You talked of a role reversal between Edel and Wilhelm, but aren't they similar? They both want to conquer Fodlan.
Yes, they are similar, but also different.
As units first, Willy isn't a front line unit, I was wrong about the HK's utility, but actually, it's not a pure support unit, it's a combat unit.
Edel’s toolkit (using her base form and canon classes) is geared to make her a formidable unit (lol armor) who is supposed to be able to solo maps on her own. Aymr enables her to act again and to basically smash something dead on her own.
I joke a lot, but to be fair, I don’t know what Willy was like, as a unit.
I know one thing though, Holy Knights aren’t supposed to solo maps, and they’re not supposed to kill things on their own.
Edit :
lol that thing's old
Then we got Nopes, and I still think it's very telling how Willy is associated to his shield, in Nopes, when Supreme Leader, while she has a shield in her model, always ends up with new axes, first it's Aymra, then Labrunda (who doesn't even have backstory like Wilhelm's shield, but is just in a pile of weapons the Empire had in store in Enbarr). Shield + Holy Knight vs Axe + Armor unit -> they're kind of different, right?

Cringetober #3 - Unnecessarily complex fit! A bit late, but I still had fun with it! Too... Much fun seeing as, again, this was supposed to be simple but I ended up going totally ham on it. Oh well, helps pass the time while my brain is still scrambled eggs from being sick.
I don't have much to say aside than I LOVE Scene Misty's whole design. She's... Perhaps not exactly true scene, but has some essence of it with the rainbows and patterns and many decorations. (So sad you can't see the GIR keychain in this one </3) ...And it's what people have been calling this design, so I'll use that name too. I remember while designing her I was just thinking of things I myself think are cool to add, and stuff Misty would probably like wearing!
Also, another fun fact, when I was a kid and Ms Paint scene cats were all the rage - something I couldn't replicate yet - my main oc was a cat with a side-kick who lived on a tiny cloud that followed them, the cloud changing on their emotions! I now always have an association with clouds and that era, so... Misty here's an total delight to say the least :) Again, a very self-indulgent thing about something close and dear to my heart.

so often i'll get that sudden and wonderful urge to make comics and stories of my OCs that I can actually show people but then just as quickly that urge is dashed by various foolish reasons, and one of the most foolish of those reasons is i get. scared. about committing to stylistic choices in a webcomic or illustration
WHICH is foolish BECAUSE
you can just. change them
really gotta stop thinking about branding and shit. some people are good with that but it always just paralyzes me LOL especially because when i think about all the comics and fiction and all that i like you can see signs of stylistic choices and characterizations shifting from the original vision at the start to how it ended up because things EVOLVE that is a Normal Aspect of storytelling IT TRULY is a foolish thing to get scared by orz
