Description
Two years ago or soemthing I decided to make some doodles of all the dungeons in Ocarina of Time. I sketched the first three but finished none of them. So a while ago I decided to redo it. Mostly because I want to become more brave with my watercolours.So first out is the Deku tree. While it's probably the shortest and easiest dungeon in Zelda history, it does have a kinda spooky atmousphere. And after all, it was the first Zelda dungeon I ever played. I was nine years old. And Ghoma was a giant in my eyes (I seriously thought I would never defeat her).
Wanna see the other temples? They are right here.

This is a really original way of drawing the dungeons and Gohma's eye is really haunting in this image.
Even though its encased inside the branches, the inside you've managed to give a sense of large scale.

I'm sure Link's bit creeped out in there. 
Faving!

IF you actually listen to the music from it. ''Inside the Deku Tree'' it sounds like the tree is all dead and rotten on the inside because of Ghoma. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYAqkl…

I have a weak spot for borders in illustrations. Glad you like them too.

Oooh...... love that texture on the wood. And Gohma's eye sticks out very nicely too, quite threatening!

As threatening as the real Ghoma! ... when you fought against her for the first time when you were like 8. xP Glad you like it.

when I was a kid, I was super scared of the boss, I pleaded to my brother to play for me just to beat it caused it scared me so baddly. I am scared of spiders so even playing this game again makes me scared

First time I played this, I paused every few seconds just to reel in my terror. Hahaha. But then I beat it and it wasn't that hard. ^_^

Oh man, you are wonderful at watercolours.
The frame looks so wonderful, and Gohma's eye is just terrifying. ;_;
Brilliant!

Then I achieved what I wanted to. Gohma scared me so much when I first played this game. xD

I love this! It looks like it could be a little collectable model. I've always liked the look of watercolour, and I've even tryed dabbling with it myself. Very hard to use though! I think I might have another try...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, you totally should! Watercolurs are hard, and to be honest I don't think I'm very good at them either. xD But it's still fun. And thanks a lot, it's alwaysa nice to hear that!

You're welcome!
I've still got my old watercolour paints lying around somewhere; you've persuaded me to give it another shot! Cheers!

Too much work, but thanks anyway.

Maybe. But I don't feel like it. :I Thanks for the tip though, I'll remember the site in case I would feel like using it sometime in the future.

I've been playing Zelda a lot lately, and this is just pure awesome. you have to colors done perfectly, it looks just how the inside of giant demi god tree should look. I think thats what I like most about this picture, is the way you colored the wood.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad you think so, I'm trying to capture the "right" atmosphere of each dungeon. C:
And thanks a lot. The wood is my favourite part too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you are going to do every dungeon? SWEEEET.
I wish I wasn't so self absorbed and unmotivated of late, Or I would try and take some aspect of the game and maybe do a series like that. maybe enemies or NPCs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it's what I aim for. Dunno if I'll manage. xP
Ah, well. Lack of motivation never feels good. I hope you snap out of it soon then.

You did fine with the CW OCT, some dungeons from Zelda going to be a cakewalk for you.
I drew a little something last night, because I NEED to get some stuff done. It's nothing much, just the start of a character sheet. I think I'll be okay.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But with CW I had much more pressure on me. xP Anyway, I'll try.
Cool! Maybe you should do that more often? Draw to get things done, I mean. Sometimes it's a good way to get motivation. c:

I've got 2 days to get a character sheet done, and a few pages of a comic
Procrastination initiates the ultimate form of motivation! The 3 days before deadline type of motivation. lmao.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Character sheet and comic, eh? Sounds like you're going to enter an OCT? Is that so? 8D
God, I hate that kind of motivation. It tears me apart. The week before the last deadline of CW ... I never want to go through that again.
But speaking of motivation, thanks for telling me I could finish this project. It motivated me to start with the Fire Temple today. C:

actually I'm going to be Judging in an OCT, we really need some more people to join. they will probably extend the audition period of we can get some more hype for it. and now that my internet is dead and I'm using my friends, I may have some major issues >.<
it is the fake and basically, you enter yourself as an artist, and you end up in the fake. there, you meet your OC, and they fight along side you.
I motivated you? YEY! I feel really happy that I've done so, I'm so glade my encouragment gets people places. keep up the great work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, that one? Is it still around? xD I kinda thought it had at least started already. Anyway, hope you get more competitors then. The idea around it is pretty fun so it would be a shame if it had to go to waste.
You totally did. It's turning out pretty nicely too. 8D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, you know, if they do end up extending the audition period, I'd love to see you work with it, if you had the time. you did just get done with one though, and yea.
and sweet, can't wait to see it, I bet it's going to look epic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, yes. I did just get done with one and honestly, I'd rather work with my own projects and stories right now. Can't even promise if I'll ever join an oct ever again.
yes, I hope it will be.

Me too. I ran around in there for like half an hour and had no idea what to do. I almost cried. :c

The first 3d spider is a classic.
The eye is extremely well placed and depicted (pupil ftw), plus a young spider over to the right. Speaking of that, falling eggs FFFFFFFFFFFF
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The falling eggs are probably even scarier than Ghoma herself. They still give me the creeps.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, first genuine scare I got in the game, come into the room and suddenly EGGS!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't run into the eggs in that room until the second or third time I played it. = P But they were just as creepy during the big fight.

Unless you nailed her with a seed, but that was annoying anyways.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. But it took years before I learned I could do that.
