Janaff snores

Lucia: You'd never think he's over 100 except that he snores. Janaff: Hey!

Lucia: You’d never think he’s over 100 except that he snores. Janaff: Hey!

The sort of back story behind this picture is that Janaff and Lucia are hiding in a large shallow cave on the side of a cliff, and she has a nightmare so he holds her, and falls asleep in a rather uncomfortable position. Well, she’s comfortable, at least. And that’s about it. I like the pose. I couldn’t let myself erase the bit of Janaff’s belt that’s hidden by her arm, so it looks a little funny. Ugh. They’re sweet together.

Oscar

The cheerful, yet responsible knight

The cheerful, yet responsible knight

I like Oscar, the green social knight from Fire Emblem 9. And I don’t really like his official art; in the artwork, the ‘caveliers all’ wallpaper, and his sprite, he looks different in all of them. So I did his sprite because I like it the best. He’s got some heavy-duty looking armour. Not like some of them, where it looks three-quarters decorative.

 

Marth

The Prince of Altea charges

More proof that I can occasionally draw! This is one of my brother’s favourite pictures – that I drew. It’s of the Marth Smash Trophy from Super Smash Bros. Melee. It did come out well, although the tail end of the cloak clearly has some problems with subtlety – and not just in my picture.

Frelia’s Finest

Royal and Knight... but not the usual ones

Royal and Knight… but not the usual ones

This picture is of another Fire Emblem 8 couple that is probably pretty uncanonical: Innes and Syrene. I wrote a story to go with this, too. Innes’ clothes are terrible, and Syrene’s hair. And they didn’t fit together quite right. And Innes’ steel bow is pretty hacky, and I’m not sure what happened to his quiver. Syrene’s armour was a little better.

Tunic Study

It's a shirt.

It’s a shirt.

I expressed an interest in learning to draw cloth realistically. Dad suggested I get something – a magazine, perhaps – and pick something out of that and draw it. I picked a photo from the National Geographic that was lying around the living room, a photo of a young boy hauling himself up to look into the barrel of a giant (disused, I think) tank. Here is his shirt. Proof that I can draw well on occasion.

Guy with Green Hair

(glare)

(glare)

This is a random guy who popped up in one of my dreams one night and I thought he’d make a good character for Fire Emblem 9.5, so I drew him. His hair is a grey-ish green, not grey because he’s aging, but grey because anybody can have any colour in Japanese things. His shirt is probably grey-ish as well. And he glares a lot.

My brother says this guy’ll make a good villain. Shucks. He would’ve been an interesting hero.

Pent and Louise

I’m the Mage General of Etruria, and my wife is a pretty hot archer

I decided to draw this picture for the sole reason that Pent and Louise from Fire Emblem 7 make a very good looking couple, and are obviously completely devoted to each other. I’d guess that Pent is about 30, and Louise is maybe 25 (so that means according to my reckoning, they’ve been married about 11 years). Anyway, celeb gossip aside (Pent is the Mage General of Etruria) I used both sprites and official artwork for reference, and that didn’t help me with Louise because the only artwork I could find was a tiny little image about 150 by 300 pixels or so. So, her clothing and especially hair are not nearly as good as they could be, and I tried several times. Pent came out pretty good first try. I’m fascinated by the fact that his son, Klein, looks EXACTLY like him except with shorter, blonde hair.

Lyon and the Shadows

Wh-what - Wh-who are you?

Wh-what – Wh-who are you?

This is a depiction of Lyon encountering the Demon King for perhaps the first time. The black tendrils of shadow are coiling around him, probably whispering strange and arcane things. Lyon’s kind of scared, but he’s doing experiments in the name of peace – it’s to cure his sick father. Unfortunately… well, bad things happen. Poor Lyon.

I actually like this picture better than the previous one, but I don’t like that way of doing hair very much.

Happy Lyon

Nice to meet you, Eirika, Ephraim.

Nice to meet you, Eirika, Ephraim.

Lyon! The Prince of Grado from Fire Emblem 8 gets some more paper time. I wanted to draw him happy because he comes across as a pretty tragic character in the game: in love with Eirika, beating himself up for being physically weak and losing to Ephraim (and Eirika) all the time, even though they’re both terrific friends and he knows it, and he appreciates it, etc. Also his father getting sick and dying doesn’t help. He’s far too sensitive to be an Emperor, but with his friends’ help, he could have made it. As a sensitive Emperor, he would have listened to his people very carefully. Instead, the Demon King ate his soul. Blah. So, this is him being happy because he doesn’t get to be often enough.

I used his game sprite for a reference for his hair again, and his clothes. His face came out a bit long.
