Oh yeah Luca's art reflection:
Had no idea how to translate the details on the clothes
I think I did a good enough job for my sprite size
I'm happy with this but I'm also just happy to have gotten it done in less than 2 weeks

I WANT TO AT LEAST FORM GREATER ARMENIA COME ON

Also if you have any questions about my campaign feel free to ask them!!
Sadly I don't know whether I can continue it BECAUSE MY GAME KEEPS CRASHING IN 976
I TRIED TO CHANGE THE DATE IN THE FILE TO 977 BUT NOPE IT SAYS FILE CORRUPTED NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED UGH

Anyway this is the first pixel art in my series where I draw at least one character from every CK3 campaign I play so that my 500+ hours of playtime amount to something at least

At the same time the Seljuks are still occupying historical Armenian land
ALSO WHY DO I HAVE TO CONTROL *ALL* OF GREATER ARMENIA?
WHY NOT LIKE 60%?
I HATE EMPIRE DECISIONS ON GOD

Perhaps soon Alexander will restore Greater Armenia
However the Arranshahik Dynasty of Alunk is stubbornly refusing to bow to their Armenian brethren to realize the dream of an independent and strong Armenia
Meanwhile Armenians are still living under Roman occupation in northern Cilicia

accepted Armenian hegemony in exchange for keeping Takrīt and being allowed to continue practicing his heathen faith
Someday his people shall recognize the truth
(Also yes Ik in my screenshot he isn't a vassal, that's because my game kept crashing so this is an older save TwT)

After that the Armenian people in their fervor have
pledged themselves to cleanse the heathens and convert them to the righteous Apostolic Faith!
So Alexander took up the holy sword and Antioch, Cilicia, Syria, Jerusalem and even Iraq
Now the Caliph is merely a vassal who has

divide the inheritance upon the different children of the King, so Alexander had to reunite the realm by going to war with his brothers
They kept their lands but not the title of king

conquered Caucasian Albania, Āzarbāyjan(Northern Persia) and Assyria(northern Iraq/Mesopotamia)
However he knew that Armenia could do better, so he named his eldest son Alexander just like Alexander 'The Great'
Alexander has not disappointed
For the Armenians it was custom to

Overall I think it's good although definitely because it's honestly more copied than original
This was exhausting I'll do some smaller sprites again but I do hope this was the first step towards becoming better at larger sprites
I mean I made some before but this one is on another level yk?

Ok but now the actual review:
-Eyes are hard dawg I don't quite like her face
-Shoes are hard
-Arms are hard
-Idk how to shade skirts
-I definitely gotta practice shading hair

However:
-I kinda like the hair
-The gloves go hard
-The outfit ain't bad though it's simple

Now Luca's art review:
First a fun fact: If you zoom in on her skirt you'll notice I sloppily changed a pixel I didn't like because I post these on phone while I make the pixel art on PC and can't be bothered to export it again
There's still some color residue

I don't like him
He'll have a redemption arc one day but he will suffer at least a tiny bit before that
