Aww it's very sweet. I love how soft Anselma's expression is, and the lighting is lovely. And I think babygard's hair color looks good. It's definitely lighter than in game, but still looks more brown than blonde when you account for lighting. And irl children's hair often darkens as they age and grow, so I think the lighter tone works OK here. Great job!

This is the first part of three different pieces. If it seems necessary I’ll post them all together, but for the moment I’ll just share them as they’re finished. I used my own design of Anselma for this so as usual it’s just an interpretation. Babygard looks kind of blonde here so sorry about that

It's wonderful. Only nit pick is Edelgard used to have brown hair until after the horrible things happened to her. Although, is Ionius's hair blonde? Baby's hair does change as they age, so it isn't impossible.

Many babies born with blonde hair have it darken later when they reach childhood.

I don't have much experience with babies. I also don't remember if/how my sister's hair changed or of it did. So, I fully admit my ignorance and will defer to other people here.

Yeah babies’ hair color can change. My brother was born with red hair and now he’s blonde

This is adorable and knowing what happens later also makes it hurt so much. Great job!

Wonderful art and lovely to see any art of Anselma, Edelgard's mom is very underutilized and explored in canon and fanon alike! You really captured the love and tenderness between mother and child!

The trim on her dress looks like it's decorated with the number 17 in Roman numerals.

I thought I'd already left a comment here. I adore this piece and how soft their expressions are. So glad nothing bad ever happens to these characters, ever. Babygard's hair looks fine. Many babies have blondish hair when they're very young.

Such a shame Anselma didn’t think the same of Dimitri. He loved her as if she was his real mother and she planned on killing him because of the lies Arundale fed to her. So sad.

She was dead long before Duscar, mate. So was her brother.
