I need to know what the Links' favorite foods are. real life analogs must be made.

okay, I only did the ones that are in the comic so far, but here u go!

[bonus-links]

I love this picture so so much you have no idea-

GET SCOLDED IDIOTS!!

[ezdotjpg]

do you have any directors commentary on the recent two updates? 👉👈 the color palette is absolutely lovely! and and and WOLF!! :DD

OH BOY DO I

In the original draft of this chapter, Wolf stays a, uh, wolf until like the 4th update. Instead of actually managing to get his teeth on the master sword, Loft threw him off immediately. The Deku Tree still said the line about all three of them being heroes and Slate is like. “Including the fucking dog????!” I thought it was very funny but a) it made some scenes later down the line a huge pain and b) I was tired of drawing wolves ALDKDKD

You may have noticed Wolf’s scowling in the bg of almost every panel. That’s kind of just his face, but also right now my guy is nursing the world’s biggest migraine from popping the shadow crystal out of his skull. He can stay wolfmode for a while, but it’s still technically a curse. It’s not consequence free, and there’s an upper limit for how long he can spend in that form. Anyway, cut him some slack if he’s a little prickly for a bit.

There were a lot of comments about Loft being strong enough to toss a wolf over his head lol. My hc is that he’s one of, if not the strongest Link sans any magic items like power bracelets or gauntlets. He’s actually not even as strong now as he was during his quest. Wolf maybe has him beat now, but he can still get tossed lolol

It might seem like Slate’s really taken everything that happened at the end of ch1 in stride, but don’t worry. He’s simmering. Loft is grateful for the opportunity to get distracted by something else. Maybe that’s why he was so willing to approach the wild animal he’s never seen before lol

This maybe goes without saying based on the events of the last two updates, but Slate never had wolf link with him during the events of botw. He doesn’t recognize Wolf.

I’m really glad ppl seem to be liking the colors bc I struggled with them so hard on both updates 🫠literally days of me turning to my roommate and going “I think I’ve never made anything worse” and them going “it looks good stop being dramatic” WKDJDK I have this thing where if I had an idea in my head for what an update should look like, and what I produce doesn’t meet it somehow, I start seeing in fucking. shrimp colors. Posting always gives me a confidence boost back lol.

these pages were cursed in general bc like. this doesn’t usually happen but I think I redrew every panel in this update at least 5 times each. that’s part of why it ended up being late SKDJF

I REALLY like the idea of being in the presence of the Triforce and having access to its power being this eldritch, divinely horrifying experience. The sort of thing that is impossible to explain to anyone and also haunts you forever. Loft spends a lot of time actively trying not to think about the Triforce. Just, like, remember that about him.

Like how tears in reality are shown through holes in the literal comic panels, I tried to show the concept of reality bending in the form of a panel stretching and twisting like a ribbon ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ I hope that came across. Triforce lore varies a bit from game to game, but I’ve come up with my own internal logic for bonus links that combines all the ideas I like lolol. We’ll learn more about it in due time!

I also really like this parallel :D I intentionally set up the panels so past and present loft would line up like this. i love getting to draw flashback links it’s so fun to think of ways to convey what they used to be like, and how their quests might have gone for them. Past Loft’s not having a great time by the time he reaches this point lol

I think that’s all I’ve got for now. Thanks for asking :D

[ezdotjpg]

oooh curious about soul comic 👀

okay so this is spoilers a little, here's the first two "pages", in total it's 17 single panel pages and will hopefully go up as a bonus comic at....some point this chapter :-) that's all I'll say about it

[ezdotjpg]

for the ask game, i wanna see the body types file!!!

this one's almost done, so I'll just give a little snippet hehe

[ezdotjpg]

babbywolf please!

there was a period of time where I was gonna try to draw every link with a comparison between their younger/events of canon self and how they are in bonus links. I did one for loft and war but then lost steam on the others lol

that orb is midna

I just reread all of your bonus-links comic and *gestures wordlessly* your comics are so so so inspiring. I need to gush about it a little bit.

The layouts of the pages and the panels, there is so much movement in the way they direct the eye. I'm also a huge fan the textures you use in the backgrounds, the swirls and colours!!! The panels are just SO interesting to look at, even the ones with a simple composition.

I also! really love! the details that flow in and outside of the panels, like the red lines and the fabric of the sky, the way they direct the eye is SO beautifully done. And the panel borders becoming frames and decorations,,, I'm running out of words, the pages and panels themselves become an illustration in itself.

AND THE PAGES WITH THE RIFTS!? the way these portals just tear the panels apart!! it feels so unnatural and whoahh it's so cool to see a story using the comic medium itself to it's fullest!! it's seriously so exciting to look at!

It's clear that you are putting so much thought and hard work into the story, designs, and pages. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this comic! It's seriously so inspiring!

oh my gosh wow, thank you!!!!! that seriously means so much coming from you because I’m so inspired by YOUR comics!!!!! I don’t know anything about TMNT but I keep up with here there be turtles bc your work is so fantastic!!! 🥺🥺🥺 the colors,,,,the linework,,,the paneling,,,,so good

anyway seriously thank you so much this gave me a much needed boost of energy 💕💕💕

babby wake!!

teeny!

[ezdotjpg]

Hi i know this probably isn't something you planned but as i was scrolling down your page I mistook this panel as Loft having wings

Which is cool. Like a fucked up version of Hylia. "Hey my godhood is built on The Horrors (TM)"

I'm reading too much into it but I just thought that was a cool idea/visual, even if you didn't mean it. Thank you tired eyes for making me see things 👍

you know, that wasn't intentional on my part HAHA but it does kinda look like wings!! that is a very cool visual hehe

[ezdotjpg]

another victim of favoritism here to request babbymage

babby mage! once again part of the during canon vs bonus links comparisons

[ezdotjpg]

There is not one file name that doesn't intrigue me deeply. However I will request please spirit expression. Little guy....

little guy! similar to mask i only got this far
