Fire Temple

Ooooh, it's a boulder!!!

Ooooh, it’s a boulder!!!

Whoohoo! It’s the Fire Temple! I love this picture. Link looks so good. The torches work well as well. The shading is… my best shaded picture ever. I do know the shortcomings: Link has small hands, the bottom of tunic does look like a skirt, etc. But even so, the rendition of his face (what you can see of it) is very good for me, and I think I managed to get the different colours of his clothes to look different even in pencil. There’s even some dynamicism in the pose!

My brother says this is the second best picture I’ve ever drawn.

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.

Mage, King, and Sage

King Freddie looks old

King Freddie looks old

The cheerful one at the top is a mage, who is the son of the chief advisor of the King of Almarlia. He’s a friend of Cedric. He has Celtic pins holding his cloak up and an amulet. I like him. The one at the bottom is the King of Almarlia, Frederic. That may not be his final name, or else that may not be his final design. That’s why it says “for now”. The one on the right is Lord Shale, only very bad. His hair turned out nuts. There needs to be more of it over his forehead.

Mercenary (name unknown) and Sage

I have a big shoulder, and nobody touch it!

I have a big shoulder, and nobody touch it!

The guy at the top is a Mercenary class, but I gave him a big shoulderpad so he can upgrade to Hero-class without too many hassles. He has blue-green hair and eyes, but I still think he looks too much like Raven. He’s also got a red shirt with a blue undershirt, and the shoulder pad is brown with grey spikes (oh, how very interesting. >_<7) He might be the brother of the peg knight shown yesterday.

The guy at the bottom has, like I said, creamy crinkly hair. He’s (lord somebody) and a bit of a dandy about the hair. Since then we’ve determined that his name is Shale, which, I would say is a ‘totally awesome’ name. Lord Shale is a Sage-class. I said that, didn’t I. Huh. My brother says he looks too girly. I don’t care. I really like the pose on the left, which will be used for his ‘official art’ but the one on the right is what’s going to be used for his ‘talk-sprite’.

Pegasus Knight and Shaman Kid (names unknown)

Hi! We don't exist yet!

Hi! We don’t exist yet!

Here is a concept sketch of a pegasus knight for my brother’s Fire Emblem game, and a mini sketch for a shaman dude. My brother doesn’t like him. I thought that there should some more non-nobles – they were all nobles so far, or dressed like them (peg knights always wear fairly fancy-looking armour, even if they’re mercenaries, and tall boots and miniskirts). So shaman-dude looks a bit scruffy. On purpose.

If you can’t read the tentative colour assignments, the shaman is going to have shiny black hair and probably violet clothes. And that’s not even the part that’s written down. The peg knight is going to have grey eyes, a brightly coloured headband (perhaps with a flower pattern), greyish-green hair (I like that colour), and light blue armour with white detailwork. The shirt underneath might be red, but probably will be dark grey.

She looks too much like Tana, in my opinion.

Shale comes tomorrow! Yay!

Social Knights (names unknown)

"Yo!" "...Shut up, greenie." "Aww."

“Yo!” “…Shut up, greenie.” “Aww.”

Here are the famed social knights. I think the guy on the left is in green, and the guy on the right is in red. I forget whether my brother is planning to follow Fire Emblem ‘tradition’ and make red-knight strong, or if he’s going to go with FE7 and make green-knight strong. All I know is that he doesn’t like how I did the green knight. He says the hair is not right.

(he said to make it look like him, at least that’s what I heard…)

Anyway, the armour on these guys is not nearly right at all, but they’re also Recruits. They can live with it until they promote to Cavalier (I don’t like Armour Knights) and then to… Paladin! (I don’t like Great Knights)

Archer boy (name unknown)

Aww, a birdie!

Aww, a birdie!

This is a really sweet looking archer, whom I guess comes at the beginning. What I’ve learned about him is that he’s the brother of the ‘social knights’ (see Kent and Sain) of my brother’s game. I think everyone’s going to be level 1: Cedric Lv 1 Lord, Lartan Lv 1 Paladin, archer lv 1 Archer, and knights Lv 1 Recruits. That’s right, Recruits. My brother wants them to get as much experience as possible, and thus starts them at basically level -10.

Prince Cedric of Almarlia

I am noble-minded! Plus I have a big lance.

MY BROTHER THINKS THIS IS THE BEST PICTURE I EVER DREW.

I don’t know why. I think it might have to do with the fact that it’s of his lord-class hero character of his Fire Emblem dream game that he’s writing. This youth’s name is Cedric, and he’s the prince of Almarlia. That’s about all I know about the game, besides the fact that his Jeigan-type paladin-class character is called Lartan. Also, I shaded. And did lots of detail.

I’ve done concept art for a bunch of guys: my favourite so far is a sage-class named Shale with creamy long crinkly hair in a very extremely loose ponytail tied with black velvet ribbon.
