It’s back!

Over the past year, I’ve been getting a lot of messages about the deletion of the Fire Emblem: IF / Fates  - Cosplay / Drawing Reference Pack. Today, I’d like to announce that the pack is back! The pack includes over 500+ MB of screenshots taken directly in-game. Screenshots include Front/Side/Back/Top/Down/Close-Up and a lot more! The pack includes 4600+ screenshots!

Thank you.

Thank you all for your messages, kind words and support. The past year has been quite busy for me, and I didn’t have as much time off as I would’ve liked. However, I’m trying to slowly get back into things and be more active. Know that I always read all the messages I get, and that they always put a smile on my face! <3

Please note:

Please read the ‘Please Read’ document included. No monetary gain or profit of any kind is made out of this. I love the Fire Emblem community, and this is my way of saying “thank you”. Thank you to the community for their unconditional love and support of the series. Fire Emblem is an amazing series, and it has even more amazing fanbase. This is the least I can do for all you Fire Emblem fans out there, the community is truly amazing. Thank you all so much for what you do

What about Echoes?

I am currently still playing through Echoes, but if anyone would like me to make a similar pack specifically for Echoes, please message me and I’ll take it into consideration.

And finally,

Thank you all once again so much for your ongoing love and support not only for me, but also for the amazing Fire Emblem community. You guys are all truly amazing! <3

I’d love to see your art and/or cosplays! If you made any, please let me know! I always love to see and reblog art and/or cosplays you all made! I hope this pack will be useful of you!

Please share this with everyone you know! The more people know about it, the better!

I’ve been getting a lot of asks lately about the brushes and textures I use in my work, so here’s a BIG FAT REFERENCE POST for those of you who were curious! Bear in mind that I’m really lazy and don’t know what half the settings do, so don’t be afraid to experiment to figure out what works best for you :>

BRUSHES

Pencil I use the pencil tool with SAI’s native paper texture both for sketching and for applying opaque color with no blending. Lower opacities give it the feel of different pencil hardnesses, while full opacity makes it more like a palette knife, laying down hard-edged, heavy color for detail work or eventual blending with other brushes. Ink Pen Mostly made this because I’m lazy and I didn’t want to have to keep turning my textures off/opacity up when I wanted to ink something (even though I don’t do it very often), or lay down flat colors. I find the line quality to be much more crisp than Photoshop, and you can manually adjust in-program stabilization to help smooth out hand wobbles. Round Brush The plain ol’ brush tool acts as sort of an in-between for me in terms of brush flow. It’s heavier than my usual workhorse brush, for faster color application and rough blending, but not as heavy as the pencil tool, which has no blending at all. I like to use the canvas texture on this brush to help break up the unnatural smoothness that usually accompanies digital brushes, but it works just fine without. Flat Brush A brush tool set to flat bristle (try saving this bitmap file to your elemap folder if your version of SAI doesn’t have it) is by far my favorite to paint with. I don’t use any textures with it because I think the shape of the brush provides enough of that by itself. I use it for everything from rough washes to more refined shaping and polish. It’s just GREAT.

Watercolor Best used for smooth blending, washes, gradients, and smoky atmospheric effects. Cloud Basically a grittier version of the watercolor tool, because too much smoothness weird me out. Good for clouds and fog, as the name suggests, or just less boring gradient fills.

TEXTURE OVERLAY

To further stave off the artificially smooth look of digital painting, I almost always overlay some sort of paper texture, and it’s almost always this one, which I scanned and edited myself. You’re all welcome to use it, no permission required!

Using overlays in SAI is just as easy as using them in Photoshop. Just paste the texture into its own layer above everything you want it to apply to, and change the layer mode to Overlay. That’s it!

Want a more prominent texture? Up the contrast. Something more subtle? Lower the contrast or reduce the layer opacity. You can also use a tinted overlay to adjust the overall palette and bring a little more color unity to an otherwise disparate piece! Just be aware that too much texture can hurt the readability of the work beneath it, so I’d err on the side of subtlety.

Hope that helps!

I decided to redo my bday drawing for Severa... I still like the other one, but it ended up not having the feel I originally wanted lol. This one is a lot closer to what I was imagining.

It is not the prettiest but here is a little chart I made of skin tones.

The idea is to eye-drop anywhere on the chart to get a unique skin tone instead of getting stuck in the loop of “white, tan, dark”.

don’t let the gender binary determine how you draw people.
