He’s a blacksmith’s apprentice with secret long locks.
I like to think that in this timeline, the people of hyrule had known zelda and link’s purpose from birth, but nefarious forces stole him away so that he didn’t grow up with the knowledge of who he is destined to be! (Zelda will be next )
Since I got a lot of asks about my LoZ OC here’s a little lineup.
Her name is Lotte (pronounced “lott”) because when I created her at 13yo she was straight up a self insert. She looks and acts nothing like me now but I’ve never been able to change her name.
She was pretty much always supposed to be Telma’s adoptive daughter but as time passed I wasn’t sure I liked that anymore, so I’m keeping the possibility of Lotte being her biological child open. She’s half Gerudo and half Hylian (honestly I don’t know if this is possible but still).
She grew up in Hyrule Castle Town close to the many people around her mother’s tavern.
I liked to fantasise about her meeting Zelda as children one time she sneaked through the tavern’s secret way to the castle and them becoming good friends. All until someone in the castle noticed and prohibited Zelda to ever meet Lotte again.
I also shamelessly ship her with Link. She meets him for the first time when they’re teens and he’s in town for TP plot reasons. I don’t know what happens next but they become adults and have three kids.
So I’m still working on that map and I’m in too deep with the worldbuilding lore. Until then, here’s a set of sketches I’ve made some time ago featuring Wild’s Family! They’re based on draft storylines I have for them so far.
Also I just wanted to draw this:
<:3c
also shoutout to @garryktevar for helping me out with the family lore building!
A jerkass dad is about to get rekt. (ft. Fenrir from @growingupgerudo and Jun, my OC!Link’s Dad)
I know Fenrir gets his comeuppance but I’m pretty sure that every GUG reader wanted to throw hands at this guy.
Also, its jerkass dads like Fenrir is the sole reason why I created Jun’s existence. His backstory and designs were afterthoughts lmao:
(From 2019). There are too many jerkass dads for Link. So I made a dad that’s supportive and wholesome and is willing to throw hands at dads who are jerks to their childrens.
A Hylian blacksmith, a Sheikah clan hopeful, and a runaway Deku princess cross paths on the road to adventure!
What started as landscape practice and playing with new brushes turned into a full-fledged illustration of characters from the “Reclaim the Wild” Zelda campaign I’m in~ (My boy Felix is the one up front with the bun.)
I used Devin Elle Kurtz’s foliage brushset for this, and it’s the most fun I’ve ever had with anything involving detailed grass and trees, so I highly encourage anyone to try these out if you’re like me and absolutely dread rendering foliage: https://tamberella.gumroad.com/l/kvOkg
My official OC Lineup! These are my most used OCs over the course of different fandoms and universes that have been around since I was starting out as an artist.
PLEASE DO NOT REPOST OR TAKE DESIGNS FOR YOUR OWN. If you see anyone posting my characters on … lets say, Amiino app… please report them. I get my characters stolen a lot!
Link deserves better dads like Jun! Get his ass, Jun! Crossing fingers for a Zelda game where we actually get to see Link have a family again like Wind Waker! Thank you so much for this!
i’m so sorry i keep disappearing, school has been kicking my fucking ass BUT i actually got to turn a capstone project in my storyboard class into basically zelda fanart w my oc, so that’s something
