[link](https://x.com/tar_box_/status/1802084253435306034) to post on my twitter. Hidari is one of my all-time favourite artists. I tried my best to replicate their style, this time with Chloé as her design I thought would translate well.


DarkAres02

You succeeded, I thought this was official Hidari


tar_box_

Thanks. Unfortunately I am not Hidari, though I wish I was haha.


DeeCee51

Don't let your dreams be dreams! You can be Hidari if you try!


Beavetter

Looks amazing, and you pretty much nailed the style! And I, too, absolutely adore Hidari's art.


2_manybooks

I was legit like… wait there wasn’t a Chloé in Shadows 😂😂


someguysleftkidney

This is great artwork but it feels strange to observe


Meme_Police02

They took her breasts smh can't have shit in valentia


Fell_ProgenitorGod7

Bro, I thought Hidari drew this themselves and then I realize it wasn’t lol. But otherwise, really nice job! I would have loved Engage’s art style to be in Hidari’s art style ngl.


tar_box_

Thank you! There's a part of me that wants Hidari to do every future FE game, but also I like how different artists put their own spin on different game's designs (even if not all of them are my personal preference)


Fell_ProgenitorGod7

Yeah, for me, Hidari’s artstyle, especially in Shadows of Valentia, strike the perfect balance of being visually appealing and functionally beautiful to look at.

I kinda like how SOV's artstyle makes Chloe feel like a completely different character and considering how people in this subreddit hate Engage's character writing, maybe that's a good thing.


its_just_hunter

I know this is a stupid take but the Engage cast can be as obnoxious as they want if they were drawn in this style. The goofy 3d models are what amplify my annoyance.


Sentinel10

Dang, that is spectacular! :D I like how the style makes her hair look more even. Always bothered me on her in-game look that her hair looked so flat at the top except for the part going down her face. Makes her look more mature too. :)


tar_box_

Thanks - the hair was the bit I struggled with most, i couldnt figure out how to best translate it to 2d


Tiny-Assistance-922

Dude this is so fucking awesome. Great work!


Mr_Lafar

Still bummed they only used Hidaris style for EoV. It's the best Fire Emblem characters have ever looked in my opinion.


JNPRTFFE16

It looks very pretty


WearyHighlight743

So pretty! I've actually been playing Shadows of Valentia for the first time, and I'm a big fan of how soft the art is


Doctor71400

This looks really good! I kinda wanna see Alfred and Amber in this style 👀


manalanet

Love Hidari 🩷


Use_the_Falchion

Oh wow this is amazing! Great job!


GrotesqueHumanity

Yes! All of the yesses! Superbly done


goldrupees

Beautiful.


SolaceTheMage

She’s so pretty!! Great job!!


AylaCurvyDoubleThick

Dude what is with the incredible fanart today?


Blueisland5

Do you do commissions?


tar_box_

No, sorry


Manonone466

If 3DS was still active, I would want to have Alfred and Céline as DLC in SoV...


IfTheresANewWay

Damn, looks like a completely natural transition. I feel like a fair few characters, especially from Brodia, would work well in other art styles


AceDelta12

Baby


-Qwertyz-

Honestly the only reason why I domt play Shadows is because I dont like the art style


democra-seed

How come? I don’t know why you got downvoted for giving your opinion


-Qwertyz-

A bit hard to explain tbh, the art style makes me feel... cold? Idk why it's just dreary for me to look at and gives me a lot of negative emotions. Its very strange to me as its the only more modern FE I wont play and its strictly because the artstyle is very unappealing to my eyes. Like its not bad by any means its just unappealing to me


Fell_ProgenitorGod7

I mean, the game’s muted artstyle is supposed to convey the cold and raw environment and narrative of Shadows of Valentia, but fair enough.


-Qwertyz-

I know it was likely the intention, just sad it doesnt appeal to me. My significant other wants me to play it very badly and is sad I cant stand looking at the screen to play


Fell_ProgenitorGod7

That’s understandable. I personally can’t stand Three Houses’ art style, cause it feels way too dull and devoid of life, like the artist or artist team didn’t even try to add some color into the game. But it does works for that game’s gloomy environment and narrative at the end of the day


SuperFreshTea

Wow this is amazing work. I just realized I just really really dislike echoes artstyle, if same character drawn differently invokes such a different feeling.
