The Legend of Zelda: Attack of the Machine Made

Some backstory before I get into the story itself. Some years ago, my sister-in-law introduced me to a card/board game called Summoner Wars, where the player has control of an army of warriors, including three generals. I came up with several fan armies, though I never got the chance to test them, and one of them was the Hyrule army, with Zelda, Link, and Ganondorf as the three generals.

Which got me thinking: what situation would cause those three to team up in the first place? Link and Zelda are almost always allies, but Ganondorf is their immortal enemy! But. Ganondorf wants Hyrule for himself. He’s not about to let someone else come in and conquer it instead.

And so, I thought it would make a great story to cross it over with Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars with this.

The story begins, much like with SMRPG, with Link about to rescue the princess from the villain. But, just before Ganondorf and Link can start the fight, a giant axe slams into the arena, sending the captive Zelda’s prison off to... somewhere. Link and Ganondorf, in turn, attack the giant weapon and are also blasted away.

The army of Machine Made enemies the spreads out across Hyrule, intending to use the inhabitants for... something. I didn’t really come up with anything in particular.

After Link awakens in his house at Kakariko, there’s a scene in the Lost Woods, where a familiar blue-clad figure steps out, having been sent from another world to stop another invasion.

I didn’t come up with a fifth character to join the party, but I would have each party member use a skill to bypass various obstacles or play a part in solving puzzles, acting as the keys to reach the next area of the map. So, Link can go over large gaps with his clawshots, Ganondorf can destroy ludicrously large boulders, Zelda can bypass magic barriers, Geno can go through small spaces by going doll-sized, and, again, I don’t know about the last party member.

It was a random idea I had years ago, barely wrote anything about it, but I think it would be an interesting thing to see, since The Legend of Zelda is an Action/Adventure series, rather than an RPG. There’s another Zelda RPG idea I had around the same time, but I’ll post that later.

As a gift to myself before 2019 ends, I finally managed to complete the remaining images from this years Inktober. It may be about 2 months late, but here are the drawings for Days 21 - 31:

•Day 21: Wind-Elemented Mimick from Mobile Game “Summoner Wars”

*Theme: Treasure

•Day 22: Duskull Evolution Line

*Theme: Ghost

•Day 23: Medusa (Design from “Kid Icarus Uprising)

*Theme: Ancient

•Day 24: Spinda

*Theme: Dizzy

•Day 25: Yoshi Story Super Happy Tree

*Theme: Tasty

•Day 26: Dark Pit and Viridi

*Theme: Dark

•Day 27: My Q-Me Cast X Splatoon

*Theme: Coat

•Day 28: Star Fox Vehicles (Arwing, Landmaster, Blue Marine, Gyrowing)

*Theme: Ride

•Day 29: Un-named Original Character with an Beaten Design

*Theme: Injured

•Day 30: Lucas Playing Fetch with Boney

*Theme: Catch

•Day 31: Original Character - Orange Q-Me Resting with Appletun

*Theme: Ripe

At this point, I feel like most people would have dropped of Inktober and moved onto something else. Although for me, I chose to persist due to some weird mixture of pride, care, and stupidity inside of my head. Also this was only the second time I tried to participate, and I really enjoyed taking part in the event the first time around. I tried my best to keep up with the commitment, and I glad I saw it all the way through to the end.

Now because I was so far past the initial end of Inktober, I tried to push myself artistically by forcing on creating more detailed and expansive images in comparison to the usual drawings I was doing. This lead to images like the Kid Icarus ones where the tinier details were a bit tedious to portray on paper, but pretty rewarding to complete.

I also dabbled with a background in the splatoon image just to see how well I could recreate the game’s setting. Drawing more inanimate objects was also a bit different for me as I enjoy drawing characters a lot more. It’s was overall nice practice for me.

I felt like I struggled a lot with coloring images with ink as I’d worry the image would lose the line art and lose some of the details in the process. Once I committed to the fact that I was okay with using color pencils in the art as well, I did feel a bit more comfortable coloring. When comparing this year’s art with the ones from 2018, my line art was definitely my main priority with color only exists if I had the color as a pen. It became mostly limited to adding extra highlights to the images. This year’s pieces seemed to be created with a reversed mentality when color was a higher priority over the line art.

The only other factor I feel I need more practice on is transitioning from my sketching phase into my inking phase as certain area may become unnecessarily dirty from stray marking. Otherwise, I can definitely see a major improvement in my art in comparison to when I try posting for Inktober in 2018 as well as when I started posing in general. I look forward to trying this again next year, but for now it’s going to be real nice to draw something non-Inktober related for a change again~
