Who remembers THIS episode of DiC's Legend of Zelda cartoon??

Just kidding, it's a faux screencap created by your's truly! >:3 I was commissioned by @wellabridgemeprincess to make the thumbnail for the latest episode! Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXT5ZmhvJpQ

In addition to drawing and VHS-scruffifying the episode thumbnail, I also edited the Deku Tree's face onto a previously faceless tree and drew his lip flaps. :3

And I drew a pillow to make the Triforce of Power all comfy-cozy back home at Ganon's house. :3

Combing two of my childhood shows together. Really tried my best to give them big hair, though I’m sure I failed on that.

Beware of the Despurado, the most feared outlaw in the wild west! He's secured the Flower Cup, and he intends to keep it. His trusty Ostro grants him high speed, and he has perfect accuracy with his Cobrat pistol that can set foes on fire!

An appreciative critique of Series 1 Robotropolis:

Robotropolis is, in every conceptual way, supposed to be an industrial nightmare. But on a purely aesthetic level, I find it profoundly beautiful (at least in Series 1 of the Sonic SatAM cartoon) , and I don't mean in the gritty grunge way. The Bladerunner-inspired Hellscape is supposed to be scary and filthy with brutalist archetecture and smog blocking out daylight. However, the buildings all have such smooth, soft shapes with few sharp angles to unnerve the viewer. In fact, I dare say, they look almost look organic! The buildings also have shiny reflective surfaces. I'd understand Robotnik keeping his fortress spotless, but it's everywhere! For a complex that 'hurls crud into the sky', it's awfully clean.

"Why is it all... chrome?"

And then there's the choice of lighting. The idea is that Robotropolis is shrouded in darkness because of the pollution, but there has to be 'some' coloured light so that the cartoon isn't just the Freedom Fighters operating in pitch darkness. Series 2 does this by illuminating Robotropolis in grungy browns to represent the smog, and blood oranges to represent the industrial fires. Series 1, however, chooses to colour Robotropolis in a deep blue. This could be interpreted as a depressing colour which matches the tone of the location, but to me it doesn't feel oppressive at all. It feels calming. Because this is the colour that cartoons generally use in night-time sequences to represent moonlight, which is only possible with cloudless skies. Smog-less skies. HEALTHY skies. It's frustrating that Series 1 Robotropolis' art direction desn't make it as grungy and unwelcoming as it ought to be (there isn't even an orange/red glare from the foundry of the SWATBot Factory seen in 'Sonic and Sally'), but at the same time I'm grateful for it because the unintentionally soothing atmosphere it creates is really pleasant. Anyone else feel, similarly?
