Dancing, Singing, Exciting!

Four sword palace man. I just woke up and had so many feelings about it. Whether the shadows legend had to fight in the four sword palace were only corrupted echoes of four or not, this bonus dungeon brings so many conflicting feelings to the table i love it!

Okay, now onto my thought process during drawing:

The primary color of this piece is purple. Purple is the color of knowledge, i mean look at vio, but in this case i also associate it with grief and guilt. Vio was the one that got the closest to shadow, the one cunning enough to play double agent, the one who got hit the hardest when shadow sacrificed himself. Their involvement got shadow killed and now legends involvement ended four. If there is one thing heroes are good at, aside from being recklessly helpful, is blaming themselves for something out of their control.

Also both have purple eyes. I wanted them to match, though its not that obvious since they are so small in the overal piece.

Aside from vio, the other colors are also very present. Not only in the shadow of legends fear and memory, but also in the lighting. I wanted to give an impression of them talking to each other by making the light shapes very sharp and vertical, almost like sound waves that bleed into each other.

Four is holding a children’s book about the minish. Since legend comes from the downfall timeline, i’d like to think that the lighter moments in his youth were filled with fairy tales about four’s adventures. Its also why ive placed four in front of the stained window. Four might have been a successful hero that Legend clung to in his darker moments… only for them to “meet” in such a horrifying way. Aside from heroes, martyrs and tragic figures were also often depicted in stained windows after all. Four might not be paying a lot of attention to the stained glass sword, but legend is very acutely aware of its presence in this picture. Sword of damocles, anyone?

1. I over-rendered Legend and the Moon Cello (Can't help it I always want to see these two together). Took me almost 8 hrs in total hshahsha 🤦‍♀️ Mistakes are here and there but I was quite satisfied despite my first time drawing cello + how long it took me.

2. I'm also greedy to draw these two. They're one of the rarepairs but they're just soo fairycore okk sobs.

3. Rosins. Aren't these things look so lickable? They came in different shapes and colors (usually yellowish) with cool little boxes. Like a big honey candy. (Leg's rosin are probably purple and bunny shaped bcs apparently Ravio also sell those lol 🐰).
