Description
Whoa, haitus. But I'm back in action! (hopefully).About this drawing: Done in pen on lined paper, then got it's picture taken with my crappy webcam, then re-glued together and touched up (a lot) in photoshop.
The Phoenix legend likely comes from crows, who apparently like to stand near small forest fires and fluff their feathers. When they leave, it looks like they're flying from it.
Though, that has nothing much to do with this picture. This is actually younger Stefan. He interests me because he represents what the branded eventually go through (read: a lot of angst not that I don't enjoy it) and becomes cynical and jaded as a result. He's like the "this is what would have happened!" character. And that's cool. Being hot doesn't hurt either.

Wow, cool! I like this one a lot (surprise, surprise). Great shading. But please, will someone explain the significance of this portrait to a Fire Emblem n00b?

Ooh, I love this! Unfortunately I'm way too tired to explain exactly why... but the fact that it's Stefan plays a role in it. <3<3 And the black&white. and the shading. And pretty much everything else~ [sorry, I'm not coherent at the moment, but I just wanted to say (did I mention this already?] I LOVE THIS. kthx.]

This is very terribly pretty, and I love all the crows. Crows are so fun to draw and gaze at and draw some more. I loves how you drew them.

Ohgodddd at the comments above me ;w;. hahaβ₯
I likkee this one, with the colours and his expression, it's all grizzly and atmospheric like. Even with the very white background, none of that space seems wasted or anything, it's all thought provoking and makes you wanna stare at it. Really beautiful composition~
I like your birds too; you can never have too many birds<3

Lol sheeeps. They were said out of love! But I'm sure you know that xDDD
I guess I'll just have to wait until a hundred people are like "STOP PUTTING BIRDS IN EVERY SINGLE DRAWING!" until I stop huh? Sounds like a plan to me... and thank you dear <3

Ohyou β₯.
Glad to see you posting againn; I really like this one.
I dig those grey shades and birdies; you're so good at drawing guys? TEACH ME. I can only deal with the feminine type :1

Yes me
I missed your comments, lol. And thank you, I'm glad to have your expert apprication.
This is the point where I make the quip, "LOL LIKE SHEEPI" but srsly you hardly suck. You did a great job with Garret. When drawing MANRY MEN I mostly focus on the nose and jaw (and proper proportional changes). Maybe you just need more practice? I propose an art trade!

Like seriously, if Sheeps wasnt half-a-girl I'd be fcked haha. So sad lawl β₯

Serain In reply to Antilamonn [2009-07-26 04:59:00 +0000 UTC]
xDDD I would hate for him to see this convo! Sheeps is like so sweet. I would jump at the chance for some fun timez with him.... he's so cute and pretty!
Art trade :> Uhmmmm I dunno. I only have two OCs loll. But lucky for you, they're both male! I suppose to draw one of them in a sneaky AU (fantasy, feudal japan, space age cyborg?!).
What about you? What shall I do?

Lol IT SEEMS HE WASN'T. *points up*
Okay! You already know what Garret looks like BUT I have to do a new ref sheet for my other character. The old one is too outdated. It'll be done in a day, hopefully.

There is a lot of lacking art for several Fire Emblem characters, if I could draw, I would fix this. Sadly, can't and don't want to blind people in a failing attempt of a so-called "try." ;
Stefan works are also rare, and I mean rare. It's nice to see something of him. :3 And I wanted to leave a comment this time without faving and running. XP;

Man, I know what you mean. I like this one fe6 pairing, and there are literally... 2 drawings of them. And both of them I drew. LOL FAIL
Thanks dude.

I sometimes wonder how masculine this name appears to people. XD; I'm a girl. [taken in good humor, fyi]
Oh jeez, yeah, I've seen that too. Ask Ephraim/L'Arachel on FF.net. Though LJ might be another subject. Only one story for the pairing there and it's from 2008.

Thank you xD And you are correct, but he is a bit of an obscure character.

It is kinda sad what happened to him though =[
