Link and Orville are not sure how to fix Hylia, she seems fine, just small. They plan to stay at an inn for the night and travel further up death mountain tomorrow. Unless,,

15. How long does an average piece take you to complete? Depending on wether or not i'm in the zone and how complicated it is or how precise I want to be with anatomy and perspective etc, it's everything from 5-6 hours to 30+ hours!
A piece like this took me 10-12 hours, because I was exaggerating the anatomy so much that I didn't have to think about getting it right, but just making it feel right.
But a piece like this took way more than 30 hours, because there's a lot of complicated elements, more characters, and I was doing anatomy sketches of their bodies underneath the armour to get the flow of their bodies right.
(The sketch is a little snippet from my artbook)
Character drawings like this is like 5-6 hours
And a piece like this is 2-3 hours
(last anon) TYSM, i'm just wondering about the sketches of these 2 art because these are my personal fav of yours

I always start out with a super rough sketch where I just lay down the idea to get a feel for whether or not I think the actual illustration can succeed. It's just a few lines, but it's enough for me to decide whether or not I want to continue with it.
After that, I flesh it out a bit and start fiddling with the composition, the weight of the characters and how they're placed, the general size of the image, etc.
I never draw the characters nude first, only if I get stuck on a specific pose. I build on 'blocks' and rely on feeling more than anything. For example, the legs on Raki make no sense if I look at them for too long, but they feel right, and that's enough for me, hah! Sometimes I'll take a reference photo of myself, mostly to understand what my body is doing to achieve a particular pose.
After that, I clean up the sketch so it's ready for lineart, drawing directly on top of those loose lines!
It's the same for the monster drawing! Rough idea first
Then fleshing it out to get a better idea of the composition and how the characters interact with each other and the environment
And a bit more of that
And then I clean it up so it's ready for lineart!
WOO, finally got this ref chart together! the art's actually kinda old by now (I started this back in february) but I didn't feel like redrawing everything outside outfit changes sooooo,,,,,my apologies 😅 here's the main cast! you can find individual refs in this masterpost

Preview of my Dark Link Fierce Deity design because I have too many projects to the point where finishing this whole thing is being put on the backburner atm
The funniest thing about Time and FD for me, is that Time is clearly his Favourite™. Like, every time his mask shows in any game, the only thing it does is a) a power boost* and b) outfit change*. Every time, EXCEPT, when it's being wielded by the hero of time, then it actually works as a transformation mask. If that's not favouritism, idk what it is.
*Some rules may apply.
Time: Guys, I can explain-
Legend: You get god powers? I only get energy beams
Wild: Energy beams? It only gives me an attack boost
Warriors: You guys get stuff besides an outfit change?
LMAO, YEAH!
It's so so funny, you get it anon. The potential for shenanigans is huge

Recently watched episode 6 of the Legend of Zelda : Hero's Purpose from @MajorLinkSean (X), I didn't have enough tears to cry, so here goes
My love for their friendship will never stop growing. Link the forgiving boy, with his little loser pal
Hes not letting that guy rest, Link has to know he found a golden scarab two hours ago and ate it.
Im sick with what i hope is just a head cold today so i started a new playthrough of Tears of the Kingdom and it’s still funny to me how the first bit of clothing Link gets is a little skirt. Someone at nintendo knows what the internet wants haha
I surprisingly didn’t have a lot of fun drawing these ?? They turned out aight but the process is usually what I enjoy most ,, ALSO AUUGHHH I wanted to draw soo many of my fav ships but only had motivation for these 2 in the end ,,, Malink is miss you 💔 Midzelink I’m sorry 💔
Anyway, for the Groozelink pose I heavily referenced this drawing btw !!!
This is not only my favorite game but my favorite thing in the entire world and I will claw and scream and bleed until everyone knows it
