The Minish Cap: Sparrowhawk Cloak

 Sparrowhawk Cloak

Roc’s Cape: This cape allows Link to jump up to high ledges or over small obstacles and to glide over larger gaps and obstacles. He must enter the Palace of the Winds to earn this wonderful cloak.

A wise wizard who was fond of traveling in the form of a sparrowhawk wove a spell into this cloak to ensure he would never again be trapped in the form of a bird. When worn during a transformation, the cloak becomes a minor annoyance buried deep among the feathers that forces the wizard to return to their true shape when removed. If the wizard were to again lose themself in the form of the bird, they would eventually groom away this annoyance and be forced back into their true self.

Ursula K. Le Guin is one of my favorite,e authors and the Earthsea books are some of my favorite books. The wizard Sparrowhawk is a deep and interesting character who grows and matures into a thought-provoking figure. If you haven’t read Ursula K. Le Guin, do so now!

I appreciated getting to draw the cape from Wind Waker since the visual style was consistent between Wind Waker and Minish Cap.

Four Swords: An iconic pair of wings from Four Swords.

 An iconic pair of wings from Four Swords.

Roc’s Cape: With this cape, a Link is able to jump higher and soar over wide gaps. This ability is especially helpful in the high canopies of the Sea of Trees and the dizzying heights of Vaati’s palace.

The Winged Cavalry is famous for two things, the false wings each member wears and the brutal effectiveness of the troops in an all out charge. This private cavalry corps has decided the fate of many conflicts, usually in favor of whoever offered the largest purse. In areas whose fate has been changed by the cavalry, individuals wearing the iconic wings are either hailed as heroes or denounced as villains.

----------

These wings took a ton of work to set up and the end outcome was on the good end of okay. That is a tough part of drawing all the time with the eye to improve. I imagined these differently but appreciate them for where they ended up.

Be excellent to everyone.

I'm not an artist: Five items from A Link to the Past once owned by a monster hunter

Here are five items from A Link to the Past, each with an adventure seed connecting to a monster hunter.

Magic Cape: An invisibility cloak found buried in a grave. 

Vicentix De Leon was a famously successful monster hunter that disappeared suddenly after a very public disagreement with the Cagliostro family. Vicentix often said much of their success was due to their cloak of disappearance. Rumors said the cloak was cut from death’s own robes and it has been passed down the De Leon family for generations. With the disappearance of Vicentix, most assume the cloak will never be passed to a future generation.

For their safety, robes are provided to apprentice necromancers that hide their presence from mindless undead. These robes are woven with silken strands infused with necrotic energy that masks the apprentice’s vital life force. Without these robes, many apprentice necromancers would not survive the initial training.
