Bluesky/PixivFlame Emperor? More like the Flat Emperor at this point!===============================================================Growing as an Artist (New Concepts/Discoveries and Thoughts):- This was round two for DistortingReality and I to create a render based off of a character and a prompt in a limited time frame. Maybe we'll have a fancy name for it at some point to make it easier to distinguish. This time, I actually didn't even have Edelgard in the picture by the end of the hour mark. I spent like a third of the time just trying to pose her because her cape resulted in a lot of clipping after rotating her arms and her armature was a maze of bones. I also imported a pretty hefty background which needed to be addressed. Meanwhile, DistortingReality's picture was... Oof. We just didn't have the quality we wanted. As a result, he didn't post his. After he left, I took another hour to work and actually ended up with this.- Interestingly, Edelgard was missing her lips on her facial texture. I managed to fix it up quite nicely though.===============================================================Trivia and Extra Tidbits:- The concept behind this was pretty simple: Battle with a monster that's much, much larger than you...  Given the nature of my content, the outcome is obvious, but there actually are giant wolves in Three Houses though, among other beasts with unique mechanics to fighting them!- There's a silver sword stuck in the terrain and a chest in the background to the left. I would've used an axe, but I didn't have any from Three Houses.===============================================================Credits:- Characters: Edelgard von Hresvelg (Fire Emblem: Three Houses).
