Hey @gaylactic-fire, I was your secret Santa :D You asked for Shadow, Blue and Red in either a platonic or romantic context so here they are. My thought process behind this was more or less that there are probably no seasons as we know them in the dark world, so Shadow's first encounter with The Cold is a... complicated one. And since Red and Blue both have something to do with freezing as well, just in wildly different directions, it fit.

And we're on day 5 with my favorite boy!

I'm a little late bc I needed permission to post and also this isn't Foursword buuut that color just spoke to me for the given drawing.

As a quick summary: That's BOTW Link in an AU by @/xino_oyo on Instagram, inspired by Japanese and Chinese folklore. He's a part time idiot feral child, except when it's time for angst. In which case it quickly goes south. In the upper right corner, you can see Twilight Princess Link who, through a series of unfortunate events also involving a lot of angst, got stuck with BOTW Link, essentially acting as the voice of reason half the time and being an annoying big brother the rest of it.

I did a style challenge :D that's what the cool kids do, yea?

Frankly, I wasn't really happy with how my artstyle looks and I've noticed that I'm only following a routine when drawing which is neither fun nor does it look any good, so I thought it might be a good idea to take a closer look at other artist's styles and try to replicate them. As you see, it went really good for some, and okay for others ^^"

Either way, thank you @reiblu @othervio @forest-minish-arts @kaenith and @kurowick for letting me borrow your styles! Hope I didn't butcher anyone's too bad ^^"
