Refining the gerudo concept... Urbosa and @grooviestsadpapaya's best boy Bestir

I'm realizing that A) The tusks soften the face considerably for some reason and B) I still like the really strong Nose

Thought I’d go ahead and post these guys individually. I haven’t been super motivated lately but I should be putting out the first chapter soon. I just haven’t really been happy with SOH and so I’ve kept restarting but I think I have a good starting point :] thanks for sticking around <3

I KNOW I just posted my other character sheet like two months ago, but I wasn’t happy with some of the art so i uhh yeah. This probably won’t get a ton of interaction bc of that but that’s okay. Here’s some of the refs I have been working on, full lineup probably not soon but I can have hope. Some lineart is from the old refs but that’s cuz I didn’t necessarily see anything wrong with them? But yeah. There will be more. Soon-to-be-on-the-lineup people will be under the cut. I’ll probably update and reblog this as I add characters.

On the lineup: Bestir, Sheik, Link, Roomr, Valor, Remedy, Merry, Lore, Caprice, Ardor, Rutea, Ashei

Soon to be on the lineup (buckle up): Sable (sage), Kass (resistance), Penn (resistance), Malon (resistance), Shad (resistance), Linebeck (resistance), Paya (resistance), Auru (resistance/dead sage), Medli (dead sage), Mikau (dead sage), Darunia (dead sage), Saria (dead sage), Impa (dead sage), Dawne (dead sage), Rhoam (good king), Maldia (hyrule queen), Hilda (violet princess), Kolo (Gerudo shadow), Gemo (Goron shadow), Helm (Rito shadow), Wake (ancestor), Calamity (ancestor), Past (ancestor), Warden (ancestor), Major (ancestor), War (ancestor), Memory (ancestor, kinda), Vaati (villain >:}), Yuga (villain >:}), Zant (villain >:}), Ghirahim (villain >:})

My eepies :[

I’m getting these guys’ designs ready for animation! Also just to simplify for the comic :] featuring traumatized teenager, demon lord reincarnated as a small child, and tall bitch who is actually short compared to everyone else of his kind. Please bully him for it.

Begging on my hands and knees, anything about your ganondorf. He is adorable and i will protect him with my life

OOO ofc <333

So Ganon is a super sweet little guy. Weird sentence I know. BUT aside from that he gets very frequent dreams in which he meets with Din. According to him he has had these dreams like once a month from birth for thirteen years. Din, unlike her sisters, is a very kind and mature goddess and gives Ganondorf ✨life advice✨. We will get to her though, not now. Ganon has a huge aversion to violence because he experienced it so so much as a little kid with the Hylian military occupying Gerudo town years before it collapsed. Which leads me to his relationship with Sheik. They don’t like each other. Because of Sheik’s background with the Royal Family, they are really irked when they see a male Gerudo, despite him being a child. Just a cute little fella. Cute little guy. But Ganondorf is like super kind and forgiving to Sheik despite their attitude towards him. He is really close to Link though and is trying his best to make Link less of a war criminal. They got like a father-son thing going on, it’s great. But yeah, any further than that and I kinda go into spoiler territory lol

i went down a rabbit hole of your au like a month ago and I still have brainrot from it like holy crap man I think about it everyday I literally start kicking my legs whenever I see an update why am i like this

but anyways, the various species in your au have caught my interest for a while. Since I’m assuming this takes place somewhere after totk I’m wondering how the other races have come back into play (like the zonai, twili, etc)

also is bestir actually a reincarnation of demise in this au or did he just coincidentally end up with the triforce of power?

luckily for you I am also starved of human interaction :)

First of all aw :] tanks <3333

I’m glad you like my little guys! The Twili live in the depths of Hyrule, supersuper deep underground, alongside the Shadows and some weird flora and fauna. Zant rules over them, using the brutality of the Shadows to act as like a uhhh. Really shitty law enforcement system. They typically get to around 13 ft tall and 115 lbs on average (they are super light). They can communicate in secrecy via the intensity and rhythmic flashing of their bioluminescence. Kinda like uhh if you’ve read Wings of Fire they’re like Seawings. They have a similar lifespan to Zoras, if not longer. Here’s a sketch if you don’t know what they look like, I don’t post about them a lot. They usually have livestock and live vegetarian lifestyles due to frequent food shortages. The way they got into the depths (I refer to them as the Chasms in soh, jsyk) is a spoiler so :] I cry everytime

So the Zonai are a bit spoiler-y if I talk about them too much but they are like. The opposite of the Twili. They are very technologically sophisticated and independent but not very agriculturally advanced and live in the sky. Instead of fearing Kargaroks like the people of the surface do, they worship them. They live alongside the ooccoo. Yeah, the tiddy birds. I gotta design them too. Damn.

The Kokiri and Koroks live alongside one another, the Kokiri acting more like guardians of the forest rather than peaceful inhabitants. They look hella scary but are generally kindhearted and pure. They are… also spoilery.

And yes Bestir is an incarnation of Ganondorf! Instead of falling into the divine influence of Demise, he favors Din because that’s just what his moms taught him. Idk it’s confusing I’m not great at storytelling

[grooviestsadpapaya]

Ooooo tell me about you zelda au because it looks very interesting if you don’t mind

Ofc! I have a pinned post that I need to update that does a meh job of summarizing the plot, but I’ll try to keep it brief :]

So like, Link, Sheik, and Bestir aka Babyganondorf have got a lot of problems to deal with,,, uhhh Sheik and Bestir are running away from the Royal Family and they’re also trying to prevent a war between the Hylians and Everyone Else (minus the Gorons, they’re chill). The Hylians have been really upset with the Gerudo because they think that they are harboring the Demon King (which kind of but not really) and everyone else has been defending the Gerudo. Really the Royal Hylians are trying to murder a child and everyone else is like “Hey! Stop that! Not cool!” Lots of drama that the comic will cover.

Sheik is like highkey strugglin. They got a burnt face because their mom didn’t like their hair color,,,

Link’s gotta deal with stupid stuff in the Chasms (yes I ripped it from TotK). Because that’s,, where he lives :] The Chasms in SOH aren’t like terrifying dark horrible places, they house the Twili. The reason they don’t live in the Twilight Realm is yet to be discovered *rubs hands together evilly*. Anyways Link aka Twilink is really sad. His wife was killed by his former colleagues when she was protecting his daughter and so he is now a single dad which is sad. He has to get his daughter away from his former colleagues because they are stirring up issues and trying to resurrect Demise or whateva. He. Bites peopl because he has parasite (It’s the Twilit Insects from TP. So basically SOH Link is like uhh Fyrus. He was a normal Hylian dude before he got fuckkn bited.)

There are also the Sages which are nothing like TotK they’re just band nerds.. Anyways they get killed by Yuga so they have to give their divine instruments to snot faced kids who are very lovely and nice,, and,, plagued by visions,,,

That probably makes no sense which is why the pinned post on my blog will brobably be better to check out :,] I wish I was better at explaining I’m sorry :,]
