Description
asdgjkl; just one of the possible designsI have like, two more in my sketchbook but I didn't feel like grabbing it so I just...yeah.
Entry for DreamPuppeteer 's contest (( DESIGN CONTEST!!!!What for, you may ask?
For my fanfiction, The Clockwork Sage.
...Yeah. Specifically, for this person, here, the eponymous clockwork sage!
I have been doodling designs for this sage for some time. I'm gonna blame that on a mild art block I've got as well as why I haven't coughed up anything either.
You see, The Clockwork Sage takes place sometime after Spirit Tracks, and it's kinda an advanced era. Not TOO advanced...Closest era equivalent is the 1800's of our world, in a way, but ah...you know. Buildings are popping up more in New Hyrule, steam trains are everywhere now and a few extra tracks were made(although clearly not the spirit tracks themselves, though those are definitely still around), clocks have been made already(if I recall correctly, Majora's Mask was the only game with physical clocks). A lot of steam powered and clockwork things. It's hard to describe what I envision the place..haha...Closest I got for it is steampunk, but...not too much li ))
You might not see many "time" related things here but... Think about it. Time really is just a measurement for human convenience. So...isn't it possible for time to be manifested in practically anything and everything? This ref sheet is a manifestation of time, as were the screenshots of the Elysian Observatory that I drew inspiration from. (Time as in the amount of time Retro put into Metroid Prime 3)
So...let's start at the cloak. Dark, glow-y. Roman Numerals displayed in patterns. The staff? The clock-like spellcircle with numerals III, VI, IX and XII displayed. The blades can be used (or the shaft) as a sundial.
Sorry if you can't read my horrid handwriting in the pinkish red, there. I really dislike writing in SAI but I didn't switch to FireAlpaca.
And the background? Sorry I,...got a little carried away with my nebula brush.
