The Dish Twas Fish

Hook, line and swimmer

Said the sailor seated ashore

For the bait out flung deep

Did pull like fate’s damned tour

Twas a free floater

Twas a clam unchained

Twas health and hale

Twas–now, never the same

Yet while it was

So valiant it flopped

Though beyond the mare

Its strives ner did stop

Yet Fisher hearty did

with heave and hoe

Reeled the line stiff

Yankin the piscine foe

So to shore sent

Flew the fry to be gutted

Suspended as flame lent

Savory succulence encrusted

Hook, line and dinner

Remarked Fisher belly rotund

Twas ere a tasty delight

Twas–now, barely a burp resound

Sneaking in the Twilight

As promised, let’s check out them shoes!

So for the shadow beast’ headdress, I already did a post on how it was made:

So after finishing the shadow, I began the general form:

Details, details,  and more details:

Originally, I was going for a darker tone, but I switched it up for Twilight glow blues on white/gray:

Just a few finishing touches:

Midsummer’s Knight

So we’ve gone through the burly Moblin and stylin’ hipster Stalfos–let’s complete this trifecta with the greatest warrior of them all, the Darknut.

 

This brother will mess you up.

 

Daddy Darkness knows this well as quite often Darknuts are a mid-dungeon boss, which is only surpassed by the late game trial of trying to beat three at the same time:

But this brother also knows how to chill, knocking back a green potion while overseeing a colossal wallet of Rupees for Ganon.

Though Darknuts tend to be heavily armored as seen in my pictures  A Link to the Red, Black, and Blue, So Crest Darkness in its Prime, Hark, the Night Crest Dark, and Anytime, anytime, I’m Waiting . .  ., this brother is off duty chilling, wearing the flyest gear.

Let’s start with those sneakers:

These are the limited edition Twili Shadows by Fae Footwear. There will be another post detailing their creation, so we’ll move up and cover the rest of the brother’s gear, starting with the rupee bag:

As Ganon’s fiercest fighter, this brother maintains a “Sun out, Guns out” mentality and physique with lit tatoos:

The chain he is stunting has the only important triangle of the Triforce–power, as wisdom and courage are for wimpy elf-like teens:

As a knight, he has a Knight Crest emblazoned belt to hold up his fashionable purple Lorulean Tunic:

And finally the brother by himself:

That concludes our trilogy of Ganon Gentlemen, chilling and relaxing in between sessions of Link beatdowns. But stay tuned for more as we explore the rest of the things that went into making this picture.

Still Stalfos Stylin’

So last week, we focussed on the Moblin in “Take this L, Link!”–now it’s time to give the undead baller his due:

When he is not scaring the life out of the player’s green-clad avatar, he can be seen delivering a mean swing at the exclusive Hyrule Plain’s Club:

Using this as a base I began:

Since he’s been around for a long time, Ganon has entrusted him with the keys, the Big Boss Key, specifically:

As former pirate on the Hyrule’s Great Sea, our man knows how to rock a doo rag so I upgraded him with the very hip Vaati Eye X Skulls Edition Do-Rag–in purple, of course:

Baller status require baller shades–with Triforce emblazoned, of course!

Just a couple finishing touches with the Ghirahim inspired diamond hoodie and a familar scarf to complete the essential hipster undead look:

Now here is the hipster baller alone in all his undead apparel:

And next week, we’ll go through the last of the trill trio of Ganon’s Gentlemen!

By July’s Jewels–or Rupees!

Over a couple posts, we’ll go through how this project came together.

Today, we’ll focus on the Moblin:

This wasn’t my first foray into depicting Ganon’s burly pig/dog henchmen:

So I started with this as a base:

The shorts were crucial–Ganon’s Gentleman got to be sportin’ the flyest stuff, so I hooked the Moblin up with some Din’s fire inspired basketball shorts.

Between giving Link multiple beatdowns in Forsaken Fortress, this Moblin knows how to stay cool with the limited edition Sheikah Eye emblazoned cap–isn’t that a breath of fresh air?

And those symbols on his cap are not just gibberish but actually mean something–it’s a secret but here is a clue:

Now here is the brother alone in all his fresh apparel:

Tune in–uh, click back here next week for the next installment of Ganon’s Gentlemen!
