Holaaaa Kyo!!

Ask 1?

Leeeni thaaanks 🤧🤧

Weirder asks

1. Who is your comfort character

TP Link! And probably any interpretation of him! You want to make it the most stereotypical farm boy in the entire west? Be my fucking guest dude! Oh, he is some sort ruler after his adventure? I'm getting my napkin ready to eat that shit up. A werewolf?? Not my cup of tea, but it's Twi boy so I like himm!

Except LU Twi, this bitch here has beef with LU Twi. I will fistfight him (affectionate) into being less annoying. The only Twi LU derivate I enjoy a lot is the one in Home Sweet Home series, so good 😌

No sabía si responder en inglés o en español 🤧 pero para los hispanoablantes;

TP Link! Lo tkm mucho al chico 🤧 y todas las interpretaciones de él, unas más que otras por supuesto. Quieres hacerlo el granjeri más estereotipico del condado??? Adelate amix te apoyo. Es una figura en poder después de terminar su aventura?? Me mama la ideaaa amo (especialmente aquellos que lo hacen alcalde de Ordon porque es canon que él sería); quieres hacerlo un hombre lobo?? Te observo, te analizo y te apoyo porque es Twi y me tiene agarrada del cuello.

Menos Twi en LU. Odio a Twi en LU ksksksk. Lo veo y me incita a la violencia. A crimenes de odio, di (con cariño). Lo tkm, pero sólo en mi cabeza HAHAHA

7?

This question is not on the list, but which artists inspire you? 👀

Neenii hi!! Ilysm <333

7. How often do you use references?

I use refs more often than not, especially if I'm trying to do anything more than sketches for fun. For a full illustration I like to collect pictures for poses, lighting, color mood and any big props or set pieces. I'll download them and then organize them into sheets to have next to me while I draw. Also for pose references, if you're looking for something specific I can't recommend AdorkaStock enough, they've put together some amazing photoshoots.

And then artists that inspire me....

hmmm that's hard 😅 There are so many and the list is constantly growing akdjh And there are different artist I look at for inspiration in different aspects of my art. That being said here's a few and what I love about them ^^

One of my biggest inspirations and favorite artists is Glen Keane, I wrote an entire paper on him sophomore year of college. He was an animation artist who worked bringing the Beast, Ariel, Tarzan and many others to the screen. He has an amazing way of capturing emotion and expressive gestures in his figures that I adore. Also just as a person, I've listened to so many interviews with this guy and he has such a humble, gentle and genuine approach to talking about his life and art and I hope to be like that someday too <3 Also, if you haven't seen some of his post-disney shorts like "Duet" and "Dear Basketball" I can't recommend them enough, absolutely beautiful works of art (a small warning with the latter one though, it was a collaboration with Kobe Bryant done to commemorate his retirement so,,, it's a little heavier to watch now.)

Another artist I adore is Jin Kim, I'll never get over the expressiveness and life in his characters! I also love watching videos from Sam Yang, he has a really gentle and approachable way of explaining his process and I love the lighting and color in his pieces. Daniel Gerhartz also has stunning lighting in his pieces that inspire me every time I see them.

There's so many artists here on Tumblr too who inspire me every time they come across my dashes (And if anyone doesn't follow them already they should definitely check out all their blogs!) There's too many to list them all but @yasmeensh has such a gorgeous, loose sketchy style that I love! They capture so many emotions so quickly and their work has such a nostalgic, simple and elegant feel. I've also been loving seeing @ezdotjpg 's work, their character design skills are amazing and I love the way they use colors. @quirkle2 has a way of bringing out life and expressiveness in characters I admire so much, and their linework is exquisite! @liccy has such a fun style and the way they draw figures is like art goals to me, I also love the way they capture forms, drapery and folds in clothing. And uh, oh also! If you guys don't follow @tamberella please go do it right now, I love everything about their style (figures, lighting, colors, settings, all to die for!), they have amazing resources for artists and over on insta (@devinellekurtz) they share their process and amazing advice in their stories that's helped me out so much!

And of course, you inspire me too Neenii!! I love your soft style and colors, and the way you capture such sweet expressions and emotions with all your characters. Whenever I see your art it always makes my day brighter!!

Did a challenge with @leeniidraw where we both stuck with a set color pallet and a theme (insect)

This was a LOT of fun, I loved this. Thanks so much for doing this with me, Leeni!

Announcement: I’ll be hosting a DTYS to celebrate 700 followers on Instagram soon!

And this is dual purpose— considering that Fable x Legend has more or less been canonized (See my post on April 12th for more details on that) but nobody talks about it… well.. that’s not good to say the least. I know the LU fandom, and unfortunately, there’s going to be at least a small chunk of people who’ll probably give backlash. And jojo definitely doesn’t deserve that! No honest creator does! So, to minimize it, I’d like to normalize the ship a little! Hopefully this will be a start. Stay tuned.

.

(Note: By normalize the ship I do NOT mean arguing with people and trying to convince those who don’t like it to be onboard. This is going to do the opposite and make people hate it more, for good reason too. I do NOT condone those who behave in this way. Please— if you enjoy the ship, feel free to share! But don’t attack the lovelies who just feel like it’s not their cup of tea. They’re not wrong for disliking it.)

@leeniidraw Samurott my beloved

[lyrabythelake]

Hello, I’m Lyra! Asks and requests are welcome 💜

Some Fics By Me

Not A Hero  Words:  24,279 “I don’t do what I do for the people. I do it for Hyrule, so that someday the plants might grow again, and the birds will sing like they do in the stories. When that happens, maybe the people who live here won’t have to fight anymore. Maybe then they’ll have time to be kind.”

Lifting The Fog Words: 6,382 Legend, Twilight, Time, and Wild have to fight their way through poisonous fog to reach the others. Surprise, surprise, it doesn't go too well. Lost Prince AU (WIP) Words: 42,722 There is an old prophecy that tells of nine princes destined to rise up and defeat evil as one, saving the kingdom from any harm that may befall it. The only problem? One of the princes was lost as a young child, stolen by the very shadows themselves. Until he is found, Hyrule will always be under threat. (Twilight-centric)

This Friendship is Built on Pyromania Words: 3498 Warriors and Hyrule traverse a dead, barren land and set some things on fire along the way.

They Grow Up So Fast Words: 13,833 Inspired by this comic by leeniidraw. My take on Mask/Time and Warriors as brothers.

Ghost Wind AU (WIP) Not yet on ao3 but here are the links: Part 1, part 2, part 3

Bear With Me, He’s a Friend Words: 4067 A fic inspired by this animation by stickchilddraws. Wild makes friends with a wild bear.

Blue  Words: 2077 Legend finds an injured Blupee in the woods.

The House in the Eye of the Storm Words: 5747 Warriors is feeling homesick and the others show him he has a family even when he is worlds away from his own.

Wars of the Mind Words: 51,514 Warriors is trapped in a mind fogged with confusion and a body not as strong as it once was, but the Links help him find his worth once again.

The Art of Being in Four Places at Once Words: 2637 Four gets split up during a portal jump, much to the confusion of the others.

The Requirements of Healing Words: 2568 Hyrule doesn't tell the group how much healing them exhausts him, he's just happy doing whatever he can to help.

Tales of Times Past Words: 2265 The Links have long since gone their separate ways and Time has settled into family life. His days of adventure are behind him but they sure do make good bedtime stories.

Recovered Footage from Sheikah Artefact #035 Words: 4044 Wild vlogs the chain’s shenanigans via his Sheikah slate

Fire in the Heart Words: 3637 The air was thick with smoke and heat and Twilight’s eyes wept as he struggled to keep them open. His nose and throat burned and his lungs were begging for air. He couldn’t see two feet in front of him, the black smoke was everywhere. He could hear the screams though.

Bucks, Boars and Divine Beasts Words:14,478 When Wild unexpectedly recalls another memory, he decides to take Twilight's advice and see Zelda. However, the group soon find themselves crossing Wild's Hyrule to complete a task from the princess herself.

Me and @leeniidraw both collaborated on a piece together!! She drew Wild, and I drew the cats! I also colored everything and shaded the cats as well, and she did the lineart (which is just gorgeous by the way)

A couple of my Warriors AU cameos are snuck in here ;)
