My Art Tag
My OC Tag (may include art from other users)
I’m primarily an OC artist who draws for the following fandoms: Legend of Zelda, Sea of Thieves, Poppy Playtime, Animal Crossing, Super Mario and more!
Disclaimer for PPT: I love the Prototype’s design. He acts like an adult in game, therefore I see him as one. I will draw ship art of him with my OC. Instead of arguing with me, please just block :) Read this post for more info regarding biology/lore in PPT.
My ask box and DMs are open! You’re welcome to suggest art ideas but I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to draw it as these are suggestions, not requests. I love to hear art ideas and/or questions related to my own OCs/current brainrot ^^ (current brainrot: Alice x Prototype)
This is a portrait of Anthina's partner! Sotenius belongs to @Anivethia and I'm so glad to have finally made a matching piece to the one I did of Anthina a year ago <3 they're so cute together I swear hwgohwog
I made 2 versions because I couldn't decide if I wanted to draw him with or without his hood! So I decided both because why not >:)
Normalize leaving unhinged comments on ao3 fics you like. I'm tired of being the only one brave enough to write "I am chewing on this fic" in the comment section. Be weird. Authors will love you for it
Migraines are literally the stupidest thing in human evolution. "Oh no, we're experiencing too much Thing! Better send a rail spike through the skull and blind ourselves about it" like c'mon, man
I admit this took a fair amount of effort to do though XD Trying to figure out the Prototype's body, how his waist would look when bending over really far etc, wasn't easy! I picked a complicated pose idea as my first time drawing more of his body lmao! Not only that, I just couldn't get myself to simplify anything. I'm a detail crammer lmfao
All of his legs would be bent/curled as much as possible for the most part just to scoop up Alice into his arms <3
I found your tumblr from reading your fic on AO3 and just wanted to say I loved it so much!! Alice is such a pretty OC and I love how you wrote the Prototype. Any plans for more fics maybe? Or art?
Anon omg thank you so much?? I'm so thrilled to hear that, you have no idea!! ;v; I do have another fic in the works, actually! It's for my longer story with Alice and the Prototype so I'm not entirely sure when the first chapter will get posted, but I can definitely do some smaller oneshots in the meantime ^^ As for art, I'm actually in the middle of a ProtoAlice ship-art piece! It's been quite the project with how detailed Prototype is but I'm excited to share the finished version soon <3
Over the past few weeks, I've received numerous comments, questions, and messages all centered around one topic: Why does my Zora OC have breasts when canon Zoras don't?
Though factually incorrect, the frequency that the question has been raised and the air of misogyny which often accompanies it has made it increasingly frustrating to see repeated in the comments of my personal art.
Because this misconception appears to stem largely from unfamiliarity with the series' history and character designs, I've decided to put together a brief overview of the long and surprisingly consistent history of Zora breasts within the franchise. My goal is not only to address the question once and for all, but also to provide context for newer fans who may not have been involved with the fandom for as long.
So, let's talk about Zora knockers.
The Downfall Timeline
Zora have been a part of The Legend of Zelda series since the release of the original game in 1986. Due to the technological limitations of the time, their appearance in early titles was ambiguous. However, the game's official instruction booklet describes them as "half-fish, half-woman," providing one possible insight into their intended design. [Citation]
Thankfully, clearer understanding of their appearance can be gained by examining later games within the Downfall Timeline where the Zora are depicted in greater detail while retaining many of the characteristics established in the series' earliest depictions.
One notable example is Queen Oren, the Zora Queen who appears in A Link Between Worlds. Oren is a distinctly full-figured character who features a prominent chest further emphasized by her shell-like bra. While her appearance is somewhat unique among the Zora seen in the Downfall Timeline, there is no indication within the game's canon that she is an exception to the species' biology.
Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask
The version of the Zora species most fans are familiar with today was introduced in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) and later expanded upon in its direct sequel, Majora's Mask (2000). These games established many of the visual and cultural traits that would come to define the Zora for years to come.
While the majority of named Zora characters featured in both titles are male, players are also introduced to two prominent female Zora characters: Princess Ruto, the heir to Zora's Domain in Ocarina of Time, and Lulu, the celebrated singer of the Indigo-Go's in Majora's Mask.
Notably, both characters are depicted with traditionally feminine body shapes, including prominent breasts. This is evident not only in their in-game models but also in official renders.
Twilight Princess
Twilight Princess was the best-selling game in the franchise until Breath of the Wild dethroned it in 2017. The game was widely praised for its striking visuals, compelling storyline, and more mature tone. But although it possesses many strengths, one stands far above the rest in this writer's admittedly biased opinion: Queen Rutella.
Despite her limited screen time, Rutela leaves a lasting impression. Her design is graceful and regal, while her role in the story is imbued with a quiet tragedy that makes her one of the series' most memorable supporting characters. (At least in my opinion 😊🩷)
More importantly for the purposes of this discussion, Rutela's design continues a visual tradition that had already been established by earlier female Zora.
Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom
The two most recent mainline entries in the franchise, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, are landmark titles whose influence can be seen throughout the gaming industry. Breath of the Wild in particular was celebrated for reinventing the traditional Zelda formula, embracing a level of player freedom and open-ended exploration not seen in the series since the original game.
Among its many innovations was a vast open world populated by a diverse cast of NPCs. This represented a particularly significant change for the Zora in particular, as in previous titles, most Zora NPCs shared a model. By contrast, Breath of the Wild introduced Zora with different body types, color palettes, silhouettes, ect- allowing players to recognize them as individuals and giving us a clear look at what constitutes the species' visual baseline.
And do you know what's included in that baseline?
That's right: boobs. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Female Zora throughout Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are routinely depicted with visible breasts of varying sizes. They are no longer reserved to important story characters. Once Nintendo finally moved beyond recycling a handful of generic models and began depicting the Zora as a diverse population, breasts became a standard feature of female Zora design.
And of course that's just npcs. Zora girls with more significant roles in the story (Mipha, Yona, Qia) share the same traits.
In Conclusion.
From the very beginning, Nintendo has consistently portrayed female Zora with visible chests as part of their character designs for three decades. The characters listed above are clear examples that breasts have been a recurring and intentional feature of female Zora depictions throughout the franchise's history- effectively proving that Zora may exhibit secondary sexual characteristics similar to those of humans.
This isn't new. So stop acting like it is, for the love of god 😭🙏
Anthina is a noble in the Twilight Realm. Her father holds her up to high expectations, and it all gets worse when she is proven to have little to no magic. Not wanting to disappoint her father, Anthina has attempted to brew potions to prove that she has some worth.
Anthina also has a hired guard, named Sotenius (Ani's OC)! While Anthina is in an arranged marriage, she has other opinions of her fiancé. Sotenius ends up catching her heart instead.
