Branded Power

PLEASE NOTE THAT ZELGIUS AND PETRINE’S LAGUZ BACKGROUND HAS NEVER BEEN REVEALED AND THUS THIS IMAGE IS NOT NECESSARILY CANON.

Been awhile. If you wanna know what kept me from doing anything for a whole year, then you can go to my journal.
This is dedicated for all my patient watchers who kept me despite my deadness.
LUV YA GUYZ AND GALZ!!

Zelgius: NOT CONFIRMED AS HAWK BRANDED. But he excels at strength and speed (despite his heavy armor) and his brand has the shape of a bird. I srsly doubt he’s either raven or heron....
His armor was hard to sketch, hard to outline and hard to colour. In future, I’ll only draw him naked... oh yeah…

Stefan: CONFIRMED as lion branded. His ending title says it all and his jap. name makes it obvious who his ancestor was: Soan, the beast laguz hero of Ashera and founder of the Gallian tribe (Stefan’s name in jap. is Soanvalcke).
I kinda like alot how he came out. The yellow in his hair looks good...(as if that’s all that counts)

Micaiah: CONFIRMED as heron branded. Btw, I want to point out that Sanaki could be, but DOESN’T have to be a branded. The brand shows up rather randomly on someone who comes from a laguz-beorc relationship.
Failcaiah in the center. I don’t like her because she likes to get herself killed in my playthroughs, personality-wise I like her though. Can’t deny her the center position since she’s the main protagonist and the heron fitted best to this pose. But I like how the lights came out.

Soren: CONFIRMED as black dragon branded which is badass. The center-trio are all descendants to the chosen heroes of the goddess Ashera. Somehow ironic, but absolutely awesome!
You know, sometimes I fantasize that in a century or two Soren’s able to transform because of whatever reasons(advanced feral drugs maybe?), and then he spits thunderbolts, lava and tornados at people’s heads. Haaah… The bottomless pit of my head…

Petrine: NOT COMFIRMED AS RAVEN BRANDED. Kinda hard to explain… I think she is a somewhat cowardly and insincere person. Her death, her clinging to life and power somehow made me associate her with ravens. It’s also power and fear that makes her stay on Ashnard’s side, not some knight’s loyalty or love for Daein. That and from all laguz she hates ravens the most. Admittedly, my arguments are wacky, but hey! This is a fanart. I wanted a Quintet, I wanted Petrine and I thought Ravens fitted her the best.
Creative Freedom! Best argumentation ever!! A+
I love how she’s all “IMMA GRILL U” and Soren next to her is . Btw, noticed a part of the Daein flag?
