Gabbro's Cyclone Dance ::) I Found Some New Brushes And Have Been ITCHING To Put Them To Work! I'm Extremely

The Legend of Outer Wilds - Gabbro's Secret

Oooh there's the big reveal! I don't have very defined scenes in mind for this AU, since I meant it to be left open for others to imagine stories with it, but Gabbro's big reveal is one of the rare scenes I had in mind for a while. Since Gabbro's design for TLOOW was very much inspired by Zelda villains, like Skull Kid and Ghirahim, I also wanted to make their presence more threatening, without making it a straight-up villain. But making them a little unstable without any reason didn't feel right for me. So I gave them a reason. I decided that they would be in the loop first instead of Hatchling. With their flying bug going rogue, they can barely leave the island. They solitude got to them, and when they got the occasion, the brought Hatchy into this! They will interact again! I will draw the second part one day, if I got time!

them!!! <3 i find it funny that gabbro is like a whole head taller than hatchy

My friend is playing outerwilds blind and I periodically ask her to share what she's found with me and I give her small tips on what to do and where to go next and I feel like when you go talk to the other travelers about the new things you've discovered, is this what Gabbro feels like in game?

Just realised the eye podcast quartet all have the main ship being eldritch god x their cute bf

TMA Jon and Martin are literally just that

WTNV Cecil is some kind radio being I think

Malevolent John is a fractured piece of an elder god and Arthur is literally just SOME GUY

HFTHW Nikignik and Malomar are both ends at the same time and I love em both

how do you expect me to take them seriously when they're just silly birds who probably like head scratches

HIT EM LIKE THIS!

Bonus doodle too

Small fantasy worldbuilding elements you might want to think about:

A currency that isn’t gold-standard/having gold be as valuable as tin

A currency that runs entirely on a perishable resource, like cocoa beans

A clock that isn’t 24-hours

More or less than four seasons/seasons other than the ones we know

Fantastical weather patterns like irregular cloud formations, iridescent rain

Multiple moons/no moon

Planetary rings

A northern lights effect, but near the equator

Roads that aren’t brown or grey/black, like San Juan’s blue bricks

Jewelry beyond precious gems and metals

Marriage signifiers other than wedding bands

The husband taking the wife's name / newlyweds inventing a new surname upon marriage

No concept of virginity or bastardry

More than 2 genders/no concept of gender

Monotheism, but not creationism

Gods that don’t look like people

Domesticated pets that aren’t re-skinned dogs and cats

Some normalized supernatural element that has nothing to do with the plot

Magical communication that isn’t Fantasy Zoom

“Books” that aren’t bound or scrolls

A nonverbal means of communicating, like sign language

A race of people who are obligate carnivores/ vegetarians/ vegans/ pescatarians (not religious, biological imperative)

I’ve done about half of these myself in one WIP or another and a little detail here or there goes a long way in reminding the audience that this isn’t Kansas anymore.

Sailing the great... River?

The prompt was Rafting.

[ID: Fanart of the game Outer Wilds, representing a Stranger's inhabitant on a raft, in a similar artstyle to that of The Legend of Zelda : the Wind Waker's official artworks. They are holding a lantern while wind is blowing at their cloak. End ID.]
