zeldatwt, let’s start off the year with you promoting your account! ❄️

I hope we can still do this in the Ocarina of Time remake 👀

[Charles @sunlit_leaves]

Which seems contradictory, but could be a chance to retcon Ocarina of Time to more closely follow the backstory of Ganondorf entering the Sacred Realm from A Link to the Past (using magic to force himself in) It'd be very unexpected for the devs to be so lore conscious, though.

[Charles @sunlit_leaves]

Could be just a visual cue for the teaser, or for visual clarity sort of like how in Skyward Sword the pieces appear on his hand as he gains their virtues rather than the actual pieces. Actual lore reason could be Ganondorf touched and broke the Triforce before the intro.

[Jace (Carthu) @carthusdojo]

weird detail. Link shouldn't have the Triforce of Courage here. that happens after Ganondorf gets into the Sacred Realm and the Triforce splits so Link doesn't have it until he's Adult Link. changing the story i guess? or maybe just visualizing the Triforce already chose him?

First time I can ever remember where I'm not instantly won over by a 3D mainline Zelda reveal... I need to see gameplay of tjis to be won over

[Charles @sunlit_leaves]

Pretty confident we'll see whatever the newest Zelda game is going to be tomorrow. Whether it's really an Ocarina of Time remake, or something totally new

After two years, I finally got my first god pack in Pokémon Pocket

[Charles @sunlit_leaves]

@minishsoup Thisss, also if you don't like layers because it takes you out of the process, painting everything on just one is a totally valid approach

[Charles @sunlit_leaves]

@GabyCVenegas Hate to hear all that happened, Gaby. Life is always throwing curveballs at us, but I truly do believe if we keep chasing our dreams they're bound to happen!!

[Gaby Venegas @GabyCVenegas]

This piece is abt hope. I’ve been struggling to create art this past year. No luck with jobs, last year my house caught fire, my sister got rlly sick, and this weekend my iPad was stolen. I’m trying my best to stay positive but I’m gonna be honest Its hard. But I still have hope.

[Charles @sunlit_leaves]

@NateDHernandez I think about getting back on the horse sometimes, but I often wonder if I should start over wuth a new account or keep rolling with this one

[Charles @sunlit_leaves]

@NateDHernandez I would still do art trends but I've not had good visibility with twitter in a year. I think the algo holed me into Zelda fanart initially and when I pivoted to posting personal work the algo stopped pushing it to people

[Francene 🪶 Open to Work! @__folil]

Throwing this out into the twitter void.. But I’m looking for work!

Looking for 2D artist jobs or even social media or other management jobs for gaming and animation industry!

DMs Open!

@trialofthepanda In any case, moral of the story, commissioners really should leave the art part to the artists, lol.

[Charles @sunlit_leaves]

@trialofthepanda I think of it like, on the one hand they did pay me to make what they want as a painting... but at the same time they're paying so it's my painting with the theme/subject they want and I don't want something I've done to be subpar

[Kade Byrand is looking for work! @Kbyrandart]

It's my birthday, paint a penguin in my honor

[esther @disasterzoo]

some stills from my calarts thesis film, “Heartstone”, which will be screening at open show this weekend and will be released online mid-may!

[Charles @sunlit_leaves]

@saralanart Haven't actually caught onto that pattern yet, maybe because I don't keep up much with any game franchises from either company

There's probably some ping-pong going on here, right? Layoffs from one lead to the other studio hiring and scooping up the talent?
