Thank you very much!

It is! And I have!
If I didn't have so many FE:A projects planned, I'd be drawing fanart of FE14. Alas!
I'll wait until it comes out and see how into it I get. I'm already way more pumped than I expected, since I loved Awakening so much.

 

[bloomwaker]

It is done. On one layer (except for the BG color).

 

[Hyoshido]

While I'm not a super big fan of the Fire Emblem series, that artwork is beautiful all over.

 

[bloomwaker]

Thank you very much!

I feel like that coat is quite an undertaking, no matter what style I draw it in. Ayyyy.
I can't wait until I have to paint her armor. Yeeahhh boyyyyy.

 

[Hyoshido]

I'd love to see the results from that! I've been having trouble doing metalic shading for armor on pixels I've been working on so maybe seeing others do it (even if it's artwork and not pixelart) might help motivate me a little more.

 

[bloomwaker]

What sort of metal are you looking to shade?

One of the things that helps me is remembering that different materials have different ranges in terms of how much contrast they can have between the lightest and darkest value. This sort of thing is actually really important and can even outdo texture if done right (or not so right...I've made some very scary things..)

 

[Hyoshido]

Well I've not done much besides Metaknight, but his shoulder pads, boots, sword and his mask are meant to be "Metalic"

I feel like I'm lacking somewhere, that's my first time trying to do metalic shading on pixels.

 

[bloomwaker]

You can try adding another hue into it, maybe a tiny bit more contrast in the larger mask area.

I know this one's more saturated than what you're going for, but you can definitely vary the hue of things as well. That also helps them pop.

I use a lot of colors in my paintings that don't actually register as those colors, especially the greens. They're in the skin, the coat, her hair, and her shirt, to name a few.
