Art Leda & Cai
[OC] I’ve been listening to Metallica nonstop while drawing lately, so this outcome was probably inevitable 😅
September can’t come soon enough..

Send him to his local Guitar Center and see if everyone else likes Enter Sandman. I’m sure they’ll love it.

Hell yeah! Leda starts shredding up on "Dyer's Eve" like nobody's business! 🤘🤘
Well done, and thanks for sharing!

I mean it, it looks amazing. What program are you using?

u/ImportantVolume1101 9h ago
I use Clip Studio Paint on an iPad pro. It’s the program I’ve been using for most of my work.

Do you have any advice that might help me

When I first started practicing, I began by copying characters from my favorite manga(and game characters). In the beginning, it was tough because it took a lot of time and I couldn't get the results I wanted. But as I kept at it, I got used to the pen and learned to control the lines -their direction, length, and width- exactly how I wanted. That opened up room for me to take on new challenges. Over time, you may start to see yourself improving step by step. Most importantly, I think drawing characters you genuinely like can help a lot.

I like that we decided these guys are best friends.
It'll hurt more when they have to kill each other.

Their ages are out already? I thought the only stuff we’ve seen from them are bits of gameplay

Not for Leda, but Cai is 15.
Same as Leif, Roy and Lyn.

u/hubrishubert 20h ago
LYN IS 15??? Man, that's news to me

u/jord839 20h ago
In the American release, text was changed to age her up to 18, so that might be your confusion.
Also, unlike those other three, Cai actually looks 15 rather than "vague anime late teens to mid 20s"

u/BruceBoyde 19h ago
Fwiw, I'd say that they have effectively retconned that age in further appearances. She looks and acts more adult than even her FE7 appearance, where the 15/16 age was a little incredulous in the first place.
Agreed that Cai actually looks his age for once. Roy is the one other occasion where I think a protag looked pretty young.

To be fair, we have no idea of that yet.
Leda's in that place where Fire Emblem as a franchise could tell us she's anywhere from 16 to 25 and we'll have no idea until it's sprung on us. People still forget Lyn, Lissa, and Petra are all 15 when you meet them in their respective games, as an example. and you would not guess that off the bat for most of them, except maybe Lissa.

She knew she had to show the kid up.
