From sunup to sundown, so come out to play”

Oh??? My Gosh!!! This is so amazing!! Now flattered and overwhelmed and on the first day of July too??? I totally spaced it was Fan Joy July but i gotta get in ok this!

Sky THANK YOU so much for writing this! I’m so humbled my art inspired your amazing writing! 💛💛💛💛

In honor of Fan Joy July :D Have some brief Fierce Deity and the Chain, inspired by @maesonc-artistic-adventures wonderful piece of Fierce and Warriors :)

.

It’s the first time Link’s donned the mask in years.

The magic is instantly familiar and terrifying, like trying to breathe in air that’s blasted into one’s lungs at the speed of a hurricane, filling him to the brim with energy. His body is overwhelmed, mind filled with sudden pain and a fear that is not his own, with screams and laughs and memories and history and it’s too much—

Link screams, the magic taking over him entirely, and his voice deepens as he cries, his own consciousness violently shoved into a void of numbness, a blessed release, with just the sentiment of save him echoing in the distance.

The cry vanishes in the air, swallowed by the sounds of clashing swords and snarling beasts, and the Fierce Deity takes in a breath.

It’s the first time he’s been out in years.

Blank, glowing orbs scope out the environment in seconds, accustomed to taking in a disaster in an instant, and he sees four heroes still trying to fight, two huddled around one fallen teenager while another tries to reach someone who likely just got knocked down.

Fierce hardly knows these faces, only wisps of images from his host, but he knows this one.

His double helix blade is out in an instant, carving a path across the battlefield. Black blood stains the grass, like spilled ink over a green canvas, and the other heroes note quickly that a veritable force of nature is heading their way.

The monsters converge on him, recognizing he’s the greatest threat, but as heads and limbs go flying, they flee quickly. He doesn’t give them a chance to go far, stabbing his final opponent in the back, and then he reaches his destination.

He remembers this little soldier, remembers his love and care for Link, his smiles and laughs and yells and anger and courage. He remembers his battles, victories and losses alike.

There is another young one near him, hesitantly watching him, sword at the ready in his grip but tipped off to the side, waiting for the deity to make the first move.

He knows that sword, too, though he hardly knows the one holding it. Still, there’s an aura to this child, like the vague remnants of a perfume of divinity, just enough to get a hint of it.

Fierce flicks his blade with enough power to stir the air, singing as it slices, and the monsters’ blood is off in an instant. He then puts it away.

Hylia’s Chosen relaxes, still watching him. “Old man?”

Fierce doesn’t speak at first. He’s focusing on the captain, kneeling down to look him over. He hardly even recognizes that the other hero is addressing him—how long has it been since someone even acknowledged him rather than shrank from him in fear?—and he realizes the child thinks he’s Link.

He doesn’t bother explaining, not this time. It’s been too long, the captain looks too bloodied, and his blood is boiling from the fight. Instead, he gently orders, “Look after the others. Are their injuries worse?”

“I—no, the captain definitely took the worst hit,” Hylia’s hero answers, eyes worried.

“He will be fine,” Fierce assures. “Get to the others. I will follow you to your camp.”

He doesn’t realize his words tip off the other hero, a sudden edge of anxiety giving weight to his movements as he dashes for the others. He instead reaches for the little soldier he once fought alongside, carrying him gently in his arms as he moves to follow Hylia’s hero. The young one feels a little heavier in his arms than he remembers, and he smiles just at little, knowing that he must have grown.

He still seems too small, though.

Warriors wakes up briefly to the feel of armor against his side, of weightlessness and safety that he hardly remembers. He sees facial markings and glowing eyes, and he almost croaks out a word before passing out again.

He wakes far later to a ring of heroes worriedly hovering over him while Time nurses a magical hangover in the corner of the camp. But when the captain sits up, accepting a potion from Legend, he locks eyes with the old man.

Thank you, he says without words, nodding.

And as Time nods back, he can feel the fierce deity mask warm with magic, almost as if in relief.

Heya!

I was wondering how you photograph your drawings? I alsos till draw with pen and paper and have been trying to figure out how to post my things with good quality?

Do you use a specific light and camera?

Hey Danger! Wish I had something cool to tell you but for my sketches I just use natural or direct light (usually from a desk lamp) and my iPhone.

I do upload the sketch to procreate for some minor color correction and clean up but overall that’s the process 😅

Here are examples of a before and after of my editing

The first pictures:

The final edits:

[maesonc-artistic-adventures]

i love your art!! it looks like you’re taking art requests so maybe some sky and wind hugging? :D

Hey Stormy! Thank you so much! I love the idea of Sky and Wind cuddling during naps so enjoy!

[maesonc-artistic-adventures]

Art request: LU Sky demanding hugs from anyone in the chain 💞💞

Hey Ace! I can absolutely draw Sky getting some much deserved hugs from Wolfie

[maesonc-artistic-adventures]

HI MAE CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS

what's your plans for your future looking like if you're willing to share???

if requests are still open and if i didn't already request something (cause i legit can't remember) can you create into being: one of the LU chain dancing??

Thank you so much!

I won’t share personal plans but I will offer you two Links dancing!

[maesonc-artistic-adventures]

congrats on almost finishing your degree!! have you ever drawn marin?

Thank you!!! It’s nice to be done!

And I’d never drawn Marin before but your request came in just as I started replaying Link’s Awakening so it seems like to perfect time to draw her!

[maesonc-artistic-adventures]

Sorry Legend 🥲

Art prompt! One of the other Link's fierce deity form

Uh so I may have gone a bit overboard 😅

Enjoy my Fierce Deity headcanons for the Chain

EDIT: FUCK I FORGOT LEGEND

I think the Mask has some common traits regardless of who wears it (everyone gets a middle part lmao) but I think the style of the face tattoos should shift for the person.

Warriors: I tried to emulate some of the Celtic-knot-adjacent details in his outfit and yes he keeps the scarf

Wild: I leaned into Zonai elements cause what a flawless aesthetic

Wind: His markings are related to King of Red Lion’s teeth

Legend: Definitely could wear the mask, too smart to actually put it on

Additional note: when I say “cannot wear” I mean that they cannot use the powers of Fierce Deity. The mask is just a mask if they try to wear it.

Dear Miss Maeson, I just wanted to say I really like your art it amazing, as a fellow traditional artist I was wondering what art supplies you use? if you don't mind me asking, And if you got any tips of how to capture the drawing in a picture like lighting techniques or anything like that? Thank for your time and there's no rush answering and I hope you have a wonderful day or night. Sincerely Shyflower-Artz.

I feel a bit embarrassed offering art advice (which is why this took so long), but I will definitely share what’s been shared with me & what little I’ve learned from drawing.

One thing I’ll add is: while I’m self taught, I did have one watercolor teacher for 3 months and she has had the biggest impact on my watercolor painting. So don’t be afraid to seek out teachers!

ALSO! Pls do not feel pressured to buy the supplies I have! I’ve had my watercolor paints of almost a decade and I am LUCKY to be able to afford polychrome pencils of any kind. I’m a firm believer that the paper quality is more important than the tools used.

Text typed out below the break!

Happy Drawing!!!

1) Hey @shyflower-artz & @ohgodmypc

1st, Shy, Sorry this took so long!

2) 2nd: Thank you So Much! Y’all are so sweet and your support means to world to me!

3) I use a lot of tools on my art. Currently I use:

- Faber-Castell polychromos Pencils

- Mechanical Pencils (Bic 0.7mm)

- Dylusions Creative Journal Square

- Alpha gold/silver watercolor paints

- watercolor paper 300lb

4) As a traditional artist, I think your paper-weight /quality is more important than expensive pencils or paints. Don’t break the bank; but find something that can stand up to experimentation

5) Don’t be afraid to experiment! I have lots of sketchbooks dedicated to learning (I’ll try to include some examples below).

- Go to live draw sessions

- study other traditional (& digital) artists

- & be patient/kind to yourself!

6) Happy Drawing!!!

CONGRATS ON THE DEGREE!! for the art requests, I really love all of your art of LU Time and Warriors, so maybe something with them? Maybe them goofing around and being silly?

- crazylittlejester

Silly Times & Warriors, you say?? My Favorite! Your wish is my command

A continuation of my “They’re brothers your honor” series

[maesonc-artistic-adventures]

It’s the voice AND the his physical acting while he plays! Some of his expressions are just heart wrenching! I’ve paused videos to practice drawing grief b/c he just embodies it so well when playing Orym and Caleb!

I forget you draw for Crit Role as well as LU

Vax and Caleb my beloveds

And the War of Eras trio

Oh goodness, Ravio and Gilmore would either get along like a house on fire or absolutely hate each other

Oh my gosh I realize I’ve never drawn Vax or Caleb??? Gotta fix that RIGHT now so I’ll have drawn all of the Sad Bois in Liam’s catalogue.

[maesonc-artistic-adventures]

For the art prompts: LU Warriors and HW Impa hanging out?

Oh my gosh yes absolutely!

I feel like Warrior’s learned his signature scruffing technique from HW Impa

[maesonc-artistic-adventures]

Congratulations on your degree!! Heard that requests are open? Maybe something with LU Hyrule and Legend causing shenanigans??

Thank you!!! I’m so glad it’s done!

And of course! Here are the boys doing…well they’re certainly trying to do something 😅

[maesonc-artistic-adventures]

Could I request something with Horizon Duo (Four and Sky), please? 👉👈 Preferably from my AU (https://www.tumblr.com/x-i-l-verify/tagged/simulacrum%20spirits) but regular LU canon is fine as well. 👍Alternative prompt: Fairy boy Time cradling a little fairy!Hyrule. <3

So many wonderful prompts but I instantly fell in love with the idea of baby Time holding fairy Hyrule! I was heavily inspired by a fairy design made by @avasdemon so please go check out their work!
