Description A portrait I did of Zelda from Twilight Princess back in May. It's meant to be part of a three part group. I'm sure you can guess the other two, which are coming I really dug that they each had their own swords in the last game, and wanted to do something with that, which is the reason for the sword here. Also, tried out a more realistic style (I was not going for total realism of course) and working line-lessly, which I rarely attempt. Also I'll be selling this print at Otakon later this month.

I'm not sure that the colour is coming out very nicely, feels a little dingy. I don't want it to be super vibrant though, any comments on the overall colour would be much appreciated. And comments and Crits more than welcome. :}

I'm excited for Skyward Sword! Are you?

Stunning. The way you drew her face here really makes her look true to what her name means: female warrior. She's got that hard face much like Impa which gives her that tomboy look and warrior's zeal yet you also maintained her elegant nature.

Oh, thank you so much! Such a wonderful compliment I did want her to seem stronger yet still very graceful, glad it came across that way.

I have seen many different drawings and artworks of Zelda, and I have to say, this surpasses them all. I love the details and how the colours seem to compliment each other well. I can only imagine how long this took to perfect.

Oh my that is quite a compliment! Thank you kindly for such nice words Haha it did indeed take a really long time, probably longer than it should have really. I think it payed off however, so that makes it worth it

it was good. It's in the air whither I can afford to go to FanExpo this year. Lots of negative feedback from last year's fiasco. Doing alot with social media. Coaching people. The website itself is in desperate need of overhaul though.

Well, my first test prints of this came out really dark and muddy looking. And I have a pretty bright monitor so I'm worried it's not showing nicely for others hehe I'm happy to hear it's not dingy though Thank you!

Melissa08 In reply to sketchtastrophe [2011-07-16 12:12:54 +0000 UTC]

Lol, that makes a lot of sense actually. I have a Mac, and when I look at my art on other computers, everything looks darker.

fabulous! I really adore the plasticity of her face, you did a good job on the skin! Nice contrast, too for your first line-less piece!

Thanks HDC I'm glad the skin looks decent enough, it's so hard to paint. Especially Zelda McPaleface, I gave her quite a tan haha.

Thank you! The teal was mostly to represent the goddess of wisdom, I'm glad it compliments Zelda's design/outfit as well. Added bonus I guess :3
