Command

This chapter only took me 3 months. This Is Fine.

Once again, not too proud of this one but I'm glad I got it finished! Shoutout to my art browser for hearing my cries and 1) Adding a text option and 2) Making more brushes available for free. I also tried a new shading method because the old one felt a bit too... How do I say- muddy? For me. Feel free to drop feedback on the shading method you prefer.

Again, sorry for disappearing but I am now in (UK) college and while I am in fewer days a week, I decided to do a film course. Which. Yeah, that's stressful. Fun, but very stressful. Also, it's been a year since the first page of this comic. Wild to think that we're not even on the first story arc, but that may be a while yet lmao

Cast Off - part 2

<Previous Next> Transcript:

Warriors: I hate to admit that I doubted this many people would show up. I thought for sure a few of you would turn tail... Regardless, it's a pleasure to see you all here. Sky: So, that's the captain, right? He never mentioned anything during my recruitment... Four: (shrugs) Warriors: I doubt we'll get any further arrivals at this time, so without further pause, allow me to introduce your captain for the foreseeable future; Captain Link Strand.

Wind (thought): Well, I can't that this is what I expected... Wind: I think we can make this work.

Cast Off - part 1

Edit: I fixed the quality issue but it comes at the cost of having to physically write out the text and draw each text bubble. A small price to pay to be comprehensible.

Transcript in case you can't read something:

Sky: Another one? Legend: How many could there possibly be? Twilight: I'm... here for the Wind Waker? Am I in the right place? Hyrule: Yep! Right place! (Ooo, nice tattoos) Wild: Alright, spill it! What's your role and name? Twilight: Well, I'm the new quartermaster, Twilight: And my name is Link. ... Four: ...Link? Twilight: Yes? Legend: How does this even happen?! Twilight: ...Someone please explain? Wild: Well... Hi, Link, I'm Link! I'm the assigned cook! That's Link! He's the navigation! This is also Link! He's the medic. Then we have Link, the lookout. And finally, Link! He's the cooper. Twilight: ... Are we all named Link?! Four: Unfortunately.
