The coloring of this feels like watercolors, it's really nice. I love that there are so many different colors in her shirt

It's a lovely picture composition-wise, although I do belong to the Kent/Lyn camp myself. After all, Lyn's true love is her home country. I love Hector's face here though... it's like he's caught in a rare moment of tenderness, really sweet.

Well, the part about Lyn's true love being her country I definitely agree with, but that's why I feel that RathxLyn makes the most sense to me out of all of her pairings. XD

Hector: That crazy golddigger?! *shudder, makes out with Lyn*
NUUUuuUU!!!

Maybe it would've been better if you had made lyn's eyelashes and such a little bit darker XD, other than that this is really pretty though.

Well...it's no secret, but I'm not too fond of these two as a pairing either. I want to say that it's kinda ugh, but in my heart of hearts, I grudgingly acknowledge all the (positive) stuff that everyone else always says about them. Except the "perfect fit" part. I know I mentioned this to you before, but seein' these two blow up at each other doesn't convince me of their pairing's validity, regardless of what anyone else says; I'm a bit presumptuous like that, but it doesn't coincide with my vision of a lasting relationship. Passion? Sure. Affection? You betcha. But you need more than that to make love work.
Alright, sermonizing over. 
Nothin' like pairing the two hotheads together...
Generally, though, I have a definite aversion to hotheads of any shape or flavor, so I'm not necessarily fond of either Hector or Lyn as individuals, let alone a pair. I end up rooting for Kent/Lyn just because it's the underdog and a good bit less boring than Fiora/Kent.

Oh? Well, I'd have to disagree with you. Personally, they remind me of an old married couple when they argue. I can easily imagine them acting the exact same way towards each other when they're 80 - and enjoying it thoroughly. (Provided they lived that long, which neither of them did.) They don't "blow up at each other all the time" - they banter more than anything else, and it's pretty clear to me that most of the time, they both enjoy it (the one major tiff they did have in the game was brought on by the negative atmosphere of the Dread Isle). As far as I can see, they each show a greater degree of comfortableness with each other than they do with anyone else, and in Hector's mode, they get to know one another on a more intimate level than do any of the other characters. Which is why I like this pairing so much.
Just because a couple to hit it off wonderfully on their first few initial conversations doesn't mean much and has little to do with how well they'd be able to live with one another - in your own words, you do need more than that to make love work, or whatever. Knowing each other well and being able to love and accept the other person for everything they are - even their worst aspects, which I certainly don't see Lyn showing around any other of her potential mates - means a great deal in how a two people would be able to work things out.

Points well taken - all of them. A lot of what you say is more in keeping with their true personalities than my points, which were colored largely by my personal prejudices. As I said in the original comment, I always did accept, on some level, the positive things most people had to say about them, because I did kind of see all the points you brought up on my own...but then, I've never seen anyone present them the way you have. I would still like to believe the other pairings could've had similar depth, or at least more depth (than they ended up having), if time and consideration had been given to them. In the past, I was always inclined to believe that the level of attention Hector/Lyn received was at least partly due to designer favor.
That's not saying I found their interactions unnatural, mind you. On the contrary. I'd have to agree with you that their dichotomy felt very natural throughout the game, and I wholeheartedly agree that Lyn's other pairs don't match that. The support conversations and relationship dichotomies for Hector's alternatives were very disappointing, even to the point of feeling outright forced. (Especially Eliwood, who's probably my favorite character in that game. His A Support has him calling Lyn his "good friend" and next thing you know they're married? The heck? But that said, their ending CG was perhaps my favorite. XD) - I'd still like to believe those other pairs had potential, though, and that said potential simply wasn't explored. Frankly, I think that's at least partly because story canon had other plans for Lyn's guys (with the obvious exception of Rath), which means those pairs were really just afterthoughts when you get down to it, and thrown in for the player's sake.
I will also admit that 80% of my budding Kent/Lyn fandom comes from some exquisite fanarts I found.
But then, that pairing choice applies to my personal creative universe. When we're talking the canon universe, there's no contest. All your points match up, and they win, period. And I'm not just saying that. Like I said above, you made the case better than any Hector/Lyn fan before you, who mainly defended the pairing by saying "THEY'RE JUST SO PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER," or thereabouts. Wasn't a particularly convincing argument. Yours was.
Hope it doesn't come off as patronizing, but...seriously, thank you. I liked that.

I'm in love with the way you draw Hector! I really hope to see more of him from you!

Ha ha, you did! Now I'm thinking I need to draw him more often. Der her her.

You know me, I like the silent types--still, great technical work! My only crit is that Lyn's expression makes her look a bit like a robot.
(Lyn: HECTOR IDENTIFIED. COMMENCE ROMANTIC GAZING. ROMANTIC GAZING COMPLETE. INITIATE WILD SEX SEQUENCE.)

I actually like all of Lyn's pairings, and LynxRath comes in a close second to this one. I just happen to like Hector a bit more than Rath, and his interactions with Lyn more than hers with Rath. Though, of course, the Rath's understated affection for Lyn whether you support them or not does warm ye little cockles of my girly heart.
Yeah, Lyn's expression gave me some trouble. In the original lineart her eyes are much more filled with dramatic and adoring LOVE, but looking at it made me feel uncomfortable because it felt sort of out of character. I probably neutralized it too much, though although hey there is nothing wrong with the initiation of wild sex sequences, robotic or not

Oh, have I also mentioned that you are awesome cause you used the word KEEN? Cause that is one of the best adjectives EVAR.

I completely agree! It practically wallows in its own keenness.

What is this? Sacrilege! Florina x Lyn is a must!
Hector and Rath just PhAiL. All and each of you are insane.
Taking that aside, splendid colouring! It looks liek awesome D:

I just don't really like Florina in general, though out of all her...like, two pairings, I guess herxLyn is the one I like better?

Shoulda drawn a mistletoe to get into the holidays ;D

I like RathxLyn next to this one. I like most of Lyn's pairings. HectorxLyn is my absolute favorite FE pairing ever, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Haha, this couple is less supported than RathxLyn I think, but personally I like this one more.. or maybe HectorxFlorina hard choice...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I don't find that many people who like HectorxLyn a whole lot. I do think RathxLyn and HectorxFlorina are probably the "canon" couples, though (I reeeally don't like HectorxFlorina, however). XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nothing is truly canon. And Florina just isn't the right one for Hector. (Which is why I see Hector x Florina as a crack pairing.) I don't see how a small, kinda weak, extremely shy and timid, potential homosexual could go together with a big and strong man who is a bit dumb (excuse me for saying so), always forward, and has a sense of humor.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, that's true, but I still believe that Intelligent Systems seemed to set up a lot of the characters to at least hint at certain characters. Besides, if Hector ends up with Florina (or Farina, though I prefer to pair her with Kent), that leaves Lyn free to go with Rath and have Sue, which seems to create the most complete scenario in my book. (Plus, given all of Lyn's other endings aside from the one with Eliwood, returning to the plans just seems way more in character for her.)
I also disagree with the whole assumption that Florina could be romantically in love with Lyn and Lyn only. From what I could tell in the game, her attachment to Lyn seemed more platonic than anything else. (I mean, jeez, people DO have strong platonic friendships sometimes. Just because you say you love a friend very dearly, it doesn't necessarily have to mean you love them in a romantic or sexual way.) I don't mean it's not possible, but I don't think it should be just taken for granted or touted as THE CANON pairing for Lyn or Florina, either. Soren and Ike? Raven and Lucius? Sure. But those are actually supported by in-game evidence.
I also don't think that Florina's potential homosexuality has anything to do with the possiblity of her being paired with Hector. Who isn't stupid, by the way. He might come across that way, due to being rash and hot-temperedm but he's actually one of the sharpest, most perceptive, and most thoughtful characters in the entire game.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True. But, when I called Florina a potential homosexual, I believe I was referring to her comfort around women, and her fear of men. Not that both makes her one, but I'm just saying. Also from what someone I spoke with said, neither Florina (with her complete and total shyness) nor Farina (with her money pinching) are right for Hector. (at least in the opinion of the person I spoke with) And with the way this person sees it, it's Hector trying to get closer, but neither of the pegasus sisters take the hint nor make the same move. The way she sees it, Hector needs a really good friend who knows him well, knows how he reacts to certain things, and actually cares about him. (I practically explained how Eliwood is like the person I spoke with did, but since we're talking Hector's possible wives, I think neither of the pegasus sisters fit the bill.) Lyn, as far that's shown, she seemingly doesn't take the hint either (as evidenced by her A support with Hector, and the conversation they have in Ostia, even though he literally does say 'I love you' in front of her face.), she seems to fit the description the closest.
But when it all comes down to it, even though no pairings are canon (except for Louise x Pent and Bartre x Karla) it's basically asking yourself "is a certain character right for another?".
And I feel that some pairings don't make sense, especially given with all of the storyline interactions. (HxL, is not one of them.)

On a random note, I would like to hazard a guess that the RebbeccaxDart support is canon, as well as the NinoxJaffar (I think Jaffar is a pedo)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rebecca X Dart is incestous though. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, cause that A support is grade A sibling love. And why wouldn't you say Jaffar is a pedo? If he isn't then either Nino's into older guys or she's actually secretly a very kinky person >>
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Saying Rebecca X Dart is canon is pretty much saying Walt is an inbred. (Which isn't likely in my book, plus Rebecca X Dart doesn't result in an ending.) And I wouldn't say that about Nino either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, we don't know what she's like when she gets older, just that she has twins. And in my book, Dart and Rebecca are siblings. Do a google search for Fe7 supports. The first link will send you to a page with all the supports. Scroll to Dart (it's alphabetical) and click Rebecca's name on the right column. Read the support and tell me what you think.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know what you mean since I've played through the game a bunch of times to unlock every support, but the fact Dart and Rebecca being siblings is one of the reasons (heck, maybe even the main reason) why it isn't likely to be canon in my book.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*shrug* Well, apparently Wil seems to recognize Dart as Dan as well. So I'm willing to bet it's Canon
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wouldn't say that neither of the pegasus sisters "takes the hint" about Hector trying to get closer to them - after all, all of Florina's supports are basically about her trying to overcome her fear in order to talk to him - sounds like a crush if you ask me! Anyway, Florina's shyness makes her out to be more of a complement to Hector than anything else, and her timidity and emotional fragility pushes him to try and soften his harshness towards her by the time they reach their third support (and when they speak at the end of the game, if the tactician isn't present).
Lyn takes the hint too, though! In her own way, that is. You have to support them in Hector's mode and get them to speak with one another on the very last level, but she expresses herself pretty fully in the short conversation they have.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But HxF seems more like a friendship growing if you ask me. And if she did have a crush, I feel it's more likely to be idolizing, rather than an "I want to date him" type of crush.
As for part 2, MAN my memory's getting a little foggy. (And this is what happens when my game dies on me.)

And I'm the only one of my friends who likes them as a pairing. Which is sad, because they fit so perfectly together.
