Thank you very much! It's kind of hard for me to stick with one style so I always try to do something different!

Thank you! （　´∀｀）☆ I really like the contrast between their personalities and bonus points on the fact that Inigo has the Mark of the Exalt in the opposite eye of Lucina's :> I tend to have a harder time drawing guys but hopefully I won't have too much trouble.

Finished \ ^q^ /

I decided to draw something not Fates related so I plan on drawing Lucina in a pretty dress because she's a princess and I plan to draw Inigo in snazzy Prince get up because I love them as siblings! also the idea of Inigo being a Prince makes me gush a little \ ^q^ /

Of course you can use them! Thank you for the kind comment :>

More details can be found here. I've decided to revise my old commission post to make it look a bit more organized and I fixed some of the prices too.

I feel like they should have done that instead because at least they're doing something different but being a bit less ambitious about it. Baby steps is basically what I'm trying to get at here.

They were definitely trying too hard with creating a complex story only to turn into a dribbling mess in the end. I'm not trying to excuse the shoddy writing, but I'll give them credit that they did acknowledge the fact that the story in Awakening was one of the weaker parts of the game and made an effort to step it up. I just think they set the bar a little too high especially since they're under the pressure of making another Fire Emblem game that surpasses Awakening; the game that saved the franchise in the first place. Yeah it sucks that the supposedly complex and interesting story had a bad execution especially since they promised that the story was going to be better than Awakening, but, sometimes developers just have to try again. I think they should start off by not setting the bar too high and raising people's expectations by saying 'oh look we got a manga artist to write the story' because when people have high expectations, they're a lot more critical. I used to write a lot myself and although I had many cool ideas, it was hard to lay them out cohesively into a solid story. That's what I'm seeing with the story. But, I don't let it bother me considering everything has its flaws and I just have to accept it. The story is no doubt the weakest part of these games, but I also think it's important to mention all the good things about the game as well. Why focus on the bad, when you can focus on the good too?

I don't blame him I mean I would probably have done the same hahaha bonus if I can get a piece of Inigo after

...That sounds pretty epic and badass to be honest. That might be a bit of an overkill but I'm a poor sucker for crossovers.

Not so much the series itself but I did find some of Kingdom Hearts spin-offs rather tiring... Don't get me wrong, I love the main games but I just found some of the spin-offs like Re-coded kind of redundant. Still a great series otherwise. In some ways I kind of want Mario Party to stop at some point or at least go back to the old formula before Mario Party 9 and 10 because I frankly find everyone riding in the same car and moving together, extremely boring.

I haven't played a lot of LOZ games but you're talking about Oracle of Seasons and Ages, right? Yeah, I noticed that they didn't try the different game thing again. Seems it only works for Pokemon hahaha. But yeah, I can't see them trying the same formula right after now that I think about it. I still find three games a bit overwhelming even now. I wonder how Fates would have been if it was just one game. Hm...Now that's something to think about.

I feel like they should have just kept their names as they were because I do agree that they don't really need to change their names if they're going to a different world that doesn't seem directly connected to the world of Awakening. But, I'll let the hair colour thing slide. Not to mention there was a looooooooot of backlash in the beginning with fans accusing the characters designers of being lazy by passing off three characters that look exactly like Inigo, Owain and Severa as completely new characters. Of course that isn't the case if you spoiled yourself in order to know that those three are in fact the children from Awakening. If I were to put into one sentence of the things I've seen from the story: I just feel like they were trying too hard that the story inevitably led to loop holes and contradictions. BUT, this is their first time trying to create three different games that are all connected in some way (I'm not counting the choice you can make in FE8 of going with Eirika or Ephraim) and although it didn't turn out the way a lot of people had hoped, I'll give them credit for giving this interesting concept a go. If it turns out that it didn't work out as well as they had hoped (which I'm sure a lot of you agree), then they might just go back to the old formula if they decide to make another game.

You'll inevitably run into people who are not as happy with something that you're a little more positive about, but don't waste your time brooding over how other people feel. It's their thoughts and feelings after all. Anyway, I'm excited to experience this DLC for myself and frustrate myself with keeping those three alive hahaha. I love the Awakening children so regardless of the underlying reason why they're the only three who are brought into Fates (popularity poll or what have you), I'll take it.

I definitely feel the same way but there's also nothing wrong with pointing out flaws especially if some of them boggles the mind haha. If the developers had enjoyment in making something, then it's never a waste of time and I'm glad that I got to see the content that they put out. I'm just happy to see them trying something new. At the end of the day, every experience you get from creating something is all part of your growth as a creator.

I would loooooooooove for them to make another Kid Icarus game because I loved Kid Icarus Uprising to death and I just hope it doesn't take them another 25 years for them to develop another game for it. I also want that new Rhythm Heaven game because I am a sucker for rhythm games. And because I have to add one odd-ball in there, I would love it if there was another Hatoful Boyfriend game because the first game and the sequel were pretty great imo. Even though Okami ended on a good note in Okamiden, I would love to see more.

I played Super Mario Deluxe on my sister's gameboy here and there, but I didn't really think much of video games during that time. In fact, I was one of those people who used to say, "What's so fun about sitting in front of a TV and pressing buttons on a controller?" But, after exposing myself to more video games and watching my sisters play Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, my views on video games started to change. It was one day at my cousin's house that I really became interested when I played Mario Party 7 for the first time. After that, I couldn't wait to go to my cousin's house to play Mario Party 7, Mario Kart Double Dash and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Yoshi continues to be my all time favourite video game character because I used him all the time when I first got into gaming.

Thank you for taking the time to write a summary of the DLC! Despite the inconsistencies and the like, I still found the summaries really enjoyable read and I actually liked what they tried to do in the DLC. :>

God damnit I really want to draw that

It usually helps to right click the image and choose 'copy image url' if that's how you're adding pictures.

Chibi Elise ;u;

Will make hanging character keychains maybe *u*

Well, I think it might have to do with the fact that they have a different art director since Awakening. Check out Iwata's Ask for Fire Emblem Awakening and you'll see what I mean. I'm all for trying something new or having someone new in charge but...the changes might be a tad too much in my opinion.

I felt like drawing siblings in kigurumis I'd be impressed if anyone gets the reference ;>
