Description Notice any difference between this picture and other LoZ art in my gallery? Yeah, this one's not cell shaded!!!
Tell you why, I was experimenting with the smudge tool in Photoshop CS4 and went totally nuts!!!
The result is this and I am so @#%$ happy!!!

In The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, the downthrust is one of the attacks learned from the Blade Brothers. Link can use this attack when equipped with the Roc's Cape and Sword. I find this attack kinda hard to use, because the enemy always end up too far to be hit by the time the sword reaches the ground XD

Mechanical pencil, Microsoft Paint, Photoshop CS4

Link, Ezlo and Octorok by Nintendo

This looks really awesome, even if it's not cell shaded! You've got a knack for drawing Link so amazingly!!

I've been practicing on trying to draw Toon Link! It is very hard! But luckily I have an official Nintendo How to Draw Link Guide. :3

I miss the Minish Cap so much!
The Roc's Cape was also one of my favourite items, it's like the only item in the series that lets you jump.

Hey, you're still awake? I think it's nearly 22:00, you have to sleep! (just joking around)
Sure, I can imagine that this wasn't easy to do...and I even don't have Photoshop!
