Some 'B-Sides' of my Majora's Mask redesign project that I cleaned up.
These ones didn't fit the premise of redesigning the identical Hylian counterparts, but they were still characters that I wanted to experiment with, so here they are - Adult Kafei, the Giants, and a Mysterious Man ;)
If you're curious about the design process I talk about it here, freely viewable!

some folks liked Shock Jock from my silly vent comic, so I drew him again 🧐
Your Metroid art often features what looks like some kind of triangle or square based text, are you using a premade script or did you make it yourself? Either way it looks really good!
It's premade, not by me, based on text appearing in some of the games.
I believe most fans differentiate them as Thoha/Mawkin text, or at least Zebes/ZDR - for my design project I thought it would be interesting if it's more specifically the distinction between Scientist/Warrior. Hence you might see the Warrior text in some places in Thoha territory from their earlier days, such as the temple at the top of Chozodia.
Here they are, with links to the fonts:
This is the square font that appeared in Zero Mission (I think) - I'm using the one by Trudy5304, found here.
The triangular font first appeared in Dread - I'm using the one made by Clannadat, found here.
Thanks for asking! Had been meaning to highlight this at some point ^^
i made a friend at a gay bar because she had one of your Raised by Birds arts (one of the ones where Samus has a sword) and I recognized it immediately. She said she had found it in the wild so I was able to show her more of your stuff and then we got to talking about Metroid and stuff. So thank you for your wonderful art!!!
I'm picturing her just carrying it around on a huge canvas in the bar, haha
Sammy bringing people together all over the galaxy 🙏
Thank you for sharing, and happy Pride ^^
Who are Kreatz and Mauk?
They're characters from the Metroid manga (shown here beside my versions of them)
Kreatz is the little smug one and Mauk is the one who isn't Kreatz. They're part of the broader Galactic Federation - the games don't focus on the non-human factions these days (maybe Prime 4 does but I haven't played it yet). I like the two of them as a connection to the GF for Samus that doesn't directly involve interacting with humans, like a sort of protective 'barrier' for her. Of course there is also Malkovich and Higgs etc but there's more emotional baggage with that side of things.
In the manga these two take some part in the mission to Zebes. I prefer that it's a lone mission for Samus but I still think they're cool characters in the broader lore.
Hey, I keep seeing your 3rd Law animations and obviously, they all rule and are super cool, but now I am wondering if there is more to them? Is there a world, characters, lore, a magic system? It love to learn more about this stuff!
Thank you glad that you like them!
It was originally conceived as a means to practice some animation, but I have developed some aspects of the lore and broader characters/story. The general set-up as implied by those short scenes is this sci-fi character appears in a medieval setting and is mistaken for a Mage. Her 'powers' are focused around manipulation of physics, but she soon realises there is something limiting her full abilities on this world.
How does her presence alter the course of the conflict, and what happens when she witnesses 'true' magic?
It's both cool and kind of strange to see people hyped by it, as it wasn't ever meant to be much more than these small glimpses - but I suppose I won't try to fight it developing into a cohesive story if that is its fate. We'll see!
Appreciate the curiosity, keep an eye out :)
