#oot redesign

[grooviestsadpapaya]

This design is. A lot. But that’s kind of the intent so,, SOH Mikau redesign!! Uhhh I will be designing the rest of the Indigogos too, but yk. I tried to make him look like a scene kid, and I think I kind of succeeded, but he looks more like if Harry Styles had a fursona who then had a jojo siwa era. Also designing him allowed me to come up with some more stuff for the zoras!! Yippee!!

There are three aristocratic zora families, which I don’t have names for yet, so I’ll call them the royals, the blues, and the reds. Design-wise, the royals are deep-sea creatures, and the reds and blues are…. Well. Red and blue. Politic-wise, the blues are steeped in Zora tradition (matriarchs, holidays, art, etc), the reds are more progressive (shift in political systems, acceptance, athletics), and the royals are devoted to getting the Hylians away from the Domain (quality of life, feeding the hungry, recovering lost soldiers). Since the disappearance of the last zora queen (who was a royal) the domain has been divided in three, debating over who should take the unoccupied throne. The blues want Princess Ruto to rule, the Royals want to focus on finding and recovering the previous queen, and the reds want Prince Sidon.

Mikau, the Sage of Water, distanced himself from the world of the blues because he wanted to pursue music with his childhood friends instead. He’s haughty and arrogant but well loved by a lot of the domain. A lot of Zora elders don’t like him because he’s. Emo. He’s got kind of a Jacob V Edward thing with Sidon tho; a lot of people in the domain like to debate on who’s hotter bc 👍 I think it’s FUNNY

~What i couldve been~

I was just gonna do the adult timeline zelda but im so enchanted by the idea of these two versions of the same character. People always talk about how link would be changed but never zelda.

Totk reminded me of my old ideas for a Saria redesign. I was thinking about how the kokiri are forest spirits taking the form of hylian children, and in a big way to me thats felt like them wanting to seem more relatable and safe to baby link. I thought it could be interesting if it wasn’t a perfect transformation, and more of their plant elements remain even though they try their best to look hylian.

(i took some inspiration from @robogart ‘s saria, u guys should check out their art)

Redesign of ocarina of time's Zelda!!

I don't have a problem with her original design, i get that they were going for a more shocking transformation for the twist, but for me personally it never really vibed

this design was done with the intent to kinda stay true to Zelda's identity as sheik, and the fact that they're a fuckin ninja in this game is so very cool, and it's kinda sad that they ditch it for the ending.

so I had her "reveal" design be just a down dressing of her disguise. still sheik, still ninja, just also zelda.

Notes on my thought process drawing them under the cut because I love sharing my thoughts :)

Mido was the easiest to draw because he's pretty much exactly like his canon design, I only made some small tweaks. The little elements that I did add were to further emphasize the peter pan-ness of his look-- I don't know if that was intended by the developers originally designing him or not, but esp with the upwards pointy hat and the green clothes, Mido happens to already look very peter pan-y. This works for me because I feel like Mido really well showcases some of the negative aspects of peter pan as a character (the story itself is a whole other industrial size oil barrel of worms) ie his immaturity and selfishness, so I enjoyed leaning into that reference a little. Either way he's the pure embodiment of 'little shithead' and I enjoy him very much actually.

Fado was also pretty easy to put together, I sort of melded some elements from Wind Waker Fado because (tosses Fado at you) woe transgender kokiri be upon ye. This version of Fado has yet to gender-trans tho, that's kind of something that's just brewing for now. I'm having a lot of fun with them in the rewrite as a very deadpan, monotone and blunt kind of character. The thing that I ended up messing with the most was actually their hair colour. All the Kokiri in the game have blond hair and blue eyes (except Saria who has green hair and blue eyes) and I thought that was cringe so Fado is the only one in this lineup who still has blue eyes, but I made them very icy and piercing in a sort of "imm shaking im so scared please put some brown contacts on her" sort of way (slash ref)

Saria's a sweet little muffin cutie patootie precious cabbage roll sweet potato pie. I made her the shortest of this lineup, but her and Link are actually very close in height. Overall her design is also pretty much the same, but I changed up the colours all a bit bc a) Kokiri diversity reasons and b) oh god so much green help help me she was so so green oh my god it's so saturated and intense aaahhhhh. So as a whole I made her whole colour palette darker and slightly less saturated, and her hair is still green but a much darker forest-y green. Plus I made her shorts longer because she's a kid who plays in the woods all day she should have more suitable outdoor shorts.

Oh yeah and they all have pockets now. if there's one thing I know for sure about Kids Who Play Outside is they're always putting shit in their pockets. Pebbles and sticks and leaves and worms and stuff. Biohazard pockets as far as the eye can see

Skipping ahead a bit because we’re a bit unfinished with the c-di fam, so anyways~

Back at the Legend of Zelda race headcanon design grind

[krysmcscience]

Ten plus years sure does make a pretty big difference when it comes to art and design, huh o-o

I had intended to finish this by April 1st, because only a fool would willingly put this much effort into designing and then REdesigning what is probably the most infamous self-insert in Legend of Zelda fandom history, but. Obviously, that did not pan out, and yet - alas. The fool is still me.

So, uh, yeah. Here she is.

Jenna.

From 'My Inner Life'.

I'd say 'enjoy', but...it's Jenna from 'My Inner Life'.

If you don't know what 'My Inner Life' is? Good. Keep it that way. If you want to know what it is, anyway? Well. Google exists, I guess, but...don't say I didn't warn you. <:)

(Also, full disclosure, the background is promotional art from Ocarina of Time 3D's release, and I reused it for posterity's sake. ...And also because I'm lazy. XD)
