With chapter 3 of Porcelain Veneer posted, I can now share Legato's design page! Ignore the part where I technically spoiled this chapter with a tiny Legato.

Below the cut are my design notes, along with some original concepts I drew a year ago when I first thought of this au. How far we've come...

It's fun to see which details I kept and which fell away in favor of other ideas.

Fun fact! Legato was originally supposed to be confused with Linkle during Hyrule Warriors. The base concept for this au was that Legend was trying to use the Harp of Ages to visit the Chain, but he kept missing. This involved him saving baby Malon, having tea with a sorceress named Cialana, hanging out with baby Wild, crashing through Midna's window, and being a thorn in the side of Ghirahim. All with the punchline that everyone had shown up at his house the second he left.

Obviously, things didn't go the way I was expecting, but I think I'm happy with what I ended up doing :3

#i didn't get rid of legato's poncho until i was halfway through writing the series #to this day i fear that one mention of his hood will have somehow snuck past my rounds of editing #(yeah it's walking the line of what counts as a poncho but it was gonna be sewn shut at the top so shhh)#did i go a bit too hard on rendering caladbolg? maybe. but consider this: i love my color-of-the-sky rainbow sword of high damage/wide rang #e #literally the only thing wrong with it is that i can't use a shield. but i forget to shield like half the time anyway so that's irrelevant #LU Doppelgänger AU #my art #nothing really demonstrates how much your artstyle changes like having new art alongside stuff from last year in the same post
