Yuji.
He is my entry for this month’s CDChallenge with the theme Samurai.
Based on the scenario given, (which was that the Samurai, was tasked with rescuing his/her daimyo’s love, the Geisha Sudo Magodo.) I wanted to make sure there was no possible way Sudo Magodo could fall in love with her rescuer on the way back to the palace (Didn’t want another Shrek situation). So I was trying to come up with possible ideas for that and figured that the best solution, due to the unlikelihood, would be a child. (Can’t speak for his best friend Fatu though, if he is of age.)
Yuji is a prodigy, and is the Kingdom’s last hope. He’s confident and has no doubts about his own skills, but due to his age is often overlooked. He takes advantage of this in battle but is often left out of certain activities (like drinking with his fellow Samurai) because of it. Despite being self-assured, and his fellow Samurai acknowledging his skill, and seeing him as an ally, he wants to be seen as an adult, instead of just the skilled child. He believes that by saving Sudo Magodo and therefore his Daimyo from committing Sepuku, he would finally be seen as man, and gain respect, instead of just acknowledgement.
I included some sketches of an alternate idea, that I explored just to make sure I didn’t get tunnel vision on a kid design, and therefore miss out on another possibly good design. So I figured, maybe the bonus illustration of the adult samurai could just be Yuji as an adult!
Here’s my version of Mark / the Tactician from FE7.
I know that the devs were just having fun and that there's no way Morgan from Awakening being Mark from FE7 is ever going to be canon, but it IS a fun idea to just play around with 😁
(Please notice my Easter Eggs.)
FE3H dump / Pushing my Hilda in Brigandine agenda.
I love drawing Hilda with a wild-ness to her hair, it’s mused from all the fighting. But in a fabulous way. She has accounted for it.
Was already re-designing Henrik a few months ago (To match the whole Leicester designs seem to have lots of cloth on them = Leicester has textiles = Would have Brigandine idea), but only found out about the change in plot/premise of Three Hopes when the demo came out so the other drawings still use his old-new design (the middle of the three variations) 😅

A rough variation of the “For Once in My Life” singer (the main character in this short storyboard I sketched up one night a few weeks ago). This was an experiment on a more boxy and square design, although I think I’ll go with the more round but more angular variation. Should post it when I’m done 😁

Here is my version of Regulus Black for this month’s CDChallenge.
He is definitely an amazing character, and Hero, that needs more attention.
Regulus goes to show that just because you’re Slytherin and a Black, the series’ usual antagonists, being a Slytherin or a Pureblood (not to mention being one of the most notoriously fanatical of the families) doesn’t make you evil.
Although he became a Death Eater, He later on actually realised that Voldy is batshit (Despite how he was brought up, He’s got morals!). He was the first to discover that Voldemort made Horcruxes, and even gave his life to destroy that part of Voldemort (He’s smart!) at only 18 years old. He was also kind to his house-elf, Kreacher (awesome).
I gave him shorter and neater hair than Sirius because since he’s practically the opposite of Sirius, I got the impression that he values and understands the responsibilities of being a member of House Black. Since Sirius left home, I’m sure he became the heir to House Black and that he would take that role seriously, even embracing it; especially since his brother set such a rebellious example that he would want to show that he is very different from his “irresponsible” older brother, that House Black would be in good hands with himself; that’s also why I wanted to emphasize his regal-ness and why I wanted to show him in non-hogwarts robes. But the snitch shapes cape/coat clip would be a nod to him being a seeker when he was a student.
Regulus is also a star in the Leo constellation (JK Rowling’s metaphors or whatever you call them are so awesome) so I gave his coat’s hood some fur to subtly reflect a Lion’s mane. The red shadow, is also a reference to his Bravery. You don’t need to be a Gryffindor to be brave, but just because you aren’t Gryffindor, doesn’t mean you can’t posses some of its qualities, like Bravery.
I made his wand white because brown would be the common wand colours, and I wanted to show that he was very different. But I chose white specifically because it gives the impression of goodness and I wanted to reflect that side of him. I kept his wand simple because I got the impression that Sirius was the more flashy and extroverted of the two, and although Regulus’ would be the one who is proud of his lineage, he would be the more quiet and subtle kind of person.
Hope you guys like my version of Regulus 😁
Just some random Ravenclaw for the 21st century.
I’m more of a fan of Hilda and Claude’s friendship but I also really like the ship? 😂 I just wanted to quickly design my take on Almyran clothing and paint them in yellow 😬😬 (and Claude smiling with his eyes 😁)
Henrik before the war, before the war p2, during the war
Henrik’s ending (Verdant Wind)
After the war, Henrik worked toward abolishing discrimination, prejudice, and setting the foundation for the full reformation of many oudated systems in a United Fodlan. Years later, after Khalid ascended the throne in Almyra, Henrik became a Diplomat and they improved relations between the two countries. Henrik dedicated his life to building a free society where all are welcome. Although he never married, his published books of love poems made it clear to everyone that he loved greatly and truly.
