Description Hoo, boy, it's been a while... again.

This time it's another commission, from the same person who commissioned the Ophelia and Nina drawing I did a while back.

I was asked to draw one of their favorite (I assume) character from FE Fates, Nina, as a bride. They probably had the FE Heroes' bride banner that happened some time ago in mind for this commission.

Took me around four/five days to complete the lineart.

I've been getting into the practice of drawing side profile faces for about a month or two. I really enjoy doing this type of portrait.

Outfit: The dress is of my own design, inspired a couple of things. I wanted to give the outfit more of a combat or battle sort of feel, so I added some armor here and there (the waists, and the archer armguard).
The outfit also has a couple of design choices from Fates' Nohrian classes (i.e. the feathered collar of the Maid, and the armguard to represent the Bow Knight).
The jewelry around the waist area is representing Nina's belt thing in her default outfit.
The veil is a combination of Nina's hairband and, well, a veil.
The lower part of the dress has my favorite part of it, the feather cloak. As for the legs, well, the guy wanted legs, so I obliged (I think it looks amazing ).

As for Nina herself, I don't know her canonical age, but I tried my best to make her look older (make her look more developed, longer hairstyle, etc.).
Lastly, I think my favorite part of the drawing is the face. As I said before, I started getting into drawing more side profile faces, and my practice is starting to show (hopefully). I love the expression, and the depth of the face thanks to a few lines here and there.

So, yeah, that's all. I hope anyone seeing this likes it, and let me know what you think and give feedback, I'm always appreciative of that.

P.S. - I am in the process of coloring this drawing, so expect that at some time.
