Whoo-ooh, finally finished this. This was supposed to be a simple "illustrate some reference notes, work on character design" project, but it got kinda out of hand. In any case, this is the general gist of the royal family line in my sky pirates au (au? it's more just a separate project than an au I guess, but au works as a good shorthand since the world of sky pirates isn't directly connected to any specific preexisting LoZ world). There's some notes from the semi-WIP arts I uploaded here and here, for those interested. I can't share anything that would spoil the plot, but some fun general trivia: the "Era of Fracture" refers to when Hyrule was literally fractured and giant hunks of land were sent into the sky as floating islands, which act as the setting for the story (I swear I came up with this idea almost ten years ago after playing Skyward Sword, when I thought "wouldn't it be cool if there was a Hyrule like Skyward Sword and Wind Waker with floating sky islands that were fleshed out beyond a few hunks of barely inhabited rocks"--BotW2 probably won't have cool skyships though, and Skyward Sword already made the floating islands a things, so it's fine, the settings only somewhat plot-important anyhow). Zelda I lived through the events that led to this fracturing, and, despite being dead for a very, very long time, she's actually got a bit of plot-relevance because of those events. As noted in one of my other arts, the royal family is matrilineal, with people marrying into the family and taking the surname Hyrule to reflect this (for example Daltan, the current king, came from the family Rohanus and married into the royal family). Likewise, anyone who isn't technically eligible to inherit the throne usually marries "out" of the family, i.e. Gaepora and Rauru. Surnames also get changed to reflect occupations on occasion, which is why both Rauru and Osfala are "Lightsage"" (because they serve in the role of Sage of Light), despite Osfala being born to Kaebora who married out when she eloped with the court poet, Sahasra. Actually, writing it all out like this makes my mental map of how inheritance and lines are traced in the royal family seem way more complicated than it actually is. In any case, the inheritance rules aren't even really that important for the story, and will be explained in much, much simpler terms for the like, one part of the story where they do get brought up. A lot of these are still early designs, so they're bound to change a bit as I experiment and settle into drawing the characters more often. But it was still a nice little exercise to work on some designs and color palettes to give myself a more solid idea of where I want to go visually.

So, I’ve taken a few week break from posting and being active on tumblr. It’s been refreshing and was really needed!!

I went on vacation and had a great time with my nieces. ☺️

Also, I’ve done a lot of drawing and did some fun stuff with followers over on my Instagram—which I will be posting soon—and I plan to do some of the same stuff here on my blog!

The afternoon was quiet. The gently rhythm of falling rain gave the already sleepy room a near dreamlike atmosphere. The shelves traveled endlessly into a magic world of music and wonder that kept drawing Tia deeper and deeper into the store. A box had caught her eyes, simple in design with gnomish letters written on the top. She lifted it looking over each side. With a blow of air she cleared the dust having to fan the air quickly unless she wanted to be stuck in a coughing fit. The box nearly fit in the palm of her hand. A small lock clasped the two ends together hiding what was inside. Rarely was something locked in this store, must be good.

The gnomes gently dream came to an abrupt end as she shot up. Her pink hair frizzy barely contained in the bun she had tied it in. Her green eyes shot up to the elf.

“Oh Tiala, I must have dozed off.” She spoke in a lull that was broken by a long yawn.

“Yes you did.” The bard smiled placing the box on the counter. “I was wondering what this was?”

The gnomes eyes scanned over the letters before widening. “Oh my, I thought I lost this.” She quickly spun around grabbing a set of equally dusty keys. She flipped through them quickly, finding the locks matching key. Carefully she opened the old wooden container peering at the contents with a reminiscent smile. “This takes me back.” She spun the box around to face Tiala.

When Tiala volunteer to babysit Lily (Aly x Price’s daughter). And she ended up in the Principal office after receiving the call about the teacher treating Lilian badly.

Tiala, is sitting next to Lily while listening to all of this: *saw a small bruise on her hand* …………

*she lightly took little Lily’s hand as she examined it*

Tiala: Lily, WHEN was this?

Lily: ……since New Years. 🥺

*something SNAPPED inside of Tiala before she let go of Lily’s hand and stood up before taking a DEEP breath*

Tiala: *snapped her neck at the teacher* You DUMB. FUCKING. BITCH.

*the teacher sweat a lot before jolting at Tiala slammed her fist on the Principal’s desk*

Tiala: I’M GONNA FUCK YOU UP!!!💢💢💢

Principal: WAIT-

Teacher: *screamed at Tiala pouncing on them*

~meanwhile~

*Price and Aly were enjoying their time at the beach*

Price: Mmmm….*felt something is off as he sat up and lifted his sunglasses up* Something is wrong.

Aly: ???

MUST PROTECT THE BABY BEAN!!!

And also, update on the story of Farmer!Price x Farmer!Female!Reader. I’m still half way through it. And I sometime need a break today to clear my mind. I haven’t get enough sleep last night due to family stuff (nothing BAD). So it’s either tomorrow or the next day that I’ll be finishing it up and post it! Thank you for your patience everyone! Have a nice day/evening/night!🥰🥰🥰☺️☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️
