February 14, 2013.

Mechanical pencil, Paint Tool SAI, Adobe Photoshop.

For the :iconfireemblem-club: Secret Santa!

Ahahah.. I squeaked this in last minute just like every other secret santa ever! XD
Though to be honest, I was done most of this much earlier in the day, but I had to go to work so.. >__> BUT LIFE FINDS A WAY, AS THEY SAY!

:iconkrad-eelav:'s a fan of Zihark, Jill, and Tauroneo as like.. a possibly friendly trio fighting to protect their country together. They are like Daien's Defenders. I never got to draw either Jill or Tauroneo before, so I thought this would be a cool one to do (plus I had to include Zihark for reasons! LOL).
Jill's flying around on top because she's supposed to be a Wyvern rider, but due to time constraints and space limitations on my sheet of paper, I didn't fit her wyvern in. Nor any of their weapons. XD BUT, I did add in the Daien crest! And it kind of looks like she's riding that!
It's Christmassy because of the colours, but it's also about friendship and loyalty and love for one's country! So also a Valentine! You see? It aaallll works! XD

Not drawn in my usual style, so of course it took longer (I am still fiddling around with imitating *Phobs, but I gave up half way because of time pressure! lol). And I got to play with a lot of textures to fancy it up.

Anywayyy.. I hope you like it, Krad~!

eeeeeep! :love: I actually saw this on tumblr first, and squeaked so much since I figured what it was for. : P

thank you so much!!!! Oh goodness, this is beautiful. I loooooooove what the textures do to the piece, and the detailing in the armor in particularly stunning! *W*

(( you drew tauroneo so well! wut! xD nobody ever even begins to draw him, much less MAKE HIM ACTUALLY LOOK GOOD. xD )) Jill's fantastic (forshortening, whooo!)), and WELL Zihark is of course stunning. : P (( you always draw him particularly good - remember the lethe/zihark picture ages ago near the beginning of RD? xD ))

thank youuuu forevers. ;w;

I am glad you like it! Though I was thinking to myself "That Krad has improved so phenomenally in colouring and composition and stuff that I should do something that shows some kind of improvement too!" but then uhm.. procrastination and ability and experimentation and life! lol But it still took a good chunk of time regardless and I tried to make it good soo nzbfhjvf.. xD

Yess.. manly men should look manly! I was kind of limited by paper space, otherwise Tauroneo would have been more burly! And yes! I remember those pics! Man.. so long ago.. yet it seems to recent. lol I have a preference for keeping pretty boys hot instead of making them look too girly. xD

(Also, do you have FE: Awakening? >__>
I am having a hard time picking and nothing really strikes my fancy. I was wondering who you'll pair the Avatar with and if a new swordsmaster as taken your heart yet lolol)

bwahaha, oh that dastardly real life - think of all the art we could manage to do if it weren't for THAT. >D Seriously though, the effort really does show here. :heart:

( I don't have it, actually - been debating whether dropping $150 is worth it on a single game. >.> Not too keen on the shipping and artwork in the game, though the gameplay and DLC and replayability is making me itch to try it. xD Probably won't pair up Avatar, though if I had a choice, it'd be lesbian mages galore with Mirel. :3 She's just flipping fantastic. ))

I know. Also needing of sleep gets in the way. Everything is in the way of art! LOL

(Hahah.. Yeah.. I bought a 3DSXL just for Fire Emblem, actually! Though I will be playing other things like Etrian Odyssey 4 wen that's out too.
The artwork definitely starts to grow on me i the game, so that's much better. Or maybe it's because I start liking the characters more that it gets more tolerable. xD
But if you don't pair up the avatar, you won't get to access his/her overpowered child! lol Ooh yeah, when I saw Miriel, I was like "this is like Krad's character Kradis--she'll probably like her!" lol)

Yes~~ A different piece of wood this time! xD Man, I wish I had more wood! LOL
Man, armor is always a little confusing to draw. Trying to foreshorten them and stuff is painful. XD
There would have been a lot more motion had I more space on my piece of paper, but I drew the figures too large and didn't want to erase them. Haha

Yeah~ Except I was impatient and hate smudging so.. I kind of used it like a pen, which leads to clean looking lines kind of? Plus I curved the heck out of it to get rid of light grey lines. XD
Yeah.. I was like "How to add glam without spending more hours? I have scanned in wood! I can use that! And this paper pattern! jackpot!
