Description Beast Ganon, a la Ocarina of Time's last boss. Pretty menacing fellow, wouldn't you say?

I don't think I have ever seen fan art of this incarnation of Ganon before, so I'm glad I put this up. Take in the full view for the details!

This image was done for the Nintendo of Canada Commish pic. Out of all the characters in that image, I think it's safe to say Ganon here took the most time to illustrate. And now, I hope I never have to illustrate him fully again.

I think I got some details wrong on the back, but I couldn't find a reliable resource for that. Gotta make do for what we're given, right?

Well holy mother of awesome, Batman! A VERY well rendered illustration of Ganon! This incarnation of the Triforce of Power wielder was my favorite, as it kept some of the boar or pig-like attributes, but made him more beast-like. The dual-swords was also awesome, and how they vaguely resemble the Trident his other incarnations use. You have a remarkable way of rendering monsters, so seeing you take a crack at him is pretty awesome! About my only concern is that his hair/dreadlockes seem a little wonky, but overall, this is a very successful illustration and a dynamic pose; as if you just rolled around him to get to his tail with the hammer or Biggoron's Sword but he catches you trying!

Nicely done, JetZero!

Thank you very much or the comments, OM! The 'caught rolling' thing is what I was going for. Glad you were able to place it!

As for those hair... Things on Ganon, I was looking at the official art of this form for the details, and I swear they actually look like that, just not as shaded and hair-like. I thought making them look more like drifting hair would make him look more uniform and beastial, but if I didn't quite get that look that's certainly welcome critique. Thank you for your opinion.

Hmm... Maybe I just haven't seen the official artwork then. Oh well. I'll take your word for it. Still, nicely done.

Happy I could make you happy. It took me a few tries before I could get the battle down too.

Holy cow...

It's rare finding fanart of this guy with a good face. If it's too demonic, it doesn't look like Ganon, just a standard demon. Too pig-like, and you can't take it seriously. I think you succeeded in finding that balance. Incredible work here.

Thank you very much! Ganon here was a hoot to draw, and just rolled off my pencil like he wanted to be drawn. I guess I got lucky.
