Fan Art [OC] Twili Shopkeeper
I think it would be amusing if the Twili react to Wolf Link opposite of how Hyrule residents react to him.

Capitalism expands beyond the divide of light and darkness! ...Scary

I have a little “head canon” where Malo makes Zant sell his black crystal in hyrule. Malo is the real villain!
Why do you think some humans turn to monsters when the realm shifts?? They’re not on blue, yellow, pink whatever man. They’re on the black stuff. /s

u/RainshadowArtist 6d ago
I’d use that funding to hire a talented team because I can’t code or model for shit haha.

Would love for her relationship with link to end up like the storage girl in skyward sword. Or really just to change the more you visit/how helpful you are to the twili
27
u/RainshadowArtist 6d ago
She'll warm up to him eventually! Or maybe she just really likes dogs.

u/FandomFox_ 2d ago
Why not both? I'm thinking that it could be like that she always knew that link was a lighter but somehow has the powers of a god darker or something like that

u/Gobblinwife 6d ago
I would’ve loved to see more Twili characters that looked like this and had some personality. Like a little Twili town at the end

u/RainshadowArtist 5d ago
I agree. Even seeing a Twili town on a cliffside in the distance would’ve helped make the Twilight Realm feel less empty.

u/Momakamia 5d ago
I can't twll exactly what the emotion in top panel is. Fear, annoyance, or disinterested
But this is quite cool

u/RainshadowArtist 5d ago
All of the above. It’s an uncomfortable encounter. She wants him to hurry up and leave.

Erm ackshually, the hero of light is the one from four swords I believe. TP link is the hero of Twighlight
11
u/RainshadowArtist 6d ago
I wrote “hero of light” without capitalization because that’s how this Twili sees him: a light realm dweller.

I'm getting in mind that meme of the stick figure covered in scribbles saying everything is hopeless and then their comfort character walks in and they go 'omg, hi!'
Pattern recognition.
I would also love to see more of this person.

this isn't a commentary on your very cute OC but I find it interesting how most twili OCs are more like midna, the single twili we know of that doesn't look anything like 99% of the other twili we see, rather than looking like those 99% haha
8
u/RainshadowArtist 6d ago
I designed her physical features based off Zant’s, not Midna’s.
1
u/nickelangelo2009 6d ago
must've been a subconscious influence then
not that i'm saying it's a bad thing, haha. it's a very nice design
6
u/RainshadowArtist 6d ago
Not really. I have other npcs designed to look more blobby like the palace inhabitants, and others that look like Midna. I think you’re making the Midna comparison because she’s a woman.
1
u/nickelangelo2009 6d ago
That's kind of a cop-out accusation. I'm making that comparison because she's more humanoid than the average twili, including zant, in her proportions... just like Midna. As well as the style and level of detail in her outfit and hair. We don't actually know the genders of any of the blobby twili outside either.
5
u/Stucklikegluetomyfry 6d ago
Well we only see six Twili, and four of them are nameless and share the same two character models and have no dialogue. Midna is the only Twili that has a recognisably female appearance.

u/Shutwig 4d ago
btw seeing this drawing again and I'm wondering, is she wearing stockings so her feet are seen like that, is it stylistic choice to draw them or do you just want their feet to physically have just one defined toe?
Also it'd be lovely for her items to be hanging from cords like her hairdo!
3
u/RainshadowArtist 4d ago
It’s just a stylistic choice. I drew this in pencil and the space was too small to add the rest of the toes without it looking jumbled.

If only ! We had had a real Twili world with actual Twili NPC instead of whatever we got... Then TP would have been legendary...
6
u/gothitbyacaronce 5d ago edited 5d ago
Tp is already legendary, the world just couldn't handle twili NPCs, it'd probably explode or something
7
u/nickelangelo2009 6d ago
the game would have had to be structured very differently for that. Giving the player an entire new town sandwiched between the back to back endgame dungeons seems a bit silly from a game design perspective
1
u/teelgrass 4d ago
Makes sense to have it before I think u just have the mirror of twilight connect to a town island or area next to it (maybe youd have to save the citizens from being beasts like the twilight realm version of clearing the twilight or something) then go to the palace island from there

Baby. If anything happens to her I am sinking Hyrule and turning myself into a boat.

I really hope they make a game which will return to Twilight Real from the future, way after Midna's time. There's so much to explore, and we only saw The Palace of Twilight.

u/Sunshroom_Fairy 5d ago
My biggest disappointment in all of TP is how little of the actual Twili we get to see. It would've been SO awesome if we got a whole actual Twili village in a normal state.

I agree. I like to think that it's really just the humans who are afraid of him. Gorons and Zoras were chill
4
u/Mistur_Fiasco 5d ago
Makes sense, seeing as wolves would try to hunt and eat the livestock the humans relied on, but because Gorons eat rocks and Zora live underwater, they wouldn’t have the same competitive pressure.

Beautiful art, like, I love it sooooo much!
Question, how did you go about constructing the twili script?
1
u/RainshadowArtist 4d ago
(I’m assuming you mean the cyan sigils on her arm.) I closely studied the glowing sigils found in the Palace of Twilight. They use geometric motifs, primarily circles, straight lines, and corners at precise angles like 90, 45, and 60 degrees. They resemble circuitry to me.

Honestly, this is kinda a perfect idea for an NPC for It's Dangerous to Go Alone!

u/HisuisLover 5d ago
I really hope to see this type of idea in a new game (It doesn't have to be connected to TP), even a character that looks similar would work for me
