Smaugust 2023 day 31. It's like this every other week with Claude's wyvern.

8/31/2023. Drawn with Pilot Petit fountain pen, using Monteverde "Charoite" ink. Colored with Copic markers.

9/1-5/2023. Digital clean-up, fixes, and assembly in Krita. Also used previous days' fanart of chibi DMCL with wyvern. Older fanart included some drawn with Platinum Preppy fountain pen, using Noodler's Ink, and colored with Copic markers, and once with Daiso Water Colors.

Dumb jokes from last night. lol

Yesterday, I was wondering which concept I should go for my Golden Deer propaganda poster. It was all dependent on how distinct the costume designs on their hands were. If they weren't recognizable enough, then I would have to go with the full body silhouette concept instead of the close-up of hands. So I looked up hksi1pin's height chart, so I could compare multiple character designs at once.

But then, seeing how short Edelgard was, the Edelcrit part of my brain kicked in and I just had to make fun of her. lol I guess teasing her is fun for me now. lol I thought, she's a "short stack", like pancakes. Then I remembered that "tall glass of water" is an idiom that could apply to Dimitri.

For Claude, I'm having trouble coming up with an idiom for someone of average height. I was thinking of "short king", since Claude becomes king of Almyra. But he's not short. He's average height. So if I can't think of some food-based idiom about heights, that fits Claude, then I might have to just draw him as a cafe waiter, holding plates of short-stack Edelgard pancakes and tall glass of Dimitri water.

dimitri's dating app profile would be like

large broad shoulders to give you the best hugs ever and a tiny waist to receive the best hugs ever

I love that Dimitri's voice actor is such a big Dimitri fan. lol

YESSSSS!!! Dimitri finally got posted by Good Smile's US Twitter! Now, no one will miss out.

I almost preordered 1/7 scale Dimitri from AmiAmi or GSC's international shop because GoodSmile's US and English-international accounts hadn't yet posted about him. I was beginning to think he was a Japan-exclusive. But he was actually already at their GSC US shop, even before GSC US's Twitter posted about him! Maybe even since Kahotan and Good Smile's European and general accounts posted about him, days ago? https://www.goodsmileus.com/product/dimitri-13261

$200+ for Dimitri… I'm sorry, wallet. I know you would've preferred a PopUpParade's $40, but it's still Dimitri…💙 He's worth it.💸 (And maybe we'll get a post timeskip Claude figure if he sells well.)

Happy 5th anniversary, FE3H!

7/5-26/2024, working on and off. Originally drawn in Platinum Preppy fountain pen, using Noodler's Ink. Then digitally traced and finished in Krita. Forgot to digitallly draw Bereto on a larger canvas, so shrunk the other chibi to fit his size.

Much needed digital practice.

The rabbit hole on this meme is good😂

Happy Dimiclaude Day!💐💐💐💐

Celebrating June 30, the equivalent date in FE3H Azure Moon route, when Dimitri rescued Claude at Derdriu.

6/30/2023. Clamp light used on tripod as fill light, in addition to phone camera's flash lighting. Roses used to cover figure support bases, but also to imply a rosy/romantic perception. I'm reluctantly trying to return to a habit of putting my watermark logo in the corner, after recently, when one of my older figure photos got broadly spread around without attribution. Used Krita to digitally erase some dust fibers from Claude.

FIGURES: Pop Up Parade Claude von Riegan Pop Up Parade Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd

PROPS: Iwako eraser of flower bouquet. Cereal box cardboard backdrop holder. Scrapbook paper. Artificial flowers: roses.

MerMay 2023, day 9. More chibi Dimiclaude mers, but in watercolors and teacups.

5/12/2023. Pencil and Daiso Water Colors. Cleaned up background and brightened Saturation in Krita.

Still practicing watercolors, so tried doing my final linework as only pencil. Sometimes I wonder if the softness of pencil fits better with watercolors. I still want to differentiate my watercolors from my marker/ink drawings. So I tried some wet-on-wet techniques and allowed a lot of messy imperfections.

But maybe I colored Claude's scales too high up his torso.

Still referencing the same glass teacup, I've had on my desk since drawing my "dragons and tea" set.

Chibi Dimiclaude holding hands, while leaning against Claude's snuggling wyvern.

4/20/2023. Pencil sketch, inked with Stabilo 88 pens, Copic Multiliner 0.25 & 0.03 pens, and Daiso brush pen. Colored with Copic markers. Some fixes in Krita.

Messed up lines for Dimitri's and wyvern's mouths, a bit. Their pencil versions weren't originally such sharply angled arcs. I hope it's ok. I'm still trying to learn to be ok with my inking not being exactly like my pencil lines. Seeing other people post vids of their inking not perfectly, exactly aligning with their sketch lines, has really been helping me vs my perfectionism.

I intended to just do a quick sketch, so I'd have time to continue practicing digital drawing. But I started my sketch with pencil, so I had to ink linework, and that gets complicated. So, no digital drawing practice tonight. ^.^;;;;

But I feel much better drawing traditionally, than just getting super frustrated with learning digital drawing again. So maybe I let this get complicated to make up for yesterday's lack of feeling like I was drawing, because I could barely do anything in Krita yesterday.

Sometimes i remember that FE3H's Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd has the same seiyuu as Haikyuu's Kageyama Tobio, and it still blows my mind. Like, some casting director saw Kaito Ishikawa play a tortured "King of the Court" and was like "Ooh! He needs to play a Fire Emblem king!" lol
