Description I was inspired by ~InnocentiaSanguinis 's fanfic (well, the prologue) [link]

I felt like drawing Eliwood and Ninian after reading it... And she told me why I wouldn't. So, here it is. My favourite size and all. Big enough to be detailed, not big enough to be too detailed.

Though this scene isn't a direct representation of the story's, it still holds elements of the scene. Like the flower, for which Eliwood went all the way to Ilya. On that trip he fell down a cliff and also got a little frostbite (for those that aren't familiar with the world of Fire Emblem 7, Ilya is a very cold, mountainuous land in the north of Elibe which houses the Pegasus Knights. Pherae, Eliwood's domain, in is the south) so I drew him with bandages on his hands.
I had originally planned on giving him bruises as well, but left it out. ^^'

This was extremely enjoyable to paint. But once again, Eliwood's head was causing me the usual troubles. Eliwood's hair and I don't get along very well. ._.'
But after severe editing really... I think it looks alright. I'm pleased with my mountaintop in the background... and I don't feel comfortable gving people purple skin. But painting the background first made it feel more natural.


I support Eliwood x Ninian. : D

Hahaha... I read the same fanfic too! I thought it was pretty good... and voted for it There were so many good ones too though... Was hard to choose.

AHEM.... Ninian needs some more curves... You blended the sun into the sky very well and your lighting is well-thought out. I support EliwoodxNinian too! :3

What's not to like about a Ninian with good curves. Yes, I'm a BIG pervert! (in my head i think) The same as you when Rath and Heath come in!

Okay it IS serious... but I really half-assed the shading... (Only Karla's was the one I didn't half-assed since... yeah you can tell the difference.)

Yup yup. FE-wise! I don't even WANT to begin non-FE-wise. xD

The shading looks good any time I see one of your deviations. >(
Don't you ever want to work with other materials? :0 It's not that I force you to change or anything, I'm just wondering.

Ahw, but it was a really good story. And I love Ninian and Eliwood.
I would love to read the rest of your story...
But my knowledge of German is pretty small.
I can understand the general stuff though, it's a lot like my own language. :3

Thank you. The colours were fun to work with.

Haha, than at least I am not the only one who's having troubles with Eli's head. XD
e-ve-ry drawing I make of him... and his hair bothers me. No matter what age he is.

It was my pleasure. : D
And don't worry about it, your English is pretty good. : )

Maybe... really maybe a friend of me want to translate the rest of the story. The chapters are not so long like the prologue, but I guess, it is not bad XD
You're living in Belgium, right? It's very near to Germany

Yes, his hairstyle is very strange, on the beginning I had trouble to draw him, so that he looks really as an Eliwood XD"

Thank you

Oh, that'd be truely wonderful. I don't mind long chapters, as long as they are well written, as is in this case.
Yep, I do. :3 And it's indeed not too far away. A friend of mine, who lives closer to the border than I do, sometimes went shopping in Germany. I think it was in Aken... but I can't remember precisily.
I've been to (I'm gonna write the German name for the city, as I currently have no idea what the correct English one is, just the Latin one. XD) KΓΆln and Xanten, respectively 2 and 6 years ago. First one for German class, second one for Latin. I am ashamed to admit it, but I forgot most of the grammar rules. ._.' Except one.

It looks good on him, though. x) About a year ago, I made a big FE themed drawing, but I had to abandon the project because of Mister Pherae's hair. |D;

It's been my pleasure~

Well, let's see, what the future brings... XD

My parents drive sometimes to Luxemburg to buy coffee and stuff
Last year I was in KΓΆln, but only for one day... But well, it wasn't very good XD"

Ah, you speaking about languages in school? I learned english in the 5th class, and I was one of the best... but in the 7th class I was the worst... and still I'm not longer good in english.

Woah, was it so bad? XD

Indeed. :3

Oh... You mean the Great Duke-something Luxemburg? Or the province of Luxemburg in South-Belgium? XD
Oh really? Despite the rain, I quite liked KΓΆln. They had a good Youth hostel. :3

Yes, I am. Since Belgium is a trilingual country, we are required to study all three of them. But in Flanders they are compulsary, I heard that in Wallonia you're not required to learn Flemish/Dutch.
Well, I find that you write it quite well. :3

Yeah... his hair and his face.
Perhaps I should just start it aaa...all over on a new sheet of paper. x)

Very good news: My friend want to translate it the another chapters, I spoke with her a few minutes ago about it

Γ„hhh... Luxemburg is "under" Belgium XD
Ah yes... I remember. I worked in a travel-office and so i know the hostels and so XD

Huh, very complex. Here in Germany we can learn french and english in 5-10th school. But that is, what I know
XD As so long anybody can understand me... XD

I guess I can draw him better now as on the beginning...
Well, do it?

Oh, well, I don't know the correct translation of that country. Just that it starts with Great-D...something.

It's the truth. ;3

I believe it is. x)
That's great. :3 Drawing what you truely want is the best thing.
