"The Phoenix and Turtle" - William Shakespeare.

[kheprriverse]

Goddess Majora, Embodiment of Chaos. Also just a really large bug.

Below the cut is some lore + a little bit of me rambling about Majora’s design (and then a little more ab hylia)

Some Majora Lore

Not created by the golden goddesses but instead came to be from Hylia and Demise’s growing conflict with one another. After attempting to take Hylia down herself, Majora was then sealed away underneath the canyons of Ikana.

She would, later on at least, be reawakened by a still-mortal Ko’jin as Hylia’s seal began to weaken. She fled deeper into Ikana’s canyons and disguised herself as one of its people. Coincidentally, Ikana’s missing queen reunited with her people around the same time.

Ko’jin is chosen by Golden Goddess Farore to be her opposition.

Design thoughts

Some changes from her previous post, a more simple design so I can draw her more often. I really like her new wing patterns, mimicking phoenix (or peacock) feathers as a couple other deities do as well. She’s just a bit more obvious about it.

A lot of the deities, spirits, and other characters that answer under Hylia (or are allied with her) have diamonds in their designs as an homage to her as a common theme (FD’s dragon whiskers as an example). Majora just straight takes the pheonix feathers and runs with it. No diamonds on this damn bug, just pure imitation.

On that note, though, it makes me kinda wanna redesign her antennae to go further. But we’ll see how I feel when I start drawing her more.

“It’s just a turtle dove, in the eaves.”

“Perhaps… Perhaps not. It casts a long shadow for a bird.”

Nickistat again. Not pictured: Magnus hanging from the outer windowsill by his toes.

Anyway did y’all know in the Renaissance, European Turtle Doves were symbolized as the devoted lovers of Phoenixes? Which is explored deeper in a poem called Love’s Martyr?

Saint Beasts' X-ing

Finally the series is completed. Over a year in the making, thank you everyone that followed and supported me. I started getting back into art when I first made the white tiger piece and kicked off the series. I'm so happy seeing them all together

I just wanted to draw something for each game I beat in 2023. In requote from my main post, I leave a comment or two on each game.
