Jackary Archives Day 166 - Bikini Tifa (2022) (Patreon)

Today's Archives Post is Tifa from Final Fantasy VII, in a cute swimsuit of my own design!

If you're a long-time follower, you've almost surely seen this piece before, as I've reposted it several times. And although this Tifa hasn't been posted to the Archives yet, I have posted her on Patreon as a GIF and wallpaper. That being said, her topless version is something I've rarely ever posted, so I hope, if nothing else, you'll enjoy some Tifa titty on your feed today.

ARTIST NOTES

This was an interesting piece because it's a commissioned artwork that's meant to be a companion piece to this drawing of Aerith. However, it was drawn over a year later, and the person who ordered it was a different commissioner than the one who ordered the Aerith! They liked the Aerith piece so much they wanted to see a version of Tifa that matched, so they paid for it.

That made this drawing a unique challenge. I had gone in a different direction, stylistically, than what I did for Aerith. And yet, this piece had to match, so I intentionally created it to look similar. The most notable aspect of these two pieces is that they're both lineless, something I've rarely ever done before!

Anyway, this drawing of Tifa had two versions -- one in a one-piece swimsuit, and one in a bikini -- which were both variations that the Aerith drawing had, too.

While I'm more partial to the one-piece version of this drawing, I still quite like this bikini! I like to make little references to characters' games without being too on-the-nose, so I threw in a little save point charm onto her bikini. It's not a lot, but I think it adds some flavor to this swimsuit. I also like what's going on with the transparent halter straps. What do you think? One of my better or worse swimsuit designs?
