Jace|28|He/Him I'm your friendly neighborhood himbo who draws "a lot"! super multifandom! I don't do commissions. Please understand :) pfp @songs-of-the-windfish !
Hey there, welcome to my blog! This will just be a quick introduction and faq!
My name is Jace (he|him), and I'm just an amateur artist and doggy dad to a gremlin husky mix named Cyrus. I post art here of large variety of bullshit! I'm very multifandom, so i apologize for that.
If you are here in curiosity of my OCs:
This is Akos.
His bio can be found here if you wish to learn more, but he is a dnd character to a campaign that has since ended :) (my dm has now made a tumblr.) He intends to use it as a look to his creative process on such a wild homebrew. Show him some love. He's an incredible storyteller!
And this is Lae!
I do not have a worked out bio for him yet (but will update if I do) He's my WoL from Final Fantasy XIV. I welcome new players often, and if you wish to find me in game it's Laeroth Gilorwyn and I'm on primal-famfrit :) I'm a retired savage raider basically who's been playing since HW launch in 2015. I draw him often, though, as well as other wols, so if you want to see those, they are under the #ffxiv tag on my blog
And under the break, here will just be some common questions I get all the time:
Q: Where did your username come from?
A: It was actually something stupid I said in discord voice when I was doing pvp on bard in xiv lol it was to make fun of the whole alpha male mentality. I had wiped out like 4 other bards or something that were trying to take me down, and I was the one who came out victorious so I just whispered into my mic "I am the alpha bard" and it made my friends laugh so hard. I changed all my usernames to it as a joke, but then it stuck so here we are, cringy username and all (but also why I'm adamant people call me by name, not username)
Q: What program do you use?
A: Clip Studio Paint :) I've used many others, but csp is just what I go back to every time
Q: What drawing tablet do you use?
A: I use a 22 in stand-up tablet from huion or an iPad air depending on if I have to leave the house or not
Q: What brushes do you use?
A: a litteral metric shit ton to match whatever I'm doing, but my main drawing brushes are actually just the default ones in CSP.
Q: Can I draw your oc?
A: ABSOLUTELY. All I ask is if it involves interactions with one of yours (I welcome this) to just ask about how either would react :D my DMs are always open! If it's a gift just tag me so I can see!!
Q: Can I use/repost your art?
A: this question is nuanced for me in particular. I've had someone use my art of lae before for their own oc, and I would rather that not happen moving forward for any of my ocs and I often do art of other people's ocs and i feel that would be disrespectful of them too. HOWEVER, if you are one of the people I have gifted art to, i do not mind at all if you use the work! All it ask is for credit in wherever you may use it :D
Q: Do you take commissions?
A: Not usually. There are exceptions to this as I have in the past, but I don't open slots or anything like most artists. I have to be invested in the idea, or it takes the fun out of drawing for me sadly. BUT if you are ever curious if it's something I'd like to take on + pricing, you can always ask. I love doing character creation commissions, as that's mostly what I have done in the past.
Q: What games do you play?
A: I play a wide range of games and love trying something new! I play ffxiv all the time and have been working towards a challenging achievement, but otherwise, I bounce between new games all the time!
Q: Where did you meet your DnD group/DM /how long have you known them?
A: (I'm shocked to get this question a lot) I've known my dnd group and dm for coming up on 5 years now. I met Mr. Snocaps and many of our mutual friends through ffxiv, and we've just been friends ever since :)
Ramblings of a man who just loves Lae and Moxie and I'm in a pride mood
One of my favorite conversations I've had with Moxie's creator is Mox (much like her creator) has a habit of collecting "trophies" from her companions. Usually just small trinkets either given to her, or ones she acquired after the persons passing. But of these, hilariously, is one of Lae's hairpin he'd use to keep his hair tucked. It wasn't necessarily malicious, but she displayed it because it reminded her of him. Lae thinks he just misplaced it, and mentions it to her one day that he needs a new one to tuck his hair back. So she gifts him a new one, and its never leaves his hair from then on
I don't draw him with it as often as I should. It's a part of him, and his love for his wife

Did I ever mention how much I love my pal’s OCs?? Every single one of them? They are all amazing? Like, you created this fictional human from your own imagination and I’m so wowed by them thank you for your, and their, existence
Hey Homies!!!! Chest Binder Fashion Show lets GOOOO 🫵🏼🏳️⚧️ are you a Washington State Designer, Artist or Sewist that is Trans, Two-Spirit, or Gender Expansive?
Using the remaining 24 Binders from our Used Trans Binder Drive, let's create a beautiful fashion show of sacred euphoria!!!! 🦋🦋🦋Chest Binder Sizes range from Small to 6XL
This has been a dream of mine to take my used binders before my top surgery and turn them into art. I've applied to grants with this concept and sadly did not win funding. Even if grants do not center Trans Joy, we will create our own moments of sacred Euphoria!
My goal is to have this in August or September of 2026!!
If you would like to be our venue, email me! If you would like to help support in a grant or collecting funds, email me! If you would like to volunteer for the event the day of the fashion show, email me!
Super excited to collaborate together and make a beautiful fashion show! 🏳️⚧️🦋🏳️🌈🦋
Over the past few weeks, I've received numerous comments, questions, and messages all centered around one topic: Why does my Zora OC have breasts when canon Zoras don't?
Though factually incorrect, the frequency that the question has been raised and the air of misogyny which often accompanies it has made it increasingly frustrating to see repeated in the comments of my personal art.
Because this misconception appears to stem largely from unfamiliarity with the series' history and character designs, I've decided to put together a brief overview of the long and surprisingly consistent history of Zora breasts within the franchise. My goal is not only to address the question once and for all, but also to provide context for newer fans who may not have been involved with the fandom for as long.
So, let's talk about Zora knockers.
The Downfall Timeline
Zora have been a part of The Legend of Zelda series since the release of the original game in 1986. Due to the technological limitations of the time, their appearance in early titles was ambiguous. However, the game's official instruction booklet describes them as "half-fish, half-woman," providing one possible insight into their intended design. [Citation]
Thankfully, clearer understanding of their appearance can be gained by examining later games within the Downfall Timeline where the Zora are depicted in greater detail while retaining many of the characteristics established in the series' earliest depictions.
One notable example is Queen Oren, the Zora Queen who appears in A Link Between Worlds. Oren is a distinctly full-figured character who features a prominent chest further emphasized by her shell-like bra. While her appearance is somewhat unique among the Zora seen in the Downfall Timeline, there is no indication within the game's canon that she is an exception to the species' biology.
Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask
The version of the Zora species most fans are familiar with today was introduced in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) and later expanded upon in its direct sequel, Majora's Mask (2000). These games established many of the visual and cultural traits that would come to define the Zora for years to come.
While the majority of named Zora characters featured in both titles are male, players are also introduced to two prominent female Zora characters: Princess Ruto, the heir to Zora's Domain in Ocarina of Time, and Lulu, the celebrated singer of the Indigo-Go's in Majora's Mask.
Notably, both characters are depicted with traditionally feminine body shapes, including prominent breasts. This is evident not only in their in-game models but also in official renders.
Twilight Princess
Twilight Princess was the best-selling game in the franchise until Breath of the Wild dethroned it in 2017. The game was widely praised for its striking visuals, compelling storyline, and more mature tone. But although it possesses many strengths, one stands far above the rest in this writer's admittedly biased opinion: Queen Rutella.
Despite her limited screen time, Rutela leaves a lasting impression. Her design is graceful and regal, while her role in the story is imbued with a quiet tragedy that makes her one of the series' most memorable supporting characters. (At least in my opinion 😊🩷)
More importantly for the purposes of this discussion, Rutela's design continues a visual tradition that had already been established by earlier female Zora.
Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom
The two most recent mainline entries in the franchise, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, are landmark titles whose influence can be seen throughout the gaming industry. Breath of the Wild in particular was celebrated for reinventing the traditional Zelda formula, embracing a level of player freedom and open-ended exploration not seen in the series since the original game.
Among its many innovations was a vast open world populated by a diverse cast of NPCs. This represented a particularly significant change for the Zora in particular, as in previous titles, most Zora NPCs shared a model. By contrast, Breath of the Wild introduced Zora with different body types, color palettes, silhouettes, ect- allowing players to recognize them as individuals and giving us a clear look at what constitutes the species' visual baseline.
And do you know what's included in that baseline?
That's right: boobs. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Female Zora throughout Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are routinely depicted with visible breasts of varying sizes. They are no longer reserved to important story characters. Once Nintendo finally moved beyond recycling a handful of generic models and began depicting the Zora as a diverse population, breasts became a standard feature of female Zora design.
And of course that's just npcs. Zora girls with more significant roles in the story (Mipha, Yona, Qia) share the same traits.
In Conclusion.
From the very beginning, Nintendo has consistently portrayed female Zora with visible chests as part of their character designs for three decades. The characters listed above are clear examples that breasts have been a recurring and intentional feature of female Zora depictions throughout the franchise's history- effectively proving that Zora may exhibit secondary sexual characteristics similar to those of humans.
This isn't new. So stop acting like it is, for the love of god 😭🙏
REBLOG THIS. NOW. OR WE’RE NOT FRIENDS. (If you cannot due to not being at your device, internet issues, or something else, that is entirely fine. JUST REBLOG WHEN YOU CAN!)
I be continuing zora may after may for a little, partially because I started late and partially because I gave myself an anxiety attack with it and had to take a break lol
