Description
The singing of the trees was the first thing she ever remembered hearing. Their voices rose in unison as she climbed higher and higher into their branches, serenading her with a melody that she eventually learned to play for her fellow Kokiri.The Zelda Project is a Los Angeles, CA based group of friends who seek to bring to life the characters, settings, and overall feel of Ocarina of Time through photography and film. Our ultimate goal is to create the characters as they would appear in reality to the best of our abilities, placing them in beautiful sceneries true to their Hyrulean counterparts, and creating elaborate photosets, as well as a film short (coming once the cosplay segment of the project is completed!).
Saria Model: Alondra
Costume: Made by me

Makeup/Special FX: Joellen Elam *Lillyxandra
Prosthetics/Special FX: Dasha Bolotina
Visual Effects: Julia Starr `night-fate
Assistant Photographer/Lighting: Aimee AKA =SeptSky
Assistant Camera: Evan James
Location: California Coastal Redwoods

The jumper is made with 100% cotton sweater knit with a slight lurex spun in to give it just enough "fairy sparkle." The turtle neck is a 100% wool 5x3 rib knit. I hand dyed both the jumper fabric, and the turtle neck fabric to be the colors that I wanted.
As the Sage of Forest, Saria is likely the first born Kokiri, and closest to the trees as any of the others. She is the eldest, and most connected with nature, so I always figured that she could see their auras and hear them speak. It was a fun idea, to assume that it was their song that inspired the creation of "Saria's Song" in the first place.
This cosplay photo was a huge combined group effort that was a labor of love by friends and fans of the Legend of Zelda series. Combining all aspects of art from photography to visual effects, we wanted to bring the Legend of Zelda to life as best we could in a final presentation. So far this has been incredibly rewarding, and we hope that those of you who view our work are brought a little bit more into the world of Hyrule through our art.
A special thanks to everyone who has helped us get this far! Without all of your support and kindness we wouldn't have been able to make this happen. We only hope that with what we produce, a smile is put on your face!

It's nice, but the lil lady is kinda...
Too shoped.
Her skin lacks texture, doesn't look natural, or human at all.

The girl is adorable! I've seen people on more than one of your Zelda pics complain about the photo editing making the faces look too "plastic" but I want to say that I really like the way it's done. It doesn't look plastic at all, it looks more fantasy-like and I think it really connects the pictures to the video games

Adella In reply to LimeGreenBunny [2010-09-24 07:26:39 +0000 UTC]
There's actually very very VERY little editing on her face. Personally I did not touch her face and neither did the retoucher, so if there is anything going on in this particular picture it may be from the development of the photo itself. The lighting is extremely good on this shot and the girl is 9 years old and has absolutely flawless skin. I've actually complained about a couple of the pics to the photographer and he showed me the originals and they were in fact extremely close to the way they looked when I complained about the processing. Shows how much I know XD
