Legend of Zelda AU Gift Exchange Interest Check

Hullo everyone! We have a huge announcement we're like to make: We're hosting a Legend of Zelda AU Gift Exchange.

What is the Legend of Zelda AU Gift Exchange? It's a gift exchange meant to celebrate the vast amount of AUs within the Legend of Zelda fandom, hosted by the Monstrous Fusion AU discord server! All AUs are welcome; whether those are a general LoZ AU or a Links Meet! The only catch is that these AUs must be server appropriate, which means they do not contain explicit NSFW content.

This project is for people of every skill level, both in art and writing! Once you send in your registration, you're in!

Proposed Timeline;

Sign-Ups Open: May 11th Sign-Ups Close: May 23rd Gift Assignments Release: May 27-28th Gift Creation Begins: May 28th Dropout Deadline: June 7th First Check-Ins: June 7th Second Check-in: June 17th Third Check-in: June 27th Gift Drop Off Days: June 29-30th

( Note; this is a tentative timeline. This means it isn't final! It can change, but this is the general consensus for the timeline.)

If there's enough interest in the project, we would love to make this an annual thing! There's a treasure trove of brilliant ideas and creative talent behind the Legend of Zelda fandom, and this gift exchange hopes to bring that community together and brighten someone's day! If you don't have your own AU, never fear! You can still join! You can request General LOZ content, or content from your favourite LoZ AU!

You do not have to be in the discord server to participate, but the event is connected to the server. All Updates will be on the temporary server! But we encourage most of the chatting to be done on the main server. You can find the invite here! (I'll go on a personal whim to say that the server is very lovely and it's a nice small community <3 We would love to see you there)

Feel free to reblog to get to more people!

We hope to see you all there! <3

Fandom experiment!

Post explanation below the cut!

There is not correct answer: I simply combined some traits I've seen on Links, Ravios, Shadows, Dark Links, etc, and tried to make someone non-descriptive. But on first glance, which character do you see? Or someone else?

The goal is to see how people read (re)designs in the fandom, but I'm not sure if it'll actually work. :P

#Loz #The legend of Zelda

Zelda blog game!

Send people who reblog this post zelda song titles in their ask boxes, and in turn they'll share their opinion on the song and maybe some memories they have connected to it!

If the song appears in multiple games, either specify which game's version you mean or let them pick.

#Ask game #Loz #(I'm not participating do not send me asks abt this) #(Just wanted to make a fun game for others!)

Uh hello :D!

Not sure if I should ask on this one or on your other blog but uh

What are your thoughts on Hildavio? (If you don’t want to answer you can just ignore this ask, I’m just curious)

Hey!

Hilda and Ravio from albw? Yea I can see them working as a romantic couple! Its cute and I can see why people ship it.

Personally I prefer exploring them in a non-romantic context. Although I do think they're in many ways platonic life partners.(Queerplatonic?) Those two wont go anywhere the other cant follow unless it is to save the other-- for better or worse.

I like to think one day they sort out their issues and find a balance of being close but not codependent. :)

I wanna design some Zeldas!! Can you write below which Zelda's you'd like to see that have either not appeared in the comic or have only appeared like once?

[minas-linkverse]

Did u notice? Every page now has links to the previous, next and first pages of this comic!! 🙌💛 No, I didn't spend two days to put them all on every page, that'd be ridiculous-- I paid a friend to do it.

My long time best friend who wanted to be credited as "The cowboy" took on the grueling task of going through every single page and adding the links! They also wrote up an interesting summary thingg

What they learnt on their few day adventure was that there are 116 updates of Linkverse in total, and 432 pages!! I'm. I can't believe I've drawn all that to be honest. Also the comic's longest update is the final part of Rabbit roadtrip with 10 pages!!

Please say thank you to my friend 💛😭 Love u, man

Also @t-5seconds, here's the timelapse of my digital process, if that can be of assistance! Have fun drawing out there, ppl!

i remember you mentioning before that you don't really do sketches- just get straight to the lineart. the sketching/lineart process takes way more time than everything else, for me, and i was wondering if you have any tips for doing it your way?

Here's a visual example of what the asker means ^

The answer to how I do this might not be what you want to hear: A lot of practice. I've put a frick ton of time into learning to draw fast, because it is a skill like any other with art.

I can share some quick tips on how I practised and my thinking process though, if people still are curious and may wanna give it a shot!

One of the main ways I practiced this was by using permanent pens and markers while doodling in school. I always disliked how pencil smudged so that came kinda naturally to me, but it was a huge help anyway!

When you work directly onto a pristine white canvas with no guideline you're forced to really think about where you put each line, and get over the fear of mistakes. By doing this you can grow a natural understanding of where the next thing you're going to draw should be.

(Sorry if the picture is not a good explanation, I've never been much a teacher. (Also for full disclosure I did use ctrl+z when drawing this example.)) Here I tried to picture how by having the face shape lined, I can use knowledge of anatomy and what looks good to place the eye of the character in. Then with the eye in I can "Unlock" more feature locations!

It also helps being familiar with the character... I've drawn the cast of this comic so many times that these boys just show up when I ask lol.

This approach has a lot of issues, like it can be very hard to keep a character design consistent. Another is that if u get too bogged down on doing the same thing that works you're going to start making some really stale looking art-- It's so important to not just draw what works but to go for ugly perspectives and weird experiments.

Still, I hope this can help someone! It's not a method that works for everyone, but it's a fun one to explore :)

I'm really sorry to ask this, and feel free to ignore! But is there anyway you might be able to add a previous link on the pages? If not that's okay, I just have a hard time making sure I'm reading in order and when I catch up I end up reading it backwards 😅. No worries if not!

Also, thank you for this comic! It's genuinely so sweet and I love your style and the way you use colors! The ability to write a good story and do the art can be pretty hard and taxing, and you do such a good job of it. Thank you!

Haha I'm gonna take it as a compliment that you think I have the mental focus and time to set that up 😋

Unfortunately this comic's archiving is likely to always suffer from the fact its ran by an artist who does not enjoy maintaining lists and stuff. 😔 I try to keep the full comic list updated and the webtoons as well, but I'm sure long time followers have seen how that is going. (Better than I expected though! At least we HAVE an archive!)

I really appreciate your kind words though, and am extremely thankful for people keeping up with my mess despite the trouble💛 It means the world to me.
