#obligatory master kohga

[saibasimian]

Finished my take on what I'd see Kohga wearing as a casual fit

I've always seen him as the type to be just as casual as he is laid back so I've given him a traditional samurai garb adorned with the Yiga eye motif completed with thin hanafuda earrings and a pair of red armored geta. I didn't want to go too over the top (originally looked for other references like Honda's concept art for SF6 and Ganondorf's TotK garb) so I settled for something subtle instead

I've also settled for a darker skin tone given the fact the base lies in the desert highlands and he often than not leaves his lackeys to travel to the far corners of Hyrule

How did you train Sooga? I mean did you see those glorious pecs that man had, before he..you know, died?

YES I SAW

Very closely.

And yes I, the brilliant Master Kohga, made those! Same way I stretched every Yiga's splits and choreographed every Yiga's flips.

Extensive matrail arts training is obligatory for all members of the clan, you know.

But this is very important:

I can show a clan member the techniques and the reps and plan out the routine. But I can't put in the effort in their place.

Encouragement can only go so far even with the best of tutors. Which I am.

And Sooga, frankly, had something very wrong with him.

In the best way obviously. He put in all the effort. Never once saw him slacking since he was a child. And to you who never trained a group of people that might sound normal, I promise to you it's not.

Gains are all about consistency above all else. I've trained some very broken people, people who really connected to Yigjutsu as a way of patching up holes in their souls. As well as Yiga who just fell in love with the art of killing and genuinely couldn't get enough of training.

Even those Yiga had bad days. Days when they didn't quite feel it, woke up on the wrong foot, whatever.

Sooga Never Did.

Not once. I've trained him for YEARS, and he would do everything with maximum output, day after day, without cheating on a SINGLE movement.

When I say Soogs was special I mean it!

If the Shadowfolk had our own Divine Beast Sooga would've piloted it, no qestion.

A Mid-Year Update On Moonset Music

Good day, everyone! Since it’s just about the middle of the year, I wanted to share a couple of small updates about my channel’s stats and my personal goals. Click below if you’re interested!

New Content

In total, I have created 2 hours, 47 minutes and 16 seconds of new content this year. Just under 2 hours and 41 minutes are publicly available, with the remaining six minutes or so part of forthcoming projects. These are spread over 28 publicly released videos, plus an extra four forthcoming videos. I have been busy this year!

Sources of Inspiration:

I have made chip tunes based on the following properties. New properties are in bold, and linked ones have their own playlists:

Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Animal Crossing (General)

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

The music of J.S. Bach

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

Japanese folk music

Heaven Official’s Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

As you can see, I’ve had a chance to really expand my horizons this year!

Most Popular Videos

Thus far, my top 10 videos by views are as follows. Videos published in bold are new this year:

10. Red Thread Tied Around a Finger 9. Resetti’s Theme 8. Ocarina of Time Minigame 7. Hogwarts Grounds 6. Master Kohga’s Theme 5. Kakariko Village 4. Stone Tower Temple Upside Down 3. Happy Hogwarts 2. Stone Tower Temple 1. Deku Pałace

Yearly Goal Updates

I had hoped that in 2023, I would end the year with 1000 watch hours from this year alone and 200 total subscribers. I started the year with 80 subscribers, so I need to gain 120 this year.

I’m at about 482 watch hours, or 18 hours off being halfway to my goal, and at 135 subscribers. I’ve gained 55 of those subscribers this year, so am 5 off where I should be at the halfway mark. In short, it could be better.

(Obligatory: please listen to something if you’d be willing! Every minute counts)

Expansion Onto Other Platforms:

I recently made a Carrd website. Check it out here!!

This year, I have also begun distributing some of my music to other platforms through DistroKid. Thus far, I’ve only distributed one song like that (hyperfollow available here), but am hoping to have another finished project on there by the end of the year. It’s a little tricky, because Distrokid charges a hefty $12 per cover of music that’s not in the public domain, which means for my full catalogue of chip tunes to make it onto there I’d need to be shelling out a yearly $468, which I simply do not have. So to truly expand my non-YouTube profile, I will need to do more stuff in the public domain - classical music, very old popular music, or folk songs, basically. That is some of my least popular stuff on YouTube, however - all three of my least popular chiptunes are the three that I created to share on other platforms. You can see the dilemma here!

I’ve also started to a Ko-Fi and Patreon this year. I’m hoping to get 2 supporters by the end of the year at any tier. If you want to join, I’ve got a $1 tier on patreon and $3 and $5 tiers on both platforms. It would mean a lot to me!!

Went out and got a fresh new pocket sized sketchbook today and decided to draw Kohga in his glory as a quick sketch

Finally....after 245 hours of gameplay...
