Roku, Skyward Knight
Series: The Legend of Zelda | Date Added: 2011-12-26 | Character(s): Roku
My ZOCC secret santa (ON TIME OMG YAY!), featuring Keaton's character Roku. I bin calling it "Skyward Knight". Keaton suggested a visual redesign of Roku for Skyward Sword! I don't know how well I actually hit the mark in the end, but maybe there are some elements that can be useful at least ^^ I thought he would still look like a knight of Skyloft, but a pretty fancy one by their standards. Maybe he founded a special order after what happens in SS? (I haven't seen the end yet, so no spoilers!)
Let's see... I changed the longcoat into a split sorta surcoat thing, because I thought that would be more convenient for riding. The chain shirt is basically taken from the other Skyloft knights, and I swapped out the straight mantle for one modelled after the ponchos everybody wears. I thought his bird would have an easier time without the cloak, so I gave him a pair of long pennants (to evoke the phoenix wings!) instead. Finally, I thought tucking his pants into the boots might work better while flying (I mean, hell, it's gotta get cold up there :p). Oh, and gloves so he doesn't ruin his hands holding onto a bird harness. Now he's all set to go flying! :p
I also tried my best to draw a shoebill, but birds and me don't get along so well XD Since Link's red birdie is supposed to be super-rare, I thought Roku's probably shouldn't be red, even though that's his colour; instead, I tried to make it distinctive by giving it extra long plumage that might look a bit like Roku's phoenix appearance.
Anyway Keaton, I hope you like it! :3
Merry Christmas! LOVE! <3
