breathe in, breathe out

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.

These are the Lorulean Heroes of Wisdoms' finalized designs for ABoM! (Four's counterpart does also exist, but they haven’t been included for main fic plot reasons)

Depths (Sky's counterpart):

Though outwardly standoffish, Depths really just has become a bit world weary.  He means well even if he cuts into conversations at inopportune moments. And he will step up to do the right thing if need be. At the moment, Depths has resigned himself to this journey with the other Ravios he has found himself on.

Clock (Time's counterpart):

Clock can be on the overbearing and long winded side, but he’s a very genuine person who highly values authenticity. He always makes an effort to keep whimsy and wonder in his life. And despite loving telling tales about his life, he’s terrible at explaining things, so can come off as a conspiracy theorist.

Rabbit (Legend's counterpart):

The Ravio from ALBW and the HW DLC, Rabbit had become an ambassador in Hyrule to help get Lorule Kingdom back on its feet while making magical items to sell on the side, having found he genuinely enjoys being a merchant when the world isn’t in active danger. But now, he's not having a good time on the Ravios’ quest and has found himself deemed the experienced one despite not believing himself to be a real hero like the others.

Lorule (Hyrule's counterpart):

Lorule's the group's proper palace boy and book-loving history nerd. Driven by honor and duty and wanting to be the perfect hero, he tries to be as polite as possible and approaches life like a political meeting. However, being headstrong and on the irritable side despite his efforts, this doesn't always work...

Mist (Wind's counterpart):

A suprisingly good actor who loves collecting hats and a good story, Mist wants his own life to be a story worth telling. He’s dramatic and theatrical but always puts on a snarky show of confidence. He’s independent in that he’ll run off to get things done himself. Still, Mist plays up his helplessness and uses pity to his advantage, having Robin Hood-esque morals.

Daybreak (Twilight's counterpart):

Daybreak is probably the seemingly shadiest and most unhinged of the Ravios. Generally, he comes off as overly cheery and happy go lucky, like a golden retriever with a hint of the uncanny valley thrown in. But Daybreak knows how to bare his fangs, especially when it comes to protecting others. Whether or not he'd actually bloody those fangs is another story.

Diplomat (Warriors's counterpart):

Outwardly, Diplomat may be the most different from his counterpart, being an incredibly awkward mess even while keeping the peace and acting as a mediator. He highly values honesty, so he doesn't really try to put up a front. Diplomat's stubborn in that way and would prefer to forge his own path in life over being someone he's not.

Techy (Wild's counterpart):

Techy, the group inventor with robots in his pocket, can often be found tinkering with something or over-planning. His impatience to fix problems makes him driven, but it can also make him a bit too willing to take risks, even after calculating potential costs. Being very spacey, Techy feels like he lives more in his own head than the real world despite constantly moving forward towards his goals.

(Additional notes + flats and lineart below)

I read the @bonus-links comic earlier this week for the first time and fell in love with this older windwaker Link design. He is so fun, and cheerful and cheeky, and very unapologetically himself the pirate.

(I also love how the artist draws him with a mouth in the shape of a heart when he is grinning thats such a cute detail i feel happy just looking at him)

My entry for @lele5429 's DTIYS! :^] I had such a blast working on this!! Also, the Mameo pencils + CSP gouache brush saved my life here lol
