The “Zelda and Sonia” cutscene is my favorite so far. I just thought Zelda talking about Link was so cute, while watching it you feel like "OMG SHE'S TALKING ABOUT ME....... 😳😳😳👀" while simultaneously remembering his true himbo nature.
Does this style look familiar?? I picked up a free trial of the weenie hut jr version of harmony, which is what I used to make my animations (well the better version of harmony that is :/). I wanted to flex my muscles with it in preparation to animate again…
I’ve been keeping quiet about this, but I REALLY want to make an animation with link and zelda. It’s something I’ve been thinking about doing for almost a year now. It’s hard to find time for animation lately, and the fact that harmony is so expensive doesn’t help. I’m going to look into alternative animation programs for future animations, but I’m hoping I can keep the style looking like the above. Right now commissions are my full time thing, but I’m going to try sprinkling in time for animating too!
I hope you're having a great day so far!! Please take care and remember to make time for yourself.
At the beginning of 2021, I started making this personal piece. At first were just a few images like these two scenes, to memorize and honor my sister.
Little by little it is coming to form a full picture - Bluebird in the wind. It also gave me the strength to go on.
It is for you, and for us.

And the finished animation is finally here, horray \o/
The rendering took me a lot of time, because at first I tried to shade every drawn frame, but it was extremely confusing to look at. So, copy-paste came to rescue me once again, I did some mental gymnastics here and there to get smooth transitions from one blended shape to another, aand here we are.
Halfway there I wasn't sure if I wanted it to look this way or if it even works, but thankfully the colors give a ton of late night mood, which, I think, gives another layer to it. Late night, you are alone with your thoughts and struggles, and someone comes to check up on you, if you are okay.
Sadly this didn't happen during the played out sessions, even though there was an opportunity to make it real. With the help of the party, Beau almost achieved what he wanted for almost a decade, but in the end, they failed due to circumstances they couldn't prepare for. I dare to say it was pretty depressing for him, and unfortunately, back then Thilia was still a bit afraid to handle the situation, knowing how impulsive her nature is. She wanted to help and offer her support, but since they weren't together at that point, it also didn't feel right for her to just tenderly touch his face :DD So she was just there, trying to be convincing about other possible methods - with no real success. She still plans on helping him as soon as an opportunity arises, even offering a wish spell if she ever gets one.
