Fire Emblem: Awakening artist reveals his favorite character, explains his role in Tharja's figurine
A portion of an MTV interview with artist Yusuke Kozaki ...
MTV: Who's your favorite character in "Fire Emblem: Awakening"?
YK: Lucina. "Fire Emblem" was already a famous series to begin with. I was designing characters based on what came before, but I've also had the opportunity to put my interpretation into it. Lucina is memorable to me because she felt like she was truly a Yusuke Kozaki-"Fire Emblem" collaboration.
MTV: There's that rather provocative figure of "Fire Emblem: Awakening's" Tharja. How were you involved in the creation of that figure?
YK: I was involved in the rough sketch of the pose. Then the sculptor came back to me with a mock-up, after which I provided constructive critiques. While I wasn't involved in the production, I was directly involved in the design and artistic direction.
