-ˋˏ༻ What to Expect
᪥ I’m currently deep in the Legend of Zelda fandom- specifically so with Linked Universe- as well as my own LoZ AU: Upon Crimson Wings! Therefore, most of my posts are and will be relative to these fandoms. You can find more about my AU here, as well as way more on my main account!
᪥ I will no longer be posting my art directly onto this account, and will rather showcase my art through the form of reblogs from my main account- @birdyoh. I’d also prefer to be interacted with there as well, such as with asks, comments, and anything of that nature!
-ˋˏ༻ Rules
᪥ I’m welcome to most anything, but I won’t tolerate spam or unnecessary hate!
᪥ Same goes for NSFW asks/comments/and the like. There’s a time and place for everything, but you won’t find that here. This isn’t that kind of blog!
᪥ When it comes to my own art, at the most, there may be elements or themes to do with kissing or romantic relationships along the lines of those tamer physical aspects.

Thank you so much for reading!
I hope I can continue to improve my art, and continue doodling for the fun of it just as much as well!
I used the reference you posted when you replied to my ask about the au! Though, I cannot lie, I’m definitely not practiced with drawing armor, and I don’t have an Apple Pencil yet so this is brought to you by my finger lol
Link, the Crimson Prince of Hyrule, and Link Akiran, Ganondorf’s Right (or I suppose should be left given this is Link we’re talking about) Hand Man! Two Princes technically? I had lots of fun drawing your blorbo !! I’ve seen other drawings you’ve done of him where he seems to have scars, so I want to give him another go with those. For now, I took some creative liberties and fancied up a tunic for him with some extra details hehe, I hope you like it !!
AAAAAA YESS!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
I DON'T JUST LIKE IT I LOVE IT!!!!! A LOT!!!! I TOTALLY get not drawing the armor it is a HUGE pain!!! And with just your finger!?!?! I commend you, soldier. I can't draw digitally for the life of me. It's too hard 💔 and I don't have any kind of digital pen either.
I love the tunic you gave him! It does look like something he would wear when off-duty. And you're right, Akiran does have scars! They've changed a lot over the course of his existence, but right now he has burn scars on the right half of his face. Thank you so much for drawing him! Our boys should totally hang out!!! They're kind of like brothers in a way? Lol.
Ahhhhh I’m so happy you liked it !! It was so much fun drawing his hair hehehe :D and I’ll for sure have to give those scars a go! Crims has only a little chin scar himself, but he ends up getting a proper scar over his right eye at the end of his adventure, so I’ll just have to go ahead and do a round 2
But aww yeah they are kinda like brothers !! Oh my goodness I love it ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ) two too-serious sons of an evil fella: I wonder what they would get up to? Hehehe
I’ve had this one in the chamber for a while because I kept changing her nose. I’ve been following a specific style of noses for a hot minute now, but ever since I’ve started doing this whole digital thing, it hasn’t been transferring really well. It’s in part because it’s impossible for me to shade with my finger, but also, I guess I’ve been experimenting with a little bit of everything lately. I like how I draw my noses decently enough, but maybe I’m looking for a little change?
Those braids are the hardest thing to draw anyways.
As I’ve been refining Zelda’s reference sheet, I’ve been thinking about her dynamic with Link in the early story. His search for Sheik is what leads him to her, but she keeps that identity a secret to all but her closest allies, including the alleged ‘hero.’ At that point in the story, Zelda to Link is a person who prides herself an oracle but is nothing more than a misguided, bitter individual. He doesn’t believe a word she says when she claims herself the lost princess, and holds even more disbelief in the face of her beloved prophecy, but he follows along with her ploys to bridge the gap to Sheik, who appears to have taken Zelda as his trusted advisor (as far as Link knows of course).
As Link starts to fall for Zel, I find myself thinking: man, he really hates Sheik the whole time this is happening; the final reveal is really going to be nuts on both sides (since Zel hates the Prince just as much.) And then, naturally, I thought of how I could make this worse. Link hates Sheik, but Zelda talks of him fairly enough, and is one of the tiny few who ever glimpses him whenever he returns from his sneaky Sheikah patrols. And… Sheik trusts her. Link, of course, can only be jealous.
Imagine that? Being jealous toward a person who is quite literally the person you’re feeling jealous for. And despite Link and the faulty faith he has in her, he still respects Zelda as a lady to the absolute level, so of course he wouldn’t work for a taken maidens hand, and definitely not the (alleged) lost princess who’s leader he’s trying to kill! She just… has green eyes so brilliant even he can admire them, and… dark lashes… and a gentle touch and the softest smile and Farore she really is something with her hair down and and and-
You guys mind if I go radio silent for a day or two and then post art of a character whose reference sheet I haven’t even started on yet? B)
More Rodric the Squire doodles as I figure out how I want his face to look. I was very tempted to give him a mustache, but I’m still on the fence about it… so all he’s got for now is the thinnest scruff anyone’s ever seen.
Just to explain myself a bit (because I took my creative liberties here), I remembered the details from the chapter about Stray letting his hair free when sleeping, so I gave that look a shot ! You’ve probably posted him with his hair down somewhere, but I was in flow state and only glanced at the one reference LOL I could not be stopped
I also let Zel be the one wearing his hair tie because :) I thought it was sweet !! I also drew the Triforce on her left hand because in the ref of them together, Stray has the Triforce because of Crown, but it’s on his left hand. Hopefully that wasn’t just late Stray when he finally gets courage, or else I flipped the sides!
But… yeah! It is so hard to draw someone kneeling but I have it a go ! I was so inspired after reading that oneshot god it was so good 😭 I hope I could do some justice bringing a scene to life ! Seriously, Crown giggling and Stray being totally lost for the first few seconds was the most tooth rotting fluff I’ve read in a while so it just had to be done !!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! THERE THEY ARE!!!!! 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
Actually, I have not actually posted him with his hair down! I keep meaning to draw him hair down bcuz I love seeing styled-hair-characters letting their hair loose but somehow???? I haven't yet!!!
But you are Correct! He would indeed have his hair down in that drabble. I almost mentioned it in there somewhere but couldn't find a spot where it made sense and didn't feel forced so went Eh, Whatever. But you got it! You nailed it!!
Ohhh mannnnn I love the idea of her wearing his hair tie on her wrist sometimes 😭😭😭 that's really cute.... He does let her borrow his bobby pin sometimes so that is a good addition.
You know, honestly , I have not considered what hand her Triforce would show up on,,, I just drew it on Stray's left bcuz Link Stuff but ykw.. would be cute if she's also a leftie actually... That's canon now... She's a leftie! And honestly it actually makes sense! He wouldn't have the well-exercised right hand muscles for her to use when she's in his body, which would have made things harder for her, plus I've never written him having to swap hands or remarking on her using the "wrong hand" so like. It actually makes sense for what I've already written!
Honestly good on you for even remembering the Triforce mark LOL I keep forgetting about it. I've only drawn it once (ref not included) in my art of them lol woopsies.....
Ahhhh so happy you liked it !! I had quite the time doodling them :) and hearing that I nailed it?? Yippee !
But woahhhh new lore drop! A Link and Zelda that are both lefties? I’m in. It definitely makes everything easier for them that way haha I can’t even imagine how weird it would feel- on top of everything they already deal with- to have your dominant hand switched. Lucky lefties! And they match so cute hehe
And now you have to draw Stray with his hair down muhehehe, I have to see how accurate I was !
I often picture the portraits that would hang upon the walls of Hyrule castle of Crimson throughout his years, and I so wish I had the talent of royal painters from the medieval centuries to create my own. Throughout history, nobles had multitudes of portraits made to commemorate all sorts of things, and I think Crims would have many.
For the sketch on the left, I think in a proper painting there’d be an elegant chair accentuated by draping curtains in the background, and maybe a small dog or two could be sat beside his feet to join him in the foreground. Does anyone else see this vision?
I also doodled him inspired by the voe armor in BotW. I don’t think that is what Gerudo armor would look like in Wings, but I thought it would be fun to try for something like it. And then I bundled him up in some winter clothes :)
Here’s also some alternate versions for his portraitttt
I thought the uncolored circle eyes made him look a tad too distant, and though not entirely out of character, I wanted to deliver a softer look for the final sketch. I also changed his nose- I can’t decide between simpler noses and not sometimes!
I haven’t drawn Crimson in his Preybirds era for a while, so I figured I’d give him a go. Not much different except he’s missing his eye and has a much more profound aura of sadness around him.
Also, Sky! Since I’m still knee deep in chapters 4 and 5 (guys pray for me please), I’ve been thinking a lot about each dynamic Crimson will eventually form between all the boys after his positively terrible first impression. Sky is the first one who Crims comes around to (for reasons I won’t explain), and Sky’s a good guy, so he’s the first to give him a chance, too.
But anyway, here’s a little spot the difference for Wings!Link and Preybirds!Link. His hair… probably gets as long on the right in Wings at some point, but he chops it off often to keep it fitting in his helmet. Little tidbit now that I’m thinking about it, but it used to be super long when he was a kiddo (Gerudo things), and I can’t stop picturing all the royal portraits in the castle of him as a kid with super long flowing locks. Haha cute
I wanted to draw Crims and Gerudo, but then I ended up drawing this duo instead? For some reason? I don’t know, it just happened.
There are no monsters in Crimson’s Hyrule, so this is probably the closest he’d get to a power as ominous and foreboding as that of a true beast.
Poof!
… and now I’m wondering how many of your Links are yet to cross paths with mine… hmm…
AGHJKFKGKGKGKGK NINK SIGHTING!!!!! 🫵🫵🫵
He's so lucky to have caught a glimpse of this creature..... And so real for being tempted to instinctively draw his sword. There is something inherently wrong about Nink and he's got good instincts.
This is so funny tysm 😭 I love the last panel especially btjgkgk just the ominous energy LOLLL
LMAOOO yeah, I mean yeah. Just look at those big ol’ peepers! I can’t even imagine how this interaction continues. Does Nink just- walk into the forest? Or maybe Crims simply blinks and he’s gone, I think that that’s more likely.
Ensure we strap your braces on rightly, your Highness.
No knight can armour himself up alone; not with all those particular alignments and straps in need of careful attention. The aid of a squire makes for more than just silent servitude, though, and a good chat whilst fixing heavy plated metal to a person makes for quite the grounding moment before battle or- Goddesses forbid- other social royal affairs.
Must he be so gallantly clad in the face of possible suitors? Yes, his Highness surely must be.
