Yaaay! Commander Lord Ike!
I was listening to Fire Emblem 9 music, and there’s this one track that sounds so… cinematic. It’s called #38 “Rally the Spirit”, and it has this rush in it and then a beautiful theme in the trombones… It’s just like climbing to the top of a green hill ahead of your army and seeing your beautiful homeland once again, and the sun shines on your face and the wind streams through your hair and makes your headband tails flow out behind you… Doesn’t seem to have much effect on your cloak, however.
I did use something of a reference for Ike’s hair. I also did this in pseudo-anime style (see mouth) but I do like the eye and ear. This whole picture completely made up for the last three or four sloppy jobs.
I love FE9 music! I should listen to it more often! I should try and put it on my iPod!
Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett is now on KCTS (at midnight, I believe… we’re taping it – yes, we still have a VCR! And mighty proud of it, too!). We’ve seen A Scandal in Bohemia and The Dancing Men which has a nice guy die in it… too bad! But Holmes – I mean, Brett – oh, forget it, Holmes – is brilliant! Hooray!
Um, I guess I felt like drawing Fire Emblem 9 people. Imaginary cookies to people who can identify everyone of the Greil Mercenaries, and the Laguz in the back. Hints: the person lying on the ground has ‘hungry’ written over her, like so:
This picture is of… King Tibarn of the hawks consulting with Ike, and Janaff to get in the way- er, help. They demonstrate their incredible shapeshifting power. Ike begins to get a plan. He’s supposed to be going ‘hmm’ in the second half.
