diamant’s framing in his supports // literally no one asked

there’s something here with diamant and how he’s framed in his supports with various characters, based on this post talking about the red stripe in his hair being an “imperfection“. i wanted to see if, in his supports, his framing showing/hiding the red stripe in his hair signified anything regarding how genuine he is, his intentions, etc.

so, like any sane person, i sat and obsessively watched collector togami’s video on all of his supports and made a ranking list.

this isn’t comprehensive, and you could argue some of these conversations have more/less framing of his left/right side than i’ve put here, but a lot of his supports have him framed on his right side, especially citrinne’s support. he talks specifically talking about the brodian nobility, and it’s only when he’s talking to her and apologises for the mess (showing his true intent, if you will, compared to saying what others want to hear, to so speak) where he’s framed on his left.

you’d think alfred’s support is a little odd, but if you think about the fact that brodia has a non-aggression pact with brodia (and thus, should be more friendly compared to solm, of which is in direct geographical opposition to brodia) and elusia (literally waging wars on elusia), it makes a lot of sense that he would be less guarded, so to speak, around alfred. it helps that alfred’s design is more... triangle-y than the others, which i want to bring in a connection about how triangles are the strongest shape... (yes i know i’m not good at character design don’t @ me lmao). also alfred, in general, just Is Like That in getting people to lower their guards around him, so it sort of tracks.

what’s incredibly interesting to me is that, in his ivy c-support, he’s framed with his left side to the camera, and yet his face is hidden from view when he tells ivy that “it’s okay if you don’t want the courage talisman rock thing i’m gifting you” where, throughout the rest of the conversation he’s been rather chill talking with ivy and 100% empathises with the whole “i have to keep appearances for my country“ thing. later, when he talks about how “ivy doesn’t owe him anything because brodia has a lot to answer for“, he’s fully facing the camera and you get a better glimpse of the red streak in his hair.

what’s also veeeeeery interesting is his b-support with alcryst; throughout the entire conversation, he’s been winded from practicing with mages and alcryst comes up and talked to him, freaks out a little, and then diamant finally tells him “hey so uh. i might be afraid of mages“ but ends up concluding the conversation of “it’s fine tho don’t worry abt it :)“ and just fucks off to go back to talk with the mages. we see his model turn around so that his left side flashes past the camera as he walks away. otherwise, he’s framed to his right facing the camera at all times

in his conversation with framme, the camera does this neat thing where, when he talks about his brodian ancestors and the founding of brodia, it suddenly cuts to framing him on his right side where the camera had solely been focused on his left, showing off the red streak in his hair. when he talks openly about the warmongering of brodia against elusia, he’s framed with his left side by the camera. pretty neat, eh?

also, because of his saying “let’s just call [my study habits] good enough“, i’d like to headcanon him as kind of a bad student, or at least one that doesn’t have study skills come to him easily. he definitely drilled himself in “normal“ ways of studying, but because it just... doesn’t click as well for him as it probably should, he considers himself “pretty good“ or “good enough“.

his s-support with alear is also pretty neat in that when he walks into frame, you only see his right side when he asks “is this a good time to talk?“, but then the camera switches so you see his left side through the rest of his conversation with alear. in his cg, the red streak in his hair is more vibrant than any other piece of official art we’ve been given of him in promotional material, but it’s still not very obvious.

so what does this say about diamant’s intentions? well, i’d like to say that he does try to be genuine/unguarded. in very support we see the red stripe in his hair in plain view at least once. in some supports it’s more obviously showcased than others. even in veyle’s support chain, he’s framed facing the camera head on, even if he’s not being fully unguarded, so you get to see a lot more of the red stripe. he’s letting his guard down, as much as he allows himself to.

but overall, he’s a really guarded person. he doesn’t tend to let others in aside from alear (who is the divine dragon and also technically his commanding officer and also Literally God) and alfred (who just has this way to get others to lower their guard, or at least, throws others who do have their guard up for a loop when he’s so darn genuine all the time). it makse sense given his archetypes, but it’s interesting in how the camerawork reinforces this.

it’s a little sad, though, that he doesn’t let his guard down around alcryst very much, if we take this interpretation as how his relationships with other people go...

Happy Birthday Alcryst!

Some screenshots of him being precious below

FE Engage redesign series: Amber, Diamant and Jade

Design notes:

Amber:

Ooh Amber, my favorite engage blorbo.. with one of my least favorite designs in the game! I fully expected him to be a cocky asshole character when I first saw him, so I feel his design does him a disservice.

Two things I wanted to emphasize:

1.) he's a farm boy.

So I kept the fluffy bits as a nod to the alpaca's and gave him overalls under his armor + some chunky working gloves!

2.) he wants to be a hero.

I wanted to convey this mainly with the cape. Like he grabbed a fancy blanket and threw it over his shoulders to play pretend. Without the cape he wears pretty typical FE calvary armor

Diamant:

Diamant; really solid OG design 👍🏻 I just wanted him to look a bit more intimidating and imposing; which doesn't fit his personality, but does fit the image people tend to have of him and Brodia.

I Also made his color scheme more similar to his dad, but replaced the golds with silver just like his OG. I like how that kinda shows he still has some growing to do before he can confidently take the crown. But he got what it takes in him, so I added some gold to the inside of his cape

Jade:

Jades are green, so I made her green🤷🏻 other than that, I aimed to make her silhouette a tad bit more flattering and less boxy!

Saw a post saying Petra and Diamant actually had the same skin tone

Refused to believe it and downloaded their official images from their games

Used the picker tool to get a sample of Diamant's skin tone. I aimed for his cheek away from facial shadows

Drew on Petra in the exact same location to see if there's a noticeable difference

The skin tone matched perfectly

Well fuck.....

Technically, the exact samples had different names (FED7B2 for Petra and F6CAA4 for Diamant if you're curious), but they were similar enough to not have any noticeable differences

Actually according to the hexcodes petra is noticably lighter
