To be honest, even though hair always looks like one of the most complex and detail-heavy elements in anime avatars, faces are twice as hard to draw for me. It’s super common to redraw a face 3 or 4 times. 🥲

It seems that because most characters have clothes and accessories around their neck area, the default model's neck might be deliberately made rather long and straight??? So when I saw her neck at first glance, I felt there's something off, like her model was built in a different style 😅
I'm begging Nintendo to have Koei's writers teach IS's writers some basic geography and military knowledge, please!! Seriously, what kind of stupid regime leader would pick a spot like this for their capital?? 🙃
I keep seeing English-speaking users say Disney movies are boring because all the characters look the same. God, please stop saying that. I don't think Western audiences who watch anime or play JRPGs get bored by an entire work just because the characters share a similar art style.
🎆 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🎆 We're starting the year right with No.129 (@no-129.bsky.social) and their stunning illustration for January 🥳 Our local Three Hopes enthusiast also has some charming merch in store! A hint: 🦁🐺🦊
「好きなもの：妹」👀 Seriously, you bearers of the Crest of Lamine really love your siblings😂
Honestly, after playing some earlier Fire Emblem titles and Dynasty Warriors, I've come to realize that what I actually enjoy is just the storytelling by Koei Tecmo, not Fire Emblem. And with Fortune's Weave, it's already been confirmed that Koei won't be involved.

The rotation sensitivity on it is acting up as well, but it ends up producing an unexpected natural ink look 🤣 And btw, Annette is always a pleasure to draw🧡

Just got a video of the silver card samples from a friend. It’s a bit different from what I had in mind, so I still need to tweak the printing files, but I'm blown away by how shiny it is😂
Finally finished these 2 pages with the weirdest reading flow! My only concern is whether the text will still fit after English localization...

I’ve been looking into even more content, and through these comparisons, I’ve realized something shocking: the English localization seems to be based strictly on the literal surface level of the Japanese text. They completely missed the nuances and implied meanings.
No.129@no-129.bsky.social · 4mo agoSylvain is such an interesting character. In his C-support with Dimitri, he mentions that he tries to avoid Dimitri because Dimitri often stays up late. Then, in the Verdant Wind route, his line when he falls at Gronder Field is: 'Your Highness, you won't have any more nightmares, will you?
Linking back to my previous post, this is exactly why I tend to belive IS simply isn't following the original character lore. Koei Tecmo is more than capable of writing such intricate callbacks. And trust me, they do this constantly in their own games as well. The difference in attitude is obvious.
