Description
This is an update of an older deviation of mine. I wasn't sure how well this update would be received, so I decided to submit a new deviation.The color scheme is more european compared to the original I guess. There are still things wrong with it, but I like the overall atmosphere much better. And I think the lighting is much more consistent in this version.
Thanks again for your critiques!

I love this so much. Would you mind if I used it as a background for a cover of the Song of Storms on youtube? (With full credit, of course.) It's just so beautiful. c:

That is amazing, but is it just me, or has Link got an Assasin's Creed hidden blade?

ErikShoemaker In reply to JRCBROOLZ [2012-09-05 16:38:26 +0000 UTC]
the blade is at his belt, and the other hand is carrying the ocarina, or what do you mean?

I remember when GameCube was published they also announced a Zelda game with realistic graphics and the trailer was really badass. Short time later they came up with Wind Waker though

pandacastro In reply to ErikShoemaker [2012-05-05 05:00:39 +0000 UTC]
LOL I heard about that but didn't care since I love wind walker. Maybe they'll make one for wii u with those kind of graphics.

This is great work here, and I just HAD to leave a comment. I originally saw it posted through reddit via this [link] ... But thought I'd definitely be serving the artist behind it justice by leaving a comment letting you know how completely superb I think this is! So superb, it's becoming my new desktop wallpaper. Thank you so much, keep up the stellar work! β₯

ErikShoemaker In reply to KalosChampionSerena [2012-04-29 11:06:50 +0000 UTC]
ha! Thanks for pointing our to me where it was featured. I received a lot of comments and didn't know where they came from. I had to laugh at some of the comments over there, although I must agree most of it was true and Link's position on the horse is indeed a little weird.
Thank you for commenting, I appreciate it! And I'm glad you like it!

Is this photo manip or digital painting?

ErikShoemaker In reply to prollygon [2012-04-29 10:58:40 +0000 UTC]
it is a mix of both actually, but I mostly used photos to create this. Anyway, I take it as a compliment that you cannot see the difference.

thank you, I appreciate it Unfortunately it is not allowed to sell fanart related prints, and besides I'm afraid the resolution is not good enough.

If the design teams behind the Zelda games hired you as their lead concept artist and their next game looked like this, I would buy it in a heartbeat! Seriously man, a zelda game that looks like this will definitely compete with Skyrim imo. Get on this man, please!
