AU list
I make a lot of Legend of Zelda AUs for fun. More info/art on each AU can be found on my instagram/tumblr/twitter. Here's a short list though, to get started!Hyrule University #hyruleuniversityAU
Link goes to university with his childhood friend Zelda, and studies Archaeology. Along the way, he meets new friends, uncovers magical ancient artifacts, and fights for student rights against a bigoted old professor. He also acquires 2 new shirts, bringing his total shirt inventory up to 3.
Based on Skyward Sword, with some crossover with Twilight Princess and BOTW
Biker Link #deLINKquent
It's literally just Link as a greaser and his Ancient Bike. That's it.
Wuxia Link
Chinese modern-day Link is a reserved and quiet wushu/martial arts instructor at a small academy. One day, he meets a mysterious woman (modern Zelda lol) at a tea shop, and it triggers a series of dreams about his ancient past life... as a bodyguard in the royal court of Princess Zelda. This is just me dumping every wuxia trope I like into a Link/Zelda AU ahaha
Link x Animal Crossing
Link visits the getaway island for a week. Then it is time for him to return to Hyrule.

faq
Can I use your art as my profile icon?
Yes, if you credit me in your social media profile description somewhere, as @peevishpants (twitter) or @itscoolguylink (instagram). Also, I'd prefer if you not use any of my personal works for your profile picture. Fanart and shitposts and stuff are fine to use, it's just weird if you use a picture of Yan (my OC) as a display picture.What tools do you use?
Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop. Display Tablet.What brushes do you use?
I will release my own brushes sometime, but generally it's just some combo of chiseled tip + colour jitter + texture + watercolour edge for most things, or stamp-like brushs for vegetation, buildings, and fish!
I also recently started using Kyle Webster's brush pack, mainly the sumi-e and palette knife brushes.Will you draw X?
Sorry, I don't take requests! I do have commissions open if you'd like a specific character or scene illustrated.Any tips on drawing XYZ?
I'm open to answering questions about art or process that you may have! Just please be specific so I can form an answer that isn't just "get good" haha. I get a lot of "how do you draw good" and really have no idea how to answer that.
I also do make tutorials from time to time. Check out my links page for some!Can I make a physical version of something you designed?
I often get this about my fashion/outfit designs!
Yes, so long as you abide by these 3 rules:
1. Credit me (Weiwei twitter/tumblr @peevishpants or insta @itscoolguylink) as the creator of the design!
2. Don't make the physical item to be sold or for profit, please.
3. If you do end up making it, I'm begging you to send me photos bc my god i would LOVE to see it!!! even if you personally think it comes out looking like shit or something i don't care the pics will hit me like a deep ocean current of love regardlessCan I draw fanart of your original characters, or characters from an AU you've created?
Of course you may! Just don't claim them as yours, but that's common courtesy - you wouldn't draw Zelda and call it your OC, right? Same applies here.
Also, part of why I enjoy making AUs is because I love when other people join in and expand the "universe" with their own ideas. It's open-source. It's free real estate. Join me in the sandbox or mind palace or whatever it manifests as, for you. That being said, if you do draw heavily on my AU designs or draw fanart of my OCs, PLEASE tag me as @itscoolguylink or @peevishpants if you share any content associated with the AU/OC online. I'd love to see your work, and a quick tag or mention is enough credit for me! ^v^OC: Original Character
AU: Alternate Universe
