2P HRE by =Galahawk

Yeah, I went ahead and hopped on this bandwagon.

My own 2P design for Holy Roman Empire.

People seem to have a lot of fun designing these so I gave it a shot; and since my favorite character has an official 2P design while I have NEVER seen a design, on the other hand, for my second favorite. I was listening to “Hellfire” yesterday on repeat and this just sort of happened.

The outfit was so hard to design, I drew inspiration from different portraits of Holy Roman Emperor Otto I. I mixed and matched different features and came up with a design I was satisfied with. ( ref 1 ref 2)
I wanted to give him some sort of headwear but nothing really stuck out so I just decided against it. Since the regular HRE’s outfit, according to Himaruya, is based on that of philosophers, I wanted to make this design a bit more warrior-esque.

Since my inspirational music was Hellfire, I’m sure you can get a grasp of what personality I imagine him to have.
