Could be Mitama

Alem has it this time. It’s been a fair bit, I did end up pretty busy over Easter and also had to work on mini personal art piece before working on public things again. Still I do have an aim to try and complete at least all the playable cast and hopefully major NPCs/Bosses done by the end of June in time for Fate’s 10th anniversary. We’ll see if I can keep that pace and quality though.
The next character will be a Nohrian Male.
I’ve updated the main post with the below entry under F2E - Fire Emblem (FE Fates Saga - FE 14 - Selkie)
FE 14 Fates - Selkie
Selkie the 2nd Kitsune. Selkie is definitely harder to colour than Kaden. She is a lot more colourful than her father. Besides the white for her ear fur and collar and her skin tones, every other thing is only 2 tones (Hair (although I utilise skin tones), jacket and headpiece tassel). So unfortunately she would be a lot harder to recolour for different colour haired parents. I’m definitely feeling a little rustier with the hair shading, but I think overall it turned out alright. If I were to revisit, I’d probably have another shot at the hair shading and the headpiece tassel.

I’m thinking Ignatius next.
Nope not Ignatius this time. This is the first Royal child. Looking over who is left to do, there are a lot more Nohrians to catch up on. You know what I’d like to see in Fire Emblem’s cross over titles is a case where characters that share names run into each other or accuse each other of being an imposter (eg Selena and Selena, Arthur and Arthur, Ignatius and Ignatius (unlikely), etc etc.). That is something I feel is missed in crossovers sometimes is the fun interactions between characters that would otherwise never interact at all.
The next character will also be a Nohrian Male.
I’ve updated the main post with the below entry under F2E - Fire Emblem (FE Fates Saga - FE 14 - Forrest)
FE 14 Fates - Forrest
After Elise, Mariabelle and Roseanne (an OC). I figured it’d be a while before I need to do hair drills/Ojou ringlets. I forgot Forrest has those. Although I think these ones probably turned out the best version of that hairstyle I’ve done so far. I didn’t quite get the face shape as round as I would of liked, but I think Forrest is conveyed well enough that it looks fine. I’m pretty happy that I managed to fit the beret and the hairstyle well. The thing I liked the least is probably the gloved hand, which is why I have an alt without it. Otherwise I think if I were to revisit, I’d probably play with the pink shades again and see if I can balance them out better maybe.

LET’S FUCKING GOOOO! One of my favorite Fates child units. I’ve always loved Forrest’s design

You know looking at his cipher art, Ignatius looks a lot cooler and reminds me a lot of Siegfried from Soul Calibur. I think this is the last Kozaki armour knight in the list to do. That said the Fates armour designs weren’t as hard to draw into the GBA hackboxes as the Awakening ones were. The only hard one to be honest was Benny’s and thats more due to his pose. Still I think of future portraits to do, I think Sumeragi is probably going to be the hardest one to work out.
The next character is going to be a Nohrian Female.

FE 14 Fates - Ignatius
The last playable armour knight for Fates. I think out of the trio (Effie, Benny and Ignatius) I drew Ignatius’ armour the best. So I’m pretty happy with that. Unfortunately he does use a lot of colours like his father, so his hair is also two toned and using some skin tone like his father as well. Otherwise I don’t really have much else to say about Ignatius. His eyes and face were a bit tougher to draw, but I’m pretty content with how it turned out.

So yesterday when I was working on Ignatius I was starting to feel ill. Turns out I caught COVID, so self quarantine it is. I didn’t have much else to do besides rest, eat and sleep so I managed to complete Velouria with my time. I’ll be pacing myself still however and focusing on getting better.
With Velouria complete, that is 11 Fates gen 2 characters completed. Now we’re over halfway.
The next character is going to be a Hoshidan Female.

FE 14 Fates - Velouria
I found both wolfkins easier to draw than the Kitsunes. I think their poses and colour choices just made them easier overall. Keaton even had 3 shades left to play with, which I used for Velouria’s red hood and eyes. I think if I were to revisit this one I’d maybe re do her shoulders to make them a bit broader. They seem a bit small compared to her hood. I did like how her hair turned out, using shading techniques for grey/silver hair that I figured out working on Dwyer.

I immediately wnat to use her hood and possibly hair on something.
Thanks all for the well wishes, I’m also keen on getting better. With not much else to do today I have also completed Midori. The little weed apothecary. You know the dynamic between cousins (Midori and Asugi) could make for a funny druggie duo. You’d never suspect Midori going out gathering and growing herbs and then Asugi can turn them into sweets and act as a runner/deliverer.
The next character is a Hoshidan Male

FE 14 Fates - Midori
For a character with a simple design, she adds her own challenges, especially with the large colour palette she requires. (Hair, skin, eyes, purple straps, brown over vest, beige/cream top, white under top, dark brown/black backpack, gold metallic pieces, etc). I largely used Kaze’s colour palette for her and just replaced the black with white essentially and then had to get creative with the rest. Honestly her hair was probably the hardest to try and translate to GBA proportions out of everything and would be the thing I would work on if I were to revisit this one.

So I’ve hit the character limit again in my first post, so I’ll ask a mod again to help with re arranging my posts to have a Fates only post now.
You know, I don’t know if Shigure and the Kana’s more count as Vallite kids instead of either Hoshido/Nohr, although Shigure’s class and end card in Heirs of Fates seems to more imply Hoshido.
The next character is going to be another Hoshidan Male
I’ve updated the Fates post (TBC) with the below entry under F2E - Fire Emblem (FE Fates Saga - FE 14 - Shigure)
FE 14 Fates - Shigure
The last Sky Knight/Pegasus rider for Fates. I do like Shigure’s design, he has a nice colour scheme he inherited from his mother. It does require a lot of palette tones, but I think I can fit everything into a nice GBA palette. Like Subaki, I think the weakest part of his costume for me was his rope tassel thing across his chest so I have done an alt without it. I think Hinoka’s tassel rope and my Ryoma full body ones were the best ones I’ve done, although they’re both not visible in regular portraits as much (Hinoka’s because its covered by her scarf). Otherwise I think the hardest thing was working on Shigure’s hair. I’m still not quite 100% on his hair shape, but this was the closest I was happy with. I did have to shrink his head 4 times before settling for this size, however I reckon I could of maybe shrunk it maybe one time (1 pixel row off the top and 1 off the side), but its at least not bigger than Cormag’s head.

Ok so my main posts have been sorted out again. Fates now has its own post, which is where the rest of the Fates portraits will be placed. I’m also starting to feel better, so hopefully I can get out of quarantine in a couple of days when I’m no longer viral. I’ve just been passing the time drawing and watching youtube (mainly been watching lets plays of Jet Force Gemini (been feeling nostalgic) and Danganronpa (Game Grump’s)), which while potentially limitless, does make me yearn to be doing other things. So here is another royal kid. Not many gen 2 left now.
The next character is going to be Nohrian Female.
I’ve updated the Fates post with the below entry under F2E - Fire Emblem (FE Fates Saga - FE 14 - Kiragi)
FE 14 Fates - Kiragi
Kiragi I think has the simplest design of the Royal kids, although Shiro isn’t that far behind. The Hoshidan kids in general I feel are less complex design wise with maybe one exception. Although they all are in general more colourful than Nohr (except for Arthur and Percy) so you do need to be creative with the colour palettes. Another fun thing I noticed was Kiragi’s clothing colours are the inverse of his dad’s, so I just took Takumi’s palette, although I did change the main grey for his hair to be a bit more pale grey. Otherwise I don’t really have much to say about Kiragi, except for If I were to revisit, I’d maybe try and shrink his head overall maybe another pixel, but it is already like 3-4 pixels smaller than the one I used as a base reference (Narcian).
