This hair is perfect, I will take no slander upon it. This hair was designed just for me because I spent a good chunk of the second part of Three Houses dealing with Byleth's ugly lime green hair.

Please direct all vitriol to the hill that I will die upon.

> Vtuber Designer

Her Twitter describes herself as "Illustrator/Character designer/Art director"... any illustrator who designed three vtubers is a vtuber designer now?

I mean I'll join your hill in that Byleth (especially F Byleth) had a terrible character design :p

If you ask me, I bet most of us are going to get use to their hairstyles just like how most of us got use to female Byleth's kind of patchy outfit. Surprised

You ain't gonna get hired as a designer by saying you AREN'T a vtuber designer if you have in fact, designed vtubers.

You missed the point. She's an illustrator like any other. You wouldn't call an artist who worked for FGO a gacha game artist.

No wonder the character design doesn't fit Fire Emblem at all, it is great in gacha games and Vtubing where wilder designs are usually better.

"Gacha game artist, Umino Chika" lmao

Speaking about Mika Pikazo work in FE: I love it a lot. As fan of her since 2016 when she done a lot of fgo official/fan works, I'm happy she's so active and constantly blesses us with new works.

It's a shame the dude doesn't have more color on his outfit; he looks awful in in-game footage. The colored shadows and lighting in illustrations makes him look much better.

Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, but I miss the 3DS era where we had some ability to customize our protagonist's appearance.

The incredible Artstyle made me interested in the very blant Fire Emblem Genre for very first time. I will never play it, but the Protags are so sick lookin.
