[ID: A colored, digital illustration of Link and Marin from Link's Awakening. It is a bird's eye view of the scene where Link washes up on Toronbo Shores, with one difference: Link is a mermaid.

Link rests her head on her right arm, wet hair spilling over her shoulder. Her hat, scabbard and shield are resting in the waves next to her; her tail drapes behind her as water laps at her scales. She has pink hair and a bit of a tan. Marin kneels and reaches out a hand tentatively. She is a woman of color with brown skin and russet curls. Both of their faces are obscured. end id]

#srb #rlly happy w this so u get to look at it again

How do you work out the composition of your drawings? That mermaid one is so beautiful and i need to know how you did it 😭😭💖💖💖💖

also i love your art and blog so much 😌

(in reference to this drawing)

hiya! i won't be particularly helpful when it comes to this, because most of my composition either stems from an idea in my head or fucking around and finding out. i don't tend to think about the fundamentals because they're engrained in my head, lol

however! i took out my trusty tablet and stylus and did a bit of analysis on the drawing you're talking about, in hopes that it'll help :]

general composition stuff. when i came up with this, i knew the diagonal wave was something i wanted to do. it's inspired by the official art of marin finding link on the beach in concept and pose, but the composition is drastically different because i wanted to focus more on the characters and didn't care about the egg for this one. i chose to put them slightly off center to make it interesting, and to balance out the weight link's tail would add to the drawing.

here are some contrast choices i made. don't underestimate the power they have for your composition! when you think about composition, the path your eye follows is important, and contrast is one of the influences on that path. link and marin have the highest contrast so your eye instantly jumps there and likes to linger there. there's some gradients to make the background fade into closer contrast so you look at them a bit less. this contrast method was also applied to her shield: if it popped too much, you'd want to look at that instead of the characters. you'll also notice i increased the saturation as well for link and marin, which is another determining factor for where your eye goes.

i hope this was helpful! thank you for the question, it was fun to analyze my own work <3

#ask #snail-studios #not described #<- sorry guys just feeling a bit lazy #i'm really happy you liked the drawing! i'm rlly proud of it #my analysis is a bit over the place #i forgot to turn the opacity down after doing my values analysis. oops #undescribed #THAT'S the tag. mb

[ID: A colored, digital comic featuring characters from Dey's Links Meet AU with a focus on Mask. The colors are muted and warm.

The group walk through a forest marked as "Rancher's Era." Rancher leads the group, commenting that they're "Almost there". Tiny, Tracks, Mask, Vet and Sky follow behind him, in that order.

"Oh, how sad..." someone says. A skeleton rests against a tree, sword and shield in hand, wearing the Hero's Shade armor. Mask's shadow casts upon the skeleton, their head lining up right with the skull.

Mask furrows their brow, expression near indiscernible.

"Kid, hurry up!" Mask rolls their eyes and turns to follow.

Sky waves to Mask as they run ahead to catch up. Their eyes are not visible. End ID]

[ID: An edited screenshot of a group chat, now containing Zelda, Daruk and Revali from Age of Calamity.

Zelda: Link and I renewed our vows today. 20 years of marriage in the books ❤

Daruk: So lovely!! Here's to another 20 🍾

Revali: (sends a photo of something he cooked) Homemade Ricotta Flatbread. End ID]

hey this is INCREDIBLY funny but i also raise you

[ID: The same image as above, but Revali has been swapped out for Link. End ID]

Zelda: well that’s a rude reply

Link, now wanting flatbread: no, no, he has a point

sorry for bugging you. again blskdjfkdjkf but i NEEEEDDDD to know after that comic. Is Rancher aware that one of them will become the hero's shade in your au?? Does he even know heroshade is a past hero?

love heros-shade-fanclub

haven't really thought abt this much before, BUT. i do think he'd be aware. he doesn't know which one. he won't tell anybody cuz he's like that. hope this helps <3
