Pre-Model Concept Art | Morel (FULL/UNCROPPED) (Patreon)
Content
This is the final pre-model concept art for the Kokiria forest residents. She's named after the eatable fungi, Morel. She's actually inspired by one of the beta Kokiri from Ocarina of Time that never made it into the final game. You can find her beta head model here: https://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Unused_Actors_%26_Objects
This character's actually replacing Orchid's "brother", who can also be seen for a moment in the Zelda UO 2 remake episode in the background. It's the shot of them all looking up immediately before the fight between Link and Mido. It didn't make sense to me for Orchid to have a brother, since the Kokiri all come from the forest and aren't related through different blood lines like people are. So I replace him altogether with a different character.
