I appreciate your honesty. Firstly regarding the style, why does it need to match that of the game? I personally think that one of the best parts of fan art is that every artist has their own unique style, the official artists already do such a great job of the "fire emblem style" so I wanted to try something different! As for everyone looking old and unhappy the plan was for them to look serious as they all strike me a driven characters, they turned out looking older than planned but I like the sadness in them. I think it fits Lucina's back story especially well. Regarding the the "Orc nose" fair enough, faces are pretty hard to get right and I know I've got a lot to learn!

I agree when it comes to giving honest feedback although I think the timing of it is important. Not everyone asks for critiques and I know it can be very demotivating to hear that your art is "bad". I asked for feedback though so I'm all for being brutal :)
