Gantober - Day 2 - Wind Waker
The sun sets red in the think clouds behind him. He stands in the shallow water, wake foam breaking against his legs.  The man wears a familiar face, but you do not recognize him at all.

Gundam Zeta is very serious show.
What can only be described as a Fascist Vampire sits at a table, almost as if he was drawn casually sitting before the meme infested the mind of the artist.

He says, "hey guys"
A white blob of a stand-in points at him, mouth agape, shouting: "HYMEN"
"That's correct," he replies.

Jamitov Hymen is the character's real, officially translated name.

I am definitely more scattered than usual. How do I know? I am seriously considering oc x canon stories of this thing:
A horrible tar-like blob, with multiple scattered yellow eyes of various sizes full of multiple scattered pupils, holds a sword in what can be generously described as an elbow. It has worm-like protrusions of palid flesh, some redder than others.  It appears to form out of the muck and the uncomfortably milky inch-or-two thick layer of water.

It's identity? It is a spoiler for Demon's Souls, don't worry about it.

I think there are only 5 people in the world that care about Borgoff Marcus. I am one of them.
Borgoff Marcus, from Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. Stands with a towel and a hand on his hip. As is predictable from me, there is no shirt.  He is chomping on a lit cigarillo with gappy large teeth.  "I got the AC working, but it's hotter than hell in there."Borgoff Marcus, mercifully clothed this time, waves a hand dismissively, and shuts his eyes.  His smile appears as if he is trying not to laugh.  He is comping on a lit cigarillo.

Someone shouts: WHERE DID ALL THESE CIGARETTE BURNS EVEN COME FROM!?

Borgoff: Ahh.. Who can say? Mysteries like these flow like rivers throughout the universe.

Insert-your-character-here artists are my heroes. WW Ganondorf is a yearn-er I feel it in my bones.
A grey figure stands on the beach (purposefully blank, with the intent of allowing the viewer to imagine whatever character they like in this scenario.)

Their head is being tilted up by a large open hand beneath their chin.

In the second frame, Wind Waker Ganondorf is standing in front of blue sky.  He is looking down, and appears to be speaking.  

However, this version is textless, to allow viewers to make their own story.

I draw The Immortal a normal amount. This is a little over 1/4 of the whole thing, but the rest isn't lined or coloured yet. Drawing closer to the style of a cartoon is helping me simplify bodies more. Some poses aren't so scary now.

He has a crazed look, and is forming tusks.  His eyes have turned orange, yellow, green and red in bright rings.  The Triforce glows on his right hand.

The start of my week (real) Jet Black is an antidepressant. Cowboy Bebop is the best.
A page of various coloured sketches of Jet Black from Cowboy Bebop.

1) Bust shot: He looks to our left, noticing something.  His cigarette is trailing smoke.
2)Bust Shot: He is wearing his big blocky shades.  He grins, and points casually in the viewers direction. There are a few sparkles.
3) Torso shot: Jet Black is in profile, showing off his robotic arm.  He is taking a drag from his cigarette with his still flesh right hand.  He seems to be staring at something with irritated suspicion.
4) Head-to-Waist:  Jet Black emerges from a steam shower, and someone immediately tries to steal the towel off of him.  
Jet: SPIKE WHAT THE HELL
Spike replies in a speech balloon: 'What the hell' yourself we only got ONE clean towel
Jet: AND ITS MINE!!
5)  Head and Shoulders, in light shadow:  Faye Valentine and Jet Black both lean over, a hand next to their ear, clearly listening in on something worth spying on.
6) Bust shot: Jet Black rubs his scalp with his mechanical hand, stressed about something and looking to his left.
7)  Jet black nets his fingers, and extends both arms, palms facing us, to stretch.
8) Jet black stares off page at something huge and glowing pink.  It is hard to read his expression but he seems stoic.  The pink thing comments: "You look lonely, Space Cowboy..."
9)  A small jet black pokes up from the bottom of the page.  He is lit by some blue glowing screen and holding a cigarette in his left hand.  "The price of fuel keeps going up, damn.  Guess I need a cheaper habit."

蛙の子は蛙 A frog's child is a frog.
Thorgil, from Vinland Saga, looms over a woman by leaning against an exterior wall. His sword is sheathed in its scabbard,  but still serves as a present threat with his thumb hooked into his belt so near to it.  He blocks her from leaving with his arm and his body.
His shadow almost entirely eclipses her and cuts them both off from the peaceful summer day.

Beyond them, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and the wheat is gold.

"A frog's child is a frog" 
Is the equivalent of "Like father, Like son"

Thorgil from Vinland Saga.  He is an imposing fellow, with a thumb hooked in a knotted belt and with a large sword in its scabbard.  He is leaning against a wall and looming over someone only partially visible in the pale sketch.

I don't think I'm going to finish this. I have psyched myself out completely. "Nobody is going to give a damn, too cliche, they will make fun of you at best" But I learned stuff making it, at least. Bluesky you can have the full thing as it stands because there are maybe 10 of you.
Ganondorf, from the Age of Imprisonment, is present in three comic frames. In the first, he holds aloft the head of a zonai construct. I think there are some spelling mistakes that I missed. ugh.

Dialog: Let this leave no room for doubt.  Their king is worse than soft, Rauru is a liar and a coward!  He spins honeyed stories of peace and collaberation... all while his constructs steal your water from under you!  Rauru aims to bleed the Gerudo dry, and has not even the courage to do it himself!

The second panel is unfinished, but he has lowered the construct's head infront of him, and was going to be running his fingers over the blade. 
Dialog: They saw my people's desire for peace and thought it a weakness to exploit.  This act can not go without reply.

The last frame, Ganondorf partially escapes-- covering the border with parts of his hair.  He faces the crowd I never ended up drawing.

Dialog: To him, I say: If he wants blood... then the Gerudo will stain the moon red

Speaking of low effort: Trying to amuse myself, and its an excuse to draw Ganondorf some more. OC Nonsense. Amateur Archaeologist asks the mummy to talk a bit about the distant past.
A rather basic portrait attempt at a teenage Ganondorf from tears of the kingdom.  He still seems to be huge, despite his youth and his key features (pronounced cheeks, sideburns, receding hairline and giant eyebrows) make gauging age by a glance difficult.  He wears mostly grey metal jewelry with only a few gold pieces.  His bottom lip has the light lipstick that seems to go in and out of fashion for the Gerudo.

Two simplified figures discuss at the sides:

Original character: Oh, wow.  When you were alive... you were really han--
Ganondorf Mummy: I had unified the Gerudo at 17
OC, interrupting:  KING!! YEP! WOW! Can't believe you were KING at 17! That's crazy HAHAhaha...
GM: ??? Don't interrupt me.Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf looks more like we expect him to now, though perhaps still softer featured.  He rests his head against a hand, his fingers nudging his eye open as he sits, he is very obviously irritable.

Two figures at the sides discuss:

Ganondorf Mummy: Six years into my reign, the Gerudo had no enemies.
Original Character: Why do you seem so... upset?
GM: Because there was nothing left to challenge me.
OC: huh>
GM: My rivals did not even ATTEMPT to have me assassinated!
OC: I'm... sorry your people LOVED YOU???
GM: I WAS SO BORED

GM: Moving on... Is this form also handsome?
OC: SHUT UP

"Don't tell your mother." Thorgil is the perfect foil for #vinlandsaga and in this essay I will explain why I am compelled by duty to write a thirty page comic followup on a character that has less screen time than bjorn.
Thorgil kneels on the ground, towering over a young girl. He hands her a dagger with an ornate bronze pommel and guard, complete with a leather sheath.  He is hiding it in front of him as though this were to remain a secret.  

She appears to be shrieking with delight, as if its something she's always wanted.

Ganondorf Mummy, my beloved 💕 For self reference. His hair is different from the game, I know, but... It's fun to draw big textured (probably damaged to hell lets be honest) mess. Even when he's dryer than a popcorn fart, he's probably like 90~100kg and that is worthy of respect.
The mummy of Ganondorf stands in an off-white void for the sake of eye strain.  He is missing most soft tissue and his clothes, which have dulled with age, are almost rotting off of him.  There is an eye-like hole in his hand.   His chest cavity is sunken save for abdominal tendons.  His teeth are browned and he has lost his nose and lips.  His fingers and toes are bone thin and his nails stand out.

A roleswap for a prompt. First time I have drawn all that twilight princess armor and I didn't hate how it came out.
Twilight Princess Ganondorf is drawing his sword.  He freezes as he finally understands what he is looking at.

Link holds up a mask with a familiar face, hiding his own in shadow.  It is Nabooru.  Link grins, his visible eye wide and manic. It is the only blot of colour in the piece, and it follows the same pattern as Majora.

POV you have incredibly poor dark vision and there is a big scary mummy.
From the mummy ganondorf project:  It is so dark you can barely make out the shape.  There is faint light, made all the fainter for the shadow infront of it.  It seems large, with a tangle of more shadow around it.  Its eyes are gleaming yellow dots, and it speaks in red: "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"

Benefit of almost no followers is there is less incentive to not just post the selfish stuff I want to make but fear people will actually see. Two different ganon things, but they ultimately require a lot of OCs to make the story I want to tell. I don't think they will appeal to anyone for that.
A child huffs, a title appears. GANONDORF, with the subtitle "Future King of All Evil"

He groans in annoyance, and is pestered by a foal. "You didn't help at all!" The boy says.
He pats the foal on the head "It's okay, we'll get more."
He looks to the east, the sun is rising.  He decides they should go right away.  He gathers some rope, and some pots, and ties them together.  The foal rests its head on him as he works.The foal trembles and whines comically, because it is made to carry the load.  It's name is PEAHAT, the foal is subtitled "A Royal Pain in the butt"
Child ganondorf puts his hands on his hips and says "They're not even full!"
The next frame is empty, for now. A different project, because the mummy is an excellent design and the horror of him is underutilized.

He sits in meditation on his ...placenta shaped platform, I am sure there is no meaning behind this imagery.   Howls of agony stretch across the page and each of his panels.  He finally reacts to it all, 'opening' his 'eyes' and saying "Die with some dignity, damn you."

He waits for a frame, and the screams quiet... only to immediately start again.  They persist throughout the page. "I will end it for you."  He hops off of his platform, sheathed sword in hand. He lands on his feet.   "For I am /kind/" He is making a joke.

Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf has ditched his armour in favour of a solo (half naked) sneak attack from the sea.  He emerges from the water like a soggy nightmare.

Two incredibly rough comic thumbnails, a planning stage for comics.

Ganondorf is dead.  Link and Zelda speak over his corpse. We close in on his face, empty speech balloons, fade to black.Two more thumbnails, sequential. 

Fade in across the page, a young ganondorf snaps awake suddenly.  He pushes himself up in bed, almost certain he heard something.   He grabs his sword and shield-- and bursts out bellowing "GO ON, GET!" Startling two boars.
He slashes at them, but only to frighten them off.  He doesn't give chase.  He looks to the mess, broken pots, spilled water, half eaten scraps that can't be saved.  It can't be helped. They were just hungry. "What a pain..."

The OC nonsense version. [Small write up of the scene in alt text] Co-Conspirators do a Regicide The corruption of the crown is a Hylian problem, and so a Hylian will be the one to solve it. You didn't expect to only sit and watch, did you?
It had all been quiet some time before she could hear again.  The lingering ring of her hoarse screaming had only just faded, and the sword still hummed from pummeling against the flagstone floor. The quiet felt close, as if the dark of room were a tangible, fuzzy thing.  Her conspirator clapped, politely. "Not bad," he said, "For your second-ever kill."

He was making fun of her.

"Though, you broke your sword."

"O-Oh."  The tip had been lost somewhere in the twenties or thirties of chops.  Whether on bone or the stone, she couldn't recall. "Oops," What could someone say, to that? That she'd looked foolish during a murder?  What else, then? That her grip was poor?  Clumsy footwork? Had she not reduced a man to pulp? What about this murder wasn't enough to meet his lofty standards!?

He approached from her blind spot, and placed a massive hand on her shoulder.  He approved. "That is normal." 

She anticipated a lesson on how to cut properly for the next time, but she couldn't stomach it. Wouldn't, even.  She laughed, thin and breathy. "That was more exhausting than I thought."  She tried to drop the blade, but found she couldn't command her own hand.  Slowly, details crept in.  Her arms ached, she shook as if being strummed like harp, her throat burned, the beautiful gift she wore would never come clean.  She could taste the mess, and felt it pinch her face as it dried.  The smell was...   

"I'm going to lay down," she croaked. That encroaching fuzzy darkness was now unbearably hot.  "Right now, actually."
