Look there are worse outfits in fates but you hate that too much lmfao

I’m sure I could do good things with it, I just don’t want to waste the effort on a game I hate so much XD

For @comradewodka, the infamous Tharja!

Where to even start? First of all I don’t dislike Tharja’s outfit (because the dudes also look like that) I dislike her personality and treatment by both IntSys and fans, which I can’t fix. But I did my best!

Well first I wanted to moderate her palette so I made her hair dark purple and brought in purple and gray accents to her outfit (looking at Henry, Gangrel, and Robin). I actually love her gorget and cape so I kept some of those accents the same only I dagged the cloak because of course.

Also since the “Recruitable” Plegians are all white and that’s, how you say, racist, I gave her dark skin. She looks better like this anyway.

I removed her tiny pigtails and had them pulled back instead.

And I just gave her a gown with a slit up the side because, regardless of my personal feelings on Tharja and her desirability, “sorceress” has always been associated with a sort of sexuality I decided to portray here.

I think she looks kind of like an evil Ninian actually, which makes me laugh. Profiles aren’t my strongest, but I’m happy with this one!

Vika for @deirdre-relatable

For her I didn’t want to go medieval but just to make her look a little more like she belonged. So I made her clothing cover a bit more and darkened the colors a lot (she still looks like she’s wearing modern pants…oops…)

I gave her boots instead of those ridiculous sandals. Since the other crows we’ve seen all wear at least two layers of clothing and Kilvas must be pretty cold I also gave her a waist wrap she can use as a shawl if she decides to go home.

I tried something new with the wings on this one which just…did not work so then I colored them flat black and had to try and re-ink the lines. The wings are a mess but at least I learned something.

Also since I’m basing these off the characters’ official art…why does Vika look so disinterested? Her pose and expression are both so “not really sure I want to be here right now but I don’t care enough to be unhappy about it”. Vika, please.
