I went to hear Amabile and Leahy perform on the weekend and some of the music Leahy sang made me feel like drawing Pent and Louise in modern clothing being adorable. If you want to see what it looks like without all the faded nostalgic blurriness, that would be here.
Oh my gosh I love Pent and Louise. They’ll feature prominently in my AU sequel to FE7, in which they get banished from Etruria and wander around with the (alive) Ceniro, trying to clear their name.
Oops, my bad. This one came before yesterday’s. But anyway, you notice the different style. This one is much more anime-flavoured, while the other one has some attempts at vague realism. Also, I failed at this one.
Man, how long has it been since I used the Fire Emblem category?
Let’s do more. : D
Iiiiiit’s Pent! Drawn back when I was kind of obsessing over trying to put him in Sims3. Still haven’t managed it to my satisfaction, not that I’ve done any work on that whatsoever since the Tour started. Continue reading
This picture can be found in the story chapter below, and is the last of the illustrations for the Pent story to date. I rather like this one; I had no reference for Pent but he came out rather well. This was the second picture I drew, so it’s a little out of order. In this picture, Ceniro is receiving a magical device designed to help him plot strategy. It’s like a GPS, sort of. I’m rather proud of the wilted flower by the waterbarrel. The stick thing that Pent has is his heal staff.
Woot! This is my big dramatic cover for The Tactician and the Jewel, showing Ceniro valiantly vaulting over a rock, and his employer about to kick big fiery butt over on the right. And, of course, all the minor Player Characters around him with their names attached so I don’t forget who is who. A few of them you might know, if I drew them in greater detail! Some of my friends have already seen this. Apparently they like the horses. This is flattering.
…Actually you might know all of the PCs if I drew them in greater detail and you knew what my inspirations were. I’m only missing a couple of guys, like the shaman. He’s not at the part of the story this scene is from, which is a generic battle scene somewhere between chapters 4 and 5, I think? Continue reading

Rekka no Ken: Vol. 2: The Tactician and the Jewel
Chapter 1: A Lord’s Quest
Ceniro shifted nervously in the cushioned wooden seat. He was waiting with six or seven other men and one woman in the antechamber to a lord’s study, waiting to have an interview with the lord to see if he could gain another temporary position as a tactician. The other people waiting were all much older than he was by a matter of decades, and all were richly dressed. And the place itself – it was furnished with dark, rich furniture in this wing, and footmen had escorted each applicant to the chamber and escorted those who had completed their interview to another room – or to the door, if they didn’t meet the lord’s preferences. The young tactician felt completely out of place and wished he could shrink to invisibility. Continue reading
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.
