This Incredibly Creative Artist Brought Disney Characters Into The Final Fantasy Universe And It's Totally Epic
You don't have to be a huge fan of Final Fantasy to love this Disney crossover, but if you are a fan of both, you might walk away completely obsessed.
Disney and Final Fantasy do not usually collide this well, but Allison McKenzie makes the crossover look effortless. The Los Angeles illustrator, known online as Skirtzzzz, has built a following by turning fandom favorites into bold, imaginative fan art that feels instantly recognizable and totally fresh.
Between commissions, her shop, Patreon work, and her webcomic Event Sky, McKenzie keeps busy, but this series is the kind of project that grabs attention fast. She blends Disney characters with Final Fantasy style in a way that feels playful, polished, and surprisingly natural.
And once the Frozen-inspired pieces enter the mix, the whole collection gets even more fun.
1. Gun Mage Jane
The Gun Mage is a dressphere in Final Fantasy (X-2 and X-2: Last Mission). The Gun Mage's special skill set, Fiend Hunter, allows them to deal more damage to various fiend types with specially charged bullets.

"In Notre Dame, a gypsy is considered nothing but a street-dancing witch—in the eyes of Frollo, at least. If given the chance, Esmeralda might try on a Black Mage sphere and work some magic. She has the moves down already, anyway. Plus, her color scheme just works so well with it!"The Black Mage is the dedicated offensive spellcaster of the game. They are able to cast all Black Magic that can deal heavy damage to enemies or even outright kill them!

5. Floral Fallal Belle
"Belle gets the Floral Fallal sphere, which I know is unique to Yuna, but I wanted to keep these all closely related to FF X-2. Plus, I thought the specific style of the sphere was perfect for her! The flower in the back and the glowing mirror—quite close! I also intended to save the top three princesses for the Specials—and Belle is definitely a fan favorite."

6. Alchemist Sally
Alchemists are masters of science and nature who "ensure their livelihood through the transmogrification of mundane materials into wondrous wares—from curative concoctions to potent potables. Upon conducting their symphonies of commixing and combining, distilling and decocting, the impossible waxes possible, and miracles are born."

8. Thief Kida
"Kida is a mysterious one! That being said, a thief class might be a good fit for her—plus, the outfits have the lost world flair that her people flaunt. She could easily rock any sphere; she has the proper skill sets and character for any of them—so this was tough!"Thief is a job available to humes and moogles that allows the user to steal various loot from enemies.

So, I've left the FFX/X-2 realm for these girls. I just felt like this was too good to pass up, so it's a crossover, in a crossover series?! I've been playing through Final Fantasy 13 and noticed some irresistible similarities between the two leading ladies/sisters from it and Disney's Frozen:
Elsa: Super serious gal who thinks her younger sister's sudden engagement is totally obnoxious. She's also the main character who wears her hair over one shoulder and is a badass with a cape.Lightning: Super serious gal who thinks her younger sister's sudden engagement is totally obnoxious. She's also the main character who wears her hair over one shoulder and is a badass with a cape.Anna: Super happy-go-lucky romantic who can't understand why her older sister doesn't support her decision to get engaged. She also turns into ice, and her sister has to find a way to save her.Serah: Super happy-go-lucky romantic who can't understand why her older sister doesn't support her decision to get engaged. She also turns into crystal, and her sister has to find a way to save her.As far as the outfits are concerned, like with the rest of my Disney crossovers, I like to try and come up with hybrids of the original costumes and whatever I'm mixing it with. I didn't want to just do Lightning's outfit with an ice blue theme, etc. I wanted the designs to feel like they belonged in both worlds.
For another “who pays what” fight, friends arguing over equal vacation splits across different financial backgrounds hits the same nerve.

In Final Fantasy X-2, the Gunner dressphere is Yuna's default outfit.

13. Festival Goers Lilo and Stitch
"I merged Hawaiian festival themes with Japanese festival themes for a happy medium to cater to the character and sphere theme. I thought the festival concept really worked for Lilo since Hawaii can put on some really colorful and fun events—and how could I leave out Stitch?"The festivalist or festival goer is a dressphere based on a design sent in by an eight-year-old fan for Square Enix's dress designing competition!
