Dragon + Astor =Drastor?

Hey @unsanctitude​ and @octavosnumberonefan​ , I have your stinky rat dragon man thing! Hope you like him.

Merry Christmas from Brennenburg!

Bebe Xander wishes you all a safe holiday from the warmth of his stocking.

I noticed a dragon in the new TotK trailer. I’m excited to fight it! 

Ol’ Xander showing off.

Wonder if he’s trying to catch the eye of a certain Englishman.

Lovely work by Litato of the buff alien Baron!

commission for @katzedrache ! her alien design of Alexander! c:

Ok so like if the argument is “Rauru questionable”… why? Why is he questionable? Because he’s powerful?

Ganondorf attacked him and he responded with restrained self defense. Ganondorf lobbed thinly veiled insults at him and his mixed race marriage in his own home, and Rauru responded with patient diplomacy.

One of the points made in the “Hyrule is imperialist” comments is the assumption that Rauru inviting Ganondorf and the Gerudo to join his kingdom basically amounted to a threat… except that’s really obviously not the case?

Rauru didn’t conquer them even after they attacked him. He didn’t conquer anybody. None of the other lands are under Hylian control. They all have their own leadership. They all manage their own resources. In BotW King Dorephan refers to Hylians as the Zora’s allies… not their masters.

Rauru established an alliance, not an empire.

People are concerned, saying “I hate how the other races are subservient to Hylians” except… they’re not. They don’t follow the royal family of Hyrule unquestioningly.

To get help from the other people, Zelda still had to make diplomacy trips and convince them to aid her. Convince them. Not command them. They’re loyal to her because she shows them the respect they deserve and is dedicated to caring for and protecting everyone. She’s not entitled to rule like Ganondorf thinks he is, people follow her because she’s a good leader and it seems to be the same with Rauru. He shared his immense power with others and sacrificed himself to protect everyone from being subjugated by Ganondorf.

Reading Rauru or Zelda as imperialist or Hyrule as an oppressive empire requires ignoring practically all of the canon text and projecting a number of things. So… why do people keep pushing that extremely shallow reading?

Call Nintendo out on its bullshit, by all means! The series has improved over the years because people voiced their legitimate concerns in the past. I just think this whole “imperialist propaganda” argument is completely off base and I really wish the people saying this stuff would pay more attention to the deliberate efforts Nintendo’s made to diversify the Hyrule royal family and the world of Hyrule at large.

“No I don’t wanna leave!” Anyone relating to baby Xander at the moment?

I’ve been trying to figure out how to draw Alexander to reflect his character properly, and I think I finally managed to come up with something that satisfies me. Also I miiight have found myself liking this loose, sketchy sort of art style - it doesn’t take as much time, and it leaves more room for expression. Also I’ve been practicing anatomy, so posting more full body drawings in the future is not out of the question 😄

Headcanon of Alexander’s true form.
