I always thought it was weird that KISS dress more extreme than their music

I like how they made a game about exploration and discovery and then seemingly dump half the game to the public.

I really do wish we got nothing beyond the initial trailer.

That'd be a pretty poor way to market the game. One trailer long before release then silence? Not a great way to maintain hype. Plus not everyone is or will be convinced to buy a game, let alone possibly a system to play the game, with just a single trailer.

With the amount of money Nintendo has likely sunk into this title (quite possibly the most ever for the company), plus the fact that it's their flagship title for the Switch, and the only killer app at launch, they need to promote the hell out of it.

Also fwiw there's no way we know even close to about "half the game".

 

[FalKoopa]

I'd prefer Yamada Kotaro (Lyn's artwork) or Hako (Felicia, Shanna) to do later games.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

It's obviously for the unit left there to keep him safe.

That's why Marcus has a support with him.

But then why Nino and Vaida? And why not a support with Oswin?

And if you're leaving Marcus behind to guard Merlinus, you're playing FE7 wrong.

 

[Champ Gold]

Masked Royal on the other hand, now that's a trustworthy guy.

True but while he seems honorable, something seems fishy.

Like he's up to something. Maybe his real identity is probably Guzma

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Apparently the person that did Niles and Subaki's art is a hentai artist?

yeah, and I find it funny they chose a hentai artist to draw Niles pff

But look at this gorgeous art!

I really need to find a better option for playing my GBA carts...right now I have either my sister's original unlit GBA or my GBA SP which has broken shoulder buttons and randomly shuts off. :/

I just think the guy should have a Hawlucha on his team.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Id like to see more art from Male Corrins artist as well

 

[praline]

Arthur got the short end of the stick, eh?

He's the only one with truly bad art.

You could get them on Wii U.

This is my favorite reaction to Takumi in FEH.

Why? Arthur looks fine. Unless you just don't like the artstyle which is understadable.

Chrom, Ursula and the Tikis have far worse art I feel.

 

[FalKoopa]

But look at this gorgeous art!

Au contraire, look at this adorable art.

Except it's the best.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

I've never understood why 16x in FE7 is a gaiden. What the heck happens in the story if you don't unlock it?

You could get them on Wii U.

The whole point is to play using the original carts that I already own.

If I didn't want to do that I'd just use an emulator.

It's styled like Codename Steam on purpose.

You take that back. His art is amazing and fits him To a T

No surprises to be had, but Heroes has whales.
And, of course, it's for hector.

It's pretty surreal to hear about this. But these people are real and often provide a large amount of the revenue for apps like this.

I've got a question for anyone that does flash

Is it possible to make something load randomly, so that every time you watch a video of it (Assuming you're watching through something that can read action script) it's slightly different?

This reminds me I really need to practice my art.

Maybe I should do that instead of playing Battlefield

 

[DarkAuraful]

Not gonna lie but FE Heroes is actually making me want to play a FE game.

Echoes can't come here soon enough.

I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it! I also do admit that Fire Emblem Echoes is the most exciting part. Updating the second oldest Japanese exclusive FE game and finally bringing it over is definitely a big move on Intelligent Systems.

I have a memorable affliction with KOEI and their hack and slash genre games so Fire Emblem Warriors is looking like something pretty good too.

Too bad Fire Emblem Heroes is probably going to be the last Fire Emblem game I'll ever play in the series though. I should try and enjoy it the most that I can with it.

Chrom looks like he never lifted in his life

You know what, I think I actually will draw.

@ManlySpirit mind if I asked what you think would be good fundamentals to start learning art with?

So they could have one of the greatest scenes in Scooby Doo History:

Yes this all is implied to actually happen, and not a trance like the bad guy states.

It's so over the top, but I love the Scooby Doo meets Kiss movie.

This is no doubt, amazing.

I always thought it was weird that KISS dress more extreme than their music

All bark but no bite

I mean, they are a 1970s band, their songs were considered more so extreme for the time. The same could be said for other 70s bands though which look more 'extreme' than their songs are perceived nowadays, such as Dead or Alive.

Chrom looks like he never lifted in his life

To be fair, Fredrick could probably throw him like a javelin.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Ever had someone go "I wish someone would do this" every day, and then you decide to do it, and that person gets angry

Like your mom saying how no one ever does the dishes, so you do the dishes, and somehow that gets her more pissed than if no one did the dishes

 

[Deleted member]

Fae and Raigh obviously have the best art, Yuji Himukai should to the artwork for future FE games, no question
And yeah, Chrom's art in Heroes is really ugly, the only one I find such

Chapter 16x is really weird
Like, if you don't get it, you lose out on the only Dark Magic user in the whole game not counting Athos(who only joins in the endgame).

@ManlySpirit mind if I asked what you think would be good fundamentals to start learning art with?

Perspective.

If you master perspective, you'll go places. If you can draw a cube in perspective, you can pretty much draw anything. All my constructions are from cubes. From there, anatomy, and lighting, and then composition. When you got those down, work on design and style.

Though it really depends on your personal goals. Like in my case, since I work with comics, rendering, painting, and colors are of less value to me. If you're wanting to learn animation, then no point in learning color theory, and rendering, etc...

Though, at the end of the day, all the fundies are worth picking up. My next comic will make heavy use of animation techniques for example, so over the course of this year, I'm gonna spend time studying sakuga.

When I come online tomorrow, I'll tag you in a post with some recommended books and stuff.

To be fair, I have the luxury of being able to do this for a living now, and I've been going into overdrive learning all sorts of techniques from the pros.

I probably draw between 8-12 hours a day on average, every single day (insert Saitama meme here). Today I drew for 14 hours actually. And that's the result of countless hours. They say it's 10,000 hours till mastery, and I still haven't hit that number yet. Though in a couple years' time, I'm excited to see where I'll be.

 

[Knight Dude]

I've been making decent progress in drawing too. No where near where I want to be, but I'm slowly taking the steps to be on a more professional level. I need to make sure I get more of a working habit to just draw more and more and more though.

 

[Aetheri]

Looking at the heroes art for my favourite characters...since people were talking about it...

Spoiler

Tharja-Looks good, I like the rendering style of this artwork though I find her face looks off to me, though perhaps I'm just being picky but perhaps she's a bit too 'cute' which I say loosely, perhaps it's just the style choice which leans towards larger eyes than the Awakening art which is more realistically proportioned eyes...I feel her pose is slightly out of character since it has her appear more as a seductress in a way when her personality at times tends towards more of a 'leave me be'...unless it's Robin of course

Cordelia-Not a fan...compared to her Awakening art this is pretty bleh...the pose is stiff and boring and her face looks very off...

Lon'qu-The only one I like better than the Awakening artwork...a more interesting pose as well as not having his back facing the viewer makes it seem more inviting, though he still maintains his disposition...The artstyle reminds me a little bit of a creature and character artist Andrew Hau (njoo), who has also worked with a cell-shaded look with added texture and gradients to give more interest to otherwise blank surfaces...an example of his work in this style

Compared to their Awakening art...

Spoiler

Her pose here has more of a, I don't want to say nervousness or shyness but she's not quite as open as her heroes art suggests...She comes across as more of an introverted character wanting to mostly keep to herself (and Robin) and doesn't really have that sort of 'look at me I'm sexy' attitude...

This is what you call a pose^^^ The flow and composition from her left leg and up to her hair makes a very nice 'S' curve that leads the eye upwards in addition to her lance and her right leg which gives added depth and perspective...

Even though his pose here is less inviting than his heroes art, it actually fits his character a fair bit...as well as the little butterfly which possibly symbolizes his more compassionate side...and somewhat delicate given his nervous disposition around women..

Wow...at first I was just going to say whether I liked them or not but I ended up giving some critiques instead...brings me back to when I was on an art forum writing parapraphs of crits and comments for other people's artwork...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I actually have to relearn drawing because I haven't drawn in a while.

I don't see myself making a career out of it, but nonetheless I would like to see myself have some form of mastery, or at least show I know what I'm doing.

8-12 hours a day seems pretty wild, but suppose if you want to improve you gotta dedicate a good chunk of time into it.

Still a bit Jealous, I could never be that good. Even with 22 year of me trying my butt off

but I bet it brings in good money

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It's only been 2 months since I've drawn, and yet it's like I forgot a lot of the stuff I knew.

Unlike Manly, I kind of base all of my drawings off circles. His way is probably better, lol.
