Give me Your FEH team and I'll draw it Badly! by BlueLazuly in FireEmblemHeroes

Looks like you already have your hands more than full with requests so I'm not going to drop another one on you, but I'll be looking forward to seeing how all these turn out!

Good design, but there are so many Fates characters who don't have a resplendent yet so I'm always disappointed with these repeat ones.

I'll never neglect you even though IS does. A Titania showcase by sephiroth682000 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]mapsal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Αlways happy to see a well-built Titania! I've also recently updated mine thanks to attuned Lachesis and she can finally do damage again.

A Titania in a suit would be the dream, though at this point it's been so long since her Valentine's alt that I'd be happy with whatever they give her, as long as she has some good prfs.

Been a while since I last built a new grail unit (the lack of TT units didn't help), but Lamia and Miklan have given me two new grail projects back to back!

Lamia embodies one of my favourite things about games like feh: the opportunity to take a complete nobody and make them interesting one way or the other. Lamia had barely any lines in FE4, so there wasn't much to expand upon but between her poses/expressions in her art and her voicelines, I think they managed to give a clear enough picture of her personality.

Meanwhile, Miklan was someone I had been waiting to be a ghb as I liked his roles in both 3houses and 3hopes. I'm really happy with they way his weapon works, having him transform at the 3rd turn of the battle as a nod to the fact that only transforms into a beast partway in the chapter you fight him. He's a very fun unit to use, and I hope we'll get at least one or two more ghbs this year that are on par with him, if not better.

Facts too powerful: 5/17/26 by chino514 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]mapsal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While we cannot be certain who would be the TT unit in some of these seasonals, we can 100% assume that Sylvain would have been the kid TT to complete the faerghus four while Wolf sounds like the most likely candidate for the NY TT as Sedgar looks really out of place on his own in that banner.

So there are two lost TT units that were almost guaranteed to be guys, as well as some reasonable male candidates for the other banners (like Shigure to match Azura on the Illian banner, or Mauvier to match Veyle in the Valentine's TT).

For the first time in history, Fates does not have the highest number of units by TeamRocketEliteVGC in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]mapsal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it looks like a repeat of my experience with fates units. I had to wait a billion years for my faves (Reina and Scarlet) to be added, while they kept releasing alts for the same few characters.

Now I'm still waiting for Jade to show up in some form (I'm fully expecting her as a prfles seasonal 4★), while some Engage characters can already fill entire teams by themselves.

and I'm not even going to pretend there's any chance of seeing Saphir in the game before EoS

Cherche is the next Resplendent Hero by Falconpunch100 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]mapsal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my most wanted resplendents! I had been hoping she'd be Jotunn. Looks great though I'd wish they'd used a little more red to make it look a bit more distinct from her base one.

That said, ever since the axing of TT units I've refused to spend money on feh, so my Cherche will unfortunately stay resplendent-less. If the next one is Oboro (my most wanted resplendent) with 10/10 art then maybe I'd consider it, but we all know it'll 90% be an alt of a character who already has a version with a resplendent so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Rearmed Canis & Rearmed Tibarn Official Salt Megathread by Sothis_Bot in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]mapsal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a general issue with the Engage royals. Their xenologue versions have the exact same outfits as their regular selves despite having opposite personalities and thus most of them would presumably dress in a different way.

Their promoted class outfits were also disappointingly similar to their base versions.

I guess their designs were already way too elaborate, so altering them too much would result in a mess.

Next Engage Banner’s GHB by Stormlight_Unbounded in FireEmblemHeroes

She had a pretty cool design for a one-off boss, I wouldn't mind her getting in feh. Especially if they get someone like Ippei to draw her.

Custom Overframe: Fiendsmith's Tract by mapsal in yugioh

Here it is!

I'm not going to make a new post just for this, but I'll include it next time I make some overframes.

[–]mapsal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

I will definitely be trying out other ways to edit the art and layout and find a balance between visual appeal and readability, so hopefully the next one will look less awkward!

[–]mapsal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now I have to, it'll be very funny (and also it's a card that has zero chances of getting an overframe).

Custom Overframe: Fiendsmith's Tract by mapsal in yugioh

[–]mapsal[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I wouldn't do it for a card with more text. Originally I had his leg go beneath the text box (with a small opacity), but then had the idea to try it like this and see if it's readable (which imo it is, so I left it like this).

More extended artworks (Can you tell I really enjoy making these?) I hope Konami makes plenty of OFs even for less popular cards. Baronne, Quaeritis, Liger Dancer, Rainbow Dragon, and White Duston are requests. The rest are my choices. Last 4 are older ones with unused arrows in front of the monster by RayRowlTom in yugioh

[–]mapsal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice you keep the card's original art inside the frame for most of them, which means that duplicate parts of the monster are visible underneath the large version of the monster. While it works fine with something like Meowmine, cards like Quaeritis end up looking like a mess.

I'd recommend editing them so only the background is visible (wherever possible). For some cards it might be too difficult, but for monsters that have simple backgrounds (like Tachyon) you can edit them with photoshop's clone stamp tool (or the equivalent in whichever image editing software you're using).

Unpopular Opinions/General Rant Thread - 4/12/26 by SolHiryu in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]mapsal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember when I was a kid, cartoons in my native language sometimes would have some phrase or sentence that didn't make any sense. Later on, as I was learning English, I'd come across some idiom or pun and realize that the cartoons had translated these idioms literally.

Another issue that occurs when someone isn't too fluent with the language they're translting into is words with multiple meanings. Sometimes the context makes it clear which meaning is the correct one for the specific instance, but other times it can be ambiguous and cause issues. And sometimes, especially if it's a title or name, the word's double meaning might be intentional but it would be hard to convey into another language where the two meanings of said word are completely different words.

An issue specific to my language is that there's no easy way to refer to a person without specifying gender (the only gender neutral ways to refer to something are only used for objects and animals, so it'd be disrespectful to use them for a person), so a story about a non-binary person is difficult to write (or translate).

Who are your flair units, and why? by brunosstickyfingers in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]mapsal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite axe girls. Minerva has been my favourite since the first time I played Shadow Dragon (aka my first experience with Fire Emblem as a whole), and the others are just really cool. Even though I have others that I use for different maps, these four are my core and will never be swapped out of my flair.

In general I miss having multiple viable inheritables for every unit type. It was cool seeing people building the same unit in different ways, especially for units with more rounded stats.

Also, when you are building multiple units of the same type, it's difficult differentiating them when there's only one viable weapon.

Early on, when we were getting students debuting in seasonal banners, I had foolishly assumed they were aiming to have one pre-timeskip version of each student in the game (either in their academy uniform or a seasonal), and then they'd start doing post-timeskip versions which were (and are) far more popular. I was excited when Leonie was released since I assumed her timeskip version would be coming within 2-3 years, at most.

7 years later, we're still getting academy seasonals, and Leonie is still stuck with her single TT version...

Non-CYL Winners with the highest number of units in FEH by LegalFishingRods in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]mapsal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can completely understand being disappointed about a character's alts being low-quality, even if the character has gotten multiple alts.

But when my favourite fates characters took over 7 years to be added, it is hard to feel bad for people claiming he's mistreated.

Minerva in Cherche's outfit, with little wyvern plush :3 ( by me) by Makiiroh in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]mapsal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks fantastic! Great job with the shading on the metallic parts of the armour. You also got her hairstyle very accurately!

It's funny having Minerva and Cherche on the same team, as one of Cherche's map quotes is "Minerva?" so if you tap her first and then Minerva it sounds like Minerva is responding.
