The main 9

[bokettochild]

Quite frankly, this is one of the few chapters that actually just rushed down on me like a wave on the sea! Something about those little moments of peace- the calm before the storm, that makes things come easy :)

queers them into oblivion

[arecaceae175]

trick or treat ^_^

(First Part) (<- Previous Part)

As soon as the door opened, the shouting commenced.

"Sky! Four! Hyrule!"

"You're late!"

"Finally!"

"Disqualified!"

"Give us a second to breathe, sheesh," Four said playfully as he toed off his boots.

"We're barely late," Hyrule said.

"Nineteen minutes and thirty four seconds," Time said without looking up from where he was sorting his candy.

"From when the door opened or to right now?" Wind asked.

"Door."

"Cool. Still disqualified."

"You can't disqualify us," Hyrule said.

"Why not?" Legend asked. "Your candy bags are full. How do we know you didn't get extra candy?"

Sky collapsed onto the couch with a deep sigh. "I just had to take a break, Vet. Too much walking."

It wasn't a total lie, Sky had rationalized to Four and Hyrule. The bags under his eyes stood out sharply, even though his face was reddened from exertion. His joints throbbed and his head hurt in the way he knew meant he had too much sugar and not enough water.

"Worth it though," Sky added with a grin as he tossed another candy into his mouth.

"Water, please," Warriors said as he handed Sky a freshly filled cup. Sky grinned in thanks as he took the cup and drained it.

Legend narrowed his eyes, gaze darting between Sky, Four, and Hyrule. Four smiled cheerily. Hyrule smiled at Legend for a respectable amount of time before he announced that he was going to the bathroom.

Legend hummed and crossed his arms. "Wind, what do you think?"

"As the official organizer of the first annual Halloween candy competition, I say it's fine. This time! But next time, you're disqualified."

"Woo," Sky cheered weakly.

"Wait a second," Four said. "Legend, is your costume Warriors in a crisis?"

"HAH! He gets it!" Legend whipped around to face Warriors and grinned wildly in his face. Warriors yelled a groan and collapsed next to Sky on the couch.

"Help me," Warriors muttered. He leaned towards Sky slowly, clearly giving Sky time to move away if he didn't want the contact. Sky pat Warriors on the head and pulled him into his lap.

"There, there. You'll survive probably," Sky said with a chuckle.

Guys! Guys! Hey! Hey, guys! I have discovered revolutionary technology, guys. *hands everyone a camelback with a bag of trail mix, a bag of dum dums, a bag of gummy bears, and a bag of Werthers caramels in each* You’re welcome

Hyrule: I CAN LIVE FOREVER!!!!!!

Legend: QUICK SOMEONE STOP HIM BEFORE HE BURNS THIS WHOLE FIELD DOWN.

Wild: So I'm guessing that this stuff has a lot of sugar in it....

Twilight: What tipped you off?

My initial thoughts on the new update

In the first panel with the innkeeper, he is admiring a rupee. When the postman shows up, he looks super annoyed XD.

I’m getting the impression that Jojo has a passion for languages based on the tags for this one and the whole Minish-Japanese-English thing.

Confirmed: Sky is a late sleeper. (Yay! Sky gets some screentime!) Also, his sailcloth is really long, like cloak.

The mailman says “Da na na na naaaa!” The “you got a new thing!” song from the games.

In the panel right before the smith laughs at Four, the mailman is in the background, skipping away. He must put the flags away when he goes inside a building.

The scene with the smith laughing at a sad Four is funny. I like how the view is angleddown to make Four look even smaller.

When Hyrule, Warriors, and Wind come to join Four in swordmaking, Hyrule does not in fact have a crop top on. Is that Warriors’ fire rod or Legend’s? I know Warriors does have one in his game.

Warrirs tells Four needs practice with teamwork and that is definitely the case based on what happened when he split in front of Wild. He’s probably laughing because of the irony. But unfortunately, he can’t explain the joke the others yet. (And he doesn’t have his own sword with him right now, so he can’t show his party trick to the others right now no matter how funny that would be.)

Do you think that they’ll be successful at forging a sword for Wild? Probably because that’s how Four plans to make amends with Wild. But it would be really funny if they didn’t and that became the running joke of the comic that Four in fact cannot forge a sword for Wild that won’t break.

One more thing: Time is missing. He hasn’t been in this comic or the last one, he’s the only one unaccounted for. So where is he? Is he on a walk in the woods to clear his mind? Is he going back to the battleground? Will he find that the enemy’s evil axe is gone and instead there’s a portal? 👀

[veggiecorner]

Companion Zelda would be great but imagine having previous Links as companions

[lize-the-prophet]

4D and Astor. Or 2B, either way. 2B kinda gives off Flynn Carsen from The Librarians(the show ran from 2014 to 2018) vibes.

Thanks for the ask Anon ! And sorry for answering this… I don’t even know. At least 6 months late.😭

But anyway, hey lads, guess what, Victor’s back !

I took a big break (because no motivation, hyperfixation sadly going away and school), but during this break, my art got a lot better ?? Anatomically most of all. And I’m happy.

I also changed my artsyle a bit (lineart is back wewoo) and changed my Astor design, and now he kinda looks like Nick Cave and Peter Murphy.

[birdboy-blues]

never will forget the gay porn I watched where the director quietly told the bottom to “lose the anime voice” and you could see overwhelming disillusionment form in his eyes

Game Night: CHAIN ATTACK!!!

i am,,, withering away but ITS DONE ITS DONE IM FREE FROM THE CURSE (<<< still haunted by wips) clocking in at 32+ hours, this sucker has been getting pushed around for 10 months-

while theres some things i would have done differently if i could redo this from scratch, i still had a BLAST cramming in as much detail as i could tolerate >:) some highlights / cut ideas / ramblings are below the cut, but please zoom for details! (if tumblr doesnt shred it to bits)

gonna be real i locked so hard onto drawing ripped jeans that i forgot i could have just shoved legend into a skirt and called it a day

SOCKS. SOCKS. the amount of Joy anytime i figured out how to personalize them with game references: legend (hibiscus), twilight (ordon goats), and four (force gems)

i WAS going to put time in a turtleneck, but had an epiphany and started digging for the most obnoxious hawaiian shirts i could find,,, ft. a sea flower (wind waker) and a saturation boosted plumm (twilight princess)!

yeah so warriors got the sweater instead of the skintight shirt, sorry gang

speaking of if i ever say im going to draw a cableknit sweater again, somebody PLEASE shake some sense into me- warriors sweater was a NIGHTMARE since my art program has an astonishing lack of good brushes (and yet here i am still using it)

MOST of the text has been modified using the twilight princess cipher because yeah. i was procrastinating shading. also the other ciphers were in japanese- times shirt is cropped, but reads "its 5 oclock somewhere"

winds lobster shirt :) that is all i just think its neat

wilds jacket :) link w(ild) 2017, aka the release year of botw

jewelry! sky has the fireshield earrings, and wild has the amber earrings~ could barely squeeze the bombos and quake medallions onto legend, and wind got the joy pendant

hyrule :D embroidery on his sweatpants because i was struck by whimsy- also i 100% thought his shield was purple tinted for weeks while drawing this because the page i used as reference was set at night, and i was originally basing his sweater on his shield- scrapped the cross pattern after several failed attempts but kept the color ^^

the chips are bbq because im biased (reads "crisps" in twilight princess cipher for no real reason except whimsy)

bless my dearest homie for game reccs because the og plan was to have them all be loz games! titles include wii sports resort, elebits, super mario party, smash bros ultimate, just dance 2016 (its box art is colorful ok), and myth makers orbs of doom (I HATE THIS GAME WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING, as i should, anyways i should play it again). four is suggesting orbs of doom, buddy aint even playing,,,

kinda was hoping to play around with hair colors and skin tones a bit more, but again, see the hour count- ill get em next time surely,,, also blue vs violet eyes for legend already had me in decision paralysis

the whole gang was gonna have friendship bracelets with color combos based on dynamics i found neat but oops! didnt finish the layer :')

thats a wrap! didnt yap about everything but im curious what yall catch onto- anyways surely ive learned something about biting off more than i can chew (<<< lying liar who lies)

[nell0-0]

I am totally in love with your design for young Link/Mask it's adorable and full of mischief. Your Hyrule Warriors comics are amazing. I know this isn't an ask but thank you!

Mask being a little shit is like, my favorite thing ever. Warriors is so confused. The fact Mask is not technically lying, tho-

Glad you like them! Dw about proper asks or whatever, I love getting these, so ty!

[maesonc-artistic-adventures]

Based on Chapt 13 of @cutebutalsostabby ‘s fanfic “Big Oof 2022, aka Whumptober”

“‘You,’ Hyrule declared furiously, ‘are an absolute, complete dumbass.’

Lying prone on the ground with a deeply pissed-off mage looming above his head, it was rather difficult for Warriors to argue the point. He gave a weak thumbs up and croaked back, ‘Yep.’

Hyrule shook his head disbelievingly and announced, ‘You and Legend give me shit for this all the time, but you’re both equally as bad.’

Warriors nodded. ‘Very true,’ he rasped peaceably. ‘Be sure to learn from our bad examples.’”

————————————

Hyrule and Warrior’s dynamic is so excellent and few do it as well as this fic!

[ixtaek]

Reasons why each Link should have been the last to officially join the chain:

Wild: Chronologically last

Time: Oldest, has real job

Sky: Slept through the first few attempts to call him through the portal

Warriors: Not canon

Twilight: Confused for dog

Wind: Somehow always just left the island before they arrive, he should be on the next one, honest (all the residents of the Great Sea are lying to them)

Legend: Saw another adventure coming and took too long to decide on what to pack

Four: Got lost in the grass at Minish size

Hyrule: Saw a portal and wisely walked the opposite way

A New Years’ gift for @seatrisa ! This was for a Discord server gift exchange, and the only rule to follow was that the giftee likes happy endings. So Time is here with his Great Fairy Mask to save the day! I hope you like your gift, Seatrisa!

I was going to write a little drabble to go along with this but I got caught up in making the art itself. (I may have spent a LOT of hours on this.) Might add on later =)

8 x 11 in. Black ink, alcohol markers, colored pencils, acrylic paint, and gel pen.

[IMG: A marker drawing of a scene with Hyrule, Legend, Warriors, Four, and Time from Linked Universe. Hyrule is lying on the ground, unconscious, covered in blood from a stomach wound. The ground around him is also covered in blood. Legend is kneeling by Hyrule’s head, clutching his shoulders and lifting him slightly. He is shouting and his expression is somewhere between angry and panicked. Warriors is kneeling at Hyrule’s side, taking Hyrule’s pulse with his right hand and resting his other arm on his own knee. Warriors is talking quietly to Four, who is kneeling by Hyrule’s feet, pulling the stopper out of a bottle of red potion. Behind them all, Time is running towards the group, holding the Great Fairy Mask in his right hand. Around Time fly four fairies of varying colors. The background is a well-lit forest with bushes and grass.]

And once again, I love my own lineart, so here’s the image before I added all those damned colors to it.

[IMG: Lineart of the above scene. The black pen drawing uses contour lines to denote shadows.]

Day 20: enemy to caretaker, kinda? Image desc under cut!

<<previous || next>>

Page One

Panel one: We return to the Four-like figure lying on the ground from the last page of the first part. There are swirls of red on the ground around him.

Panel two: Wild, lit in white, looks worried and has his slate out. He says: ��He’s in a puddle of Malice… that can’t be good. …where did it come from?” Time stands in the middle of the panel, one eye open, holding the Biggoron sword and looking fierce. On the right of the panel, Twilight turns back into a human with black flecks, and looks worried as he looks like he’s running. He says: “I got him!”

Panel three: This panel takes up the rest of the page. At the bottom, Twilight kneels in the puddle of Malice to pick up the Four-like figure, saying “ow ow ow” the whole time. There are a few speech bubbles to show a conversation, with little names to show who’s speaking.

Twilight says, “—ow ow ow—”

Wild says, “Twilight, get out of the Malice!”

Twilight says: “We gotta get him out! ow ow ow—”

Warriors says: “Do we? It came out of shadows…”

Twilight says: “Doesn’t mean he’s evil, look at me—ow ow ow—”

Legend says: “Then hurry up and stop burning yourself!” “idiot.”

Page Two

Panel one: We see the inside of a stable and a few of the Links gathered around. All of the characters have white highlights in their hair and eyes from now on unless specified. Twilight lays the Four-like figure down on the bed, and we see from the way the body moves that it behaves like a normal body, with the same bones and everything. Hyrule leans up against one of the bed posts, frowning. We see Wild in profile, holding his slate and also looking pensieve. We see the back of Warriors’s head, and he has a hand up to his chin and a hand on his hip. Hyrule says: “So what do you think?” 

Warriors’s reply overlaps the panel break. “I don’t know yet. A dark shadow of Four can only be trouble. Right?”

Panel two: We see the Four-like figure from above, laying on the bed with one arm over his waist, eyes closed. All the other characters are shown from the tops of their heads. Twilight says: “He doesn’t look much like trouble.” Warriors replies: “Yet. Hopefully he’ll know a bit about whatever happened to Four.”

Panel three: Hyrule holds his hands out for Twilight, whose forearms have red streaks on them to indicate that he got some Malice goop on them. Hyrule says: “I don’t like that the Malice burned Twilight and NOT the shadow Four. I can’t help get it off. Sorry.” 

Page Three

Panel one: A closeup of Shadow’s face (it is him. He is drawn with spikier hair than Four’s blunt bob, and his hood is constantly moving.) He is frowning and says “mmm…”

Panel two: Shadow sits up suddenly, and his eyes are red. “LINK?” he says. Hyrule and Twilight, both standing nearby, look startled. 

Panel three: Warriors stands on the left, arms folded. He says: “What do you want with him?” Wild passes, holdling his cloak over his arm, and says: “Good grief, Wars, this isn’t an enemy interrogation.”

Panel four: We see the world from Shadow’s point of view, down the bed. Hyrule looks over suspiciously. Twilight leans on the bed post, saying: “You’re safe here. Who are you to Link?” Warriors looks suspicious. Wild just looks curious.

Page Four

Panels one and two: Shadow stands up on the bed and declares, “I’m his SHADOW. duh.” In the next panel on the right, he looks up at the ceiling and speaks some more. “I know who you guys are. Obviously. I see everything.” His eyes are black, and the shines in them are white like everyone else’s.

Panel three: We see Shadow’s head on the left and repeated on the right. He looks more and more concerned as he speaks. “I could almost touch him… —finally— But something got in the way…”

Panel four: Shadow, standing on the bed, starts to twist around to look at his own shadow on the wall behind him. His hood is shaped like a sharp lightning bolt. He shouts, “LINK! If you’re in [underlined] my shadow, give me a sign!!”

Panel five: A speech bubble from someone unknown makes Shadow calm down: “That isn’t where he is.”

Page Five

Panel one: We see the bottom of the bed again, but just Twilight on the left and Warriors on the right this time. Legend stands in the middle, holding the Four Sword. He says: “He was possessed by something and left this. You don’t happen to know what got him, do you?” and then Legend adds: “also, you’re scaring the stable people. Get down.”

Panel two: This is just part of Shadow’s face. His mouth is open wide, and so are his eyes. He has fangs in his mouth. He shouts: “You let him get POSSESSED?!?!”

Panel three: Shadow has his hands in his hair, and his hood is straight. He looks insanely worried. He says: “What are we doing here, then?” 

Panel four: Shadow starts to get off the bed and says: “We gotta go get him!”

Panel five: We see the bottom of the bed again, but the camera shifts right to show us Legend on the left, Warriors in the middle, and Wild on the right. Warriors says: “That’s the problem—we don’t know where he is. Or if we can trust you—” His words are cut off by a large exclamation in the corner from an unknown speaker: “THE VILLAGE IS ON FIRE!!” 

A tiny speech bubble under that is labeled “Shadow” and says “Found him.”

Page Six

Panel one: We see the bottom of the bed again, but this time from the other side. Warriors holds up a hand and says: “Wild, Legend, with me, we’ll check it out—” But Shadow appears on Twilight’s other side with a very wide-open mouth. He says: “I’M COMING TOOOoooooo…”

The “too” extends down and winds down until it’s just a wobbly line connecting to Shadow’s next speech bubble in the next panel.

Panel two: Hyrule, worried, catches Shadow, whose cheeks are shaded, by the armpits. Shadow says: “ooh, I don’t feel so good.”

Panel three: Warriors says: “Yeah, no. We don’t even know you. Stay here, rest. If it [underlined] is Four, we’ll get him.” Shadow says: “But saving Link is [underlined] my job…”

Panel four: Warriors on the left and Twilight on the right, both in profile. Twilight says: “I can help, too.” Warriors says: “Not with that on your hands, still. Get the Malice off and then we’ll talk. Doesn’t it hurt?” Twilight responds: “Well, yeah, but—”

Panel five: Shadow, looking slightly more aware, looks up. He says: “Malice? The goopy dark stuff? I can help.”

Panel six: Shadow walks over to Twilight with his hands extended. He says: “Lemme see. Gross.” Twilight holds his own red-streaked hands up with a frown. He says: “Kinda stings…”
