I have held a set of four characters for the world of Lucids in the back of my mind for a long time but have not really developed at all or thought to do anything with them. I just did not devote much thought to them besides that they would be based on one of four powers: fire, water, lightning, and darkness. Then, I began to rekindle my interest in the Fire Emblem series and started thinking that I could base their designs somewhat off their original inspiration (which was, by the way, the different evolutions of the Pokemon Eevee) and combine that with the fantasy-world designs of Fire Emblem units.
I decided to work on the shadow girl first. The fire and water characters are probably not going to be super important, and the lightning one would be the leader, and I wanted to save her for when I start drawing villains for this series. The shadow girl, however, might be a bit more reluctant than her sisters, and there may be redemption for her yet.
Meet Tamaki, codenamed "The Shadow Soldier".
I attend a weekly Internet stream where I talk to people into certain cartoons and games while the streamer plays various videos and video games. The main event of this stream in recent months has been a playthrough of one of the Fire Emblem games that I have not played yet. Often times, silly discussions occur either between the viewers in the chat or between the streamer and her audience, including arguments over things that may or may not turn the tide of the chapter. During one stream, the host tried to defend her pairing of two particular characters who were both "Wyvern Lords", units that ride wyverns (mythological creatures that basically resemble smaller winged dragons) into battle, which soon led to an argument over how to properly pronounce the word "wyvern". It was a nice little diversion from a chapter that was taking way too long to finish.
Since that night, I have been meaning to draw a wyvern, and I finally received the chance last week.
Finally, I was able to draw out and post the second half of the "Glory Hog" comic I started last time. If you missed the first page, either look below or see it here. Will Dewott be able to claim victory over Watchog? Let us see...
