From the suggester: "I'm floored by the graceful flow in Lovely in Chartreuse by *sypri. The caring look in their eyes show the deep bond summoner and summoned beast share. The brilliant colouring enhances the trust they have in one another, adding a tender atmosphere capable of warming up your heart with just a look. A beautiful rendition to this magical character."

Description

My personal touch to the lovely Rydia. I took some liberties with her outfit and used this as an excuse to paint satin and silk =D She's admiring her cute little mini leviathan =]

*edit* Ahhh thank you so much for the DD...it is an absolute honor and brings me much joy to know the feeling I tried to convey through this picture has been somewhat successful~

Astonishing! Indeed, a piece of art that deserves a critique.
It´s a Rydia customization, an artwork like I was thinking I would never see again, since FFIV for NDS showed us a exact reference in what she is supposed to looks like and the "magic" in trying to figure her in old suggested details was going to vanish...
The challenge in creating a Rydia is reproduce her charisma staying loyal to Amano's aesthetics designed for her in 1991, you surely attained this requisite, making possible for everyone to recognize a Rydia in a line that is so different than the original.
Though her face looks strange for me, your concept was very successful as she looks more like a native, something that fits well with her village in the game.
Her ribbons and others adornments are another thing that makes every Rydia unique, yours aren't so simple as habitually but did well, as they create movement lines that support a deep breeze sensation, also reinforced by her clothes and hair.
Her average stature, thin and with reasonable measures makes her a childlike woman, strengthening her purity and innocence.
The little Myst Dragon also made a important role, emerging from the air, fascinated with her as we do watching the whole scene.

My sincere felicitations, you overcome any expectations I had about any possible Rydia's interpretations (even more if considering that NDS fact listed above).
