Drewly 2026: A Waxy Wand

 A Waxy Wand

Candle Wand: This unassuming candle burns endlessly and can be lit or extinguished with a mere thought. The bookish mage that keeps this as their wand knows that there are more traditional ways of using magic to illuminate reading rooms, but they loathe the unnatural glow of witchlight.

The Minish Cap: Happy Birthday to you

 Happy Birthday to you

Red Kinstone: Kinstones are found broken and fusing matched pairs of kinstones with the people Link meets on his journey unlocks boons, treasure, and new places to explore. Fusing red kinstones often changes something about the world. A person is inspired, a pathway opens, or a treasure appears somewhere else.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Haaaappy birthday to *insert name of loved one here*

Happy birthday to you

----------

My Kinstone drawings are mostly things to make wishes as wishing is such a core part of fairy tales. 

My older kid loves these drawings more than almost any other that I have made because they can play blowing birthday candles out and then they magically relight. Their love for these makes these drawings some of my favorites from this set.

If you can do anything creative. Share it with your kids early, they will be impressed and tell everyone about your amazing skills.

The Minish Cap: A sick dragon skull

 A sick dragon skull

Big Bomb Bag: These bags increase Link’s ability to carry bombs each time he obtains a new bag. One can be purchased, one is given by a fairy, and the third is a reward for fusing kinstones. If Link gets all three, he can carry 99 bombs to break cracked walls or boulders.

Getting a text from your friend that says, “we found a sick dragon skull” should mean they found a wicked cool skull, but you are friends with a thaumapaleontologists. They have been excavating a draconic grave pit filled with remains that show clear signs of severe illness. Such a find could rewrite the common understanding that dragons are impervious to all but the most heroic attacks, or it could reveal proof of a truly legendary plague lost to time.

----------

That right there is a Skyrim dragon skull. I am proud at how well drawing that from reference went.

ICE’s “draw down from MN” has just moved ICE agents to smaller communities in MN that have less resources to organize, leaving their residents more at risk.

Holiday: A cozy fireplace

A cozy fireplace

Fireplace: A cozy fire to relax around on a Yuletide night.

One of my favorite things to do during the winter holiday season is to throw on a Yule log or fireplace video on the TV and enjoy the fireplace vibes while not actually having a fireplace.

I also like to do a little holiday drawing, and this one was late because I’m finally in a place where I’d rather focus on enjoying the actual holiday with my loved ones than hide away and wait for the storm of Christmas to pass.

Happy winter holiday if you celebrate any of them. See you Sunday for the last new item Sunday of the year.

Jackie Chan Adventures: Dragon Talisman

Dragon Talisman

Dragon Talisman: The power of the dragon is dominion over flame. With this talisman, one can breathe fire, throw fireballs, and control flames.

The Twelve Talismans each hold a power that once belonged to one of the original noble animals that were immortalized in the Chinese zodiac. A demonic sorcerer stole the powers for himself and used them to rule over ancient China. His rule was ended by a master chi wizard who sealed the demon’s spirit in a statue and cast the twelve powers into stone talismans to be scattered across the world.

I loved Jackie Chan adventures as a kid. I haven’t returned to it as an adult, but I have never forgotten the zodiac talismans or the shadow khan masks. I can now say I’ve collected all twelve talismans, and I’ll be sharing them with you over the coming days. 

You can download the complete set of talismans here (pay what you want) or here ($3).

You can also get a sticker of your favorite talisman here.

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 is the month-long art challenge for July, where you don’t have to make any new art. Just post art you’ve already made and celebrate all you’ve accomplished.

The Minish Cap: The girl’s matchstick

 The girl’s matchstick

Flame Lantern: Link finds the flame lantern in the Temple of the Droplets after beating the big blue chu chu. The lantern casts a warm light in a short radius that illuminates the darkness, melts ice, and ignites flammable materials. 

The matchstick became a symbol for change in the city when a young matchstick seller was found dead on the street after a frigid night. The masses were always angry that the elites hoarded their wealth, but their anger became a fury after the story of the fallen matchstick girl spread. The fires of revolution have taken hold in the city, and no one what will become of the city when the smoke finally clears.

---------

The Matchstick Girl is one of the more depressing folk tales you can ever hear. It is made worse when you realize the story could be set today without much adjustment.

Do some good into this world.

Four Swords Adventures: Alchemist’s Fire

 Alchemist’s Fire

Red Royal Jewel: The third royal jewel needed to open the way to the Palace of Winds is guarded by a bone knight in the Desert of Doubt. Defeating the knight is the only way to recover the jewel.

These delicate pots of alchemist's fire have revolutionized the safety of the incendiary devices industry. These pots must be primed before they will self-ignite. Gone are the days of spontaneous detonation during storage or transit. At least that is what the Guild of Arsonists claims.

----------

A guild dedicated to flammable devices seems ridiculous but so does an organized thieves guild that has total interoperability between all major cities of a country. Go with it because it's cool and figure out how to make it work once it is running.

Swordtember: Greenflame Blade

 Greenflame Blade

Greenflame Blade: This sword has been cursed with obscurity. Once an infamous blade, now entirely forgotten.

----------

Swordtember is a month-long art challenge themed around swords. I don't have a full month of new drawings in me, but I do have swords that I haven't posted, so I might as well just post some finished swords that haven't seen the light of day.

Four Swords Adventures: Light leech lamp

 Light leech lamp

 

 

 

Lamp: Lamps are pedestal items in Four Swords Adventures which means they can be used by any Link that picks them up for the duration of the stage they are found on. Lamps shed light, illuminating darkness, and can be swung to start fires and light torches.

This simple-looking lantern burns no oil. Instead, it slowly drinks up light and shadow when not in use. Opening the lens, the lantern sheds the stored light to see in the dark or the stored shadow for some controlled discretion.

----------

Drewly has come and gone once again. I always enjoy sharing a big chunk of art all at once.

I’m returning to my regular weekly posts of new item cards, so see you next week with another item from Four Swords Adventures.

Drewly: Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros

 Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros

Sulfuras: This mighty flaming warhammer is the personal weapon of the Elemental Lord of Flame. With the mighty warhammer in hand, the Firelord sought to take over the mortal plane, expanding their empire and upending the delicate balance of the elemental powers once and for all.

Drewly 25th has another vanilla WoW staple legendary. This hammer was a slough to get, not in the least bit because the materials needed to craft it were dropped in a 40-person raid. The fact that there was ever a time when 40 people could get on the same schedule and coordinate themselves to accomplish something in a video game stretches believability.

What is Drewly?

There are three rules:

-Only post art you have already made.

Drewly: Rune of Igni

 Rune of Igni

Igni Runestone: Inscribed with a glyph of Igni, this runestone allows a Witcher to create larger and hotter flames with the Igni sign.

Drewly 15th is going to get me some well actually’s from Witcher fans. I know Igni isn’t on any runestones in Witcher 3, but I was more interested in a drawing for as many signs as I could rather than making game-accurate item cards.
