Description What was your inspiration for this piece?
1. Legend of Zelda is one of my favorite game series of all time.
2. The prospect of recreating an oldschool baddie was too tempting to pass up.
3. General Onox is one of those badguys, you just love to hate.
4. Dragons are cool >:3

Why his "Dragon" form?
Originally, I'd wanted to just re-make his human form. but when researching other artwork done on him, it seemed no one ever bothered to re-create his dragon form.

What was the idea behind putting his human form into the jewel?
"People being put into jewels" is kind of a staple for any LoZ game tbh XD

lol, no but seriously?

I was applying a bit of logic to why "it" was the dragon forms "weakspot".
*(what bound General Onox to this realm was the spell that summoned him here, which manifested itself as his human form).

**In otherwords.. you didn't actually kill Onox, you just destroyed the "spell" that bound him here.

What was it like working on this piece?
Working on General Onox was fun and interesting. There were DEFINITELY a few times I had to pull my self back from taking too many liberties with his design (interpreting a nice medium from old gameboy graphics to full CG).

If you'd like to learn how I made Onox, feel free to check out my Zbrush tutorials on youtube. I'll try to do a full review of the processes I used for this piece. User=Requiemsvoid.

Zbrush mostly, though I used some photoshop in the final render to add some special effects.
**Like the red "mist" border and the strokes around the hearts.

If you're interested in learning Zbrush or looking at a behind the scenes, feel free
to check out my youtube channel.

**Years ago....

From what I remember, they were pretty good.

Yup and if you're interested in more than just the games.. there's also
a non-cannon (un-official) Manga of the "Oracles/Seasons" games.
