Lots of artist friends of mine have been talking about the OoT remake today and the direction of its character design. It got me to sketch an old idea I've held that a Zelda game would do great fully embracing a Rankin-Bass puppet sort of character design :P
An illustration by Scruffy depicting Link, Zelda, Beedle, Ganondorf and Ganon sketched as Rankin-Bass puppets.

Hello everyone! Work has been extremely busy and life has been quite transitional so far this year, I apologize for being so absent as a result. I've got a lot that I want to publish share, just need the spare time and resources to work on it all. Come September I'm hoping to seize such a chance.

A new What I Love video! Heavy spoiler warning: it's all about the endgame of Outer Wilds, and the orchestration/sound design decisions that guide the player through its final sequence. Though I don't talk about the DLC (yet), so if you haven't played through that, no worries! youtu.be/lheIxAMDr0U

A new arrangement! I've turned And Now For Today's Sponsors from Deltarune Chapter 3 into a bombastic big band medley, straight out of a game show from the 90s or early 2000s. I hope to have done justice to Tenna and his showmanship! youtu.be/q7r4kM_-kxc

Omg, my old friend. Made this in Blender a few years back, and it's fascinating to see it pop up now and again with a few more jpeg artifacts each time

Mainly used CSP's default gouache brush for this to give every surface some nice painterly grit. And nearly every layer got a pipeline of: 1. Multiply layer for primary shadows 2. Multiply layer for (heavy) ambient occlusion 3. Add layer for specular highlights and red rim lighting

Scruffy @scruffymusic.bsky.social · 11/07/2025
I forgot to enable Clip Studio Paint's timelapse feature when I painted Warhammer Bowser for the latest arrangement's thumbnail, so instead, I put together a little video of each layer being added in roughly the order I painted them!

It's a triple attack of new music arrangements! The theme is boss music in the style of a different game... but I ended up arranging *all* the options in the Patreon poll! First up is the Emperor Bulblax battle from Pikmin, in the style of a boss from Breath of the Wild! youtu.be/kxNIe5Z631I?...

I don't often plug my Patreon, but I'm especially excited for my next arrangement and patrons currently get to vote on it! The theme is "cross-bosses:" iconic themes from climactic fights in their respective games, but done in the style of a different game soundtrack! www.patreon.com/posts/arrang...

Your guess unfortunately seems to be the case, as the comment isn't even held for review, it's just gone with no notice. If you can provide a link to that list of corrections, I'll make a new pinned comment and credit you! Hopefully YouTube wouldn't take down a comment from me on my own video lol

To elaborate my point (spoilers!): They're both ludicrously fashionable three-eyed goat people from ancient but technologically advanced civilizations (whose names are two letters apart: Zonai, Nomai) who befriend and guide the protagonist despite being not quite alive nor dead.
