*coughs out art and disappears for another 2 months*

been feeling some artblock,, but i found new brushes + a budding art trend, and i worked my way out of it

flats & og post under the cut!

The monster that Legend and Hyrule are fighting is a daira, not a lizalfos. Daira look like alligators, wield axes, and have mohawks. They are monsters that are exclusive to Hyrule's adventure.

Lizalfos have several incarnations, but they usually look like lizards and wield swords/knives or spears. The Lizalfos we have seen are specifically based on the ones from Ocarina of Time and Echoes of Wisdom. The Lizalfos in The Shadow seem to interestingly use the red spikes to indicate rank of some sort, with some having no spikes, some having one shoulder, and the Shadow having both shoulder armors spiky (and more elaborate armor in general).

Jojo pours a tremendous amount of attention to detail into these posts, so it feels a little unintentionally reductionist to take something which clearly had a lot of effort spent to make a cool and dynamic daira and just call it "a lizalfos with a mohawk". Part of what makes this comic so special to me is it doesn't just rely on a generic design for monsters, or only use designs from one era! But I also know not everyone knows all the monster designs, so I am putting out this PSA so people can admire the differences with me!

Also, from the comics it seems like Sky doesn’t have much trouble seeing Wind as more than a kiddy-kid, even if seeing such a young face carrying the sword might bother him. On the other side of things, Wind seems pretty comfortable with Sky and doesn’t clash with him often, if at all.

But then you consider their opposing secrets and things get interesting.

For Sky, we have the popular Demise’s Curse trope. He feels guilty and responsible and internalizes how badly the Hero’s Spirit influenced the other Links. That’s all well and good, but how does that work with Wind not having the Hero’s Spirit?

There are already a few fics about that, but I wanna consider how Demise’s Curse works in the usual Wind Fic. We have Wind who feels underestimated and under appreciated and maybe not as close to his brothers as he could be. But then we have Sky claiming that only the Hero’s Spirit can rise and successfully take out the Incarnation of Demise’s Hatred, and oh dear, that’s just another mark against Wind, isn’t it?

Anyways, a fic about that would be nice, I think. At least I hope so, since I already wrote it.
