Description
My entry for the Legend of Zelda-Link's Blacklist tribute from Game Arts-HQ [link]Koloktos is a boss from Skyward sword wich is guarding the Ancient Cistern dungeon. Otherwise deactived is Ghiraim who brings the massive contraption back to life with his cursed magic one last time in order to defeat Link.
This animated armor has two distinctive forms. The first being the one as I depicted above! After Link with his trusty whip defeats the monster pulling his arms off, the automaton will reunite all his parts and pull himself out of the ground chasing Link with 6 huge swords!
I can tell you that this boss became one of my favourites and made me appreciate the wiimotion plus very much. The moment that I though to sweep the legs of Koloktos my body just reacted like I was using a real sword and it worked!It really worked! It was definitely one of many amazing moments that I had with this game!
As usual I used a regular 2 HB pencil on a white A3 paper, black ink pens for the tracing and coloured it on photoshop.It took me a couple days I guess.
Please enjoy!

Love it! I'd like to see you do another image with this same perspective, but with Koloktos missing one side's worth of arms and the holding their swords and bearing down on Link, who's blocking them with one of Koloktos's swords. Koloktos would be dented up and Link would be all bloody as the battle moves into its final stage!
Great job, love all the detail work on the ancient autonomaton!

This was my favourite boss and you've captured the scale and terror so, so well. I love how the whip is working its way around him and how high up the ceiling seems to go. Link looks very small and alone hidden in amongst Koloktos' armour. AWWWESOME <3

This boss reminds me of a robotic statue titan that Sonic/Eggman had to face in Sonic Adventure 2.
Anyways, good art here.

Yeah! Koloktos face creeped me out for sure, on the first time I fought him!
But I was shocked when he pulled himself out of the ground and came after me! ^_^

I personally thought Skward Sword was a big disipointment (I still love it though)
Though this guy was the 2nd best part!
