration from all her outfits and pulled colors from each one to make a single color scheme. The pants are basically lifted straight from her Revenant Wings outfit, right down to the embroidery on the hem. The motifs on her vest are taken from her original outfit. I kept the overall design simple, because her canon designs are rather simple especially in contrast to Ashe’s. And yes, she does have a feather tucked in her sash. 

Once again the colors are off because my tablet display and regular monitor are calibrated differently. And you can see why I avoid drawing shoes at all costs. They’re supposed to look like her shoes from Tactics A2 but rounder, but they ended up looking like Vivienne Westwood’s rocking horse shoes. :/

a thing that always makes me sad re: vaan is that throughout their journey, i feel like every new place our sheltered desert orphans discover, vaan thinks to himself “reks would love it here” or “i wish reks could see this too”

this ofc goes for penelo, too, who lost her brothers as well. idk i just need our orphan babs just having a moment together mid or late game where they kinda go off on their own for a few hours to be together, because the grief still comes in waves, and they are both the only people who would understand – vaan and penelo both knew and loved the ones the other lost. 

penelo gets really shafted in the game in terms of character spotlight, but i know she is hurting just as badly as vaan is. she lost all her brothers too. so i’m sure there are moments where it just consumes her and the only person that she feels would understand is vaan. dalmascan orphan solidarity thanks
