Backstage power nap!!

Have this poorly cropped doodle of @jullbnt's awesome LoZ ballet!! These designs belong to them. They posted an ask earlier about other people drawing this concept and I guess I got inspired, teehee :] When things get slow during dress rehearsals, Link and Gan usually nod off for a bit while Zelda takes care of her Animal Crossing island.

[jullbnt]

@nocturnalfandomdoodles oooh thank you!! She's so cute, I'm so happy I could inspire you!

A fic with a dancing Zelda?? Interesting 👀

zelda for an upcoming fic (for @loz-untold-myths)

i was inspired to draw dance poses for the first time in a while by @jullbnt's loz ballet au!! :) go give it a look if you haven't, i'm obsessed

[ellenent]

link and zelda faeries commission!

[pumpkinsouppe]

Tee hee! (Starts sobbing)

Hylia's Attendant Link My interpretation of of the first Link. Not a hero but a attendant/priest of Hylia's. Also everyone ways tights straight from a ballet.

[jullbnt]

Aww OoT ballet!! I love this :D

Thank you for tagging me!

The piano covers I was listening to ran away with me and I was tearing through ballet references like a person possessed. The context to explain the outfits is pretty specific to a story that will almost certainly never see the light of day--just know that Zelda quickly stripped off the outer layers for improved mobility and Sheik has updated clothes in post-OoT years. Obligatory: Sheik appearing in anything created by me is a separate character from Zelda. This was a one off for me based on story and music inspiration but I feel it's appropriate to point people at @jullbnt for much more plentiful and polished LoZ ballet art.

Why does Link a skilled swordman ever do a spin attack to begin with?

Sometimes a guy's gotta do a little dance to assert dominance on the field

[charlesleclerctv]

i'm very flattered that u think i could fight btw😺😽

maybe only me hahahah

Part 2 to my current comic WIP...

Which is at a standstill because I have no idea how to draw dance poses. *facedesk*

[luckywolfsbane]

Ooooo damn. I love this. These are all really good points.

Here's a question on Mipha's Grace. Does it completely heal the person to their peak, or does it alleviate all current, unhealed physical injury? It's implied to heal injury only. Otherwise, Mipha's Grace would restore Link to his full-health pre-calamity. Which we can assume is similar to Link's full hearts and stamina. It doesn't do that, though. He keeps the same amount of hearts; he just gets all his endurance back. It seems to restore him to an uninjured state. Honestly, that's up to interpretation, so I think either way is plausible and interesting of applied properly.

As for why he's so thin in flashbacks, aside from "that's just how they made him"(because yeah, that's probably the real reason lol), I have a couple ideas.

The first possible explanation is that, to some degree, maybe he's just seeing himself as he is now in place of who he was? I know that can happen when looking back at memories. They're flawed, and often we see them how we last remembered them, not how they actually were. I don’t really like this answer. I feel like it's a cop-out.

The other option is (and I can’t believe I didn’t see this sooner) that he's a dancer. Given how he moves/fights and his general body makeup, that would make sense. He'd have trained that way from a young age, and it would have altered his literal skeleton. I digress, but I will circle back.

We're also missing another potential component: metabolism. He's probably got a really high metabolism. That leads to an increased appetite and difficulty gaining weight.

He does have a slightly different model in Totk. But it's not really significant enough to comment on. If, by chance, he has a dancer's build AND a high metabolism, combined with the extended recovery period he'd have with Zelda post-botw, he's healthier by a massive margin; but he still wouldn't be too much bulkier, gaining density rather than size.

Which, in turn, explains pre-calamity. He'd be dense, sinking like a rock in water, with thin fat deposits spread out over his body in a way that's hardly noticeable. Because his muscle density would be fairly equally distributed. If you look at professional dancers (the men specifically in this case, but you can see it in women, too), you'll see something akin to what Link has. Where he's not necessarily shrink-wrapped, but rather a smoother tone to his entire form.

Now, I still think, at least toward the start, he's not healthy im BoTW. I think, with the dancer's build in mind, he could get healthier throughout the game w/o us really seeing a significant change in his structure. The shrines are a good metric for this.

I mean, the timing needed to parry a guardian blast would be most easily achieved by someone from a dancer's background. He would have that timing, would be able to find it quickly by listening to the beeping and seeing when the beam shot.

Him being a dancer actually makes so much of the "wtf how" things he does so much more plausible. I'm going to attach a video at the end so you can see more what I mean.

Also, a child dancer with a sword would be hard to beat. Fighting adults with that way of moving coupled with sword training, it would explain why he beat literal knights. He's a dancer with a sword.

That's my theory, anyway.

(It took forever to find the second one, and that was the one I set out looking for. Oops. It took me nearly 8 hours to find that lol)

You know, for someone who supposedly eats a bunch of food and loves to cook quite a bunch, Link sure does look quite malnourished.

[jullbnt]

Look who’s dancing 💚

This is just a little snippet of something I’ve been working on (I was missing my ballet AU). The final animation will be around 15 seconds long and will include music! I’ve been working on it for almost two weeks and only have 5 seconds done 😆

Anyway I’m so proud of this turn!! I still have a few things to adjust but I think it’s going pretty well. It’s my first time animating a full body, this is really hard!

Hum for the art request, do Farore from LoZ (however you imagine her), planting flowers/any plants using a skull (human or not) as a pot inspire you ?

Just in case you think I'm creepy for suggesting that I swea' I didn't mean to T^T. It's just idea symbolize the cycle of Life and Death T^T

Well you don't like it, then here is a question to sociolize :D ! I really love your animation, how do you come up with idea for them ?

I probably won’t have time to do the drawing request but it’s definitely a neat idea, so if anyone else is interested, here ya go!

As for my animation, I’m assuming you mean the animatics I’ve made? I don’t know which specific one you’re referring to so I’ll just answer it for all of them.

Ravio Singing about the LU bois: I had that song on repeat for who knows how long and went “ya know, this could be funny”

The AI one: I watch to much Vocaloid/Megaman/Digimon and technology tends to die at my hands so I figured why not combine all of it to explain my curse. I initially came up with the characters back in high school and I’ve just fleshed it out over the years for portfolio pieces. …..I realize that I never posted this? I don’t think???? My bad but here’s art for the characters

The Witch and Cat one: This was for my Storyboard class and we had the prompt “a pet owner drops some food, their pet eats it, and it becomes a monster”. I didn’t want to make my pet a scary monster and I had been researching Grimm’s Fairytales and German architecture for a different class at the same time so I kinda just used what I had and went with a story of a magic potion going wrong.

The Robot one: like the Cat one, this was also for school and based off a (more complex) prompt. Thankfully for me (and unfortunately for all you poor souls thinking that it would be happy), it was based off of one of my favorite tropes so I had a strong idea of what I wanted to do right off the bat. Something about robots discovering human emotions and not being able to handle it or embracing them despite it resulting in their break down always seems to get to me. And I was handed that on a silver platter mwahahaha. I also love ballet and music so I kinda just combined everything for a nice sucker punch right in the heart.

Okay. So. It is time. I've had cookies and alcohol and therefore the real crack AU idea has been unlocked.

I've been obsessed with the idea of a Witchblade AU for LOZ, and particularly in the context of Linked Universe for maximum embarrassment for all involved parties. So! In order to get across the idea, I need to define what I mean by Witchblade for the audience.

The Witchblade is a sentient weapon in the eponymous comics that takes the term "bikini chainmail" to a ridiculous extreme. I don't care what the worldbuilding says, the Witchblade exists to rip its wielder's clothes off under the pretense of stabbing things. It takes the form of living armor that actually covers very little, though it can expand to cover more under extreme circumstances. It can also grow stabby bits like claws or even actual swords and spears. When it's not being used, it takes the form of a bracelet.

So I present to you: What if the Master Sword functioned like the Witchblade?

In the context of the LU boys, we have:

Sky- Full Witchblade treatment. I'm sorry. It explains way too much about Ghirahim and absolutely nothing about Fi. His version comes with metal wings that function like shields until he figures out what fighting for his life actually entails. He also learns a bit of ballet dancing from asking the sword to puppet him a few times, which helps.

Four- Mercifully, he never dealt with her. He's got a perfectly good enchanted sword and he is both judging the Master Sword and intensely intrigued by the concept of living metal. Not enough to try picking her up though.

Time- The sword is rated at minimum T for Teen for good reason. She gives a respectful nod to his Kokiri origins by changing the avian elements of her previous armor design to curling vines and leaves. He's less embarrassed about this than he should be, but everyone around him is mortified enough to make up for it. The Kokiri might wear clothes but they don't exactly have the Hylian concept of nudity either. Once he properly grows up and is socialized Hylian he definitely thinks the Master Sword is fucked up though.

Legend- He's got so many fucking questions. Who thought this was a good idea, and fuck them actually. Thankfully, he also acquires magic armor that's good enough to not be instantly shredded by the Master Sword, so she just incorporates it instead with some elegant gold accents courtesy of Legend's own smithing. She grows on him, especially once he realizes how the Master Sword and enchanted gear can play together, but they have a rocky beginning. In his personal opinion his version of the Master Sword is the prettiest.

Hyrule- Never wielded the Master Sword and frankly is not sure he wants to. He's got a Shield spell to cover... everything she doesn't, true. But his world is kill or be killed, and he may not have a concept of shame, but he's very concerned about being stabbed and the Master Sword can generously be described as stabby lingerie. The others reassure him that she's very effective but really he's fine with his Magic Sword and leather.

Twilight- I'm very sorry but Midna definitely isn't. Twi might have the kind of werewolf powers where he can keep his clothes, but it's infinitely funnier to give him the double tap of werewolf powers AND a clothes destroying sword. She also generously accommodates his need to get used to wolf attacks by augmenting his body with claws and a bladed tail in human form every time he calls on her. Midna's thriving. Twilight is a little cold, actually, and wishes he could wear a towel or something. He'd rather perish than admit to being the Hero because the rumors got back home and his family is fully aware the Hero runs around with his buns out in combat. It's giving the kids bad ideas. He's suffering.

Wild- Literally living his best life. In Wild's opinion you need a decent amount of time naked in the woods to be healthy. He likes shiny, he likes aesthetic over practicality, and the Master Sword seems determined to accent his scars like a threat and a warning to whatever gave him those in the first place. She'll also give him cool exoskeleton stilt things for jumping up cliffs and trees, and claws for climbing. What's not to love? ...okay, the burning pain of drawing her and also the fact that she powers down and disintegrates off of him sometimes, but hey. It's not a wardrobe malfunction. It's a wardrobe opportunity.

Wind- He's the one who essentially held HER at gunpoint, not the other way around. Wind genuinely took the Master Sword by surprise and she didn't know how to handle him. Wind's not her master but he needs her and didn't take no for an answer, and she wasn't entirely sure how to handle the needs of a pirate anyway. The compromise: he got a gauntlet. A really cool stabby gauntlet. The only time she so much as ripped his shirt was during the fight with Ganondorf, where she gave him TWO gauntlets and some extra armor, plus foot claws for stability. He thought the legends of the Hero riding out to battle naked were thus extremely exaggerated.

Warriors- I am VERY sorry. Cia definitely isn't. However, the Master Sword responds to genuine emotional distress, and I think Cia's... everything constitutes enough of a threat that the Master Sword actually gave Warriors something approaching full plate. Weirdly organic and beautiful plate armor, but even so. By the end of the War of Ages he was very used to walking around in nothing but a layer of living steel. It was safer than anything else, anyway. If it helps, nobody remembers the early days when he and the Master Sword were figuring things out, since he wished it all away with the Triforce.

I hope you enjoy this look into what could be. Maybe I'll write something for this, I don't know. It's just been stuck in my head and I can't stop laughing.
