Nostalgia --------------------------------------
Ah! My part of the collab is done I guess
People: '................what collab?!'
End of April my friend *emmil and I decided to do a collab together. I would do the lineart, and she would color it!
People could suggest their favourite characters. Later we made a poll with the characters who were mentioned the most. A week later it was clear Zelda & Link got most of the votes, so... here you go!
Nostalgia
------------------------------
So I took away Zelda's sword (yeah, she didn't like that) and made her hold hands with Link. Changed both the faces so they have a bit of my own 'style'.
Now the thing is... Link's pose was the same, but the arms look so much different. I had to make up the arms so... that's the reason why the hands look off.
... I hope you can fix this problem while coloring this baby.
------------------------------
Enough rambling. Hope you like the lineart so far.
Took me approx 5 to 6 hours, lol!
Drawn on white Pergamos Skizzenblok A4 size paper with HB 0.5mm mechanical pencil.
Steps of the coloring of this fine digital painting, done by *emmil :
Nostalgia - WIP I
Nostalgia - WIP II

Okay I will say they look slightly small.
BUT....They are very awesome hands, I love her fingers, they're so slim and pretty. (and yes I mean that)
Her dress is beautiful. And I love the expression on Link's face!
Wowness! It just looks bloody awesome, and I cant wait to see the finished product!

About the hands: they have to look a bit bigger and they have a little space between them. You need to put them together a bit more.

hmm you might be right!
Gah I think Emmil will fix it xD

Waaaahh!
This is going to be so awesome when it's done ^_^
*waits in anticipation*
I didn't notice anything wrong with the hand until I started reading other peoples comments... But I kinda stared at it for a really long time and realised that it only looks weird because it's a lineart and probably hard to tell the difference between the two hands at this point...
If that makes sense...
Anyway, my point is, it'll be fine once it's colored! There's nothing wrong with your drawing xD

lol I put it in the description
5 to 6 hours, ugh!
Well as always I did use reference images, but it was so hard to draw some things differently. It was a great challange, that's for sure

Not saying a word. XD (dun worry; proportions kill everybody from time to time)
I can definately tell there will be a lot of detail in this. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Very cool~ I would barely have to patience to do those designs
on Zelda's dress. Awesome work. Can't wait to see your friend
color it

This picture is brilliant! Your artwork is so..... clean! Lol. I mean it's all... clean! XP
My only suggestion is that since the two are holding hands, perhaps you should make them look more relaxed instead of stiff. The girl (I don't know the names, I don't play or watch or read or whatever Zelda XP) seems to be from a separate image. However, besides that non-drawing related suggestion, this is gorgeous.

Hands are very difficult to draw, which is why I always draw them as fists. Cheating it may be but it works.
Nice job, it shall be added to my favorites.
