Description
One of my fondest Zelda memories is when my mom pulled me out of school the day Ocarina of Time was originally released just so I could spend the afternoon playing it. I even wore the pre-order t-shirt as I made my way through the Kokiri Forest for the first time.
Good times.
This is a print that made its debut at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2011. The reaction was much more positive than I expected.
It's one of those works that I wasn't sure how things would turn out the whole time I worked on it. I actually spent time on two other versions of the print before settling on this one:
Hope you like it.
How it was made...
Made in Photoshop CS5 Extended

Extreme good job! That reminds me each time when I try to do a Jumping Attack or a Thrust Attack with the Master Sword and Dark Link taunts you when he jumps on the blade of the Master Sword...

Thanks!
That's the exact moment I was going for.

Ah, I remember this fight. Took me weeks to beat him when I was younger. Though that could have probably been because of the amount of time I spent trying to backflip onto his sword, lol.
Anyway, you did a wonderful job!

Yeah, he wasn't a push-over. Made him all the more memorable, though.

Haha! I know! He was so hard to beat! But the end victory was all worth it! It was almost worth more to beat him than Ganon. XD Hahaha!

I personally think this is excellent work. The details, shading, and colors mesh well together and flows smoothly. I especially like the facials expressions and poses, great work
