A collection of Anakin doodles I've gathered as I worked on other art. I gave Anakin horns and fins that represent side burns. I want him to look more related to Feta, so now I'm trying to get the hang of drawing his horns.

TabooWood is only 4 seasons long; each season dedicated to one school year of highschool. Starting with the first day of school in the 9th grade, to ending in the 12th grade when they all graduate.

Words cannot express how much I love these two games. Psychonauts 2 being my #1 favorite game.

Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

aka "the 2nd greatest movie ever made."

It's such a good movie! I LOVE IT!

Brian Dog, the school bully.

Got a little self-indulgent.

Lexi is my next favorite. She's an uppity mean girl with a lotta attitude.

"TabooWood" follows Eli, Alan, and Fermina throughout high school in a nonsensical city named TabooWood.

It's crazier and sillier than "The Villainz Side" (and older, too).

My favorite character is Teddy. She's an insufferable gremlin that deserves to be the punching bag. There's something about how pathetic and gross she is that's fun to draw.

Kobe has a crush on Cass from the beginning, but Cass only sees Kobe as a good friend. I want their romantic relationship to naturally build up through the seasons, not rushed.

[pocheezy]

More info on the "Introduction to the Nniw Embassy" episode.

We have Lillian, Cass's mildly obsessed fling. She tags along with the group and taunts Kobe (she is extremely jealous of other women around Cass). We also have Cass's parents. Her loving/demanding mother and chill/coward father.

Secret Gerudo cults? Ganondorf? Mass homicide? A Super Mario Sunshine reference? What's going on with the Gerudo?

The Problem for the Gerudo: there is a secret cult of traitor Gerudo that still worships Ganondorf and prays for his return. They are planning to kill Noura, Noura's two daughters, and the whole town of Gerudos. With this they hope it will quicken the evil King's return. They seem delusional.

Noura is trying to handle this threat herself, so she isn't interested in Link's help. 

NOURA: I told your King and Queen I DIDN'T NEED HELP!

Link is startled.

NOURA: Plus, how can a Zora help? You can't even survive out here in the desert.

Link stretches his arms out and shrugs, displaying his water bottles and the fact that he's here talking to her.

NOURA: ...You're an exception... BUT I STILL DON'T WANT YOUR HELP!

During daylight, Noura is outside of Gerudo town commanding guards. You can't enter the town at all since you’re a dude. If you try to enter the town the guards will stop you and tell you to screw off, but Noura will hurt you. She’s tired of all the men sneaking around trying to sneak a peek at the women. If Noura catches you, she will grab you by your head, tail thing and toss you far away from the town. Kind of like the chucksters from Super Mario Sunshine.

Link still tries to help by investigating into this cult by himself. Any clues or events that appear, he tries to report it to Noura. She isn't happy about your presence, but she begins to trust your evidence over the duration of the quests. When y'all eventually find a way into their hideout and what their big plan is, you and Noura team up and start the dungeon quest. The dungeon is located beneath the desert. You go through the dungeon stuff highlighted in Noura’s first bio.

At the end of the dungeon, you and Noura find the cult trying to summon something. You attempt to sneak around, but Noura rushes in and attacks them. This triggers a boss fight between you and the leader of the cult. While you’re fighting the leader, the other cult members are trying to kill you. Noura is fighting these members alongside you. If any members try to attack you when you get the chance to attack the leader, Noura tackles them off the screen.

After the fight with the cult, the summoning was still completed by an old Gerudo who was hiding from the commotion. The old Gerudo falls over and dies, giving her last bit of energy for the summoning. A huge Stalfos with 4 arms rises from the desert sand and is headed for Gerudo town to destroy it. It's nighttime during this fight, and there is a timer counting down. You must defeat the boss before it reaches Gerudo town. If you don’t, you’ll have to start this part all over again.

You and Noura climb the Stalfos. The Stalfos has 6 weak points, you must navigate to these points and destroy them. You do this all while trying not to stumble/fall off.

Halfway through the process, Gerudo guards (unaware of you and Noura) travel to the Stalfos and start shooting projectiles at it. You and Noura are in the line of fire. Noura yells out at them to stop, of course they can't hear her. Noura exclaims, "YOU IDIOTS!" after an arrow barely misses her head. Now for the rest of the fight, you must dodge arrows as you climb and walk on the huge Stalfos. Noura tries to help you by using her shield to protect you from the projectiles as you attack the weak points. Once you destroy all the weak points, the Stalfos crumbles, and you and Noura escape before y'all are crushed.

A big celebration/party happens in the town. You can dance with some Gerudos, eat and drink, play games, and chat. You can even convince Noura to dance with you if you ask enough. After the party, Noura becomes your companion and allows ONLY YOU (the only male) to travel into Gerudo town. Opening all the quests in the town. 

Deppi, Hermiker, and Prince Link can't enter with you. When you're entering Gerudo town, an exclamation point will appear over Deppi's head and he'll fearfully run to some shade and sit there. Hermiker will just slowly walk to the shade and sleep. Prince Link will try to enter with you, but the guards will grab him and toss him to the shade to sit down. When you leave Gerudo town, walk to them and ask them to follow you. Of course Essia can enter, she's a girl.

SIDE NOTE:

I'm pretty sure, if anything were to come of this game (and that's a very slim chance), the character designs should be improved. From the main characters to the NPCs. I can definitely see Noura's design being improved. Maybe more accessories and/or details. A better hair style. I still want to keep her middle aged, hairy, muscle bound, bruteness intact. Plus, I still like her body shape, she just needs something more. This is all concept art, everything is a rough-ish idea.

I also see how the overall story needs refining and some redoing. The Antagonist definitely needs improving, as well. Like giving them a better motivation and design.

Zelda also needs some reworking. I like the whole flower/garden bee and butterfly aesthetic going on with her. She just needs a better design and face.

Impa, too. I should make her more slim yet still muscular. Her breasts are too big in my opinion. Flatten her chest and make her slim, not a long abdomen like Prince Link, but just skinnier. I want her to be the opposite of Noura.

More info on Noura, because up next we're going to go over the problem plaguing the Gerudo region. (Since I didn't specify what it was before)

Noura is a stubborn, obtuse, brutish, warrior. She prefers to use intimidation and strength to get her way in the battlefield, and in life. She is blunt to everyone, no matter their class or if they have nobility. She is proud of herself and her people. Encouraging the Gerudo to stand strong, even in the face of the evil plaguing the Gerudo desert. 

Noura isn't the smartest among the other companions, but she sure is the strongest and bravest. When she meets the other companions halfway through the game, she isn't impressed. They look like a ragtag team of misfits. How are we supposed to save Hyrule with a snooty fish, a lazy old Goron, a featherbrained Rito, and a puny little Deku scrub? Impa feels the same way about the group. But Noura quickly learns to trust Link, I guess they did help Link defeat the evil in each of their home regions. She still has her doubts, though.

Noura is the leader of the Gerudo. She spends her time protecting Gerudo Town, overseeing Gerudo affairs, caring for her daughters, and training. She loves to fight monsters, it really gets her frustrations out. She prefers to slash and crush. When the time comes, she can crush a monster's head with one hand. You'll never see it, but others will say she has.

The Gerudo of Gerudo Town respect Noura. They have their own opinions on her, but respect is at the forefront. The older Gerudo thinks she lacks elegance or dignity. The younger Gerudo are intimidated by her. The average Gerudo thinks she's doing a good job, albeit a bit aggressive.

Noura has two daughters. They're both preteens and twins. Noura is very protective of her daughters. She can be stern and disciplinary when needed, but mostly she is doting and loving to them. I don't have names for the twins yet, and I don't have an idea for their personalities at the moment. I just know that they play and fight like typical sisters. You can probably do a quest for them, but only if you don't have Noura following you (it's a secret!).

Noura is intimidating to most people and some monsters. She can scare low level bokoblins away. Funny since she has a pet bokoblin. After her daughters, her bokoblin is next in line to receive her caring, doting love. It loves cookies, so she pays whichever Gerudo baker is available to bake some for it. 

Noura is painfully aware of Prince Link's attraction to her. She's kinda intimidated by the fact someone genuinely finds her charming and potentially romantical. She acts as if she finds Prince Link's acts of flirtation annoying, but really she is flattered by it. She doesn't like to show affection (except when it comes to her children and pet). Although she tries to hide her feelings with aggression, you can still catch her blushing. During these slight moments, I imagine if you try to look at her face (through Link's perspective), she'll turn her face away. You can move the camera and look at her face for yourself.

When traveling with Noura, you'll grow closer. As long as you're traveling with a companion, you'll grow closer to them, which in turn will make them grow stronger in their skills and stats. You can even gift them a selection of decorative clothing and armor to wear. When they leave your side, they'll go back to their default clothing. If you want them by your side again, you can re-equip the clothes and armor you gave them. ANYWAY, when traveling with Noura, she can become homesick. In these moments, if talked to, she'll tell you that she misses her daughters. Although it hurts her to be away from her daughters for so long, she still wants to help you fight for the future of Hyrule and her daughters. These feelings can appear at random.

Castle Town is in the center of Hyrule. Because of this, it is a busy town ripe for exploration and quest seeking.

Hyrule Castle and its town is located near the center of the map. Castle Town is a lively, busy, crowded place full of so much to explore and interact with. Every race is here relaxing, working, playing, and visiting. 

Zora hang out by and in the great fountain at the town square; an old racist Hylian looks disappointed that these fish are desecrating such a beautiful old fountain with their "filth". Everyone tries to ignore the old fool. A band plays and sings in the town square as residents and visitors dance together.

Vendors line the streets as they try to call for Link's attention, you can buy from them. You can buy tools, weapons, food, etc. There are many different stores to enter and shop at or receive quests from. References to older stores from OOT and TP will be present. Deppi can even show you a secret miniature train bar where a bunch of Deku scrubs hang out. In the middle, a Deku scrub train conductor watches and plays with their model railroad system. The huge model surrounds them as they pull on ropes and levers to change the course of their miniature trains. You receive quests from them to collect more trains for their model; at the end you receive a piece of heart. 

Guards patrol the blocks. A thief can pickpocket you if you're not careful. They can even steal an important item from your inventory. When they steal rupees, you can choose whether or not you want to get it back. If they steal an important item, a mini quest will appear where you have to get it back. You can also help people from getting mugged. In return for helping them, you can get rewards. 

Various children play in the park as their parents watch over them and converse. A Goron sells spring water to a curious crowd and thirsty Zoras. Rito sit on the rooftops overlooking everything. Deku scrubs hide in the alleys afraid of getting stepped on. Gerudo tower over crowds. A Hylian is on a date with a Rito in a romantic restaurant, their parents look on in disapproval from separate tables. Dogs and cats roam the streets and alleys, you can play with and pet them.

I’d love a bustling Castle Town that highlights the interactions between each race. I want the player to be overwhelmed with the possibilities and vibrance of this booming town.

Let's go over the different races' basic information.

Zora and Rito are back to regular Hylian height. I want their heights to differ on what kind of fish or bird they are based on. Zora based on normal sized fish are an average height. If a Zora is based on an anchovy, then they should be shorter. If based on a great white, they should be taller. Here's an example. Prince Link is based on an oarfish, so he will be taller than most Zora. NOT ridiculously tall, but still taller, not enough to reach Gerudo height. This same logic applies to the Rito.

Zora no longer have a ridiculous lifespan. I understand the significance of that decision in BOTW, but this isn't BOTW. In ocarina of time, they aged the same as Hylians. It's simpler to work with. With the whole aging difference, I thought it had weird complications with romance. An example, dating a Zora that is 30 yrs old, which is an adult age in our years, but that's still a kid in Zora years. I'd rather not deal with that mess. SO back to normal lifespans for the Zora.

Rito do typical Rito things. Archery, delivering mail, etc. Hylians are the same as usual, too.

The Gorons and Gerudo should be taller than the other races. Goron heights and sizes may differ from Goron to Goron, but on average they should be taller. We can come across a tiny pebble of a Goron; shorter Gorons like in Twilight Princess. They can survive underwater for a long time, but they can't swim. They sink like a rock. There's a quest where you find one trapped underwater, and try to help him get out.

Gerudos should always be taller compared to a Hylian, Zora, or Rito. The situation can vary when a Zora is based on something like a whale shark (which would be rare, but still not ridiculously tall). Typically, Gerudos are TALL, like 8ft. Gerudos are also typically strong and muscular, but there are exceptions. I don't want the Gerudo to be so focused on men. I know they need to find Hylian men to continue their race, but that shouldn't be their whole prerogative. For most of them, it's important at some point in their life, but I want them to talk about other stuff. To not be so flustered at the thought or sight of men. A few still would, but not all of them.

There are also Gerudo pirates that pillage any coastal villages. There's a whole quest where you can stop them. This is my response to how disappointing the pirate side adventure was in TOTK. Anyway, Some Zora are fascinated by these attractive, violent, pirate women who would probably kill them for 20 rupees. The regular Gerudo don't approve of these pirates. Noura outright loathes them, and has sent soldiers to dispose of them, to no avail.

Deku scrubs are the shortest of the races. I'd say they average at 2-3ft, but can reach 4ft. They live in the jungle, some Deku scrubs attack you from their bulbs, camouflaged within the native plant life. They're the most anxious race, and I wouldn't blame them. They're small in a world full of big people and monsters. Unlike the Kokiri/Koroks, they can't maneuver throughout the world invisible, so they're easy targets. For a pint sized plant, they are exploding with fear, anger and all types of emotions. Not all of them of course, but it's enough to notice a pattern.

I don't know which version to use, Kokiri or Koroks? Maybe both? Whatever version I use, they are only seen in the Lost Woods, near the Great Deku Tree, or around the whole vicinity. Kokiri act as lost children and guide you through the Lost Woods to the Deku Tree. Koroks are tending to the Deku Tree while the Kokiri travel around the woods. There are Skull Kids too, but they lead you to traps or pranks. This puts you back at the beginning of the woods. So to recap, the Kokiri/Koroks and Skull Kids are all in the great forest and Lost Woods. As of now, you'll rarely see them outside of that. Everything is subject to change.

The next smallest race would be the Minish, but you'll never get to see them. Only children can point out that Minish are in the room or around here. Ayrll can also bring up to Link that she saw Minish taking toys from her room. You of course don't believe her, but you entertain her. Yet, the environment is still affected by them. You are in a library in Castle Town when you notice a book fall off a shelf. You can put it back, but it'll keep falling off when you turn your back. You can also find strange gatherings of pots, crates, and toadstools in different hidden locations throughout the world. These are their villages. You can't interact with them.
