I saw the new Zelda game... specifically I was looking 👀 at the fact river zora exist alongside lake zora.

Not many know this about me (In fact, no one might), but this is an idea I've been infatuated with since I first played the oracle series (another couple of my all time favorite Zelda games, though I consider them both as one unit). In one of my older (dead) aus from over a decade ago, i played with the concept before, a Romeo and Juliet style romance between a river zora and a lake zora while their tribes are feuding. (Though back in that AU my river zora was closer to canon)

tried new colourin style w thies. like using multiply layers then scribbles over the top on a normal layer too so its like kinda lineless kinda not

OO how young was he when this happened 👀 and did he land in some fuckin hot trouble? i dont imagine he’d get off the hook easily. also was he mentored by someone? or jus made his way through this world on his own 🤔

and speakin of illegalities 

siluri’s descent into the underworld wasn’t exactly streamlined. originally their plan was a straight shot to the fleet, finish service as soon as possible, dick around for the rest of their time alive. a complicated situation involving blackmail and siluri being a witness basically led to threats and having to keep their mouth shut w some illegal arms trade on the side. surprisingly to this Particular Officer siluri was pretty good at keeping their mouth shut, and even better and getting a hand in ops (which was undertaken as a symbol of trust / passage). one thing led to another, and an “honourable” discharge later, siluri’s got a one-way ticket to the underworld, starting w the connections they forged earlier. 

forgive me for the low quality post, but I've been having a hard time irl recently so i haven't been motivated to draw... at all...

BUT even still i really wanted to get something going for Zora may 😭 (i feel really guilty bc i really wanted to get more done than i did last year but then everything hit me all at once)

I start every post saying HI so... Hello. Today I finally drew a proper fullbody image for another one of my Zora OCs (from my AU), Siluri!

She's actually a River Zora, and honestly I based most of her looks from Queen Oren from ALBW. She's also based off of a catfish!

I took the opportunity to include some REALLY old doodles featuring her too cause I can't see myself ever uploading them otherwise. (Showing Prince Kaluga's fickle heart here too lol)

ummm. More AU lore under the cut for context, as usual!
