Chibi Hilda doodles that turned into digital art practice.

8/21/2024. (Furthest right / third Hilda.) First chibi Hilda drawn with Platinum Preppy fountain pen, using Noodler's Ink. No pencil underdrawings. Colored with Copic markers and ShinHanArt Touch marker. Cleaned up digitally in Krita.

8/22/2024. (Middle / second Hilda.) Second chibi Hilda drawn in pencil. Colored with Copic markers and ShinHanArt Touch marker. Cleaned up digitally in Krita.

8/22/2024. (Furthest left / first Hilda.) Digitally traced my second/pencil chibi Hilda in Krita.

I wanted to get back into daily drawings, with some very quick daily chibi doodles. So I thought I'd start by practicing the Golden Deer members.

But then my fountain pen ink smudged with my Copic markers, at the worst areas. Usually, I barely have to wait for Noodler's Ink to dry, but I forgot to be careful anyway. I was so frustrated these smudges being right on her face and center/front hair, that I tried drawing Hilda all over again with pencil. I don't know why I thought that wouldn't smudge with Copic markers. It smudged even worse and stained my Copic nibs. So, to get the clean look I wanted, I digitally redrew over my second/pencil chibi Hilda. My very quick daily drawing practice turned into a multi-day project, because I'm still learning to get the hang of digital drawing.

But also, I need to find a pen that works with how I want to draw. I don't want to wait overnight for linework ink to dry. I like how fast I can color with Copic markers. I just need linework that doesn't smudge with Copic or any alcohol marker ink. I actually also tried a quick chibi Hilda sketch with Copic Multiliner. But my technical pens are so old, I keep forgetting how dry they are. They're ok for slowly inking finalized lines. But for quick sketches, I need something as juicy as a fountain pen...but then I get into the Copic smudging problem. So pencil didn't turn out so well in this experiment with Copic smudging. But maybe I should try colored pencils next? Or just buy ink refills for my Copic Multiliners.

Watching reaction vids to the FE3H trailers, and they're kind of right about Hilda. They're wrong to be disinterested in Hilda, but they're right about the Golden Deer's intro trailer making her seem less interesting.

Her profile just says she likes fashion and being lazy, or something. That is not putting Hilda's best foot forward, when that trailer is supposed to be pitching you a House over the others. In comparison, the reactor said the other House's characters sounded more interesting. And yesh, there's more inherent intrigue in princesses and kings, knights and vassal states.

But the cool thing about Hilda is how cunning and manipulative she is. And she makes it look easy too. Sure, she's very nice and actually pretty selfless and generous underneath. But it's just so cool and fun to watch her bend everything into the way she wants, without any malice about it.

And the other Golden Deer in the trailer specifically for their House, weren't put in their best lights either. What makes Leonie cool is her easy going personality, resiliency, "tomboyishness", and commoner perspective. What makes Raphael endearing is what a sunshine sweetheart he is; also down to earth, so much that he makes some of the nobility's concerns seem silly, which leads to some funny moments.

Actually a lot of the Golden Deer have the novelty of commoner perspectives. And a lot of their charm is in their personalities and how they choose to interact in their Supports, much more than these profiles in that trailer, simply listing one superficial like and dislike.

Then again, maybe the point of the Golden Deer house is to reward or encourage curiosity below the surface. Uncovering hidden truths was a big story theme with Claude, after all.

But did their trailer have to make it harder to be curious about them???? I want more people to love my precious Deer! 😭🦌💛

Is this why Hilda is trending?
