Final Fantasy Brave Exvius was a mobile game that I loved dearly. I was completely free-to-play with it, but was lucky enough to get some really good units, including Olive who was very powerful when she was first released.
I loved Olive. The way she could obliterate the enemy was just awesome. Having her allowed me to take part in some of the harder content that I previously couldn’t do. So when Square Enix announced a fan art contest for the game, I decided to make her.
This was the first doll I designed completely from scratch, using the knowledge I had at the time. By then, I had been crocheting for ten years, but during those first five years, I barely made anything. It wasn’t until 2013 that I fell into the crafts hard.
If I was doing it again, I’d make her differently. I had made all her limbs separately and sewn them on, which didn’t work as well as I had hoped. Still, I was quite pleased with my results, and proud at having designed something myself.
She took 17 hours and 2 minutes to design and crochet.
