#fairy answers questions

[rosecolouredheart]

Yo fam, for the Zelda ask: 3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18(Skyward Sword), 18(BotW), goooo~

How in the heck do you keep managing to send messages after I’m asleep when I stay up to at least midnight most of the time my dude? Do you ever sleep? Did you become some sorta creature of the night w/out letting any of us know? 

3. Favourite and least favourite companion?Favorite is hard but I gotta go with King of Red Lions, WW. Least is either Tael MM or Ezlo MC.

7. How many of the main series games have you beat/completed?What’s the distinction between main series and spinoff? I’ve played OoT, MM, FS, WW, MC, TP, PH, ST, SS, ALBW, BotW. I’ve beat all of those many times except ST (fucking pan pipes) and SS (too repetitive) so I guess nine?

10. Favourite Zelda design?THEY’RE ALL CUTE.

11. Favourite Ganon/Ganondorf design?Probably OoT and WW. TP is interesting in the way when it’s actually properly lit and detailed like in SSBB so you can see shit it’s p neat but still very generic evil guy.

12. Top 3 items?Elixir soup, 

14. Top 3 masks?For abilities: Bremen, Captain’s Hat, Bunny Hood.For looks: Fierce Deity (also falls under for abilities but I didn’t wanna list it twice), Postman’s Hat, Couples Mask

16. Rank the BotW champions from favourite to least favourite.Urbosa is top, the other three are equal in second place. How can I pick between rock grandpa, teenage fish, and millennial bird? (Real talk I really disliked Rivali until the champion’s ballad. and don’t get me wrong he’s still a jerk but is more understandable. Mipha too, but she finally got some characterization more than “she really loves link, guys.”)

Wanda, Cosmo and Peri deffinetly love their fairy Timmy, but how do AntiCosmo, AntiWanda and Irep feel about Ymmit?

Im Back! :D Sorry for the wait Anon, to answer your questions..

seeing as Ymmit has shown interest in academics and learning, Anti-Cosmo is more than happy to share his knowledge with someone. they bond with reading books together, or planning how to make anti-fairy world better for all anti-fairies. also since Irep doesn't show any real interest in taking over the heir, it seems like Ymmit will be doing that instead if needed.

you could say Ymmit is a mamas boy haha. Anti-Wanda seems to always keeps in mind that Ymmit isn't as old as he looks, and would treat him more accordingly. its really comforting when Ymmit is stressed out, and he would seek his mother out first when he gets upset. they like to cook together :)

Ymmit and Irep however well.. they do get into a lot of fights with each other. Its a generic sibling rivalry, with the strangest bonding opportunities. they make everything a competition. if you would ask they would both say they hate each other (but thats a lie hehe). they would rather drink poison than admit they care for the other. Irep holds being the bigger brother over Ymmits head a lot, that has always been present in their life. meanwhile Ymmit took advantage of being younger to get their parents to side with him instead. however, they do get into quite some mischief together.

He is very busy, so keep that in mind.

Find the interest form here.

Our Artist Application form will open on the 12th of January 2024.

text version under the cut

What type of artists are you looking for? And are you after a specific style or a range of styles?

We are looking for artists who can create pieces with fully rendered fairies and a background within the specified schedule. These can be digital artworks that are flat colour artworks, paintings, a mixture, or another style entirely.

We will also accept mixed media and traditional artworks, but they will need to be scanned at a minimum of 300dpi.

~

When you sign up for an artist position, are there any requirements to be a part of the team?

E-mail communication is required (discord is optional).

You must have a PayPal account to receive payment.

You must be able to communicate comfortably in English.

You must be 18 or older at the time of signing the contract by the 16th of February.

For artists accepted into the zine what would be the timeline for completing and submitting artwork?

Our current schedule for the artists requires concept ideas to be submitted by Feb 16th, and the final version by May 16th! Progress check-ins will be on Feb 29th, March 21st, and April 11th.

(In the image there is also a table including this information as well as the final submissions date being May 16th)

When the zine is for sale, where would the profits go to (charity, zine admin, etc.)?

We are aiming to hold pre-orders in June/July of 2024, with a flat fee paid to all contributors and additional proceeds split between contributors and mods.

Our priority is to make sure each contributor is paid fairly for their work. If sales do well enough, 20% will be used for future books and projects, and 80% split between taxes and fees, production costs, contributors and shipping costs.

Is this physical or digital and will there be prints of the art available? Got any merch ideas planned to go along with the zine?

Both physical and digital! Our goal is to make a 210 x 148 mm (A5) perfect-bound soft cover book.

We also plan to add some paper merch, including prints of some of the art from the book. Additional merch ideas include stickers, sticker sheets and bookmarks.

It's racist, my dear, to be blunt. People come from outside, they think we're all witches and druids. For God's sake, child, you walked into a piece of string!

I just saw your character lineup for the grimm legends and I love it so so much! Not only your art is beautiful, I also feel like you nailed each character’s classic vibe while still making them diverse which is amazing! Sadly I couldn’t get if you’re doing a comic/fanfic or smth with them? Btw can’t wait for more whatever it’s story or just character sheets🧡

🖤I’m so glad to hear feedback like this!🖤

As much as I’d love to turn this concept straight into an animated series (I don’t have the time or technology) so the plan is to eventually turn The Grimm Legends into a comic series; there is still some plot points and other storyline’s to iron out before starting tho🖤 I started with the character designs because I already had many of them in my mind as it was and I really wanted to make them real🖤

I do want to put a few fun one shots about the characters just so people can get an idea of what the legends are like…

There is still many more character sheets to come aswell🖤

[ayyy-imma-ninja]

That's right. They've been rather curious. You think you can...handle them?

"WHO SAID YOU COULD COME OUT?!" I did. If you won't introduce him yourselves, then I will. ~ ~ ~

Alright, everyone. Got any questions for the little guy? Now's your chance. You can still ask things of or about Sun and Moon, but Lunar questions will be prioritized.

hi can I point the fact that one of natsu's love languages is physical touch but the moment lucy lays a finger on him he breaks. he will be hugging and laying on her all the time but if she gets too close he's done. and it has gotten worse bc in the begining of the anime/manga he was confused but now his brain just shuts down.

Hello,

Yes I absolutely agree!! Natsu’s love language is physical touch. In terms of Lucy, the very famous forehead touch with Future Lucy (and present Lucy in the opening) demonstrates a sense of trust and confidence. Natsu knows that Future Lucy came back to save everyone and he trusts her and kind of makes a promise to save the future. I think he couldn’t really convey that with words since it’s not his strong suit, so he preferred physical touches and hence the forehead touches.

But I don’t think he “shuts down” when Lucy is one initiating the physical touches. I think he becomes relaxed and calms down. Her touch is soothing to him.

For example, one of the most recent examples in the 100 YQ is when Natsu becomes overpowered by the flames he ate from Ignia. Lucy helps him calm down and get some control over this situation. I think he’s responding to her physical touches and recognizes them as something familiar, something safe.

Thank you for your input!! I hope this helps

Poppin in for the first time in a few months— I’ve been following your art on and off for like two years now, and I just want to say that your art style is still one of my favorite art styles. It’s unique, I love you draw noses/mouths/eyes (gods i love the way you draw mouths and teeth and facial expressions in general, am trying to learn from how you do this because it’s SO GOOD) in a really detailed way while still maintaining stylization, and the grittiness of a lot of your art really inspires me! 

 Also, your armada of trans characters (happy early pride, btw!) are wonderful. Umami in particular is my beloved (to be loved is to be changed indeed, she’s wonderful, and I think about that particular post all the time). Gender stuff’s been funky for me over the past few years, and your peeps have been something of a comfort for me as I figure myself out. Especially because a lot of your characters don’t adhere to strict gender norms— they just exist in their gender, whether that’s dude or woman or nb or something else, and it’s been helping me figure out that I can just exist wherever I’m at, too. I’m not sure if that makes sense, but yeah, it’s appreciated.

I also just really appreciate the diversity in your character designs in general, especially as someone who struggles with variation in character design. I might be rambling here, but even amongst all your fantasy stuff (I’m not quite sure what warhammer is, but you make it look epic), your people just look like they’d be regular people. Like no shade on other artists!, but at the same time, the same anime-esque small nose round/oval face different hair different eyes athletic build for everyone’s favorite characters gets samey after awhile, and i don’t know a lot of people who look like that in real life, y’know? While like your characters like Lyell and human Umami (off the top of my head) and your less obviously fantastical designs in general look like people I could run into while, like, I dunno, grocery shopping or something. They’re unique, but they’re also grounded. It’s definitely something I want to bring to my own art— it makes me feel like I could connect to the character designs more because of it. 

I hope this all made sense, but basically your art is really really cool, and you’re character designs are top notch! wishing you a wonderful Pride and a great rest of your week

I've just been looking at this ask every now and then like :] wahhh, thanks!! it's always nice to get an idea of what it is people See in my art these days, since it just kinda looks 'normal' to me haha. Never really think of it as being all that stylized until I realize oh wait, most people are out here drawing much more reasonably sized mouths, oops, and i love regular people! Truly some of the best inspiration for interesting character designs to me are usually out buying corn nuts and a beer at the gas station and whathaveyou...regular people are great, i recommend jotting down any interesting folks you see as fast as you can, like a monk frantically scribbling down a vision from heaven

[butchfairyzine]

Do you think you still have to feed it blood when it's fully formed? Can it eat other things? Would you have to feed it at all after the 40 days are done?

Since I'm answering fairy asks again:

Probably? Holm seems to keep feeding his undine so maybe it's something they need.

I don't remember seeing any of the fairies eating, but maybe.

40 weeks, and I would imagine so? Since they're physical beings they probably need some way to keep them fed

that “opossum looks longingly at happy family walking a dog” meme but it’s “garden fairy looks longingly at the indoor borrower having a dramatic romance with the human of the house”
