Years ago (crazy I'm able to use that tf), I joined this relaxed art challenge, where the artists were sorted in groups and had to create art pieces together! It was held in 2021 and it was season 1, the OG competition.
I was in Team Gerudo with two other members. We created 5 art pieces + doodled concept art. Every week, we got a new prompt to work with.
Prompt one: Create a character of your tribe to serve as a team mascot!
We created our beautiful Gerudo OC, Meatrice!
"The talented chef from Gerudo City who can capture anyone’s heart, along with giving them a few extra—it’s Beatrice!"
I sketched her design and rendered the rest. Another members did the lineart and flat colouring.
Prompt two: Kingdom/habitat/community/village!
“Have you ever wanted to be pe- bang ever wanted to be fu- bang ever wanted to be surrounded by beautiful women? Come to Gerudo town, where Queen Tinama will make you her slave lover for the evening!”
I made the sketch and lineart, another member did the flat colouring.
Prompt three: Canonical characters and/or events!
"Everyday, when the sun sets behind the desert, Urbosa and Nabooru will look over the queendom..."
Another members did the sketch and flat colouring, I made the lineart.
Prompt four: Inspired by songs/music!
"After many songs, we decided to choose Lauv's "I Like Me Better". The song tells about being with someone, who makes you feel good and the time flies away in a flash. Meatrice enjoys her girlfriend's, Chikadee's, company so much, she forgets her worries and burned meals."
"Midnight into morning coffee
Burning through the hours talking
Damn, I like me better when I'm with you ---
I knew from the first time, I'd stay for a long time 'cause ---
I like me better when I'm with you"
Lauv - I Like Me Better (2018)
Others made the sketch and lineart, I did the flat coloring and rendering.
Final prompt: A celebration between tribes! Gerudo / Korok
"Beatrice brought Royal Advisor Raureoru, Crown Princess Nolala and Queen Tinama to understand more about these mysterious creatures. Koroks had a play about Hyrule's hero and his tales. During the play, Queen Tinama seemed to find a potential opponent for combatting. Friendship works this way too... right?"
In this one, we joined the forces with Team Korok! Team Korok made the sketch and lineart, while Team Gerudo finished with flat colouring.
Overall, we had fun, memed around and created amazing art! There are full galleries of season 1 and 2, other entries and more.
I've been in ZC's Community since the beginning of time. I've been part in multiple of their projects and collabs! I think this may be all of them, at least most of them.
Pictures 1-3: one of the first works within ZC was the banner for Twitter. I drew Zelda from Breath of the Wild playing with TLOZ:SS Switch! As one of the first huge projects I loved doing this and our network got bigger and better.
Pictures 4-5: I was one of the banner makers for ZC's Discord server. This banner was made for January 2022. I drew Brigo, who patrols Proxim Bridge in West Necluda. Legend says that Brigo may be based on, and named for, Kevin Briggs; the now-retired California Highway Patrol officer famous for convincing hundreds of people to not jump from the Golden Gate Bridge!
Pictures 6-7: After a long hiatus, I was honored to draw a logo for ZC Discord. The logo was used in December 2022.
Pictures 8-9: I have been in both March of the Koroks last year 2022 and this year 2023! In 2022 I drew four Koroks, and this year 2023 I drew maximum of three.
So, what right now? Right now (April 2023) I am taking part in ZC Discord's Banner for May 2023! I will make a separate post for it/repost this one with the banner. I am so excited about this one, because we have an amazing team and I've improved so much with drawing. It is amazing to see, where this community has gone already.
Love you, Zelda Creators! See you at the server <3
EDIT 1:
Picture 10-11: the finished banner for May 2023!!! I drew Epona and not gonna lie, I used WAAAY too much time on that saddle!
EDIT 2:
I am working on a summer collab with ZC, but it has been delayed due to family crisis. It'll be added within this post when it's out!
