I can't stop drawing. : D I like when that happens. Anyway, my last pic for syccas's warriors contest is another Legend of Zelda one--I had decided from the beginning to make them all LoZ. I wanted to play with different colored light in this one, so I did the whole Phantom Ganon fight from Windwaker. (Yes, I used the OOT style Link--I don't like Toon Link lol but he has Windwaker Weapons at least.) I really liked playing with the pink and blue light, trying to make the shadows complement the unusual colors. Ganon is also not exact, but my own take on WW Phantom Ganon.

The idea that popped into m mind here was that Link has one fairy left--he's injured and exhausted, and he thinks he has a moment where he can let the fairy loose to heal him. Phantom Ganon appears. Link, caught off-guard, his stressed mind trying to react in time to save himself further injury, thinks simultaneously "heal" and "attack"--he drops the bottle and grabs the fairy, intending to hurl it at his enemy!

The fairy is accordingly confused.

At least he'll get healed before the magic bolt hits him.

Here is the contest:

CONTEST: Warriors! - first entries and new prizesThe Contest
Badass, butt-kicking, name-taking, blood-spitting, not-down-backing MALE AND FEMALE warriors and fighters.
Dynamic action poses are preferred, but I will accept more mellow images as long as the WARRIOR aspect is portrayed accurately and interestingly.
There are four subcategories, by popular demand each comes with a selection of 7 fitting stock photos to choose from
BUT you are allowed to pick your own reference from my whole gallery.
The "Warriors" folder is newly organized by type of weapon used to help navigation.
Please scroll down to see the categories, example stock photos, contest entries + the full set of rules as well as prizes available.

1. Masters of the Blade
Warriors that use conventional weapons such as swords, axes, knives, daggers, etc - spears and staves are also allowed. This is the "every other weapon" category (it just didn't sound quite as cool with "masters of every other weapon")

The stock I used for this are:

for Link, though considerably smaller...

and for Phantom Ganon

for texture of the stone

Edit: I made Link's right arm a bit longer and it looks much better. Thanks, EnHeart !
