Miphlink Week 2024: Gala

Also extra thoughts and Miphlink Kid close up below cut

So I already had done a drawing of them dancing earlier this year, I decided to spice it up by instead of drawing a slow dance between the two of them, I would have them dancing much more joyfully as a family.

Low and beyond, kid! I have yet to actually post (or create) a sheet for the kid, but for a name I'm thinking Lamina. The name could change though, I'm still deciding.

For some design details, since this would be a Zora/Hylian child, I tried to pull some elements from Link as well. I went with the obvious blue eyes, longer legs, and elements of yellow as a homage to his blond hair, as well as including a third ear fin on her left side. As she ages the fin should look more like a loose hair bang, similar to the one on Link's forehead.

I then thought to include his original earrings and hairband, thinking that once Link upgraded to royal jewelry, he passed his original jewelry down to any children he has. So Lamina has her ear fin pierced, and the hairband design was reincorporated into a band fit to hold up her Zora crest, kinda like a hair pin.

As for Mipha, I gave her Mipha's beta design dress, as well as a tiara that's identical to Mipha's before upgrading to a full crown. Lamina also inherited the dots on her knees from her, only difference being the more diamond shape. The belt is also a combination of Link and Mipha's, having Link's diamond shaped buckle with Mipha's side crest and hanging diamond bits.

As for Mipha herself, she's got the crown! I figure she's already been crowned as Queen, leading to her new outfit. Similar to Sidon in TotK, she's got the same crown and chest guard thing, but instead of his whistle thingy, she's got the same necklace piece as Link's zora armor. I once saw a headcanon from someone who said that was their family crest, the diamond coming from Link and the crescent parts coming from Mipha, and I loved that, so I tried to incorporate diamonds into their designs. I just wish I could find that post again.

Uhhh thanks for reading.

Miphlink Week 2024: Lost/Found

I mean Mineru did potentially leave a perfectly fine Secret Stone behind at the end of TotK, so it's possible...👀

I guess that explains the scars on Mipha in some of my pieces like the Honeymoon ones. Her scars and the Zonai arm markings on Link are like remnants of what happened, sure it was undone for them (Link's arm being rewound and Mipha coming back from the Spirit Stone) but the scars remain.

Also, that's a wrap for Miphlink Week for me! It was a wonderful time; I loved all the awesome submissions and am especially grateful for all the lovely things y'all have been saying in the tags! Thank you all so very much!

Miphlink Week 2024: First/Last

Honestly I'm a little disappointed in this one, as I had originally envisioned the blue healing aura causing light rays to shoot out in different directions, causing the past version of them as kids to be visible in-between light rays, so it would be one singular piece. Unfortunately due to the size disparities between them in the two pieces, it just didn't look good, so I had to compromise and keep them separate. Maybe I'll return to that concept another day...
