before TOTK, this was Zonai 🤭 now, i'm not so sure. it is simply Warlike tribe and i think, very cool 😝
I forgot this drawing existed. I lineart last year, but only colour it last weekend. 🤣
Meeting the Dragons! Link must prove himself to each of the dragon spirits so they will help him on his journey and he can claim their Secret Stones. Hopefully, with their power, he can muster up the ability to defeat a deity, Demise.
Lanayru is not impressed with how little he knows at first, being the spirit of Wisdom, and mourns that it must be a child on which they all rely to strike down such a powerful evil. Link gains her respect as he learns and grows along his journey.
Eldin only cares about those who prove themselves enough to be interesting to him, as most mortals are too weak and short lived for them to deem worthy of their attention. While he cares not for Link’s gentle character, he does respect his warriors nature and ability to enact ruthless ends on his enemies.
Faron is very kind after he is revived and finds a kinship with him as the spirit of Courage, standing up against impossible odds. He guides Link and admires his cleverness and daring, while appreciating Link’s respect to all innocent creatures around him.
new outfits for sorrel and faron :-) half in anticipation of lightfall and half. i mean. big outfit changes are a must if character development is/was happening i think right....
The Dragon Spirits! It was very fun seeing how I’d combine the look of the dragons from Skyward Sword and Tears of The Kingdom, they are so different.
They’d be a little confusing in this au, since their elements don’t line up perfectly in between games. Ignore the notes of the first slide, I was trying to figure out how Lanayru and Faron would work with their regions basically being opposite!
Lanayru would be the spirit of Wisdom with the element of water. She is a strict teacher and does not tolerate ignorance or laziness, so it’s a bit of bad luck for Link to come across her first in his journey at the Lanayru Great Spring.
Eldin would be the spirit of Power with the element of fire. They’d seem laid back at first until it becomes clear that they are simply uncaring for mortal lives that mean so little to them, only respecting those that stand out among the crowd.
Faron would be the spirit of Courage with the element of lightning. Once guardian of a vast jungle, his domain was the first to be destroyed in the initial war against Demise, as his love of mortals led them to congregate there in the lush land and invent amazing technology with electricity. He is deeply kind and grandfatherly, carrying with him a sadness for all that has been lost.
Levias would be the last spirit, that of Hylia and the element of wind. He is calm and jovial, content to let the bustle or mortals pass him by. While not a dragon himself, Levias would still be powerful enough to produce a Secret Stone like the dragons, granting Link the power to confront Demise.
Lanayru the Thunder Dragon (Skyward Sword) and Hyrule (LOZ I & II + Linked Universe) develop a friendship. They can only see each other when the Chain is in Sky’s era, of course, but that doesn’t mean Rulie can’t have another parent. Grandpa Lanayru is more than willing to take care of him.
Old simple background study I forgot to post! Inspired by Studio Ghibli, Faron Woods (SkSw), and the work of @newtsnaturethings! (Go look at newt's stuff omg)
It's a bit outdated now (it's at least two months old), but I think it shows I'm getting somewhere from here.
