I FOUND IT

Local artist decides "fuck it, references are hard to find, let's start taking a pic every so often and posting it to tumblr"

All references are free to use without any credit required, but like, feel free to tag me if you use one I wanna see what y'all make.

Everyone's gotta look at this it's gorgeous

Off at shore, new land awaits.

I'm on a roll! Made two more digital paintings with my tablet set to greyscale so I had no idea what the colors would be when it popped out, I'm pretty happy with em!

They were made with two different color noise images and obviously one of them was a LOT more vibrant than the other, but I'm very happy with em! Specifically the Ryoji drawing, I like that quite a bit.

Truly 😔

read shuake and maruki is mischaracterized read any other ship and akechi is mischaracterized why can't i ever win

Ughhhh Wolf was such a pain in the ass to draw man, I think half of it is the pose I picked. Seriously, there were like 4 different sketches and I kept not liking the design. This one is ok, and I might stick with it, but I dunno. His outfit isn't very practical for fighting. Then again, neither are a lot of the others, but I think this one feels the least practical, considering it's a literally a tank top.

Wolf

Twilight Princess

He/him

25

Hylian/Wolf, depending on form

A humble rancher thrown into a complex world of light and shadow, now bearing the marks of the beast he became in his adventure. The mirror of twilight still stands, and while the relations between the world of light and the world of shadow are tense, Wolf will do whatever it takes to keep this tenuous peace. He's going to protect his pack, no matter what.

Note! Wolf's design & personality are the most liable to change, I make no promises about this version of Wolf being the one in the comic

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT COOL ENOUGH FOR YUKARI?? I'm going to riot and return to the only person in this entire school I respect, uhhhhh what was his name again? Scott the woz?

For the record I am doing AU stuff, just not on here anymore

Mask

Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask

He/they

17 y/o (mentally 19)

Hylian (raised Kokiri)

The legendary Hero of Time, first to reveal Ganondorf as a threat to Hyrule. Said to have foresight on exactly what to do next, as if he had experienced this all before. Mask is a rather mysterious figure, having traveled the world for quite some time, looking for a place to belong. When the world comes knocking with the perfect opportunity to reunite with old friends? Well, who is Mask to say no to that?

Plus, for Storm, my LU OC, they'd end up a cat. Very snarky, very cat. Because I will never give up on self inserts because I don't care if it's cringe.

My headcanons for what each link would become when exposed to the shard of twilight/to the dark world and why.

Skyward sword Link (sky): straight up puppy. He's a very friendly, sociable, and loyal Link. Maybe more like a golden retriever

Minish cap Link (minish): Mouse! Very tiny mouse. I think he's generally pretty shy, cautious, so a small rodent would make a lot of sense.

Ocarina of Time/Majora's mask (time): Canon wolf.

ALTTP, Oracles, & Link's awakening (legend): Canon bunny

LoZ I and II (Hyrule): I don't really know em that much but I think dog, maybe even Retriever, like Sky. Mostly based off LU.

Twilight princess (twilight): canon wolf

Four swords adventures: Rats! Since they're very social, could split into a rat pack. Rats can have a very wide range of personalities, like most other pets, but I think they fit Shadow Link a bit more, so by default I go rat.

Wind waker & phantom hourglass(wind): Frog, because I want them to be able to handle both land and water.

Spirit tracks: I got no clue I never played that.

Hyrule warriors (warriors): cat. Very pretty, very opinionated. Will tell you if you're annoying them.

Age of Calamity (Champion, different from post-memory wipe Link): A dog. But now, a very specifically trained dog, like a German shepherd.

Breath of the wild & tears of the kingdom: They're a blupee. If you'd prefer a real animal, a mischievous little rat. But I prefer blupee because he is very much a little blue guy that runs around the forest

Can Yukari not learn Salvation?? I swear I thought she would be able to she's like,, the healing person.
