Description
A commission for . This is her Zelda OC, Danielle.I was specially requested to give Danielle a longing look. Afterall, she had no choice but to leave behind her beloved home of Hyrule Castle and to take sanctuary among the Gerudo.
I was given a lot of freedom with this particular commission, and was even allowed to create her Hylian-influenced Gerudo outfit from scratch and pick the colors myself. I thought a stormy desert sky would give a very fitting dramatic air.
Enjoy!

Thanks! The desert colors were actually inspired by old roadtrips my family used to take through the western deserts of the U.S. We used to call the little red cacti Deku Scrubs.

Ooh, this is gorgeous. ♥ The way you did the sand is top-notch. I think the overall color scheme is really effective and fits together quite nicely. Awesome job!

Thank you! ^^ Though honestly the only thing I did differently was use a dark shade of violet instead of my normal grey for shading. Amazing what a difference that makes, huh?

This is a beautiful piece! You definitely accomplished the look of longing in her face, infact you perfected it. And the wind swept sand in the background adds the right touch.

Fantastic. It's a measure of your skill that this reminded me of LoZ immediately.

o.o Allow me to take the time to pick my jaw off the floor. o.o For this being my first ever actually paid-by-me commission... wow, I'm just in complete and utter amazement o.o You really captured the look of longing for home on her face, and the outfit you made for her is absolutely amazing, far better than anything I could describe and design with mere words myself ^^ I think the stormy desert sky was a VERY good addition to set the scene of this. ^^ Man, this really has me pumped... Thankies, Niraven! ^^ *absolutely gleeful right now*

Thanks! But I couldn't have made that outfit for her if you hadn't sat with me and gone through Lord-knows how many color variations.
I'm really glad I was able to capture your words for you. Coming from writing myself, I know how hard it can be to convey a mind-image. And I'm glad to hear how pumped you are!
Thanks again for commissioning me!

XD Yeah, that was quite a number of those we went through... I need to clean them off of my netbook later XD I'm sorry I was having so much trouble figuring out a color scheme for the outfit, since I completely stink at realizing the deeper technique behind using colors and such... XD And yeah, it's DEFINITELY hard to convey mind-images... XD you can't describe every itty bitty detail in words cuz you don't know how to ^^ And you're welcome! I'm definitely glad you did, and if you take more I have a few more to possibly ask for to buy...
(since I got grades money and refund check is coming in soon XD)
