This started off as being just another general Ramen piece of Hikaru-brand badassery (because she has so many fanboys and this amuses me greatly) and now I’m thinking this may replace her original FE Bromide which, compared to others, is a little bland. Especially considering FE Bromides are supposed to be a “blatant display of awesomeness in ultimate equipment.” We’ll see!

Also I think one of Deeum’s bromides needs to involve nomming on Peeps.

Speaking of OM NOM NOM… today is Wednesday. Wings Wednesday at Pizza Hut, specifically. You know where this is going. >:D
Though… Pizza Hut, while you’re at it, think you could make a day for discount P’zones, too? I know, there isn’t a day of the week that starts with P, which would throw off the theme you have going with Tuscani Tuesday and Wings Wednesday. Hm. Maybe Sundays? Let’s see… P’zone Sunday. It… sort of works! :P

…or do trees grow on ships?

I don’t usually draw mecha or air/spacecraft (even though I burned away WAY too many weekends assembling such things out of Lego bricks as a kid) but… I don’t know. I must have been browsing the /mecha/ board on Wakachan and next thing I know, Painter’s open.

This, of course, is Yggdrasil in mecha form. And by mecha, I mean spaceship. I figure a media server would translate best as a ship rather than a giant robot. You would think that because his avatar is based on Fusoya, I’d duct tape a giant freaking beard on his spaceship form… no. :P I do, however, figure that it’d involve a Lost Universe-like arrangement in which Yggdrasil’s avatar would be present on his ship as a hologram.

Avatar Yggdrasil’s power as being a megacaster would translate to spaceship form– twin laser cannons, as you can see, but like any self-respecting spaceship he’d have missiles– bonus points if they’re anime-grade missiles and can bend at 90-degree angles FOR NO REASON– and a supercannon hidden somewhere. (Indignation in laser form?!) And as for healing? Hm… I’d imagine he’d have external ports that Blastoise and Dinah could latch onto for speedy repair-and-reload stops.

Ah, it’ll be fun to color this. :O

Broooomiiiiiide. Specifically, Hikaru bromide #1. In context, it’s actually a “photo” that Commander Ezelton snapped minutes after Hikaru was given her Lord Knight rank (and Lord Knight armor changed a little bit between M.E. 2004 and 2006, so the tabard is a little different).

This is also the first time drawing a couple of Hikaru’s fellow soldier-doods– Valhalla (original player: pigeonguided) and Argus (OP: tehkev). Not seen but also among Hikaru’s bros-in-arms are Myconis (OP: aethereall) who is Valhalla’s twin brother, and Tarin (OP: LF). Oh yes. I totally went alt-diving for this. :P

It’s, like… if RT had Facebook, this bromide would totally get posted on there. XD One of those “dood, check it, our ‘sis’ just became a Lord Knight :D” things. Naturally, there is booze involved.

I’ma go get some cocoa crispies before the new episode of Law and Order SVU starts. Omnomnom.

Wondering if I should go for glory and just stay up until I finish…?
It wouldn’t take much longer to do the background/etc, I was painting pretty much all day (started after making that last post, actually), I stopped to screencap when Craig Ferguson started and because this seemed like an appropriate point to get a WIP shot before I do background/final touchups.
I wonder if I should stick a bleeding Crimson Cross on Lord Numair’s forehead? o_o;

…bah, I’ll do it tomorrow… er, later today. You get the idea.

also LOL @ mother, who saw this when she brought up dinner and thought Lord Numair was one of Robert’s WoW characters. XD; Bro doesn’t have any redheads, for one thing. He’s got a Death Knight (and Lord Numair’s Death Maximillian looks like something a Death Knight would wear) but dood is most definitely NOT a dragon.

“He looks dead.”
- “He IS dead. Dead and STILL has a deathwish!”
“Like… ‘put me out of my misery’ kind of dead?”
- “Yes! :D”

XD

I was just going to post the most recent WIP, but I figured I’d throw both of today’s, thus completing the line art.
I tried to keep the middle/wide shot as close as possible to the rear detail, but that didn’t quite work. (Simply shrinking the details, repositioning and finishing them wouldn’t have looked very good…) Just assume a few seconds pass between the two views to account for the slight differences in positioning.

Also yes, Lord Numair gets a new Maximillian, the “Death” spec that is formed when he’s bound with Lord of Death.
So, that bumps the count up to five:
- Ralse: “Dark Rose”
- Lord Numair: “Crimson” (Episode 0) and “Death” (Episode 2)
- Hikaru: “Azure”
…and then the one Lord of Death’s projection wears, which is the Maximillian in its base/inert form.

Coloring this new Maximillian is going to be fun~ :D
It’ll be all icky and bloody in the general color scheme, but it won’t actually BE bloody… oh, just wait until it’s done!
Of course, coloring Hikaru’s Maximillian is always a trip. Shiny blue metal, laa~ ♥

But, for now, I need a break.
