LR: FFXIII Contest Entry

i decided to give this contest a shot, as it's the first dA contest to actually interest me, since ffxiii is my favorite ff, haha. even if i don't win, i'd be happy just to have mr. nomura look at my art. his art was one of my first influences, aah. but i decided to design an outfit based off the giant crystal structure in the first game's ending (and i reused and edited the background from my other lightning drawing, ahah). i tried to keep it sort of elegant, but at the same time cool enough to remain in-character for her. it was really fun!
