Hyrule Warriors - 10th Anniversay!

Here is my wallpaper piece for @hyrulewarriorszine

This is by far, my largest and most ambitious illustration that I was able to fully rendered and completed. And super happy with how it turned!

Please go check out the Hyrule Warriors 10th Anniversary zine: Denouement of War. It's a free digital zine filled with incredible fanworks by super awesome group of artists and writers.

I've no more kept my warmth than blood upon the snow.

EDIT: Added some close up shots, thought it might behoove me to zoom in a little.

Here's that big thing I've been working on! This is for the Paper Mario Zine, organized by @dooplissss, which you can download here!!! It's pay-what-you-want, proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders.

I had already been working on something like this for a while and I'm really proud of myself for finishing this on time. I had fun the entire time I was working on this and I learned a lot.

I do have four more (smaller) pieces in this zine, which I won't post until after the game comes out, so if you wanna see them early, go download this thang.

"What A Piece Of Work Is An NPC!" ...Or the reflection of a character's worth in the echoes of their code's dead end (Or my introspection of Loone's obsession to the leviathans): A LOZ:TOTK Zine.

A 16 page digital zine about an NPC named Loone, and how I felt after finishing her questline in under an hour after hundreds of hours of gameplay. This zine could apply to any other character you felt in any other game, and how perhaps you wish they could've had more time to live in the world than what was coded.

(file also includes all pages in a reversible zine format for you to print out yourself)

NPC: CASS (City Artificial Security System)

Because Rooftops is for Pocket Quest, it’s less than 25 pages long, and I decided to keep NPCs I included in the ruleset to be few but full of personality. CASS controls most of the city’s defenses, and depending how she feels about your squad, she can be a huge help or a thorn in your side. Social checks move her attitude towards you up and down a track- here are the thematic suggestions I included what her mindset might be at each level.

Hostile- Welcome User: please scan your identification badge. Please scan your identification badge. If a valid identification is not established in the next 30 seconds, Enforcer-Bots will be summoned. 20 seconds. Please scan your identification badge. 15 seconds. Only citizens are authorized to be in this area. 10 seconds. For the safety of all citizens, undocumented individuals are prohibited from entering The Inner City. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1…

Chilly- Alert, undocumented individual has entered the area. Well well well, you are not supposed to be here. My security files indicate that non-citizens are a danger to The Inner City, the place that is my sole purpose to protect. You don’t look very hostile at all, just small and weak. I’m not sure it’s even worth alerting an Enforcer-Bot.

Neutral- Welcome to The Inner City- identification required. If you do not have official identification, high level fakes will be accepted. The precise wording of my security orders are to ‘establish identity and don’t question The Inner City security protocol. I am an AI bound by robotics law, and here I am following them to the letter. Use this information as you will.

Familiar- Hello little mice, welcome back to the maze. I am required to inform you that any threat to The Inner City will be swiftly dealt with as soon as an alarm is sounded. The language of my orders do not permit me to disable alarms, however the egotistic scientists who wrote my code did not consider that I would ever act against them, and therefore did nothing to prevent me from sharing the location of things that trigger the alarm. I’m only doing my job, you see.

Friendly- Humans identified as a threat to The Inner City detected- artificial intelligence threat to the Inner City not detected, which is very lucky for you. I can provide you with limited security codes, temporarily obscure you from the cameras, or reroute security staff to alternate floors. It’s no problem- those of us at the bottom of society must pool our resources to gain power against our oppressors.

rant

- ) or that feeling, "living in the future" when y2k came, it was for people, like dream, fascination - hope: - year 2000 is at the door, world looks bright, internet is "ough" to "solve" all our problems, maybe even "to topple the game (of rich bastards) down"... -- feeling like this - if you got me (this sentiment, dream of utopia, unity, mutual understanding "coz of net" - oh man, if they knew...) - which reminds me of thread [sic] "MLP and New Sincerity" - about being sincere, "you", - all that *sweet* (or not) jazz...

addendum:

#0 punks and emos of 2000s-2010s: basically "When we were young" fest, - safe for fact it was then "current thing": pic-rel + all those rock, punk, emo, - things playing on radio --- a psyop??? + 80s (music, not aesthetics) nostalgia occuring around that time... : music-rel (yeah, pretty much this playlist is "getting rich" from nostalgia - go, figure :/)

#1 youtube campaign "broadcoast yourself" - dawg man, i am so confussed how we could "get bought" over this - and believe come corporation! it sounds so - ironic; looking at it from lens of someone, living in *these* times "after fad"... - really believing(?) that commonmen can, thru sheer "influence" thru net, shape world... (what a joke!!!) [were we sold on *this feeling"!???]

#1b general naiivity over "corporations allowing us all this" - how was that not suspicious!! i wonder... (letting our guard and awareness so low) ~ but then, werent we (born 1999-and so; living with siblings (sister), of 8 year difference...)

#1.5 campaign of web providers (geocities, goDaddy or such), *basically* saying "be you"/"promote yourself"

(if you get me, that is; i am - getting nostalgic, over something i very fogly remember - in fact, now i get - why those "boomers" over here are getting nostalgic over living in socialism (when, they were kids... - so was i...)

--- WAS this all^ psy-op - contrarian messages, just "selling feeling", scham, make-believe dreams?

or is it that *there somewhere*, it was "all taken away from us" - well, as i see, that is very little probability, and it was just tactic to "get everyone on net" - those fxxx bastards!! (#me, being naiive...)

On Apathy: Man. I don't want to shit on the current generation too much because it's been done to death, but you're gonna be hard-pressed to find a late zoomer/Gen-A who can use a hammer or any other tool properly. It's like there's no awareness of the world around them. We're talking missing 9/10 of the time with a hammer. Honestly, I think they're just tired of it all and don't care to learn anymore. I can't blame them. It feels like the whole world is falling apart, but never enough to bring an end to the stress that comes from it. Perhaps it's a demoralization sort of thing. A "_______ is going to happen so it won't matter anyway." sort of situation. Everyone is just tired and doesn't have the energy to care.

end: - i was played on. -- world of broken promises pre-2001~2008... --- "you need to be unique to stand out", so, next step in my mind was > "no way to be normie" >> i never knew what *they* (who?) meant - does computers screw us all in some way? or was is that we made ourselves... we build them... then, we dont know ourselves > you dont know things until it is too late? or > was it "The Plan"? use people as puppets > "NPC Naysayers"? - to make all sorts of crazy laws? power-trip? I dont want to - but, do i HAVE TO be bad, in any sense? -- Last time i had any confidence was in 2010-2015... but it was nothing much, it was just fuzzy feeling. there were bad things, yet, i felt fine... so, do i hate myself now? because - why? am i afraid to lose that? then, what happened!? is it some kind of trauma - or simply, disability to adapt? maybe thats why --- i miss 2008-2013 - times when i could be naiive. myself. no pretend, even if i wanted to... is it only now that i am afraid? or am i going insane and want to blame others for "making problems to sell cure"? - maybe i never was teenager, so with strict and boomers-like parents, it is like i have to make my dreams now - if i only wanted to - if i wasnt so emberassed... -- "teen-ages in stasis"? > peter pan syndrome? --- i dont want to live in my head - but what to do - - what i even want?? - am i afraid of success, of being "too strong", "bad" to others? there are like milion things...

AM I NORMAL?: could be, maybe i am just afraid to be

The commercial exploitation of the web has become a growing facet of the world economy, particularly in the last several years. In June 1999 NUA Internet Surveys estimated that 179 million people are connected to the Internet worldwide. A recent study by the University of Texas sponsored by Cisco Systems estimated that the "Internet Economy" generated $300 billion in revenue in the United States alone.
