Chibi Oscar

Helllllooooooo, handsome

Helllllooooooo, handsome

It’s Oscar with his eyes open! My brother says that doesn’t count as chibi, but I say he’s cuter than usual, so I get to call him chibi. I personally don’t think he’s “squinty-eyed” – I think his eyes are just permanently in the ‘happy’ Japanese sign, though so ambiguously that it doesn’t look strange when his mouth turns serious and he talks about serious stuff. Hey, Oscar’s cool, and a pretty good paladin. And he cooks, yet he isn’t a nutcase like Lowen. (ha ha ha ha) His ear is also slightly detailed. Nice eyes, though.

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.

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.

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.

Anne

Boo!

Boo!

I like this picture. It’s of a hawk laguz named Anne. I made her up because I like hawks, and I like pretending I am one – when no one’s around. This is opposed to my usual fashion of creating characters: a) so-and-so is handsome, so they obviously need someone to share their life with, and b) this NPC needs a name and background because he/she looks so darn cool.

Anyhow, Anne is a perky young hawk – not over 50 – who cleans the king’s chambers, hence the mop and bucket. She is perhaps the only one of my characters to have a bare midriff. Hey, she’s a hawk, which means athletic, and they live in a fairly southerly climate, where it’s rather warm. And short hair is something new, too. Her most memorable feature is the fact that her right wing is deformed, from birth.

Hawk Laguz + Ike

Flap...

Flap…

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.

Pfft, yeah right. As if he’d forget they can transform. I can’t draw hands.

Reyson and Leanne

Leanne and Reyson in portrait, except that I didn’t know how to draw Leanne! So her hair is completely wrong. Darn. But Reyson, on the other hand, my brother believes good enough to pass as official art – after colouring. …I don’t think so, but it’s a pretty good drawing of him. And I rather like drawing wings, even if I have no idea how to do it properly.
