#hero of the minish

I brought Minish Cap Link back just so he could best Vaati in Connect Four 🔥

[starwolfie]

I drew Four. He accidentally turned out looking like he’s five 🙈

༺ Day 44▪︎ 55 Left

Minish Cap Zelda is an optimist - almost sickeningly so. Oftentimes, during his adventure, Link tries to be more like her so he can persist. Before that, he could get a bit grumpy. Although both were quick to pout (and Zelda the more emotional of the two), Zelda was always the quickest to recover. She could go from sobbing one minute to stubbornly clinging onto the bright side the next! And with Ezlo's never-ending snark, Link needed to be that person this time around...

Imagine Zelda's surprise when she watches this change through her dreams!

Some extremely fucking rough concepts for Link designs!

If you have any questions on my thought processes, feel free to ask.

You can tell I don’t give a shit about Tracks or Wild and that I’m minimally interested in Time or Chaos. I was really uninspired when doing those.

Anyways, I’ll probably refine these later.

Twilight is supposed to have mutton chops, but they got lost in his hair.

Zelda art compilation from the last couple years! Man I am slow to get designs out 😅

Seeing all of my drawings together, I can definitely see how I should change a few designs to fit it all more seamlessly together (though to be fair to myself, it HAS been like 2 years since started making my own link redesigns)

The Wind waker link design is me recycling a design I had made for a linked universe au I wanted to do but ultimately dropped in favor of making my own zelda au unrelated to linked universe!

I have more yet to come but these are the closest to finished designs I have so far!

(Likely going to change a few designs around and make fresh reference pages eventually)

*Do not tag as linked universe please!*

Behold, janky ass Zelda art from early 2020 💀

before COVID struck the us, I was in the middle of a major Zelda phase of similar intensity to the one I'm currently in now. Problem was, I had no clue how to draw humans. So... BEHOLD

Janky ass hero of time. Look at him in all his incorrect anatomical glory. His awkward pose, his unappealing coloring, his oversized melon head with banana hair, he's glorious. This was the peak of my ability to draw humanoids at the time. Now let us move on to our next glorious beast

Truly a relic of its time, no? This unholy amalgamation of 2019 trends was the spawn of my boredom in 9th grade world history class. The croc boots. The floating hydro flask. The weird combination of these things with dyed hair and copious piercings. It's as if the alt kid and the vsco girl had a lesbian love child. To cap it all off, we have a stilted stance and a shitty color job. Splendid.

Say it with me class: "ANATOMY." Weirdly big head, hair with no shape, strange rectangle body, STRANGE looking limbs, and of course we gotta throw in the shoddy coloring job and the half assed background. And good god his wounds look NASTY. I'll give myself some credit here: those look genuinely painful. Bros dying over here (genuinely I want to do a redraw of this just to do a side-by-side comparison) One detail I do really like- the specks of orange embers flying around are a nice touch. I put forethought into this drawing, past me was not lazy. Just unskilled. (Well, I was pretty lazy but not with art) (I am still lazy at non art stuff)

These links need therapy. I put them in line for the therapists office. You can tell by the sign that says "Therapist's office." Never finished this one. To be honest the forms are not THAT bad. I finally ditched the melon head model and got better at human faces. Also... why did I think that ALTTP Link was physically unable to speak? Nothing really pointed towards that... and Echoes of wisdom don't even come out yet (I know EoS Link isn't the same as ALTTP but eh similar art style) This ones not bad but not good either.

Now this one. This one's a hoot. This is a knee slapped right here. Ya see, Twilight doesn't have an instrument cause he howls cause he's a dog. So the other links take their instruments and blow them in his face. RIP twilight, dies by decibel overdose. As a proud band kid I channeled my passion for woodwinds into this goofy sketch. Again, there forms are not bad, we're seeing some improvement especially on the faces of each link- wait a minute. ENHANCE.

SKFHSKFHFHFH SPIRIT!! What did I do to you?? Why did I put you off to the side?! WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE THAT?? My boi... look how I massacred my boi. He's not even in uniform... it's all wrong. His ear is all the way up his head. His limbs are so half assed it hurts. His face. His poor face. He don't even have a mouth. Just a weird scowling eye. He's not even playing the spirit flute, it's just a random set of pan pipes!! This is a disgrace to the good name of trains. I'm so glad I'm better at drawing now so I can do him justice.

anyway thanks for reading me bashing my younger, less experienced self for being unable to draw humanoids in an appealing way.

Hero of the minish 🌱

[hai2700]

And here he is! He turned out pretty good and is a little bit different of a design than Sky. Hope y’all like him!

[druidbottles]

The past year and a half have been really tough for me, and there's no coping mechanism quite like putting your blorbo in situations, so here's some Minish Cap Link grief fic, with lots of comfort from Zelda.

(It's a bit of a vent fic but not really.) The main moral of the story here is that Link and Zelda are best friends and Zelda is supportive and loves Link very much!

Linktober Day 26 - Overgrown

[veid49]

I’m planning absolutely nothing.

[mayonakaotsumamilublog]

thanks to @quietlywatchingwritingreading for giving me this idea! Minish hero but he’s actually a minish.

I had a lot of fun designing him and figuring out some small ideas. Yes his shield is a button and his sword is a sewing needle.

Yoooooo I love everything about this update so much! It all flows so perfectly together! 🤩

Mini rightfully being a menace is a treat. 🤭

& The entire composition for Sky’s “two can play that game” panel is *chefs kiss. The way the feathers on his head are being highlighted? Brilliant! Balances the composition while thematically reinforcing how Mini is challenging Sky to his own game!

Yet while I emphasize with Mini here, Sky’s to-the-point & understandable question: “Why can a child do that?” Is SO well represented! The way Mini’s looking pointedly at the rupees & celebrates with a video-gamy looking symbol over his head… he looks so happy & unfazed! & THAT’S what disturbs Sky the most in this moment!

Meanwhile even Ravio & Twilight’s shenanigans thematically add to what’s going on. Ravio freaking out & screaming over a lil spider while Mini kills a monster? The dissonance!

Then towards the end, Twilight, a kind & gentle soul, saves the spider rather than killing it. IDK where I’m going with that point really, but it’s just the perfect balance of lightening the mood with something funny while still feeling thematically appropriate. 💞

I'm really proud of this update but PLEASE don't look too closely at which hands the boys are holding their swords I made a mistake sketching and had to flip a bunch of panels and I didn't think to check that part until it was too late aaAAAAAA-- Mini is left handed.

Also thanks to Moya for helping with this part 💛

Linktober day 15- sword

Hero of meeennn hiii hiiiii hi hero of men

I don’t think the temple of hylia would really be this abandoned in hero of men’s time, since he’s (in my mind) the link right after sksw link and I think sksw link would find it very important to keep the temple and fis resting place well kept,,, but I thought it’d look cool ^^

Hw Zelinkle under the cut !!
