The cover to Book 1 of my Fire Emblem 7: Rekka no Ken fanfiction. Not my best work, but it started out really sketchy, and then I got serious, and then I got bored. It’s kind of random, just some people posing. Not inspired like the other one. So it’s really only here as a concept. Blah. Lyn’s Legion, GO!
I’ll do a better job of this someday. Maybe. If I feel like it. ; )
As it is Remembrance Day, have some beautiful poetry.
<NERD TIME> This morning, my D&D group got together… we’re millimetres from finishing the story arc, but we really only had time to finish the boss battle and then RUN home literally to get ready for the concert this afternoon. It was a good concert, although afterwards everyone made a fuss about how good I was to have covered for one person’s missed entrance that I forgot she missed by three bars later. : P Anyway, so we got back to the town that had weird-type zombies in it, and the DM’s older brother whom we’d never met before played the main NPC, which was awesome. (They have a very similar playing style, though E paces more than C and seems to have swallowed the rulebook a la Hermione.) And we found the boss, which was an evil cleric and a devil she summoned, and Myra and Torrigan (our cleric and paladin) took on the devil while Kellan and Illinia (our rogue and druid) took on the evil cleric. Kellan found the invisible cleric by running into her, and then the NPC wizard stopped her going out the door even with his old-man-STR 7, but then she got away, and the wizard ran after her and she knocked him out, and Illinia ran after to keep the wizard from dying, but then SHE GOT KILLED. Evil cleric rolled a critical on ‘Drain Life’ or something. So then Myra our good cleric got really mad, criticaled for max damage on the devil, and ran outside to help, where Illinia had been resurrected as a zombie by the cleric and forced to attack the rogue. So Myra dropped Illinia with Turn Undead, and someone got the evil cleric. Oh, and the paladin healed the wizard.
Fortunately, the zombie-healing potion we went away from the town for also resurrected Illinia in a normal fashion, so she’s back in action. I think. She’ll have some questions for the cleric when she gets past the dumbfounded stage, though. </NERD TIME>
So all that was just to say I feel like drawing a comic about our adventures sometime. Maybe Saturday morning, when I’m travelling. Though someone needs to email me back about all that because we still have planning to do!
Well! Here is Ceniro, and he’s just going to make me squeal with delight, because I always like it when he shows up. In this picture, he’s actually journeying with Eliwood, but Lyn took time out for ‘Lyn’s Legion’, the Original, to get together, so there’s Florina, the little figure on the left, Wil sitting between her and Lyn, Lyn waving her sword with rather long arms… and Kent and Sain, who are too far away to tell apart. And their loyal friendly tactician is sitting under a tree a short distance away, just enjoying the fact that they’re there again, and not even looking at his Gam- farseer. Seriously, it’s not a Gameboy. Really. It has buttons and stuff, but they’re not Gameboy buttons. Actually, the latest design has no buttons. I figured that would be beyond the imagination of medieval spellsmiths. It might have had levers, but its designer thought those would maybe catch on things and just generally be too unwieldy. So it has a purely magic interface. Now, at least.
This picture is of Kent and Sain, on deformed horses. I never have any idea what size horses are supposed to be. Epona in Twilight Princess is gloriously massive, but this is pre-TP, and horses aren’t my speciality anyway. In fact, this is a pretty bad picture.
Two pictures in one day? Huh? Well, they were both on the same page, so there. Two red-headed men propose to two greenish-bluish-tealish-turquoiseish-haired women, with predictable results. So, yeah. Seth and Eirika from Sacred Stones, from the chapter where Seth takes a spear through the shoulder in my story. Kent and Fiora from Blazing Sword, at the end somewhere. Kent is so hard to draw recognizably, and Fiora isn’t great either. I guess I just had to get the sap out of my system. That scribble in Seth’s tent? It’s his armour, I think. Except I cheated. (snark) ^_^7 Okay, I’m being random. Sorry. His coat was okay, though.
The Social Knights of Caelin (and of Fire Emblem 7), Kent and Sain! These two are best buddies and pals and partners and everything – although if anyone suggests that this picture suggests they’re a couple, they’ll have to deal with Fiora’s long sharp lance and Salir’s… knobbly bony elbows and knees.
