So here's my Zelda piece, based around Ocarina-era Link lifting the Master's Sword from its pedestal and being transported to the future. I was originally going to go full-color on this one, but realized with a few tweaks I could get that 'Temple lighting'. Although this was a rather quick piece, full of self-criticisms and bothersome mistakes, I was very happy with how the Master's Sword itself came out, glimmering and glowing with power.

(note: this piece went through several color-variants, from a full-color cartoonish look, to blue-heavy mood lighting, and even pure sepia. The final product is a combination of those variants.)
