Mash Kyrielight was first introduced as the main protagonist’s initial servant in FGO, and as the mobile game has soared in popularity so has she. Mash stands as one of the Fate series’ most popular characters to date. She’s a face of the franchise many fans have come to love over the years.
With her level-headedness, kind personality and inclusion in all sorts of Fate related media; it’s not hard to see why that is. Mash is a pseudo servant, and this unique standing has made her sort of stand out from other servants in the series. She’s also become quite popular with fan artists, and you can find some pretty amazing homage’s to her online. These are just a few of them. Here are 10 pieces of Mash fan art you have to see.
10 Mash - ななひめ
Starting things off is a simple, but wholesome portrait. A big part of why Mash is so popular is her kind personality, as well as her playfulness. They’re traits a lot of fans enjoy about her character, and it often comes out in fan art too.
ななひめ draws a slightly reserved Mash in this piece, and while there’s not much going on in the background, you have to appreciate the faithfulness to the original character design.
9 Smile - ムク＠お仕事募集中
FGO is so popular because it has so many different servants. It’s kind of like Pokémon in that every fan can choose their favourite from a pretty sizable list of characters. ムク＠お仕事募集中 draws Mash alongside some of FGO’s other popular servants in their piece.
The art itself looks very nice, and resembles the real deal in terms of quality. There’s a lot going on, and it all nicely comes together.
8 Sleepy Mash - Re岳
Servants are often highlighted for their prowess as fighters, but you can’t learn everything about their personalities just by examining how they are on the battlefield. Mash is unique in that regard, as you see her extensively on and off the battlefield.
As a result, you get to see all sides to Mash’s character. Re岳 looks like they went with the morning look. It’s not the most faltering look of one’s day, but Mash manages to look as adorable as ever. At least, the artist makes it so.
7 Best Friends - 禎波ハヅキ(KZE)
Fou is kind of like a mascot character for Grand Order, and you can pretty much see it anywhere the series is being promoted. The fact that it’s seen with Mash so often is no coincidence either.
Mash and Fou are an inseparable duo, and禎波ハヅキ(KZE) does a great job of showing the camaraderie between the two. The artist manages to draw both wonderfully, and has them come across nicely in this very wholesome piece.
6 Dressed Up - かなぎり
Fans are used to seeing Mash in her servant outfit, and while we do see her in various kinds of casual clothing, the servant look is certainly her most iconic.
かなぎりdraws her in a more elegant sort of attire, and it works beautifully. The dress isn’t the highlight of this piece though. It’s more the wonderful coloring done by the artist that makes it stick out.
5 Chaldea – permafrost
The great thing about Chaldea is you can come up with any mishmash of servants and imagine them together. Here we see Mash and Fou passing some servants by in the halls, but the characters aren’t the highlight here.
This piece from permafrost really stands out because of its beautiful visuals. The colors are perfect. Bright and mesmerizing, they absolutely steal your attention.
4 Summer Mash – Ayul
Summer time is a big season for FGO, as the series runs a number of events. As a result, fans get to see their favourite servants in their summer attire. Mash is no different and has several different looks for the season.
Ayul went with one of those and it works perfectly. The art is nice and wholesome, and the light colors perfectly compliment Mash’s delicate design and expression.
3 Roll Again – LancerAlter
Mash’s kind personality is definitely a big factor in why she’s so beloved by the fans, and this piece by LancerAlter really captures that character trait well.
One new thing in this piece is the addition of Saint Quartz. The FGO summoning currency sparkles just as you’d expect it to. It’s a perfect visual compliment to the rest of this beautifully drawn piece.
2 Battle Ready - さくらもち
Mash is usually pretty docile, but things change once she gets onto the battlefield. This piece by さくらもちperfectly captures that transition.
The thing that stands out the most with this piece is the intensity it depicts. Mash’s determined look is complimented by the sharp red of the background. It certainly grabs your attention and really pops off the screen.
1 The Horizon - 羽廣
You don’t have to be a FGO fan to appreciate this absolutely beautiful artwork. 羽廣 delivers some pretty inspired and work here.
This is less about mash and more about the beautiful scenery depicted. The colors and shading all stands out, and mesh together well to create a truly wonderful and unique visual experience.
