Here’s something I’m sure a lot of people already own. Fire Emblem Awakening Model Sheets: Knights of Iris

Yusuke Kozaki does a phenomenal job here, I mean god damn. Everyone looks so fucking sexy and pretty, even the guys.

This is a pretty extensive design archive, containing everything from character designs to weapons to layout designs to weapon designs to ingame event illustrations to character profiles (whew).

Basically a 318-page love letter to FE:A fans.

Awesome art by @elentori-art

[no-mercy-game]

The very first concept sketches for the game I’m working on called No Mercy (for now but I think the name will stick haha). Let’s see where the following months will take us!! My goal is to have a fully functioning demo done in 5 months. Above we have Midknight, Elliot (War and Pieces), and Rays Hell. I’m not saying this entire character selection will be based on puns, but it totally will be.

The Legend of Korra seasons 1-4 was a master class of animation for a TV series in the last decade. Season 1 in particular showcased some of my absolute favorite moments, largely done by S1 Chief animator at Studio Mir, Choi In Seung.
