This Incredibly Creative Artist Brought Disney Characters Into The Final Fantasy Universe And It's Totally Epic

From Los Angeles, California, USA, Allison McKenzie is a full-time freelance illustrator, small business owner, and costume designer. On social media, she operates under the name "Skirtzzzz," where she has amassed thousands of fans and followers, and it's not hard to see why.

The extremely talented and skilled artist has interests in all the right fandoms and a genuinely creative mind, giving her the ability to take incredible creative freedom with each project she undertakes. When she's not taking commissions or working on items for her Patreon supporters or her shop, she's working on a webcomic called Event Sky.

Created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, Final Fantasy is a Japanese anthology science fantasy media franchise owned by Square Enix. If you've ever taken even a slight interest in video games, you've probably at least heard of Final Fantasy.

Since its first release in December of 1987, Final Fantasy has had 16 installments of its games, CGI films, anime, manga, and even novels. As a series that has sold more than 164 million software units worldwide, it is one of the best-selling video game series of all time.

You don't have to be a huge fan of Final Fantasy to love this crossover between Disney and FF (mostly X and X-2) that McKenzie has crafted; the art is genuinely incredible. However, if you are a fan of both, you're really in for a treat!

3. Black Mage Esmerelda

"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!

4. Ronso Captain Amelia and Maid Marian

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."skirtzzz

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."

The Songstress is a dressphere with a key role in the Final Fantasy X-2 story.

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.

In the artist's own words:

"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 to try and come up with something that related to her outfit's silhouette/details, but also referenced Elsa's iconic dress as well. For the sword, I figure Elsa would make her own weapon—so I gave her an ice blade and did a gradient that harkens to her castle's colors.Same goes for Anna—it's just a hybrid of the layering/styles of Serah's, but with the outfit Anna wears in the film. Yay sleeveless cardigan things and converse! I also did more of a Serah hairstyle for Anna, with a single braid, rather than her usual two. The Farron sisters seem to wear their hair quite similarly. "

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!
