This serves both as a CYL10 request for vinnyvvicci on bsky, who requested a female marth as a pegasus knight, and a birthday present for @ikazooks, who started the infamous caedarth yuri / marth boobies trend on bsky last year, which will forever be ur legacy LOL (it's may 24th in my timezone so yeah)
anyways at first I wasnt sure how to draw a gender bent marth, but then I remembered that the lead artist for fe11 drew marth to have a "girly, nostalgic look" so its ok. I hope you like it!
...also it doesn't matter if marth is a man or a woman, you're still not escaping from my muscular marth headcanon, sorry not sorry
This was supposed to be a self indulgent anatomy practice drawing until I remembered... eggsaladontoast on bsky requested a Marth drawing as part of their CYL10 request... Whoops (I hope you don't mind his big naturals are out).
In my defence, I haven't drawn a solo Marth drawing in a long time, and also, a previous CYL10 request implements the buff Marth headcanon that I have, so its ok (happy summer, feh better give us summer marth and his body is toned, or else im rioting [delusional])
Anyways I wanted to redraw that one Marth drawing that Kozaki Yusuke drew, which appears in the FEH title screen because it's such a cool pose, and also, Marth grabbing his own cape while in battle is peak aura farming tbh
Of course, if wolf boi Marth had to be in FE:Shadows, then he has to have a monster form, so here you go.
I wanted to show that Marth will only ever be pushed into this state after an unimaginable amount of suffering, hence the tears-like streak under his eyes.
Those who know my bsky know I had an entire FE:Shadows what-if thread featuring wolfboi Marth and Tiki except-her-dragon-form-is-closer-to-FE:Sh's-canon.
[More of the AU below.]
Wolf boi Marth
I truly believe that Marth would be a wolf in FE Shadows for two reasons: a.) his OVA-exclusive surname Lowell means "little wolf;" and b.) the Emblem of Marth from the Super Game Magazine Haoh (article here.)
Although if I understand the FE:Sh world correctly, wolves are significant enough to a point where Joachim insists that people ignore his [wolf] ears even though he had no knowledge of his family history.
Nevertheless, I still think Marth being symbolized by a wolf makes more sense than a lion, cuz he's more like a "leader of a pack" kinda guy than a "king with loyal subjects" yknow (even if he is accurate.)
In this AU, Marth wouldn't be a prince but rather a traveler of some sort (inspired by Corrin). One of my older idea was that he was once part of a traveling group of entertainers, which is why he is partially dressed in that prince-like get-up. Who's knows, he's probably roleplayed either Kurt's or Joachim's ancestor in the past. Im not set on that backstory tho, but he ends up traveling with Tiki to make ends meet.
Marth is extremely careful of how he presents himself—to a point where he actively hides his canine teeth at every moment when he isn't alone, like how he smiles and eats. He is kind, warm, and likes to help around even if villagers are cautious of him. When desperate, he takes on mercenary jobs to sustain himself, but otherwise he prefers to avoid conflict.
Just like Dimitri and Lyn, he doesn't have any memories of his past—only that he feels safe and at home with the Falchion by his side. After meeting Tiki, Marth ends up traveling around with her.

Divine(?) Dragon Child Tiki
Tiki is still somewhat "???" I'm undecided if Tiki would be an actual amnesiac dragon with direct ties to FE:Sh's Naga, or smth else with no connection at all.
Regardless, she is cheerful yet curious and loves exploring new sights and meeting people. She has no memories of her past, yet it seems like she is still haunted by it through nightmares. I'd like to think she vaguely remembers the name "Naga" but she insists that she has no connection to the goddess. Yet that doesn't stop people from mistaking her as one of Naga's Disciples of Light. Although she initially denies that title, Tiki later takes advantage of it once she starts traveling with Marth as a way to keep her wolf friend safe from "mean villagers >:C"
She used to loathe the dark for the nightmares it came with, but meeting Marth changed that. Tiki now finds the comfort he provides every night her safest space since her arrival. Even though it doesn't stop the nightmares completely, Marth's caring nature never fails to ground her.
i apologize for the frequent sonicposting i'm still in a sonic mood
Its always bothered me that Super Silver (or ANY of the Super Forms apart from Super Sonic) never got an official 2D render, so I drew a mock-up of it.
That said, I saw that the fandom wiki does have the 2D stock art for Super Silver, only that it is really low-quality and that I can't find the exact source of the image. So I'll assume that it's real but not official or canon ig???
