Watched this: https://youtu.be/epcLeOr6xb0?si=JiYGn-nW1Sj3yJij Video and wanted to paint a sky similar to it to get better at clouds and stuff and it looked so pretty that I decided to put the two in there aswell
It just turned 12 pm and I'm just rambling lmao, hope I get more motivation to draw them in the future
So after playing through Project Wingman and giving it some thorough thought, I have arrived at what I think is the ultimate headcannon for Monarch's personality.
It's literally just Pixy from ace combat zero.
Down to the last minute detail I think it'd be a perfect match, they are both mercenary aces and as a further proof of how damn good this idea is, here's this video to confirm it.

Just look at it, how his dialogue manages to not only get under crimson 1's skin, but also be completely and utterly ideologically opposed to it.
There is no way that this wouldn't work:
Crimson 1: "The Federation fought for peace in this war, and you denied them that-"
Pixy: <<while you're up here fighting for peace tons of blood is being shed on the ground! Some peace...>>
These lines of dialogue are completely unrelated but they fit together like lock and key, it's beautiful, and look at this one.
Crimson 1: "how does it feel to not have a country, to not have borders to define yourself against the world"
Pixy: <<Can you see any borders from here? What have borders given us>>
And my favorite one, because it leaves the seething red boy completely in ruins:
Crimson 1: "THIS IS MY HOME."
Pixy: <<is that right? Just look at the view>>
Which is absolutely delicious since the landscape you're currently fighting in is a burning orange city hot after getting shelled with UltraNukes that were dropped by crimson.
Overall it's just great and I am incorporating this into my view of this game
The Girls, inspired by the female versions of @mt10lt20
Cipher especially looks so evil in this lmao, but I like the single colour background, I don't usually just put a bright colour in it but this one really works.
I should do it more often
