Description
facebook pageHere is my second fan art painting for The Legend of Zelda.
This took me around 20 hours. I've got also the process in the gallery.
I wanted to make a real quality painting like they used to do in the 19th century of Link with oil, like we have never seen link before.
A realistic Link portrait makes you think about how you think Link's personality at this age. I wanted to make a mature Link, but still young, someone who is "The Courage", with this innocent feel at the same time, and especially, I did NOT want to paint the perfect good looking manga style guy we used to see now (which I like too, don't get me wrong
I hope you like it
Please, feel free to like this page on facebook if you'd like to follow up my work

hehe, I was not sure about the scars at first, I hoped it gives something to the mature side of Link. as someone said below, it gives a post adventure look ^^

I love how realistic you made Link look. I like the details like freckles and the scars. This is such a change from seeing bishie (anime girly guy) Link!

Indeed ! Most of the time we see link as a manga looking androgine guy. which is cool though , that's why I tried to do a more old fashioned painting look. It gives something sacred to Link, as it should be, if it's a legend. (sorry if my english is dodgy)
And if it's a legend, that might exist in a past real life ^^
Thank you SuperHylian !
