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!

Second one for @hakbot, it’s Lissa!

I really dislike the cleric designs in Awakening so this was fun.

It isn’t Lissa without pigtails, but that hairstyle doesn’t suit my Aesthetic™ so I gave her twin braids instead, wrapped up with a little bit of ribbon to make it cute. And I turned that…whatever that was on her head, into a proper veil.

Lissa is still young and energetic so I gave her a slightly shorter under-dress, and an over-dress that is still reminiscent of her apron.

I brought in some green accents, because I love it, and gave her dress a pattern to break up all that yellow (apologies for this one, I don’t use a lot of yellow generally so I don’t really have the right colors for her).

Overall I like the design but I think I could have drawn it a little bit better. Oh well!

Cherche redesign for @hakbot!

Awakening seems more “modern” to me than some of the other games but I’m here for that pseudo-medieval aesthetic so that’s what I deliver.

As for the changes:

First of all I lengthened her tunic (though not too much) and since Virion always seemed kind of fantasy!French to me I based it on medieval French tunics, mostly with the sleeves.

I also gave her proper hosen, and used that as an excuse to add some splashes of pink to her design.

I changed the armor too. It seems to me that the easiest place to hit a flying unit is their mount, and the second easiest must be their legs. So I made her legs and hips much more heavily armored! I really love her dragon wing neckpiece but it seemed very impractical so I changed that into a more typical gorget. I gave her some chainmail under her tunic, and also generally made the armor more “solid” looking.

Also I can only assume that the character designers have never ridden in a convertible with long, loose hair. I gave her a braid, which would be WAY easier to maintain and does not require spending three hours removing knots from it each night.

What do you guys think? And I’m still taking requests to add to my list if this piques anyone’s interest!
