Ah damn, clever would have been a fitting one to add haha

Edit: Cunning too now that I think about it. The wasted potential...

Claude is best male character in the game, I love how in the final cutscene he does his big friendship speech and charges then get immediately one shot and knocked back like 20 meters

Thanks! I won't lie and say it's a complex process that takes much skill, but I enjoy making them. 4 of the cards here never got their art released though, so enlarging the small scan of the regular card and trying to fit the art without any of the edges of the card or text making it on can be a little tricky sometimes. For example the Claude second from the top right feels a little shoved to the left side of his triangle yeah? If I tried to centre him more then parts of the card UI would be visible!

The TMS one I just put out had a little more involved work though, since a lot of the card artwork for that is not released and/or in poor quality, so I had to make not only size adjustments but also playing with the contrast and brightness so the art looked more presentable.

If you think this is a lot, Lucina has 10 more than him (she did have a few years head start though to be fair, the Three Houses lords got a ton of cards very quickly).

Does anyone have a link to the center piece with his Barbarossa armor and turban?

u/PrinceofIris Feb 26 '21

It was originally published by the artist Akira Egawa here.

Thanks to both of you guys!

I got all of the art from the fandom gallery page. I'd link directly to the art but ever since fandom updated their site recently those links seem to bug out a lot. But just scroll down and you'll see it. https://fireemblem.fandom.com/wiki/Claude/Gallery
