Description Princess Zelda Balcony - lineart

Description:
I kinda finished inking the lineart in one go - so no versions this time other than the first.

My WIP coloring progress can be found here .
Original sketch can be found here .

I like that I've moved away from the old boring static poses and try something new dynamic with perspective and so on. It's not perfect, there's things like her hand that bothers me, but not something I'm gonna do anything about now. Feel free to point out if you find something..

I'll color this ASAP.

FAQ:
Since people seem more or less interested in how I pulled this one off, I'll add a minor FAQ list that should explain more or less any relevant question about this piece.

Q: What tools did you use to draw this?
A: I mostly start my projects by drawing a sketch the traditional way with a normal random pencil on A4 paper. I didn't this time through. I was bored and started drawing a random sketch of Zelda in Photoshop at work. Ended up pretty decent so I decided to ink it up in in PS, this is the result. I got lazy with the details and long lines half way through, so some of them are pretty crappy drawn. I used a Wacom at work, and at home.

Q: Do you intend to color this?
A: Yes. It'll be colored some way along what I did to Princess Zelda TP v.07 . it's gonna be somewhat nice. I'm using new coloring techniques through, that should add more than one color tone to each item.

Q: How long did it take you to draw this?
A: The sketch took me 'bout 15 - 20 min. Inking it took me, well.. probably 2-4 hours. It's actually a pretty large drawing, so that should explain why it took me so long.

Q: Can I color this?
A: Yes, but ask me first. I'll most likely give you permission, but I'd also like to see the result.

Q: Can I use this?
A: No. Not without my permission. That is, don't put it up on your website without letting me know - no matter the reason.

Read the description..
If you're too lazy I can even explain it for you, even though you should know this by reading the description:
It's the uncolored version, the colored version is on my page, but it's a WIP.

Shouldn't be a problem - if you do please notify me when you upload and remember to credit me.
Oh, and also.. there's already a lot who's asked permission to color it who didn't anyway - if you really intend to color it, I would prefer that you did. It's kinda a let down when people don't do it anyway

man, your zeldas are turning out wonderful!!!

the hand doesn't bother me, i think it's very good.
what bothers me is the face outline near the left ear.. i don't think it should go all the way till it reaches the hair.
I think the ear should start more close to the eye, and maybe point to the side of the head.

but then again, it is absolutely beautiful!

You're very welcome!

Things I like most are her face, firstly, and the rich details on her dress, and she's got more to her, if you get me.

lthot In reply to Ryuu-Atrineas [2008-05-19 07:37:55 +0000 UTC]

Alrighty then.

The outcome of the face is way better than what I've done in my other Zelda pieces so far. It's not perfect, the eye positioning is off for example. I haven't started on the real detail work on the dress yet, actually - only the basics, like the ornaments. And lastly, I can't draw babes without forms.. that's just how it is.

Yeah, something like that. I don't remember if I always do that. But it happens from time to time.
