finished a commission! for @AlmsEpoch on twitter , ditraina from octopath: champions of the continent! this was a really fun commission to do - her outfit is SO cute! pleasure doing business with you!

assembling and. is this a safe space. i don't love vali as a character but i really do like her fashion sense quit ea bit. like i think the writing is repetitive but her base, ny, and summer outfits are all p great, all with a good color scheme

xenoblade posting on main. anyways can i get y'all to consider pyra in an outfit like peach/daisy's touring ones. like i think she'd look so cute with the crop top jacket/shorts/kneepads/gloves/bow on head look

another fw thought. i've seen apprehension towards ppl for like. having characters/concepts reused from 3h and my hot take there is it depends on the execution. sometimes it's just reuse of past things, but sometimes it can be developing on a theme. like imo zeke/sirius > camus

hm. i like baldr's outfit some but honetly i don't love this banner? half because Oh Boy More Heroes OCs and half because alfonse/sharena's outits are kinda relaly basic? the rest are...fine but not really that inspiring

alsos ince it's on the mind, analyzing engage anims and this arena vid gives a good example. the miss->counter animation flows *really fast and well*. the hit->stunned->attack isn't too bad either. but they combine for REALLY quality anims www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2bQ...

sorry mean thing to say. i htink the hting i'm most excitd for for 3h->fortune's weave is not being on the warriors engine anymore

ok gang, considering making a comment on nerdiness and i need input. which weapon triangle is nerdiest ot know: -the magic triangle(light/dark/anima) -the magic triangle(fire/wind/thunder) -fates's double set of weapon effectiveness(tomes/daggers/bows), or -they're all nerdy, archie

oh also while halloween is on my mind. i know she already has a canon halloween outfit but i think witch camilla could go hard but lik.e sov witch. like tell me she woudln't slay in one of these. imo you could also turn her horns into bigger ones like nuibaba's

hot take while i assemlbe. halloween is an alt type that's already full of bangers but these have to be some of the very best. like fates witch is already a really neat outfit design, adding gorgeous star themeing to it AND making a guy variant is so SO cool

also guess! what time it is! iiiit's time to reopen commissions! i need to raise 120$ by july 20th, so comms will be open until i hit that mark. pls message me at .archsage on discord if you've got a request!

so....is anyone else excited for fortune's weave? i sprited leda, since her route is the one i'm most interested in! i want to know how the hell she summons monsters, but also i just find the premise really neat. will do the other 3 eventually!

was going through my planning docs and cam eacross this. if you look really closely you can see where i got sidetracked priorities: serve cunt serve cunt serve cunt put more dragons in the deck

giving the harmonic a theme: part ??? at this point, hatari camilla & micaiah! based on nailah and rafiel because listen. beautiful woman with one eye. angelic heron-descendant. it could work. also implies yuri-

had a loyal reader and commenter suddenly Stop reading and commenting just as i wrote something 15k that i think they'd enjoy. #feelsbadman. like they're free to leave when they want but also :( :( :(

related. hot take, conquest's final chapter, Night Breaks Through, has one of the coolest and most distinctive settings in the entire series, if not THE most. like having it be going back down with weird spacey water flooding the building you are at the peak of is incredible

...okay sorry one last. comment about maps i think part of what i like in engage maps that wasn't in 3h was like. variance. both in map layout, which was immaculate, but laso in *aesthetic*. a lot of maps are at different times of day/have different color schemes/different vibes, which helps a lot!

i think as an artist it's very important to balance out cool things everyone wants with self indulgent bullshit that is for you and maybe two other people tops

oh also if no one else is saying it, i will vibes i'm getting so far with leda's story concept

really, i think the issue with 3h was scope creep, widespread recruitment and the extremely bizarre assumptoin that people would only play one route (and thus they don't need to be differentiated htat much). hopefully they should knwo better now. but like

also i've seen negativity abt calendar/routes again and my hot take? ig is that it hink both of those can be done well, they just...werne't last time. calendar is good in persona becuase you have a lot to do with your time, where you don't in 3h

fw trailer thread now that it's not live this is one of the things i'm more curious about. what the hell is this. i feel like there are jokes to be made about hundred line exploration bc that is the first thing it reminds me of-

poring through fw trailer now that it's ont live and this is one of the things i'm more curious about. what the hell is this. i feel like there are jokes to be made about hundred line exploration bc that is the first thing it reminds me of-

ok so that was. one of the most stacked directs i've ever seen? like i got pretty much everything i could have asked for/expected. i think i'm most hyped for pokopia at the curretn moment, but fortune's weave, xenoblade, deltarune are all incredible!!!

xenoblade genesis looks v cool but i will be honest, i think i would not have gotten that it's xenoblade without htem telling me. like not a bad thing, but half of that trailer gave more fire emblem

XB2 DEFINITIVE BLADE DIRECT CONTROL WOOOOOO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I HAVE WANTED THAT FOR LITERALLY EVER

i was stuck with sound off for forune's weave :( anywyas it def looks interesting? i am very curious about gameplay. aesthetically it's v interesting in that it feels like you took 3h out of the warriors engine (thank god) but also injected a dose or two of engage

if/when they remake radiant dawn i think it'd be cool if they made micaiah a flier. at least in her t3 promo. she kinda needs buffs imo anyways and that'd at least be fun for support

..really remake discourse always feels weird to me. i think y'all need to play sov or like. live a live remake. 'the original is always better' no it is not they can be comparable/the remake can REALLY shine in its own right.

reading the duo convo and feleing kinda meh about how alm's written there. i feel like i don't like alm for the same resaons IS does - i like the guy plenty, but it's more due to the down to earth/earnest nature he has in the remake. ...i wonder if a lot is the VA

personaposting on main (sorry). sometihng interesting to me about reload vs revival is it feels clear both have artistic direction heavily inspired by the anime adaptation - movies for reload and p4a for revival. just that p4a is, um. more widely beloved htan the movies

planning out who i'd do for that fe character for each letter thing and if you look really closely you can see where i struggled

also honestly opinion that'd get me stoned like ten years ago i think micaiah and camilla would be a solid choice for a harmonic just...in general. werid choice but solid choice ruling women with a doting motherly side that formed out of trauma/severe lack of affection

also sorry. ONE last spritepost micaiah just got a lot of little tweaks that oerall make the outfit better. the thing i'd say is if you need any evidence that IS has gotten better about when to have black outlines on parts or no...

also while i'm at it, i really like eliwood's dismounted sprite, too. i do't fully get how his outfit works, bu ti think it looks very lovely like this! nice and flowy...

while 'm still meh on the idea of cyl harmonics, i will admit to really appreciating the spritework this one gives us. dismounted camilla looks really nice, and i like being able to more directly compare to garon to see the Nohr Ruler Inspo on display!

Finding characters to compare to edelgard is fun, because comparison is a tool of analysis and leaves me with a more complete understanding of both. But also scary, because fe3h’s fandom scares me and I worry im gonna piss someone off and get death threats

reposting this piece from 2022 for it tis the season. happy pride gamers ❤️ 🌈 🎉 #fireemblem

waitasec. i post mostly feh sprites on reddit. that means another socmed account i need a different pfp for. which means i can justify doing another zexal edit 👁️🐉☄️🌌🌘

mmmild venting. got htis ocmment on reddit and. i don't blame them for bein gannoyed at the state of feh but also like...the fanart i do is a labor of love. i hope people don't just see it as collab slop. i know official and fanart are different things, but it makes me :( just a bit

got another pokemon x fe idea, with tsareena line camilla & elise! i figured tsareena is slayful enough to fit camilla, and then steenee fit for elise (and she can have a bounsweet to round out the line!)

feh pirate banner that does units associated WITH boat/port maps. so like red-sea queen celica for gaiden's many boat maps. seawind sniper takumi for CQ10. seafaring scholar canas for ch17x. stuff like that. is this anything

bored so doing more seasonal tier lists. anyways something you do see from spriting is that bride/christmas can sometimes be like genuinely really neat and cool and someties mbe "base outfit, but painted white/red"

got amiscolored monstrosity in me and it occurred to me that i may not be super clear what htis is gonna be! so. cookie to anyone who guesses what theme/idea this'll end up being

got my next pokemon x fe edit with decidueye takumi! version with and without cape wings. anyways i think he deserves Sinister Arrow Raid, i think he qualifies for that and much more (i've played CQ)

starting 3h discourse. standby. do y'all think edelgard would hate chatgpt. because i think she would, personally

but yeah whlie i'm ati t for avatar preferences kris - f, better customizations + interesting meta level to story robin - m, better supports with the other main characters corrin - f, but i'm fine with either byleth - m shez - either alear - either

also rambling, just on some bullshit. i hate the byleths' gender differences aestheticaly themost. it's not just that htey have idfferent outfits - the alears do and that doesnt bug me as much. it's that they're so different - and one of them is better and one of them is incoherent designwise.

spriting ivy and tbh hot take? i think sh ehas one of my fave fe designs, like. overall. like the focused color scheme and the shape of her outfit and the ELEGANCE is just. really, really good. i love it. i love HER.

sorry for the post frequency, am rearranging my files and it's taking forever. anyways someone please stop me from myself (debating putting a poem in the little mouseover text in a fanfic i'm writing. like each paragraph having another part of th poem if you hover your mouse htere)
