I think I'm going to add my LoZ AU stuff to Artfight next year, grouped by where in the Timeline they appear, and first up is First with Hylia and Fi.

That colorful, barely visible guy behind First is the "average hylian size guy" and will feature in every reference. I know a lot of people like to use feet or cm, but that's not something I particularly enjoy doing. But if that's your jam, the average Hylian in mu AU is about 165cm/5'5".

I'm also gonna include what shape they would take if they ended up in the Dark World, which in First's case is a Red Lion. His hair would probably have the same color as the mane once he turned back.

Now when I think about it, First is probably contemporary to the robots in Skyward Sword, considering Scrapper followed the Hylians into the sky. And a quick duckduck image search shows that there are quite a few aesthetic design similarities between the robots and bronze age art which is really positive for me, considering I want First's era to be largely inspired by the bronze age and earlier. I don't think I'm gonna make a personal redesign of the robots anytime soon, but I might do something with it in the future :)

(Edit: I realized I've given several of my au Links locs, so to get a bigger variety I'm gonna change some of them (incl. First) to have more different hair styles. Like, why limit oneself you know? Anyway, after going through the links in this post I have settled on giving First a 4B hair type which he is wearing loose/free, and I realized the the twisted braids I imagined Hylia having are the Nubian twisted braids so I added that little clarification too.)

WIP of my biblically accurate Fi. I've still got a loooong way to go though

My version of the Skyward Sword duo! I gave them the Fandom classic names because I couldn't think of anything else that would fit them.

Also I thought it would be really funny to let Sky's dark world form be a flightless bird lmao. It's not based on a specific one, so I just grabbed the species class ratite.

My AU concept-sketch of a "biblically accurate" Fi in her final form

There are still some details to adjust and I also want to make a mapping of how her form changes with each sword upgrade, and make one for Ghirahim, but for now she'll do!
