Sketch Page a Day 22: Grief. I think about this every time I post an update and it hasn't gotten easier over time. To be honest, it's been a struggle updating it and engaging with other Zelda fans because of it.

@maldreathezora really kept me engaged with the fandom and I don't think I've been able to fully recover since we lost her in June.

I made some Echoes of Wisdom art on my art blog!

Sketch Page a Day 4-5! Two crucial feminine icons. By the way, Echoes of Wisdom has been a blast! It was a much-needed installment after Tears of the Kingdom.

Hi, I’m very bad with English so I will write this in French because I’m a French so that can make a fact that you have a fan from France

Je voudrais vous dire que moi aussi j’ai perdue quelqu’un de proche.J’ai perdue ma grand-mère il y a presque 1 an et mon père me disait que l’âme du défunt ne va pas directement à l’au-delà mais il passe habituellement 1 mois sur terre cela veut dire que Faith ou Maldreathezora était avec vous et que ce n’est qu’aujourd’hui qu’elle repose en paix même si parfois lorsque la nourriture tombe cela veut dire que le défunt a faim.Ce que je veux dire est que je comprends cette douleur,c’est une terrible déchirure dont certains se font croire qu’elle encore en vie ou tombe dans une tristesse mais on la fait vivre lorsqu’on se rappelle d’elle,ses sages paroles,ses moments avec,ses souvenirs enfin bref tout ce qui a un lien avec elle et même si ça peut faire mal en se rappelant qu’elle n’est plus parmi nous on a toujours l’impression qu’elle est là.Personnellement j’adore son art comme le vôtre et celui de figmentforms et s-kinally.Vous m’avez inspiré à faire mon propre comic et son œuvre <<A new calamity>> va inspirer d’autres et elle a marqué toute la communauté zelda parce que oui il y en a même en France ce que je veux dire qu’au final et que cette douleur est terrible mais après la pluie le beau temps et un avenir radieux arrivera.

This is really sweet. <3 My French is limited, but Google Translate was a big help with this. Thank you so much for your thoughtful message. <3

I don't think I've commented before but welcome back. I'm really looking forward to how they'll cope with the loss of Impa, especially after I lost one of my closest family members earlier this year. Grief is a terrible feeling but it's incredibly cathartic to have people and stories to share that feeling with.

Thank you. Grief has been a big inspiration behind the comic since the beginning so it means a lot to hear that. I'm really sorry to hear about your loss -- I know we're no strangers to grief recently either. Grief is a journey that looks different for everyone so we wish you a peaceful recovery through it. <3
