the village chief

i recently bought jessica julius and maggie malone’s the art of moana, and it was such a beautiful and enjoyable read! i was inspired to draw moana again; this is how i imagine an older moana would look as the village chief of motunui.

i decided to marry parts of the designs of both motunui villagers (such as tattoos) and their voyaging ancestors (such as fresh vegetation) for moana’s village chief look, also making sure to use a lot of red, which is the color of royalty, and to throw in whale teeth into her necklace, which only royalty would be allowed to wear. the story of moana, after all, is about how moana found and defined her identity when she set out to fulfill her ancestors’ quest and how she connected herself and her people to their ancestry in doing so.

I’ve been wondering why if Ganon can be reborn as a Gerudo, Zelda and Link can’t also be! Or be born as any other race in Hyrule, for that matter. (I know, I know, Zelda has “Hyrule Royal Family Lineage” going on, but what’s Link’s excuse??)

​i kno only one male every 100 years is the gerudo thing but it’d be a sick plot twist if Link and Ganon were twins or something

Or maybe just because Fate and Magic, another male gerudo is born and it causes a huge stir around the land and everyone wonders what it means.

Like “it’s only been 20 years since Gannon was born what’s going on here!” And Gannon is filled with jealousy and rage and plots to cast out the “usurper”

Or Link and Gannon become FRIENDS and their inevitable rivalry is a huge heartbreaking storyline
