Hiatus

Hi everyone! It’s been a while.

I’m sorry for not keeping you updated. I’ve been very busy lately and haven’t had time to work on this project anymore, and besides that I’ve been putting a lot of effort into trying to become a better artist. That doesn’t mean that this au is lost! I’ll keep drawing for it when I can, but the comic is on hold until further notice.

Thanks for sticking with me:)

if you have time/if you want, it’d be cool to see hilda in your au/style! no pressure

I have drawn Hilda a couple times before, and every single time she looks like a completely different person 😅 Here’s my current take on Hilda and Zelda! Maybe I’ll get around to coloring it some day

[alinkthroughtheages]

Hi everyone! Just checking in. Im remaking chapter 1 but I don’t know when it’ll be ready. I don’t think I’ll be able to stick to a 100% consistent schedule with this comic, but rest assured that it will be updated :P

[clowns0up-felix]

[alinkthroughtheages]

Hi everyone!

My comic will be on a hiatus until I get some stuff figured out. I’m a perfectionist and because this is my passion project I will do whatever I can to make it reach the quality that I want it to be. I hope you understand

I will still be posting doodles and references and stuff though :)

[alinkthroughtheages]

What do we think about the style of the last update? I love the watercolor style as much as the next person, but i have to admit it’s kinda difficult to work with, especially when it comes to backgrounds and stuff :,,) That’s why I went with something else this time. But I’m not a hundred percent sure I like it

I might try more of a mix for the next updates, I hope people don’t hate it too much

Altta Link & Ravio reference sheet + notes

I finally got around to make a somewhat presentable reference sheet for these two. These outfits haven’t been properly shown in the comic yet, but they will very soon :D

Sorry abt how messy these doodles are :,) More notes below the cut

Ravio’s merchant attire is also what can be considered his “casual clothes”, and the robe is actually the same overcoat as he puts on in this panel (I made some changes to the colors that will stay consistent from now on). It may be worn as just a normal coat, or styled with a belt as shown above. It also has a hood with an embroidered “bunny face” that isn’t shown here

I have an old “outfit guide” for Ravio that’s more or less the same as the final version, except the length of his hair. Here

Another thing I want to talk about is Link’s hair! It’s pink at the tips even though it’s been many years since ALTTP. This will be explained more in detail later on, but long story short Lorule has… some similarities to the Dark World.

This one was probably obvious, but the staff Ravio is using is indeed the one Yuga had in ALBW. In ALTTA it’s called the Color Rod!

Here are some rough first sketches of ALBW-era Link and Ravio

Edit/some more random details: Ravio’s scarf used to be a normal, very long scarf that he wore wrapped around his neck in a way that left two “tails” down his back, somewhat resembling bunny ears? After the events of ALBW he got the opportunity to redesign/“upcycle” it so that it drapes differently. Idk anything about sewing, but Ravio loves to sew and is good at it too!

Link definitely wears at least chainmail under his tunic, I was just too lazy to draw it properly. With my limited knowledge of how armor works, I suppose it would go between his red undershirt and the green tunic

Link’s master sword (?) Is based on the one from ALTTP even though he wields many different swords and the blue version of the master sword in later games..

[alinkthroughtheages]

are you okay with fanart being drawn of your comic?

Absolutely!!

If any of you want to draw my characters of course you can :D Just make sure to tag me because I’d be so happy to see it! 💕
