Hello friends! Welcome to this week's Monday Spotlight, hosted by Mark's team! Let's get into our featured posts for this Monday!

_______________________________________

But quickly before that, let's first announce the winner of our most recent weekend challenge, Flower Crown! Let's turn it over to Ashia!

Hey guys! Ashia here to announce the winner of last week's Flower Crown challenge!

I got so many adorable entires and I loved seeing your flower crowns!

As a quick recap, here are all of the entries!

Zelda • Princess Zelda

Madoka • Zeldasona

Zant • TP Link

Gabby • Zeldasona

It was such a close call. I love all of your entries so much and they’re all so colorful but I have to choose one winner...

Congratulations to Zant with your TP Link entry!

I really loved the flowers and messages you chose! They match TP Link so well and they look super cool together! Even though you ran out of time to draw them, your flowers for Midna and Zant work so well for them and would make really interesting flower crowns!

A big thank you to all of the participants! I loved all of your entries and seeing all of the flowers!

The Light Dragon || Painting

Knight

Hello Amino 🤝

For this TMS I picked out some art I think looks amazing! I'm a huge fan of dragons so I had to get this blog!

One thing I love about it is the malice surrounding the Light Dragon. It feels so meaningful yet sad. I like how it surrounds her and it makes me feel like it's pulling her in. I also like the background with the floating ruins. I think you did awesome on those and they were executed very well!

Another thing I like about this is the dragon herself. The colors, the highlights, it just looks amazing. I like how she's trying to eat the stone but it feels like the malice is holding her back because of the tear. I also love how you can interpret it any way you want! I truly love how you did this!

Wonderful work on this painting!

Unfortunately Linked Events - Home Sweet Home

Kyabion

Hello hello! Today I chose a terrific post by Twi!

I love reading short stories, and this was no exception!

The story does a fantastic job at looking into Link's inner thoughts. I love how the writer emphasizes his discomfort, or unease, with everyone around him. Especially the part where he tries to relate to the villagers by wearing the familiar Ordon attire, only to find it doesn't really help.

Something I found especially interesting was the contrast between Renado's and Barnes' feelings toward him. While one was kind and welcoming the other was angry. Showing how Link really does walk the line between people loving him or resenting him. You can really feel Link's exhaustion and inner turmoil.

I absolutely loved reading this! I am definitely gonna go back and read/reread their older posts, and I suggest you check this one out!

Mark

Hello friends! My name is Mark, and I'm here today to share my pick for this week's Monday Spotlight!

Today, I've decided to share this artwork done by Marchium of their OC, Requí (aka Felix)! I just want to say I love the outfit design here, bro is COOKING with those flared sleeves OOOH! I also absolutely love the bright accents and patterns, they really tie the design together! Oddly enough, it kind of reminds me of a moth, or a butterfly, but I think it's a really cool design! I also loved being able to see the old drawings of him too, as it's always so interesting in my opinion to be able to compare old characters designs to the most recent! I can't wait to see where else Felix will go, and if you haven't taken the time to look at this piece, make sure to check it out! I'll see y'all next time, buh bye! :wave:
