Ike Concept Art

[4] Ike’s initial weapon “Ettard.” Though often overshadowed by Ragnell, you can see the delicate features of the sword and belt’s design here.

[6] The divine sword Ragnell. Aside from the golden blade, it shares its design with the divine sword Alondite.

[5] Three views of Ike as a “Hero.” His physique and equipment has gotten bigger, but his bandana is the same one from three years ago.

[7] Three views as a “Vanguard.” His armor and equipment has become more splendorous. His cape is more fluid, too.

I said to Lord Pent, “My skill is with the bow.” And then… “My sweet lord, if you choose me, I will protect you to life’s end.”

crafting these costumes was such an endeavor for me as a seamstress, and I’m honestly really happy with the results. I pushed really far outside my comfort zone myself on craft, detail work, and palette. 

I’ve been on the internet since 1998 starter pack

Reblog this if you are an old fogey online

The unholy shrieking of the dial-up modem

The computer hanging up on the internet when someone called

How damn long everything took to load

Having multiple windows open in the task bar because there was no such thing as a tabbed browser

IRC bots 

The frantic search for the midi player when a  webpage started playing music

Putting videos on to download overnight
