(Instant Ramen Sketchbook) FE Bromide 2.0 “Shining Azure”

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Shiny armor is shiny!
Remake of Hikaru’s original FE Bromide. Numair’s probably getting a remake, too, but I’ve not yet decided on how that’ll look.

Also, I’m going to preemptively address a particular detail– that is Excalibur that Hikaru’s about to draw out. Not a…
Gah.
Maybe I should have just given her Omega Crescent, I forgot how Excalibur has a handle that has unintentional phallic optics if you can’t see the rest of the sword. (Of course, I remember a “WTF OUT OF LEFT FIELD” moment in Level 2 Drawing back at Chaffey in which my otherwise-awesome professor pulled some crazy interpretation about Excalibur and now I can’t unsee it and ohgod why am I going there?!)

I’m going to sit over there now.

(Instant Ramen Sketchbook) Blackened Blades

No WIPs this time, just BOOM, arts.

So I said last post I’d be sketching Blastoise’s mecha body, right? Turns out I fail at drawing mecha, so I’ll, uh, put that aside for now. Have some RT!Kestine in shiny Dark Paladin armor… which may have entailed more Grand Theft FF4. (Specifically, I looted the shoulder plates and boots from Dark Knight!Cecil.) The detail was nowhere NEAR as much a pain in the ass as, say, Aries’ FE Bromide (which, as you know, is also Grand Theft FF4, sup Golbez armor) but then again this isn’t exactly ultimate-grade stuff.

For being a Dark Paladin, Kestine doesn’t have much in terms of plate armor… then again, he’s also a freaking Black Dragon. Sure, he COULD be plated to the teeth, but why bother when, should he get tossed around, he could just heal it all back anyway? Mmm, regen.

I need to scribble his Stem Gunner gear, since that’s what he wears in Episode 0’s main story. Stem Gunners get a mass-produced, simplified version of the Sneaking Suit. Also a hat. (Somewhere, Defeen’s ears perk up…)

You know, I could have totally pulled the whole “gender correctness” and added (and Sis) in the title, but… screw it. When she’s off duty, Hikaru wears guy clothes ANYWAY. I mean, she freaking wears BOXERS.

(Instant Ramen Sketchbook) FE Bromide: Stay Classy, Glast Heim

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

This FE Bromide is proof that fan service will make ANYTHING look appealing, even freaking Glast Heim.

I WAS going to lie through my teeth and say that the rear flap of the loincloth is really short and thus you cannot see it… except it really WAS that short in RO (I think it barely covered the wearer’s butt). Nonetheless I could go fix that but I think I’ll just leave it as is for the Episode 0 version and make a note to make it longer for the Episode 1+2 upgrade of Hecate’s gear.
