Have some stupid doodles from work last night ✨

[limited-hero]

Wanted to try drawing @recalled11 Wild with only two layers! (so a sketch layer and a top rendering layer!) I love doing that, cuz it creates this sketchy painting vibe! Anyway! I LOVE the Zelda AU Recalled! It's so good!

[ahanarhorse]

Look at all the Wildlings!

I wanted to draw other links meet aus, and here we are, 9 different botw/totk Links all together! I picked 9 different aus and tried to draw each of the links in the creator's style, and I think I succeeded, they're all pretty close actually! (Little note: no one cares but I'm very proud because I didn't trace any drawings at all and I didn't eyedrop the colors from the reference a single time)

Going from left to right and top to bottom

@linkeduniverse Wild!

I love Wild so much, the chaotic little gremlin. I also love your art style! It's very light and pretty. I know it's changed a lot, but all of them are nice. Wild needs a hug, everyone needs a hug, I'm going to break into the comic just to give them a hug, he deserves it. I love him so much, he inspires me, I want to be just like Wild, a chaotic little arson gremlin.

@bonus-links Slate

He seems very serious, I think he needs a hug. I love his hair, and his shirt(the dragons are really cool!). I love his little fairy friend too, I had to include her. I love your art style so much, I don't even know what to say about it, I just love how you do everything. The way you draw faces though are especially nice, I don't know, you have such a wonderful art style I want to steal it(I won't though)

@linked-maze Wild

Adorable little boy, he's very cute. Very smol. Very squishy. I love him so much. He needs a hug too, I'm gonna give him a big hug. Your art style is very nice, and I love Wild's design! His hoodie is cute, I need one like that too.

@minas-linkverse Hoods

Hoods is adorable, like, I'm internally screaming, he's so cute, and so is your art style! I just want to squish him. Poor little guy needs a hug, can I give him a hug? I'm giving him a hug. Also I love the way you shade hair, it's simple but it looks really good.

@linkbetweenlinksau Wild

My crazy boy, my gremlin, I love him so much your honor. That's my arson hazard right there, he's not yours anymore I'm stealing him forever I love him so much. I also just love your style, like, it's very squishy, I'ma squish the boy(/vpos). Your art style is so beautiful, every time I see you draw anything I'm inspired, I want to draw just like you one day.

@the-auras-of-light Tears

Gurl, how many layers do you have on an average drawing??? Your characters are so detailed, also the lineart coloring? You must have infinite patience or something, I don't know how you do it. Also I love the way you draw hair, it's very fun, I want to draw hair like that more often. And the lighting, I love how you draw lighting, mind telling me how you do it? (I'm also stealing Tears' hat, it looks fun)

@houseofheroesau Wild

Arson boy, little gremlin, partner in crime, the ultimate hazard to society, I love him so much. He could light my house on fire and I wouldn't care, I love him. He looks like he could get away with just about anything, especially the way you draw him, he's very cute.

@recalled11 Wild

I just need to know, what brush do you use for the hair? It's so pretty, I love the way you shade everything(especially the hair). It's so detailed, how long does it take you to draw your characters? I just love the way you do it, I need to take notes.

and my own au, @the-chain-of-fate Wild, my arson boi

If any of y'all(au creators) want a closeup of your boy to save ask me and I'll take a better picture, the quality of this one got eaten just a little bit.

Also, I had so much fun drawing all these characters, I want to do it again! If anybody would like, give me a character and an au to draw(yes, request your own au too!) I would love to do this again sometime!

HOW-TO... DO AN ANALYSIS

RECALLED AU: EXAMPLE ONE

I just realized that I do know other smaller comic artists I can bother to let me do this on something with different art styles, formatting, and conventions for variety (so there will be a few other artists too.)

As noted, because this is meant to be an example that can be followed, I will be going through the steps as outlined in my main "How-To Do An Analysis" post with respect to the last two pages of the most recent Recalled AU update.

If you don't know the Recalled Comic at all, that's fine! This is part of the exercise, as I will be explaining this comic as if it were a blind read in many respects. Sometimes you will have to analyze a document you have very little outside knowledge of prior to access, too! Come learn with me (and check out the comic after if it sounds fun.)

(As with the others, click to the original in case I did any edits to this after the fact.)

(Remember: link to the original source so other people can pull it up and confirm what you gave them!)

So, now with a new comic to study (one that may be a blind read for some of you!), let's start!

1. What is our OVERT (clear and obvious) information?

We are outside at a building, in an area with grassy fields and rocky hills as the boundaries. The building isn't particularly visible here, but does give us a setting detail that this is a place where people are. Some backgrounds are just colours.

We have one party coming to join the people at the building. They are riding and meet up with a group who was already there.

The two groups are dressed well, nobody's injured, but one does pull out an unusual item on the first page of our selection to check something before approaching the others.

The groups speak, largely covering first time introductions between themselves. One speaker uses sign language.

2. What are our INTERACTIONS?

People are traveling across distance on horseback, dismounting, and approaching the building where the others are. Part of the riding group is occupied tending to the horses.

The group already at the stable are standing very close together prior to being approached: those four are already known to each other, and may have been speaking or something like it prior to this page.

The main focus of the riding group (Wild, in the green poncho) pulls out a yellow ball to use to check something significant enough to take up a solid third of the first page.

Wild greets the others and draws two of the four away to introduce them to his own group, before addressing the merchants directly himself.

3. What ACTIONS or EVENTS happen here?

We have an arrival, and a meeting between two groups of people: Wild leads one group, and the other consists of two merchants and two others (Twilight and Wind.) The others in Wild's group aren't important at this moment, so they remain with the horses as largely background detail.

Wild is using an item to confirm something on the first page. Familiarity with the AU would tell you what exactly it was, but even without knowing that we can see from it's placement (dead center of both panel AND page) that it's very important to the subsequent action that follows.

Communication is established, not just as a first introduction but "can we communicate at all?" given the context of Wild using sign language exclusively to speak to the others.

Wild says the majority of the dialogue here: he's approaching the others, introducing himself, reveals he already knows who they are, and actively (including physical action, portrayed as cute rather than violent) separating Twilight and Wind from the merchants.

Wild's demeanour through all of this is bright, cheerful and friendly, emphasized by the solid colour backgrounds for some of (specifically!) his panels.

4. What is IMPLIED by the information here?

(Remember: you cannot cover everything a scene contains at once. You need to choose what you focus on in any given moment, in order to be able to write something comprehensible in a given space.)

This is obviously a first meeting of some of the parties involved here: indeed, the fact that in the middle panel of the first page we see Wild check the yellow ball, with Wind and Twilight in the background (ahead of him), we can infer even without knowing the action of Recalled as a whole that he was looking for them, specifically and is delighted (by all of his expressions and behaviour) to have found them.

Wild immediately goes up and introduces himself: he's not shy. He was trotting his horse (not walking) so he was first to reach them. He dismounts and leaves its care to someone else in his group to confirm their identities instead, and walks right up to Twilight to ask "Do you know sign?"

However, Wild doesn't dwell on the two people he just met: he actually diverts them onto others in his party right away ("You two Links will want to talk with Captain. He and my Zelda will explain...")

This seems at odds with the amount of excitement he displays elsewhere in the page. This implies heavily that something else is coming in between him and wanting to explain. It's not obvious from the information on these pages alone (or, indeed, in this update) why he might do that.

If he was wanting to escape social interaction, then the fact that he diverts to immediately address the two merchants who were originally with the Links he just met seems odd. If he didn't want to talk, why not simply step away? Is there something they're selling he needs?

This is the kind of page set where it's fairly obvious that you're missing something once you dig into it. Hence, in this case, step Five really is needed to figure out what context is missing in order to make full sense of the events at hand.

5. How does this CONNECT to previous or subsequent information?

So, the yellow ball in Recalled was the first thing that set this whole set of events in motion. You have to drop all the way back to the prologue and first part to begin to understand how it came about as an item--

(Remember: when connecting to other pieces of work in a series, again: It's helpful to include links to direct people to where you want them to go so they can assess the information you are pulling together for themselves and join in.)

--But this page essentially tells you all of that by itself: Wild pulls out the yellow ball to look at the arrows. That confirms that the two men before him are more Links simply by looking at it, information we already assessed just from the page set up itself.

Wind and Twilight are therefore new to the group being collected, and Wild is of course delighted to meet them. However, he diverts them to Captain and his Zelda and redirects to the merchants that Twilight and Wind had been accompanying. Why is that? While he is frequently not the main person doing the explaining anywhere else in the comic, he's more frequently up a tree or off cooking than engaging with others.

Why, then, does he speak to the merchants Wind and Twilight were with, and why did he usher the Links away before doing so? Nothing in the pages we have explains this.

But the last page of this update does. Specifically, the hands in the handshake...

I wonder what fruit it is they sell.

[fever-project]

Happy birth Tears of the Kingdom! Have some Wilds from four different Links Meet AUs that I churned out in a little over two hours because I forgot to do this earlier 🫠 maybe I should’ve spent an extra hour in quality control, because these are looking worse the longer I’m looking at them. And I uh, forgot to label these so let’s just do down the list, left to right with some thoughts I have about them:

Wild from @recalled11 - I love love love his poncho, shame I couldn’t draw the whole thing. But it’s also a good thing because there is sooo much detail, at least more than I’m used to hah. Honestly all of you guys are great with details, drawing all of these scars got my head spinning.

Wild from @kore-links - There may not be much about him or about this AU yet, but I really do love his design. Excited to see more.

Wild from @monstrous-fusion - I love how you draw scars and hair, but trying to draw it myself had me pulling hair ha. All of your designs are so cool and make me really want to ruffle all the Links hair.

Wild from Chain as Cryptids AU by @sapphicseasapphire - I love his big ol eyes, they are very cute. I also love how simple he is compared to the rest of these guys, it was so relaxing to draw him last.

[ilikefork]

Absolutely love Wild's design from @l3ominor 's @recalled11, so I just had to draw him! (Ft. Meat stick)

[majorproblems77]

Recalled updated! Okay okay okay im very excited about this lets gooooo!

HI!

How are yall doing? I've been freed, (then I got sick haha.) We are back with the final part of Directionless and we find the main group inside Hyrule castle trying to figure out what to do next.

With some shenanigans along the way.

Okay, time for the important things! Recalled and all panels belong to @recalled11 and its wonderful artist @l3ominor. Go check it out!

You can find the comic page here!

Now, it is time for snacks and drinks, Let's do this! :D

Backgrounds my beloved, you get so much story telling from just this one shot it's great.

MAlon and Time and helping Wild gather information, Sky is resting his leg while flower and Sun discuss something.

Hmm, Sky's looking very serious right now. What's on your mind blorbo?

Look at him run. I love him.

Yoink.

This makes me chuckle. I love when we get Wild shenanigans.

I love how casual he is about this. But I'm gonna note something here.

The orange glow of what I assume is ultrahand. Which would be it, If this next panel didn't exist.

Wild's eye is glowing orange. The eye which changes colour when he's looking at the orb.

So Wild's eye changes colour based on what ability he is using.

Confusion and joy.

Like ust look at these guys

These two are just cackling at Time's expense. And Wild's shenanigans and I totally agree.

The man is still holding his hands out like he's still holding the books.

Flower's little pen for her pura pad. I love it. I can only assume She's got a little diagram on her screen which is just chaos

What's on the paper captain? I hope you didn't tear it out of your book.

I wonder if it's a group drawing of the war heroes looking at a reference picture while trying to find information would make sense. Depending on the length of time it's been since he was fighting that war.

Hiding something are we captain?

I reckon he's trying to figure out just who Time is. And has dug out a picture from the war. (Im unsure, do we get Big Brother Captain? Because I live for Big Brother Captain)

interesting we get symbols for these heroes.

What's the problem Time? Are you looking at someone who you recognise and now he's mentioned your hero title you dont want to talk about it?

Look at Malon, She's like 'You have gotta tell him.'

And Captain looks sad about it. Which tells me that he knows and that he's waiting for Time to approach him.

Thats interesting. We know we get Midna as a companion in Hyrule Warriors. And I assume that Fi mentioned Sky at one point.

I sense some Angst in our future.

Sun putting her hand on Sky's shoulder like that gives me life. i love these two a healthy amount okay.

Also these backgrounds are pretty, I love the triangle behind Sun and Sky here. Thats' Wisdom On the triforce (If observed on the left hand). And considering that sun is in the centre of the frame. I find this interesting. Maybe because they are learning a lot of information right now?

Okay, so you may be wondering who says this line on the left here. I was too. I reckon it's Sky. As a shock response to being mentioned by Captain.

Mainly because From the angle of the speech bubble and the location of the heroes in relation to Wild, it only gives a few heroes. Mainly Sky and Sun.

Sky asking this makes sense as he and sun are the newest to the group at this point.

Okay now its the time for the big one'

The orb. (Or compass,)

I've taken the time to translate the words I can identify and have extrapolated the rest of them from there. The language is Sheika, and most of these words are what (From what I understand) Is what Wild himself identifies each hero as.

So we have, (Rapid fire style)

Hero of Wind

Hero of Spriits

Hero of Sky

Hero of Time

Captain

Me

These all say, Unknown.

A little more on this as well.

This circle around this orange arrow. I believe this is the arrow that Wild has chosen for them to approach. Orange if I had to give you a guess is Twilight's colour. Mainly from this bit before.

Backgrounds give a lot of information by themselves. This looks like a Twili portal.

The reason Wild chose that is unknown to me. During one of his adventures, he encountered Wolfie. So it makes sense. Maybe he was able to identify his name as Twilight. Or called the wolf that himself.

I suppose the next arc will give us more information!

Woo! Adventure time! :D

Okay, thats enough of me rambling.

Thanks for hanging out with me today! I love this comic so it's always a pleasure to write these!

:D

Now I hope you all have a wonderful day!
