Leave It In The Sun, a Wind Waker Fan Comic
This comic was made in 2021 for @zelink-fanzine. I spent a lot of time in 2020 playing wind waker and listening to the beach boys and i wanted to make something that captured the feeling. I really love Tetra and I really don't love how she gets sidelined in the third act of the game so I wanted to take it in a route that felt more like Tetra. I spent a long time on this comic and the composition and textures and listened to a lot of music. Specifically the dress pose on page 2 and the spiral mural on page 3 were the hardest parts of the comic by far. I wouldn't have been able to make this comic without the friends I talked to on the discord phone while making it. Pretty much every part of this comic I can look at something and remember the conversation I had while drawing that specific thing. I really felt an impulse to "Prove Myself" with this one, and I'm really glad I did! it had a really warm reception and made me feel like I Did It, if you know what i mean.
The name "Leave it in the Sun" is a reference to a Jeff Rosenstock song of the same name. The whole album "NO DREAM" was a really big part of giving me the energy to finish this comic but this song was specifically the big one to me. It may not have been intentionally written to be a love song but i just find the lyrics soo romantic and triumphant. Since this whole comic was about reinterpreting meaning from old texts I felt like it was the only thing I could name this comic! The main part was like
If you knew that I think about you every single day
would it make you feel like I'm too much for you?
Or would you kinda wanna say
"You don't have to feel that way
I've been trying not to think about you too."
To any who are interested here's a big youtube playlist of the music i listened to while making this. honestly was pretty useful! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwEKjLDquWHV9QsmbiK9qN_Rtf9C7Fc8j
Special thanks to Ria, Marty, Gabes, Lilly, Fizz, Becksa, Kram, Step, Maddy, Iz, and the zelink zine people. Everyone else helped a lot but without Ria I wouldnta got past the first thumbnail sketch..shoutout ria

I don't really know what they're saying, just imagine something so nasty even the pirate is surprised af to hear an 11 year old talk like that
Based on @nell0-0's headcanon of Tatl teaching Time/Mask how to swear!

Drew something a bit different this time ^^
I know I said not to think too deeply about it on my last Mask and Fi drawing [THIS] but... I thought too deeply about it, augh. Their relationship is so complicated but I wanted to show another side of it. Hopefully I managed it here.
Fi may not have understood the animosity Mask showed towards her back in the war, but that's not the case after everything. And even if they have a bond now (kind of) it's... messy. And it's not like Mask has the stones to open the door (nor does he think he should, what with what happened last time he did). So... yeah...
It's a bit bittersweet and there's still resentment there. Just. Complicated.

If you are still taking requests… could you do BOTW or Wind Waker specific ballets? I think those would be interesting. The King of Red Lions or Calamity Ganon could be puppets or, like, a really cool costume. Idk I think it would be interesting though.
Hello! At first I thought I would group your request with the other one I received about BotW ballet but WW ballet was too tempting :D
I picture the King of Red Lions as a part of the stage decor:
I guess this wouldn’t be the easiest thing to do though haha
Here's also Link and Tetra on their own cause they're a bit small on the first one :)
Drawing these too with normal human proportions was so fun!! They’re so cute 😊
About BotW, I think I would draw Calamity Ganon the same way I did Volvagia (I was inspired by the Chinese dragon dance by the way).
———————
I won’t accept more requests at the moment! This is a request I received for my 500 followers celebration and I still have a lot to do :)
Answered art requests
