The Minish Cap: The Black Cauldron

 The Black Cauldron

Water Element: The third element Link recovers is found in the Minish-sized Temple of Droplets. Link must defeat the relatively titanic Big Octorok, probably a regular-sized Octorok, to win this element. Link infuses this third element into the White Sword to improve the White Sword’s abilities, most importantly allowing Link to split into three copies of himself.

The nascent Wight King had been secretly raiding graveyards and battlefields to gather enough bodies to create a skeletal horde. Each body must be boiled in the evil cauldron for a night and a day before it rises in undeath as Cauldron Born, soullessly obeying the will of the cauldron’s master. After years of quietly defaming the land’s dead, the Wight King has announced themself to the world at the head of a vast skeletal army poised to conquer and pillage.

----------

The Chronicles of Prydain were not on my radar as a kid at all. I was actually a fairly reluctant reader as a kid, having issues with focus and restlessness. The series did inspire one of my favorite movies as a kid, the impeccably strange The Black Cauldron, which inspired today’s drawings. I recently read through the whole Prydain series as an adult and enjoyed it. I look forward to reading it out loud to my little one when they are a bit older.

I am still winding down from Drewly 2025 this year. I’ve got two more Drewly related posts I want to get out into the world before I slow back down to about one post a week sharing my item cards projects.

Everything I shared for Drewly 2025.

I finished all of this long before July. Nothing new for Drewly, but it was great to share work that was just lying around, finished and ignored

I don’t love everything in there, but I am proud of myself for the number of things I have actually finished. I look upon my works and I am inspired to keep creating.

Drewly: Fate cutting shears

 Fate cutting shears

Fate cutting shears: These small scissors were forged by an anonymous benefactor as a gift to a child destined to be sacrificed. They are sharp enough to cut through even the strands of fate. Clipping their tether to the sacrifice, the child became a fateless hero, able to steer their own way across the fabric of destiny.

Today is the last day of drewly. A month-long celebration of everything we’ve been able to make. Thank you so much for sharing the month with me and my work.

Now that we are done looking back at what we have made, go out and make something new! Everyone has the potential to create inside of them, nurture that spark by making what you want to see more of in the world.

Drewly: Spoon Wand

 Spoon Wand

Spoon: In the hands of most, this is a simple spoon. In the hands of the vengeful, this spoon is a discrete implement of punishment that can cast fear and ill fortune on the wicked.

Today’s drewly post is one of nine domestic wands I imagined a simple mage might use in their everyday life.

Drewly: Fork of Horrible Madness

 Fork of Horrible Madness

Fork of Horrible Madness: Just holding this simple-looking fork makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. It almost whispers to you, but that would be crazy, It's just a fork.

Drewly is inspired by the Fork of Horripilation, a cursed artifact of a mad god.

Horripilation means when your hair stands up on end.

Drewly: Kitchen Knife

 Kitchen Knife

Kitchen Knife: Mamma Cassi runs her crew out of her kitchen and she is never seen without one of her big knives. Most people think the knives are just for adding a general sense of danger, and they are, but they are also Mamma's wands. Mamma Cassi is both an accomplished crime boss and a member of a secret coven of witches, both of which require minions and sacrifices.

My wands project continues, and drewly is where a lot of those wands get shared.

The Minish Cap: Haunted Candelabra

 Haunted Candelabra

Fire Element: Atop Mount Crenel, deep in the Cave of Flames, the Fire Element is guarded by a turtle dragon that Link must defeat. After defeating the beast, Link can take the Earth and Fire elements to the Elemental Sanctuary and begin the reforging of the Picori blade. With two elements, the newly dubbed white sword has the power to split Link into two copies.

This candelabra was recovered from a supposedly haunted manor. According to local gossip, the lord of the manor was cursed, and so were all of his unfortunate servants. The candelabra is certainly a curio, as its candles never burn lower, and it has a habit of tipping towards beautiful women.

----------

Lumier is a surprisingly lecherous character for a kids' movie. I guess that is probably a problematic stereotype of the French manifesting in children's media.

If you are worried about Lumier being lonely, Cogsworth is going to eventually show up in this set, so he will just have to be patient.

Drewly today is my normal weekly item card post, where I post drawings inspired by all the items in all the Zelda games. I am currently posting the items from The Minish Cap. I’ve got complete sets for the first 11 Zelda games and a bunch of other item sets already posted here.

Drewly: Oroborous Industries Shotgun

 Oroborous Industries Shotgun

Shotgun: Oroborous Industries is your premier source for firearms you can rely on. Sure, you could buy from Marrow Arms or even an unaffiliated gunsmith, but why risk your safety?

If you are saying to yourself, that symbol looks like something from Fullmetal Alchemist, you are right. I was drawing these two items while watching anime.

Drewly: Oroborous Industries Badge

Oroborous Industries Badge

Badge: An official Oroborous Industries operative badge. Just flashing this badge can open many doors in very dangerous circles.

Oroborous Industries is one of two rival gunsmithing companies in my homebrew campaign. Today and tomorrow’s drewly post will be relating to those shady gun runners.

Drewly: Flask of distilled sunlight

 Flask of distilled sunlight

Flask of distilled sunlight: Distilled sunlight is being pumped directly into the corporeal form of a vampiric bat god to keep it in a catatonic state so that blasphemous vampire researchers can use the god’s blood to make super soldiers. 

Sometimes I take an item card that is already published and alter it slightly to better fit my campaign. Drewly is a great time to share those slight changes without feeling like I am cheating on a weekly post.

 Tin Foil Hat

Drewly: Third Eye Lens

 Third Eye Lens

Third Eye Lens: When a person looks through all three of these lens they can peer into different planes, dimensions, and realities. The arrangement of lenses, down to the most minute distance, determines where you are able to perceive.

Drewly today is an item I gave my players so that they could see Chulhu and other eldritch horrors were out there and could be a problem in the future. Hopefully, the cults trying to attract their attention fail.

Drewly: Pearl of the Sirens

 Pearl of the Sirens

Pearl of the Sirens: Fashioned by a sea seductress who didn’t want to immediately drown and devour their victims. This necklace allows drylanders to survive beneath the water for as long as the seductress wishes.

We have been going strong with drewly for three entire weeks!

For a random one-off item drawing for my homebrew Pathfinder game, I am very happy with how this turned out.

The Minish Cap: A Seeing Stone

 A Seeing Stone

Earth Element: To reforge the Picori blade and revive its power to seal away evil, Link must gather the four elemental essences. The Earth Element is guarded by the Big Green Chuchu in Minish Cap’s first dungeon, Deepwood Shrine. Link must wait until he has earned two of the four elements before he can begin the reforging process.

In a crazed display of foolishness, a spiderlike fae tossed this seeing stone in her fire, thinking it destroyed. A fire far greater than a witch’s hearth is needed to shatter such a potent artifact of natural power. The brave young girl escaped The Beldam’s web, but should another young victim find themself in the sinister fae’s domain, a potent artifact awaits them in the hearth’s cold ashes.

----------

It was deeply disheartening to hear of the sexual assault allegations against Neil Gaiman. It sucks that there is always this sword of Damocles hanging above important and influential male figures.
