Description I was supposed to draw something else completely, but meh... You know I never stick with the subject.

I know how everybody hates to see the game characters appear in the same picture with some random original character, right? But that happens more frequently with male characters, righ? So have A FEM COUPLE WTF!!1!

Haha, lol. Yeah. It is the beautiful Nabooru there, with my oc Giracas.
They are so similar that it makes me cry. They would be either arch enemies, best of friends or lovers. Nothing else. Ever. That's just not possible.

Truly. Random Nabs and OC rant coming ahead. Leave if you are uninterested.
(Giracas was first created by me to an old improvisation Zelda novel I wrote with bunch of random people. All the sages had an important role in it, and there were more than seven sages in it).
Nabs and Gira. Both adult women, very masculine yet feminine characters too. Both having a tragic past, one way or another and both banned from the ruling society one way or another. Both being a leaders of their race (with Nabs actually being the only one of the two who ever leads anything, since Gira is left unable to lead anyone, ever).
But since every coin has two sides, they do have their differences too.
Nabooru, being the Sage of Spirit and very self-conscious, Giracas in the other hand getting her sageness denied by gods (or denying it herself, that is left unclear), is very unstable and self-destructive, switching sides constantly and running away from responsibility.

Bleh. I should redesign Gira's 'real' outfit, the old one is hideous. Don't worry, neither of them ran around in dresses in the story, I just wanted to draw them all pretty and shiny!

Sketch ver if you are interested [link]

Pretty and shiny was a great way to go! I love how Greek their clothing looks. Very flowy and comfortable looking. Lovely details in every fold!

Everytime you draw the Nose, I want to give you a hug.

So is Giracas Hylian, then? -- since you're one of the few artists to actually give the Gerudo their normal racial traits, and she doesn't LOOK Gerudo, I'm curious.

kiesu In reply to rueyeet [2010-07-06 20:40:16 +0000 UTC]

Thee hee, nobody haven't guessed her race yet! And I'm not telling it before someone does. So keep on guessing!

Thank you!

rueyeet In reply to kiesu [2010-07-06 23:47:31 +0000 UTC]

Only folks I know of that have pointy ears and skin that pale in the games are Hylians or Terminians.

kiesu In reply to rueyeet [2010-07-07 10:51:09 +0000 UTC]

Well, I must admit, I don't actually know if the race has pointy ears really, but the clues from their environment suggests they would.

Hmmm. *looks up the biography*

Termina, huh? Maybe Garo? or Ikanan?

kiesu In reply to rueyeet [2010-07-07 21:35:58 +0000 UTC]

Damn, too easy for you. Yes, Ikanan. The orange hair might have been the best clue : P

rueyeet In reply to kiesu [2010-07-08 16:16:48 +0000 UTC]

Ooooh. Now I'm all curious how she's alive, when the rest of Ikana is cursed and dead!

actually it was that Ikana's the only "dry lands" in Termina.

Lol, I have a fic idea that would explain it. Would really love to write or make a comic about it, but... Yeah. I'm still such a slow artist that it'd just take ages to do. Boo!

rueyeet In reply to kiesu [2010-07-08 19:33:35 +0000 UTC]

Well, I can totally understand not wanting to give away all the good plot points in the bio! But I'd love to see your theories on Ikana, and how they compare to mine.

Well, perhaps some day I'll be brisk enough and publish my thoughts on that one way or another! I admit, my urge to tell is great, but my talent isn't quite ready for it yet. (or then I'm just being a perfectionist, I know that is my weak point)

rueyeet In reply to kiesu [2010-07-09 14:20:48 +0000 UTC]

Perfect is the enemy of good; more than one person has never posted something because it never DID quite meet their standards.

You know, I've actually been waiting for a fem canon//OC couple to surface for quite a while. Heterosexual parings can be alright, but they are very much overdone. And men pairings make me role my eyes in that context for some reason. So I thank you for fulfilling a dream~

I can't help but to try and study the skin and hair. The lines are so clean and the shading so soft~ I love it <3

Well, you are very welcome, and thank you very much! I've kinda been itching to see some C/OC femcouples too, but truly seem to be very hard to find! Conclusion: If you cant find any, make some. Lol!
