Reforged is a Legend of Zelda fancomic that re-imagines the stories of BotW and TotK, taking place before the Calamity is set to strike. Not long after their fates collide, Prince Caelius and Aylin, a Yiga Clan warrior, form an unlikely bond as they learn how to shape their places in the world anew: facing all the ideas and fears behind holding up or rejecting your societal role as the world slowly comes to an apparent end around them.

Hi hi!! My name is Bug (they/them), and I’m the author of Reforged! This tumblr is mostly going to be used for promotional/update purposes, as well as to interact with readers.

My main blog is @brewbug, I don’t do much on there except reblog silly little things, but feel free to drop by if you like

If you see me reblog something that was definitely supposed to be on my main blog. No you didn’t. :) <3

Act 1: Fettle Ch. 0 | Page 8

Read the full comic over on Comicfury!

and here it is, the swap to traditional page format! and even better: NO MORE LOOKING AT OLD ART >:DDD!

with the pages being shorter i should be able to post them in full here! I do still recommend reading the full comic on comicfury, as it's FAR more accessible and organized lol

[loz-reforged]

Page 7 is out now! Read over on Comicfury :]

like i said, so extrEMELY fair and chill about it. go my nepotism or something idk

LAST LONGFORM PAGE!!! from here on out Reforged will be in a traditional comic book page format rather than longform scrolling format! update schedule will stay the same for now (20th of every month) as i'm working on building a larger buffer so I don't have to worry during classes :]!

[loz-reforged]

Page 6 is out now! Read over on Comicfury :]

don't worry guys i'm sure he's gonna be super fair and chill about it :))))))

[loz-reforged]

Page 5 is out now! Read over on Comicfury :]

2 more longform pages to go after this, then it's time to swap to a traditional comic format, which i'll Finally be able to post on tumblr without linking elsewhere yippeeeee!

[loz-reforged]

HIATUS OVER YAAAAAAAY YIPPEEEEEEEEEE!

Page 4 is out now! Read over on Comicfury :]

i already stated this stuff in a post a while back, but i'd like to re-state it here for anyone that missed it! read more under the cut :]

I'll be posting pages to comicfury, tumblr, and Eventually bluesky once i have time to set that up! while this update is on the 21st (for the 40th LoZ anniversary!!) the comic will update EVERY MONTH ON THE 20TH from here on out!

as of right now i have a year's worth of backlog, so expect regular updates! as the year goes, i'll be building my buffer more and more till i feel comfortable posting twice a month.

there will be three more longform pages after this, and after that i'll be switching to a more traditional comic book page format! this format is much more accessible to be as an artist, so i hope you all understand <3

the comicfury site is still a bit of a mess and i intend on re-doing the tumblr, so please pardon the dust in the meantime!

[loz-reforged]

GRRRGHRGGG FIRST PAGE SINCE THE HIATUS DROPS TOMORROW i'm going to explode into 958948345043 pieces dude. So excited.

[loz-reforged]

!! HIATUS OVER !!

IT'S FINALLY TIME.... THE HIATUS IS OFFICIALLY.... OVER!! (yeaaa woooo yeaaaaa the crowd goes wild) i hope yall are excited bc i sure as hell am >:]

i'll be posting the next page on Feb. 21st (LoZ's 40th anniversary woaaaaaah dudeeeeee) on comicfury, tumblr, and bluesky and from then on Reforged will update MONTHLY on the 20th of each month! i've got an entire year's worth of backlog, which i'll continue building as i go! ideally i'd like to build myself up to posting twice a month, but this is a reliable start for me right now, which i hope you all understand!

i still have a little work to do on the comicfury site (and i'll probably re-do the tumblr at some point as well lol) so please pardon the dust </3

i'd also like to make an important note that i have 4 longform pages left that are complete, but AFTER THOSE 4 ARE POSTED i'll be switching to a more traditional comic book page format! due to this, i will also no longer be posting on webtoons for my own sanity more than anything else tbh. i've found that the more traditional format suits Reforged a bit more, and it's much more accessible to me as an artist!

little sneaky preview at a panel in the next page hehe...

OC-TOBER DAY 9 - RELATIONSHIPS

for today's prompt i wanted to focus on something a bit different, and ended up landing on Caelius' relationship with religion, Hylia, and his lineage!

not to get too deep into into comic spoilers, his feelings about these topics are extremely conflicted, and often he avoids dwelling on things too long.

OC-TOBER DAY 8 - DISLIKES

OC-TOBER DAY 6 - PAST

orz i KNOw it's day 7 and i haven't posted day 5 yet don't look at me (<- creature that is full of shame /j)

for the past prompt, i wanted to draw one of my comic characters as a child!! i had some old sketches for both aylin and caelius, but i liked aylin's pose better and i'm already behind, so i just chose to clean up hers instead of both :'3

btw hi i have a comic please check it out i'm super normal about it (it's on a little hiatus atm while i build a buffer and prioritize school, but rest assured it will be back! i've already sunk 7 years of my life into it, it will Not be going away anytime soon lmao)

[prompt list]

[loz-reforged]

howdy reforged readers!! i'm working on building up my buffer, and i have some scenes coming up in which i'll need to fill the background with some characters, so i'm putting out a cameo call :]

to submit your characters simply reply or reblog with a ref of your character! feel free to include as much info as you feel is necessary (pronouns, design notes, brief personality snippet, etc) but please try to keep it brief <3

at the moment I am mostly looking for yiga and hylian characters, but i will gladly accept any! LoZ and non LoZ characters are welcome, HOWEVER i will be changing any non LoZ ocs to better suit the world. i may also take creative liberties or simplify characters if need be

please note that it is not GUARANTEED your character will make an appearance in the comic. i'll be picking those i know i'll enjoy drawing most or who will best fit within the scenes required

Art fight attacks 2024 part 4/4!

@alaeries @brewbug Aliiwa @dumbbullet c-Chimera

[loz-reforged]

Updated refs for Aylin and Caelius!!

Aylin got a few design tweaks, and both of them got fresh new backgrounds and an updated font that'll match the dialogue bubbles for pages once I get around to posting those again.

As with the last time I posted their refs, Aylin and Caelius are up on Artfight this year!! :] if you wanna draw either of them or just poke around, you can find me there @ brewbug!

[loz-reforged]

:] icon of the boy himself...

this is a redraw of something from like.. 2017? i've re-drawn this thing 4 times now and for some reason Still have not made one of aylin??? it's fineee i'll get to her someday lmfao

[loz-reforged]

this was intended to be posted last month on the 20th to commemorate the passing of the first year since i posted the very first page of Reforged online, but i didn't quite finish them in time and never got around to finishing the post 😔... BUT HERE IT IS NOW!

At the start, I never planned to share Reforged with anyone. It was intended to simply be a creative outlet designed to help me work through some stuff I was going through at the time. But as I poured more of my heart onto the page, I began to share the story with those closest to me. It's still kinda crazy to me that I've actually decided to post the story online? I still have a long way to go, but rest assured this is something I will see to the end in one way or another no matter what. :]

Updates should hopefully begin again soon! I'm going to work on building a buffer before I start releasing pages again, but at the moment I have four scroll format pages ready to go!! After that, I'd like to switch to page format instead, which will (hopefully) mean I can start posting updates directly here on tumblr!! :D
