@zelgan-week
Defeated, she retraced her steps through the frozen castle to the tiny bubble of garden between castle and gatehouse, where she could perhaps pretend she had open sky above her.
And there in the center of the soft green lawn, she found Ganondorf.
Dancing.
His eyes closed, his sharp features serene.
His movements fluid and easy, carving elegant patterns through the air with his open hands.
His sweeping black robe hung over a low branch of the timeless cherry tree along with his dusty red long tunic and the stiff white sash. He danced barefoot over the grass, dressed only in loose black trousers.
Tetra perched on a stray rock to watch him, hunger for the moment forgotten. His features seemed softer, though the eerie blue light on his olive skin made him look more like a jade figure than a living man.

The imagery of this scene and the weight of the conceptual arc it flows from has been haunting the dusty corners of my studio for years. I am glad the Scars prompt gave me the push I needed to finally pin it to the page and share it with you.
I may have an offering for Memories later, if final revisions move along swiftly… cross your fingers for me.
“When you break these patterns, it never means any good thing. What fresh trouble weighs on your spirit that you speak of omens?”
“Nothing,” he lied. “Or nothing new. It is merely the season for omens to come to those with the wit to watch for them, when the blood moon rises.”
“Mmm. Aren’t you a little old to be staying up all night to catch a fairy at mischief?”
“Caught you, didn’t I?” he said with a shrug.

Opening volley of a little Zelgan concept for the era of WindWaker that’s been kicking around the studio for a decade, finally getting around to fleshing it out for @zelgan-week …
“I can’t sleep,” blurted Zelda. “That’s all. I’m not sick or concussed, I just can’t sleep. Which is how I stumbled in the first place, overtired and not watching my step. Fretting about my place in the tourney bracket, or maybe it’s the change in weather. It will pass.”
“Is it him?”
Zelda sighed, gesturing helplessly. Yes and no, maybe, I don’t know. The closest answers she could offer were not answers at all and would only anger Lyrne more.
“You have three choices,” said her oldest and best friend. “Clinic. Your gran’s. Or I drag you to Impa at Baileykeep.”
The rest of the story written for the alternate prompt “Memories” will unfold on Ao3…
(Yes it’s a little belated and that means revisions are ongoing, LoomAdventures and Boring Job threw some wrenches into my writing time… 😭)
“One thousand rupee,” echoed Lyrne.
“Technically one thousand ten after tax.”
Lyrne threw her head back and howled with laughter.
“Yes. It happened. It really did, in fact, happen,” said Zelda, giggling a little over her own wine.
Lyrne roared, halfway hysterical. “It did, I can’t believe it, no one else would, but it did, and they’re right there. Next to you. Like — like bread waiting for morning. Like nothing. What is even happening?”
“That part I’m not sure, but the why is because of him.”
“Well, I may not be a walking library like you, princess, but I am smart enough to figure that.”
“I knew I’d never stop thinking about them if I walked away,” said Zelda. “At least they’re versatile?”
“That I’ll grant,” said Lyrne between helpless giggles. “But you cannot persuade me you dreamed him hung like either of those things.”
“Oh, not at all. The olivewood boy on the center display in the red rooms, with the blushing effect and the gold dust? That was the closest I saw and even that didn’t really capture his likeness either. Too thin, I think. Or maybe the curve of the taper is off? Not sure.”
“Too thin? The olivewood monster?”
“Anyway, that one’s not the point. The point is, I mean, fuck, just look at the box.”
“It is a very beautiful box,” agreed Lyrne, coughing.

Another little offering for @zelgan-week day 1, for the Sun and Moon prompt. The connection between story and prompt ended up a little more oblique than I expected, as the full text of the legend referenced throughout didn’t feel right in the dialogue by the end.
All eight chapters will be added through the evening. ☺️
It’s Zelgan Week eve! Are you excited? We are!
…and though we are a shy rat, we have a couple promotions running through the end of the month in celebration, and in thanks to the ZelGan and LoZ Communities that mean so much to me.
First, we have created two bundle boxes specifically for this joyous occasion. The graphic above shows some details of the Big Box but also…
There’s a ton of goodies in the Big Box, which by bundling in this handy box nets you a nice little discount on:
3 comics : Demons, SoME volume 1 and volume 2
3 folios of 1” ministickers : 30 designs each for Power, Wisdom, and Courage
15 Limited Edition, signed and numbered 5x7 prints
There is a shipping setting at checkout specifically for this box, anywhere in the US by USPS Ground, tracked & insured (please email me for international quotes, shipping across borders has as you know grown significantly more complicated.)
I also made a Medium Box which contains:
3 comics : Demons, SoME volume 1 and volume 2
3 folios of 1” ministickers : 30 designs each for Power, Wisdom, and Courage
5 Limited Edition, signed and numbered 5x7 prints
There is a shipping setting at checkout specifically for this box, anywhere in the US by USPS Ground, tracked & insured (please email me for international quotes, shipping across borders has as you know grown significantly more complicated.)
And! I am also running a sale on select original works in stash (chosen largely by how easily they fit a Large Flat Priority mail box…) in the ZW Studio Sale Category.
Starting on day 1 of Zelgan Week
And running through the end of the month
use the code ZelGanWeek25 for 60% off any original works in the ZW Studio Sale category
Please help me make space in my studio for more shenanigans!
There is a special shipping type set up at checkout for any flat art 11x14 or under to make that process easier (two canvasses or about 6 illo boards will fit comfortably in one box
Please email me at studioratproductions at the gmail if you need an international quote - I may not have an exact figure until next week as I am traveling much of this week!
Thanks for all your support, and as always, signalboosting is greatly appreciated!
See you tomorrow with @zelgan-week day 1 for lots of new ZelGan-y goodies to feast on.
