You make me wanna chew on Bazz in the most positive way possible

>:)

I wanted to draw teen Sidon and Bazz hanging out in Sidon's room, so it was a good moment to finally plan out said room study (that is just a part of his quarters).

It's actually Dorephan’s old quarters, repurposed after he outgrew them. He's responsible for like, half of the clutter, the rest is all Sidon.

Some sketches that will never become anything, so I might as well let them roam free in the wild.

This is why i always try to give you a little unhinged appreciative remark in comments and tags

I really miss it when my own folllwers still let me know they gave a shit instead if just consuming my work

Ill be the change i want to see in the world + you draw the best zora fr fr when i think of zora i think of YOU

And I thank you for your service 🙏

I read and re-read every tag and comment and they always cause me great delight, especially when they are a lil bit unhinged~

And when I'm full of delight, the delight gets ground into fine paste and baked into more zora art, it's a pretty straightforward process 😌

i draw enough pre-calamity and pre-botw zora art that creating a timeline spreadsheet was necessary for my sanity (not posting full size versions bc its still very much a messy wip, just wanted to show you guys the scope)

I prefer to work with canon characters, but sometimes some OCs are unavoidable. Given my focus on pre-Calamity times and the 100 year gap between it and botw, most of the OCs needed are the parents (or more specifically the moms, who nintendo just insists on pretending don't exist).

So here is some of my musings on the possible parent characters. It's all a work in progress, so most don't have names and their designs still fluctuate a bit. Currently the OC roster involves the Zora Queen, Bazz's and Rivan's mothers, Gaddison's parents, Dunma's mother and the previous Zora Guard Captain.

For the queen, I actually don't like the popular name "Sola" that much (language nerd reasons) so that will be changed probably....

It's been a while since I last drew Bazz's fancy captain getup...

current fan creation landscape is kinda like if you went to a party with a homemade cake and everyone takes a slice and silently thumbs up at you with no attempt to start a conversation except for occasionally some guy sits in the corner with a tape recorder critiquing the cake as though he was a restaurant critic and another guy is handing the cake to an uber driver like "yeah i need you to find a restaurant that makes cake like this so i can have more of it" and the only person that's talked to you in 30 minutes is a very sweet little guy who was like "hey i liked your cake" and then ran away apologizing for bothering you the moment you said thank you.

I drew the first image of Link and Bazz drinking and chilling together and then it spiraled

What can I say, I just really like watching these two interact, and I think Bazz is weirdly uniquely qualified to relate to at least some of Link's internal drama.

[gabelew]

Your art is gorgeous. I am enthralled, and I adore your Bazz. ❤️

Uough thank you ❤❤❤

Torfeau (left) and Tottika (right), who canonically are not stated to be related anywhere but everyone kinda agrees they're at least siblings if not twins.

In my Zora canon they're twins (because I think it's funny that Torfeau is super diligent and Tottika kinda just stumbles around awkwardly) and also Extremely Tall (Link for scale). Tottika would look even taller but he slouches and also doesn't work out.

I also consider them to be very young, like an equivalent to 15-16 in Zora terms. In calmer times they wouldn't be allowed in the military for at least couple more years...

Torfeau makes appearances in my zora comics sometimes as Bazz's errand girl, as he considers her very dependable (and she doesn't ask too many questions).

Hello Gabelew !!! I hope you're well. How does your store works ? If I may ? Like, how nad when does it open, close.... I saw pictures from ancients Zora packages and they look AWESOME

Hi! Thank you for the interest (and I hope you don't mind me making this answer public).

I'm only really vending at in-person local events at the moment. Reasons being 1. Some tax related bureaucracy I would like to finalise, 2. Lack of time to manage an online shop and 3. Current,,,,, global trade situation. This tbh being the biggest reason here.

Basically, most of my customer base is US based and I really don't want to ship to the US before I know where I stand in terms of additional costs (both on me and my customer). Great times we're living in. Sorry, my american friends, I am discriminating against you here and its not even your fault.

Anyway! While I currently don't have an official shop, if you're from outside the US and really really really want my merch and you want it now (I do plan on opening the store, I just don't know when exactly this will happen), we can try and figure it out through DMs!

STOP drawing Zora women so beautiful you're making lesbians like me explode /silly

Oh no, that's terrible! I will continue!
