Votes are in, and it was decided we'd be using my designs for The Mage's Lantern for the DTIYS! I went for a DTIYS to celebrate 300 followers, mostly because I never got to do something for 200 like I said I would. ^^ Please check through the few rules before participating!

(Light) rules and references below the break!

Rules & Guidelines!

● Please include credit when participating!

• Tag @nocturnalfandomartist or @loz-untold-myths in the post!

• Use the tag: "#the mage's lantern DTIYS"

• Include a link to this post, if possible! Anyone can participate! ^^

● Posting:

• If you post on Tumblr, tagging me will help me be able to reblog it. All entries will be reblogged on @loz-untold-myths (and probably like 10 other times on my other sideblogs).

• PLEASE do not post contributions on Twitter (X). It festers a harmful environment for artists and scrapes hard work! If you're looking for an alternative, Bluesky has been such a nice community so far! ♡

• If posting on Bluesky, Instagram/Threads, or other sites, tag me there too! (If you're unsure if I have a certain social, just ask). Please link this post there as well in whatever way is most convenient for you (such as in the replies or the thread).

• There is NO deadline!

• A*I GENERATED ENTRIES ARE UNACCEPTABLE. But I don't expect any of you to stoop to that level! ♡

● Regarding designs:

• You may choose whether or not to render, hence the two versions.

• The "flats only" version above has their base colorscheme. It can be tweaked slightly in order to match your style - I have no problem with changing the colors to be more cohesive or changing the time of day!

• If any part of the composition proves a bit difficult, feel free to adjust it just a little. I know I ended up struggling with Link's head, so feel free to change it or their expressions if you'd like. The same goes for the tilt of the composition!

• Zelda and Link are both 14, if you need a general reference as to how they should look!

• You can find extra references below!

Flat Colors:

If you need to fill in any gaps, a lot of old art of them can be found on the Masterpost!

Thank you for 300! 💙

Time Elapsed: 8 hours, 50 minutes

Program Used: IbisPaint X

Reblogging for this post is encouraged, but please only repost the artwork within your entry with a link to this post! Thanks! ^^

I REACHED 300 AT SOME POINT?? I'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT TO CELEBRATE SOON
