Aaaaaaa!!!! The latest update!! Idk if it was intentional or not but the fact that Slate's eyes are the dull blue (pre-calamity) when he's in the memory and then they go right back to that unnaturally electric blue when he comes out of it is UIRIHHGJGNGNFNN!!!!!!

his eyes don’t fully turn into champion’s eyes— they’re still that acid blue underneath, but it is intentional that they look similar. I would say it’s more that champion is showing him a memory, rather than fully possessing him or something like that. but u guys can interpret it however u like :-)

my personal half moon pie cooking method theory: lightly fried then steamed, like a sweet gyoza ! maybe even lightly coated with sugar to caramelise the fried side too. i imagine the steamed pie would have a similar texture to nai wong bao maybe?

loving all the art and eager to see how your story unfolds :)

oooo that sounds delicious!!! forgot abt steaming as an option lolol

and thank u so much <3

YEAHHH lots to say for this update

  • there's a scene I didn't so much as cut from the beginning of this update as significantly shorten: Wolf, Loft, Wake, and Slate are changing into their lighter outfits. Loft says the same line as having the party, Wake begs them for this one day with his Gran Gran, and they all agree they can wait. I've been trying to get better about like, not putting a ton of work into unnecessary connecting scenes, which is why I cut it down. Wake sounding more cavalier also works better for the overall chapter. But i was sad to leave this joke out lol:
  • may I present to you, Slate's picture gallery! he was mostly on task documenting flora and fauna but he gets a little sidetracked sometimes
  • I love the idea that he's just, like, kind of terrible at photography. he documents stuff for Zelda and it's always weirdly cropped and kind of out of focus, but she appreciates it anyway.
  • Slate is also picking flowers for the party! so he is still helping out on that front lol
  • idk if i've mentioned this before, but beetle does still have pincers! they're just. idk what the right word is. retractable maybe? yeah. like the ancient weapon blades
  • the filling of the half moon pies is pineapple :-) i was. so worried about it looking like an egg HAHA.
  • I thought way too hard about how they were going to cook these pies. I was originally going to draw a clay oven or some other setup, but ultimately I thought the Zelda tradition of only having pots over fires to cook was a funnier nod lol. So, they're frying the pies
  • believe it or not, I wrote this scene before reading dungeon meshi HAHA but it certainly served as good reference for how to set up shots for it
  • Aryll did in fact eavesdrop on Wake telling Tetra The Situation
  • That's Champion's little sister in the memory! I like the headcanon that her name was also Aryll.
  • Champion and his sister are making meat pies instead of pineapple ones.
  • One again, made a bunch of layout mistakes I ended up having to fix, except this time I didn't catch them until I had already gotten to rendering :-( if you're a patron, you probably saw these versions in the WIP:
  • problems here: Wolf is walking the wrong away. I was sad we'd be losing his expression but alas. And for the panels with Champion's sister, the angle is too low to be an actual POV shot. I could've left it and said he's just sitting or something probably but it was really bothering me lol so I redrew everything. and then recolored all of it. woof.
  • as a general rule, if he has scars, that's Slate. No scars is The Other Guy
  • I understand the complaint about this in BOTW, but I actually kind of like that weird moment that occurs after you finish a memory cutscene, and it just abruptly goes back to Link looking blank-faced like nothing happened. It implies this kind of....distance from the memories that I find interesting. Slate has complicated feelings abt the memories of Champion's life he gets, but like. there's pies to make
  • shout out to peony she's a real one

as a die hard phantom hourglass enjoyer it makes me unreasonably happy to see the little coral treasure you can collect in that game making an appearance. also every linebeck appearance adds 10 years to my lifespan

and I'm so glad!! we need more Linebeck content. He's so good
