thank you!

heres some newer art for her :3

i designed her to be a counterpart to demise really, so shes inspired by him- the reason i did it, as far as i remember was bc i saw a screenshot of a skyward sword manga? that featured hylia and she looked like a carbon copy of zelda, which made me so mad i went down a rabbithole and never returned (i also turned into the number one demise fan (self proclaimed) AND started my pre-skyward sword comic bc of it eventually)

i wanted her to look less human and more other, like an in between of a god and a mortal, which is essentially what she, and demise too, is in the story im writing (demise, hylia and 'courage' were born as mortals, killed by the gods and made into immortal* deities to furfill the orders of the gods in each world- demise is an ancient deity fallen from grace as he rebelled against the gods for the sake of the mortals in his world, which he loved dearly, bc the prophecy/order he received required him to give up his divinity and endanger his people; in the end his world died with only him and ghirahim left, as they are both immortal (bladespirits here are forged out of a piece of a deities soul))

*immortal to anything but the bladespirit of another deity wielded by its creator with the intent to kill; so demise could only injure himself with ghirahim and potentially die of losing all magic (though wounds heal quick and if death is close he would lose consciousness to preserve magic and heal quicker) but not be instantly dead even if stabbed right into his soul- if hylia did so using fi with the intend to kill him he would be dead extremely quickly, no matter how much magic he had left; any non lethal wound from a blade wielded with the intention to kill leaves a scar, while other injuries or cuts do not, as it leaves a scar on the magic body underneath the scale armoring which is permanent (hence him having a scar on his chin from where hylia cut him in chapter 1)

i looked through my files and i think this art from early 2019 is the first time i drew her, here the demise inspiration is even more obvious (but.. uh, warning, old art >_>)

(dont ask me whats going on with her neck ok i dont know either)

and this was an iteration on it from 2020, of course she went through many iterations since then (bc i can never stop changing designs lol) but the direction to her current design is really clear

inspiration hit late december

i call this the naked loop comic

loop shows up hiiiiiii i reformed can you hit me up with some clothes and sif tries not to scream, directs them to the window of his inn room, and books it the long way round
