FE: Ike and Princess Elincia

I drew this very last minute (5 days ago) for the 's "Loyalty" Contest. I didn't hear about the contest until I saw an update extending the deadline SO here is my entry the day before it ends! XD Well...night before! Even worse!
I worked my butt off on this so I hope it goes over well! I have never entered a group contest before so I'm quite nervous!

I love Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. It's such a great story and journey. I love Ike's loyalty. I just think the theme loyalty suited him very well. He stuck with The Princess of Crimea till the very end and protected her no matter what, getting himself involved in a war he could have stayed out of and putting his life on the line.


Wooooow I am now noticing many colouring fails and drawing fails in this picture XD I really appreciate all the positive feedbakc though! I might try to edit the colour fails at least even though I didnt save a photoshop version x__x
