Description This turned out really colorful lmao......

This picture was actually finished back in July, so lineart is kinda old...and I was contemplating whether I should submit it at all (I just don't like the way the characters are layed out), but why not. XD Anniversary for this game's release happens to be tomorrow anyway soo this picture will be in dedication of such! : D

...I don't think I'll work on a group picture this large ever again for a LONG time. OTL I went back and forth between fixing the lineart and coloring too much...There are still alot of mistakes but. I'm donee. Haha. Next time I do a group picture, the layout will be better planned out and lineart will be fixed loads of times before coloring. XD;

I love the Greil Mercenaries : D

Aww, Rolf and Mist are my favorite. 8D Somehow they look a little more pastel and cute than the rest of the mercenaries, which totally reflects them. Titania's hair has some awesome color shades, too~

Thank you!! I actually like how Mist and Rolf turned out too (along with Rhys). I'm glad you like Titania's hair too

This looks great! I like all the color! I think they're all looking at the sky because it's snowing? That's what I first thought of.

According to Soren's expression, he doesn't like snow very much. XD He looks...evil.
Mist and Ike look nostalgic, like it's been a while since it last snowed peacefully.
Titania looks sort of annoyed. Maybe because Soren's grumpy expression bothers her. Shinon seems to be saying something about the weather. And the rest all look peaceful and happy (except for Rolf. Who looks like he's ready for battle)

Hmm snow? I didn't think of that XD I just wanted to add white shiny thingies in the background lol. Maybe I should draw a snowy day picture of some of the characters sometimes. Thanks for the idea XP
I'm glad you like it! Thank you!

Oh wow, this looks amazing. Your patience definitely paid off here - I'm guessing it took forever to do, but the result is gorgeous and really colorful ♥

The layout doesn't really bother me, but I've heard that drawing thumbnails of pictures helps you get the right composition down, so that's one thing you could try doing, maybe? ... actually, I should probably start doing that myself, but I'm usually too lazy. xD But either way, I'm happy that you did decide to submit it in the end!

Thanks!! It did take a good two months to complete (not all of two months, but just on and off. Still did take a while though). xD
I usually do do thumbnails/concept sketches, but not for this one. The idea of a group picture of all 11 characters just happened to sound exciting at the time (and by that time I had already sketched and linearted Ike, Titania, and Mist so I didn't feel like starting over and planning out things with another picture). =v=

OMG. MEMORIESSSSSSSSS <3
I got stuck in this game. AND I STILL AM. D:

Ike is so overpowered, it's not even funny. ;A;
And that's why I keep dying too. Because he instant kills anybody near him, which frees up spaces next to him--- so MORE PPL CAN COME UP TO HIM AND ATTACK HIM. AND THEN I DIE because the game becomes Ike vs. ENTIRE ARMY.

But enough ranting. This picture is so hardcore. *A*
I MEAN, LOOK AT ALL THOSE CHARACTERS.
HO CRAP. You must be very patient.
I would have died halfway through. Orz
Y U SO AWESOMEEEEEE?!

: O
Did you ever get to play the sequel Radiant Dawn? The story gets better and more complex (...and Ike is on steroids on the second game...his only weakness at that point is mages and that's it) xD
And aughhhhh I know what you mean. Oh poor Ike; yeah sometimes being too powerful can suck DX

And thanks!!! : D I think all of my patience is spent on this picture though lol! I won't be doing that again for some time :'l

Yuki-Chan2 In reply to Fennikusu [2011-10-24 02:32:43 +0000 UTC]

I never played Radiant Dawn.
But hmmm, maybe I should aim for it after the first game.
IF ONLY I WASN'T STUCK. SOBBBBBSSSSSSS.

I can't believe I overlooked that when I was editing this picture
I will make him unsmile later after I'm done with exams XD

Mikuel In reply to Fennikusu [2011-10-18 05:56:35 +0000 UTC]

Well this only leaves to think WHY he is smiling...
I think he has some plans of mass murdering in something...
Or then he is happy since he is most famous lord?

Fennikusu In reply to Mikuel [2011-10-18 16:20:24 +0000 UTC]

Well for the record, even though he's known as a "perpetual frowner", he does smile from time to time (especially when compared to people like Soren or Shinon anyway). XD Though I wasn't really thinking about his expression when I drew him
I would hope he wasn't planning a mass murder (can't think of why he would do that) O_o. And he's not one for royalty either lol

Mikuel In reply to Fennikusu [2011-10-19 06:43:21 +0000 UTC]

I know he isn't lord by bloodline, but he is ranking into LORD class as far I know

Uwaa, I love how you colour! ;_; It's so vivid and nice in this picture~ I can see how you're making each of the characters look in different directions, but just to be picky, the majority is still in a 3/4 view (I have the same problem though- I mean, how else can you draw faces? XD; )
The variety in general, though is good overall! I'm lovin' how all their expressions are different and none are suffering from sameface syndrome. The eyes, the noses, the face shapes and even their eyebrows differ, making them distinguishable from the other not just by color/hair/etc.
I love this so much ahhh and i haven't even played FE orz

lerminator [2011-10-17 03:28:59 +0000 UTC]

NO!!! This is all wrong!!! Ike should be RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE looking totally awesome!!! Not on the far right where it's the last place you look!!

Fennikusu In reply to lerminator [2011-10-17 03:44:43 +0000 UTC]

(I mentioned that I didn't like the way I layed out the characters for a reason lol)
I actually drew this starting from the right to left (not intending it to be a group picture from the beginning), so I got used to the idea of looking at the more important characters from the right to left. Only realized how wrong it looked when I was nearly done. D:

But I'm American! I read left to right! Putting it that way only makes it seem like everyone is in FRONT of of him, and that's not right!!!!

Blah. Next time when I do a group picture, it will definitely be planned out and not on the whim like this. XD
