AAAAH Suikoden remaster finally arrived!!!

It's so nice to see my old favs again 🥰

(Konami abandoned the IP for DECADES 😭)

Everyday mood 😭

This counts as vent art.

Pottery business in Hyrule is booming as usual

It's revolutionary girl Zelda!

Sketch was inspired by the amazing design of TP Zelda by @ovegakart in this comic: link

I had the BIGGEST crush on TP Zelda back when the game came out... seeing Zelda in those pants had me blacked out,,,

Midna completely missed out by smashing that mirror 😭

Live reaction to the midriff+riding pants combo:

Realized that one of my fav panels is a little small, so I've enlarged it!

I just love drama queen Ganondorf after getting scratched by an angry hobbit with no abs (It's not even the Master Sword you'll be okay bby)

Was this how Ganon felt

When he flurry rushed your flurry rush

But you flurry rushed his flurry rush that he flurry rushed to your flurry rush??

Bullying Ganon is community service 💗

Also Ganon's back flip flurry rush is so extra,,, Link is literally like 4 foot nothing, just take one step backwards lmao not like he can reach you

(Based on the in-game mechanic of having to flurry rush Ganon twice in order to land a hit, Ganon reverse uno's your first flurry rush)

Last panel credit to and references this: link

Drew a funny doodle inspired by that tumblr post but then I couldn't stop drawing...

Did I really just commit to a whole action sequence just to make one terrible joke...?

....yes... 😬😭

A re-coloured version of this

Don't edit your posts after posting them challenge: impossible

Why is it that mistakes are only visible AFTER posting?? 🫣🫠

I could stare and scrutinize a drawing for 30min before posting and think it's ready... but the minute it's posted BAM obvious mistake 😭😭

I've been having Lady Gaga's Abracadabra on my brain on repeat for a week now... and if I have to suffer, so does everyone else 😭 sorry not sorry

Legend has the hardest dance minigame out of all the games,,, so after blood, sweat, and tears, he became the Headmaster of the Dance Hall and executes anyone who underperforms (if the Gorons showed no mercy in the minigame, why should he?)

It's totally canon, I swear

Hyrule Warriors young Link is so cute it triggers my cute aggression, whoever designed that victory animation definitely knew what they were doing!!

I couldn't decide if I wanted him to hold the Fierce Deity mask or the Bunny Hood, so I combined both. It's honestly a tragedy that we can't do that in-game...

[stxss-art]

Here's Xane and Duma from Fire Emblem!

Xane is probably my absolute favourite FE character of all time, even if he is a little obscure. As for Duma, I think he's a very complex character, and drawing melting zombie dragons is VERY fun, 10/10 would recommend.

It's such a shame these two are so unpopular, I wish I could see more fanart of them!! But have my rough sketches in the meantime :)

Also sorry for the incoming long rant under the cut, but I have FEELINGS about Fire Emblem I need to get out, and this post might as well be it, sorry in advance if it offends anyone 😭

I've loved FE since playing Sacred Stones and Binding Blade, and I still loved FE even with the massive change to the franchise after Awakening... (though my absolute favourite game is SoV, which replaced Sacred Stones) but the final nail in coffin that killed my hyperfixation was the new FE Engage... honestly what even was that shit... I'm sorry to the fans, but I couldn't even finish that game, it was so. Bad.

Why are the characters so one-dimensionally quirky like they're from a trashy dating sim?? What even was up with the ring concept?? I was cringing so hard through the entire gameplay... maybe I haven't given the story a good enough chance? 3H had me thinking we were recovering from the dating sim tragedy of IF (shoehorned romancing babies... seriously wtf)... what happened??? And why do we NEED an MC self-insert avatar that can romance everyone and their mothers??

I loved FE for the multi dimensional lore, the back stories between the side characters, the world building... the strategy gameplay!! I never needed to have parasocial romances with the characters to appreciate them. In fact, they were the most interesting when they interacted with each other!

I'm just sad about the direction of FE since the success of Awakening, it wouldve been fine if the quality was there... but half the games are now just barely-concealed harem games that does strategy rpg on the side. Fire Emblem is all about the writing! The story drives the gameplay, terrible writing is forgivable in gameplay-focused games, but not FE.

I just feel we lost so much good writing and world building, like the lore about the divine dragon tribe (a source of my hyperfixation). There's very little, but so much is said from the little we do have. I love the complexity of their situation, their actions, the tragedy and choices of the divine dragons throughout majority of the games that affect the entire world... and I'm still sad that we never got the 3rd game after Mystery of the Emblem, that Kaga expressed would have more story and focus on Xane, who has an interesting contrast to Tiki. This is also the reason why I enjoyed Rhea's backstory from 3H. It also plays on the tragedy and choices of divine dragons in the age of man, and the inherent struggles for power and survival; it was well written in comparison to whatever Engage is. I would go on a tangent about divine dragons since I used to obsess over the lore and analyze it, but I've taken enough space for something that probably isn't an issue for most people lol

My only hope is that any new addition to the franchise would be well written, I wish I could make more fanart, but FE feels kinda sour now...

Extra:

I was so obsessed, I even played the hellish FE Heroes gacha (had to stop after 4 years because of their awful powercreeping that would have destroyed my wallet). But look at some of my lovely +10's that are totally competitively non-viable now!

It's Legend!

Posing with one of my favourite rods from albw.

This has just been sitting in my drafts, I was going to use it to practice lighting and fully render, but I don't think it's going to happen... it'll just have to exist as-is lol

At this point,,, lineart and flat colours are just my aesthetic... yeah... 😭

[stxss-art]

Another version, just in case the details are hard to see on the first one!

The Hero's Shade!

I like to imagine that his time as a shade wasn't all bad... there must be some benefits to everlasting death, right? (Like getting to meet your long lost friend..?)

Wanted to do a study on skeletons, but got derailed into thinking about the Hero of Time.

The last bonus panel was born out of my frustration with trying to figure out the monstrosity that is his outfit as I was drawing it lol

Listen, listen to my thought process:

Warriors plays nepotism, and everyone else does tax evasion.

You think Ordonian goat boy pays taxes to the colonizer? No. Tax evasion. Hyrule imploded and there's no monarchy? That's tax evasion. You live in a cave? Tax evasion. Forever wandering? Tax evasion. Pirate boy is a minor, but once he's older? Tax evasion. Skyloft hasn't invented tax yet. That's premature tax evasion. You think Time pays taxes?? Haha. Tax evasion. (Eventually he had to go to war to avoid felony charges)

Soooo only Four pays taxes!

Thanks for coming to my ted talk 😌

A quick sketch of Four!

The only Hero who pays taxes.

A work in progress panel from my ALBW comic, it's going slowly but surely! 😭
