Concept Art:
Echizen took maybe 1.5 hours and Tezuka was about 2 hours (so that makes Hyotei by far the hardest group to do… Well, Atobe and Oshitari at least, and I was so-so with Rikkai, but they were the first group that I had ever done…) At least I've come up with a few small tricks to make things go faster (but nothing makes changing the color around fancy trimming faster X.X). ANYWAYS, with Lord Tezuka (Bow Paladin - his horse isn't around this picture though) and Swordmaster Echizen, I am done with all of the FE concept art \o/ !!!!!!!!!!!!! Fyi, last two I did was at the end of September and posted on the 1st of October. TIME FLYING AWAY, WHAT?!
You know what's crazier? I've been working on PoT/FE since May 2011. What's craziest is that I thought, up until a few days ago, that I was still unfinished on Ch. 3 and the middle transition paragraphs of Ch. 8 until I was reading something out of a journal untouched since the summer and some paper fell out… one of which that had the ending paragraphs of Ch. 3. Which means that I've been done with the main story since October-ish and haven't touched until last week because I've been working on the prequel.

As I picked people for Seigaku, I noticed they all had the tattered cape/simple clothing look, which was hilarious since I was choosing art based on their fighter class. And almost all of them had blue and/or red (with the exception of Kaidou, but hey, he's Kaidou). I had to change Tezuka's coat from purple-ish to blue though. I do like how Seigaku and Hyotei have their country's colors. Only Sanada (black and gold armor, red cape), the Wyvern Lord (black armor), and Yagyuu (black clothes) represent Rikkai, which is appropriate seeing they are the highest ranking soldiers. Shitenhouji doesn't have anyone with their colors XDDD
