Description It's done!! A request for

Here's Dark Link fighting Link in the Water Temple. Dark Link appears to have the upper hand but we all know who'll win!

Water is a damn pain to draw! But I don't think it looks too bad

I always loved this battle and had been meaing to draw it for a long time. So thanks Falchion1984 for giving me the motivation to draw it and helping me realise I have nowhere near enough Legend of Zelda drawings in my gallery! Hope you like it!

Wow thanks!! I'm glad your search came to an end on my picture. I try to put as much detail in as I can with pencils, I'm no good at digital art. Once again thanks very much!

When you think about it... Link cheated in that battle since it was 2 vs 1. lol. Navi, who represents Light in a way, and Link, who represents Time in a way, vs. Dark Link, who represents Shadow and Water in a way. I guess it might be fair after all... Hmm... idk.

Falchion1984 [2008-02-24 04:20:04 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure what there is to say that my fellow reviewers have not said already. You have outdone yourself. The detail you put into this, the folds of the fabric, the trickles of sweat, the sparks flying from the clashing blades and the way the water ripples, is increadible. The pose and the expression, and the trickle of blood from Link's lips, also fit the pic very well. And, nice job on making Dark Link look evil. Red eyes, who doesn't like that on a demonci clone? Off hand, I really can't think of any criticisms to make. I almost criticized the water since it looked gray but then I remembered that the ceiling of the room where you fight Dark Link has an overcast cloud look and the water might be reflecting that. Anyhow, thanks ever so much for doing this and my compliments on a nigh flawless job. Catch you later.

GraphiteFalcon In reply to Falchion1984 [2008-02-24 07:35:14 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I'm so glad you like it! I'm glad you saw all the little details as well. They way I thought it Link would be a little beaten up at this stage even if it wasn't from Dark Link considering he'd been through half a temple to get there! Yeah I just remember the water being a little gray, and the ceiling and floor were a gray rock so I figured the water would take that tone. Again I'm glad you like it and I had fun drawing this one.

Falchion1984 In reply to GraphiteFalcon [2008-02-24 07:54:45 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm even glader that it went so well. By the look of the reviews, I'm far from being the only one impressed. Yeah, having Link coming into the fight battered makes sense. OoT is amongst my favorite Zelda games but I'm hooked on TP so your notion didn't occur to me. Anyhow, I hope that you'll keep me in mind if you ever find yourself with nothing to do. There are other ideas on my list and I'm confident that you'd do great with them if you so chose. Thanks again and catch you later.

GraphiteFalcon In reply to Falchion1984 [2008-02-24 09:37:44 +0000 UTC]

Yes it does seem that this drawing is quite a hit! You've got some great ideas for drawings so I'll be sure to keep you in mnd if ever I'm stumped for ideas.

Thank you. Out of curiosity, should I send me ideas via a Note so that you'll have them when you need them or would you rather call me first? Well, thanks again and catch you later.

I'll let you know when I need some ideas and you can send me them then, I think that will work best.
