Edelgard

Hey everyone, took an extra day but it's finished!

Wanted to make sure the background had all the details I had in mind and there was also a lot of "tiny details" in several parts of the image that were important to make them right =)

My idea was to have Edelgard having a bit of "me" time before putting on her serious face to the public. I think it's fitting to the character that she would get ready by herself and not have people do it for her.

I also changed the underwear a bit to something more ... old fashioned, instead of modern day lingerie.

And I also did something a little different with her face. Tried to mix a bit more cleaner look of an anime face to my style.

Anyway, hope you guys like it!

Thank you, I appreciate that. I think it's a slow and steady process to gradually iterate and see small things you can do better here and there. Repetitions also helps to make the process go faster, so it's possible to pack in more quality in the same amount of time.

thank you, I'm glad it shows. I really loved the result of this one =)

Lee

thanks! It's nice that people appreciate them as well =D

Lee

thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

Lee

thank you! =D

Apparently, you really tried your best! Well done, I really do not see any errors in this art, it was done very professionally. And yes, by the way the idea with outdated underwear is also cool!

NakedAlice

Nice foot like always!

I really love her face expression, she looks like she really enjoys her time for herself before going back to business. And a very good choice to go for a more oldfashioned underwear, it suits her very well and gives it a feel that she would actually wear that. Great job, keep up the good work. I'm a patreon for about 18 months or so I think and you constantly improved over that time without losing your style and you impressed me in more than one instances, even with characters I wasn't that interested in the first place but you made them work for me!

Damn my friend you do gorgeous SO well!! 😍😍😍

Thanks! It was really fun to try to recreate what a "personal room" would look like based on the rest of the game. So I got a lot of references from both dressing tables and the game to make sure it would be something that fitted the story. And one of the initial things I did was her face. I'm still struggling in "porting" anime faces to my style, so they retain a bit of the original lines but not too much so that it looks off compared to the rest of the image. So it was the first thing I tried to "get right". The hair was also a bit of a challenge to make sure it retained her original hair style but also something in the process of getting done. I also spent quite some time doing the elements in the background, to make sure they matched the rest of the image, since they are not "things at the back" It was quite challenging, but I really liked the end result =)

Lee

Thanks! I had to do my research as well because I only knew Fire Emblem characters by name and what they looked like, but not who they actually were =D

Lee

thank you! =D

Lee

Thanks! I got a lot of references of "classic dressing tables" lol. I didn't want to make it overly complex, since ingame the furniture tends to be really "basic", but I also wanted it to be something a little fancier to match her status.

Lee

thanks! I thought it would be an interesting idea to make it "in the process" of going from loose to braided/tied =)

Lee

Thank you! =)

Fun fact, I hate and love doing white hair. it's a nightmare to do, but the result is usually very beautifull to look at lol

Lee

No familiarity with the character, but still such a beautifully made piece of artwork. :)

Simply beautiful.

This whole piece is so lush. I am digging the furniture as I have a bedroom set handed down from my grandmother of that era, and always liked the lines of it. The way you layered the light from the windows onto the walls, and the gradients on those are sweet. The underwear is so classy too, and the light on her skin. I really like the skin tones here, very warm and match the mood of the room.

I love this rendition of edie! I absolutely adore how you did her haaair :) and her outfit!!!

I'm not familiar with Edelgard, but it looks really good. Amazing detail.

Oh this is just beautiful! Love all of the background textures with the different kinds of wood for the mirror and desk, with different patterns and colours, as well as the metallics in the mirror frame, her little bottles of perfume and hair brush and of course her crown. The engravings, details, overlapping shapes and different metallic colours and textures all look great. The purple, velvety cushion she's sitting on too looks very nice, as do the dimples and ripples in the material and various light and dark tones. The overall colours and lighting for the background are also very appealing and warm, a lovely setting for Edelgard and it really helps her white hair pop! As for Edelgard herself, first looking at her reflection, I love the bright rim-lighting on her shoulders and arm, they're quite striking, accentuate her features very well and really make her stand out from the background colours. Her face looks terrific too with gorgeous features and I love her pale purple eyes. The hair from this angle is gorgeously detailed and intricate and the braided ponytail running down the centre of her chest, resting between the subtly shining material of her bra is very nice. Speaking of which, I love her bra in both angles, the material and colour are gorgeous, as are the patterns and all of the little details, my favourites being the clasps and folds on her back. Looking then at the full view of her, I really like the lighting with a soft, warm light brightening all of her back, with her left shoulder/arm, the left planes of her torso and her legs shrouded in a shadow that contrasts very well with her back. The subtle rendering and textures of the anatomy of her back, such as her shoulder blades, all look exquisite and I really like the deep crease in the centre of her lower back. Her legs too with the deep occlusion shadow where her thigh/calf bend and rest on her foot are great too, as are all of the little details on the sole of her foot, the creases in the skin and deep shadows where her toes bend. And of course her underwear and hair look marvellous too from this angle, I especially like the circular, swirling hair on the back of her head, with strands wrapping over it as they sweep around from the front of her head, I also love the little strands of hair that fall across her upper back too and wrap over the anatomy of her body. Really beautiful work with this piece, as intricately detailed as always with such warm and appealing colours and atmosphere 😻.

Her hair looks really good!
