HELLO
It’s been a while, but thought I’d share this project I’ve been working on to keep me entertained. I’ve always adored the Zelda series and have wanted to do a personal fanart project based on it since FOREVER.
I mostly post on Instagram and Twitter so feel free to follow me there for more frequent updates!
Hey yea I love you and can you do me a favor and just do like a really quick thing on how to draw like satyr legs. I want to draw my boy but I can’t draw he leggies. You ain’t gotta but I would love you even more. Thank you sm 🖤💜💙💚💛❤️💟💓💗💖💔❣️💕💘💞💝🎀
Tutorial time!
BEFORE ANYTHING: This is how I personally do this. Other artists will have other ways, other styles and other references, so expand your horizon looking up to them too!
BEFORE ANYTHING²: I’ll have to trust you with the basic anatomy understanding!
So LETS GO
Those are human legs doing things human legs do, and that’s on the last one is a suggestion of the bones, aint anatomically correct but i just need y’all to visualize it.
Then:
This is anthropomorphic leggy! Also with bones suggestions! did you see the catch? no? (I used deer legs as references!)
See now? With luck we’re mammals so we sorta have the same bones in different ways, and use it as advantage!
In fantastic anatomy, there’s not much rules because, well, it’s not real so there’s no book teaching you how to properly draw those. like centaurs, they have two toraxic boxes! 4 LUNGS??? 2 STOMACHES? Doesn’t matter, does it? it’s belivable, and it’s what matter!
I repeat: It’s only belivable, and it’s what matter!
Also the muscles will work sorta on the same way (see the blobs). On the satyr ones, the purples are smaller, just as the brigh blue one, since this part is smaller than the thighs and feet, meanwhile it’s usually longer on humans!
It’s more about understanding the shape then drawing the leg over it, because this makes you understand how it was supposed to move even you don’t have a real anatomy satyr leg in front of you, or dunno, octapus merman, go wild my buddy!
This is how i usually doodle them before even getting the anatomy right, usually i just need the idea of the leg before actually starting
and most important:
GET. YO. FRIGGING. REFERENCES.
yES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT. References always. Disney has a lot of stuff free for you to look at, and fantasy is a common theme, there’s thousands of other tutorials and artists that also do this, and it’s good to make sure you saw at least 3 or 4 more, never hurts learning more about what you want to make A++!
With reference, you’re not tied only to deer legs, but dogs, elephants, crocodiles, birds, snakes?, anything! It’s really important!
GOOD LUCK!
A Twitter thread of mine that I think some of you may find useful here as well! I’ll update this periodically when I update the Twitter thread.

The amazing nature
Oh, I realized I never posted anything about Fleet here. Fleet is one of the protagonists in one of the games we’re developing, set in the same universe as Rivals of Aether. More information about it and the other stuff we’re cooking pretty soon. :)
Last year I was lucky enough to buy an amazing collection of old Slayers stuff right from Japan. And the most amazing thing was to find an old and rather famous illustration of Lina and Gourry. I never could find this picture in good quality on the Internet and I decided to scan it and publish it here so every fan of Slayers could find it. This is actually one of my most favourite illustration and I happy to share the quality version of it with all of you.

For people who want to start reading Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman
I only got into Sandman last June. I wish I had read it sooner but no one really described it well to me so I went in almost completely unawares.
The main character in Sandman is Morpheus AKA Dream of The Endless. He is the living embodiment of dreams. His usual appearance (as his form changes depending on who is looking upon him) has peculiar, bone-white, skin and completely-black eyes with tiny star-like pupils that flare when he’s using his powers. He has wild black hair and is extremely thin.
His minion are entities of Dreams and Nightmares. He seems to have a fondness for Halloween aesthetics from Jack-o-lanterns and Gothic castles to spooky old houses (like The House of Secrets and The House of Mystery), and ravens.
Morpheus AKA Dream of The Endless is of a family of beings known as… well… The Endless.
The Endless are a family of anthropomorphic personifications. That means they are living embodiments of certain concepts. For example Morpheus / Dream’s older sister is Death. She’s essentially the Grim Reaper.
The family consists of Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and little Delirium (She used to be Delight but she went mad).
Most of Sandman is the story of Morpheus and what happens to him. The place to begin is Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes.
In this story Morpheus gets summoned and captured by early twentieth century occultists who had been trying to capture Death but got him by mistake. He is kept locked in a windowless cellar in a glass cage for nearly a century.
When he finally escapes he gets his revenge on the son of his original captor and then seeks out his tools that were taken from him when he was captured. These tools include his pouch of dream sand (he is the Sandman after all), his helm (a battle helmet, though he rarely if ever goes into battle, made from a skull and spine of Old Gods and resembles a gas mask), and his rubly dreamstone amulet, a conduit for his power (like a wizard’s wand).
The first storyline is Morpheus reclaiming these lost artifacts. At one point this leads him to Hell where he faces a demon who has gotten a hold of his helm. The demon challenges him to a game of wits, creativity, and imagination as opposed to physical combat.
Morpheus used to be something of an asshole but he undergoes considerable character growth through the course of the series and becomes more and more compassionate.
Often he finds himself simply trying to set right the wrongs of his own past. For example Sandman: Season of Mists starts with Morpheus reluctantly (he’s very afraid) going back to Hell to rescue a soul he wrongfully left there centuries before only to find that Lucifer is quitting (basis for the plot of the Fox / Netflix TV series).
Lucifer leaves Morpheus the key to Hell and and now Morpheus must figure out what to do with it while The Dreaming (his realm) is bombarded with deities and beings of folklore who all want the key to Hell for themselves since it’s “Prime psychic real estate.”
The Sandman is strange. It’s surreal and it’s beautiful. Each volume of Sandman is drawn in a different art style. There’s very little combat-style action or explosions though there is occasional horror and gore. It’s more like a work of pure literature than any traditional idea of a comic book.
The order Sandman should be read in is as follows:
1. The Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes 2. The Sandman: The Doll’s House 3. The Sandman: Dream Country 4. The Sandman: Season of Mists 5. The Sandman: A Game of You 6. The Sandman: Fables and Reflections 7. The Sandman: Brief Lives 8. The Sandman: The Worlds’ End 9. The Sandman: The Kindly Ones 10. The Sandman: The Wake The Sandman: Dream Hunters The Sandman Endless Nights The Sandman Overture (a very beautiful prequel)
The Sandman can also be read in the Omnibus form (three volumes) or in the “Absolute editions” (There are six in all). The Absolute editions are better than the omnibuses and physically easier to read (larger print) but they are more expensive.
mrs-bees-for-eyes This is for you.
This may be useful for some of you, I hope…
I can’t stress enough the importance of stretching your hands, and forearms every morning and every evening, spend 5-10 minutes going through a stretching routine. These are very easy to do, takes little time to do them. It’s VERY common in all animation studios. Conditions can slowly develop, the most typical one is Repetitive Strain Injury, it’s a prevalent condition resulting from overusing the hands to perform a repetitive task, such as typing, clicking a mouse, writing, and of course drawing. In simple medical terms, repetitive strain injury (RSI) stems from prolonged repetitive, forceful, or awkward hand movements. The result is minor damage to muscles, tendons, and nerves of the neck, shoulder, forearm, and most commonly hand and wrist, which can cause pain, weakness, or numbness. If you’re feeling some pains, tingles, weakness, or numbness in the wrist/forearm; one of the best ways to heal quickly are ‘Contrasting Baths’. What crazy voodoo am I speaking of? A couple different physiotherapists and massage therapists had recommended this technique to me several years ago, and for anyone I knew that tried it, they all say the results are fast and effective. Commonly used by carpal tunnel suffers, it’s a method of treating muscle soreness, swelling and inflammation, it’s also known as Hot/Cold Immersion Therapy. You can use the double sink in your kitchen at home, if you don’t have one, then get your hands on two very large identical bowls, it needs to be big enough to submerge your entire forearms from wrist to elbow. Fill one up with ice cold water (with a couple dozen ice cubes floating in there). The other with very warm water, not tea-kettle boiling hot water, just hot tap water, or as warm as you can handle, no sense in burning yourself of course. Have a stop watch or clock ready, and submerge your arms for 30 seconds in the hot, then switch to doing 30 sec. in the cold, and repeat a few times back and forth, 30 sec. a piece. After only a few times you’ll notice the hot water getting cooler and the cold water getting warmer, so then the technique grows to be less effective, but by then, the job is done. The idea is that the extreme heat and cold contracts and expands your blood vessels, promoting greater blood flow to circulate and flush through your arms, and increased blood flow is what aids in healing faster! Enjoy!
