Hero of Legend - Rito Version (inspired by Linked Universe design)Seriously hoping I can keep this little project going, because the process of redesigning Hylian characters as Rito is so, so much fun! Decided to tackle Legend’s redesign first for a number of reasons:1) A fun opportunity to play with color thanks to the species I chose. And a real challenge in complementary color schemes at that! Honestly I still don’t know if this is cohesive or if it clashes horribly. Both maybe? I do like it a lot actually. Even though it is also making my eyes burn just the tiniest bit. 2) Legend’s LU design has a lot of key features that don’t translate simply onto a Rito. Rings, hats, and boots either don’t work or don’t fit the overall style. So rings became bracelets, hats became bandanas, and boots became…pauldrons, I guess? Not sure if the term still applies when it’s feathers? (Also Ravio’s bracelet was originally on his upper arm for the sake of being more prominent, but then I realized BOTW Rito are never seen wearing anything on their arms aside from bandages. Because of course not! Surely any hinderance is bad for flight! So to the ankle it went.)3) Legend’s general facial features and expressions are probably one of the closer ones to Revali and Teba’s sort of angry looking bird thing, so it was a nice jumping off point while I agonized over figuring out how Rito anatomy even works. -- source link
