Finished up Ganondorf in the ukiyo-e style! Since he's often depicted as heavily armored or hulking in general, I wanted to put him in full samurai armor, and give him the jinbaori (overcoat) to emphasize his stature. However, I didn't want to mask his face with a helmet, so I came up with the idea of fashioning his face design to resemble the menpo masks seen on kabuto (samurai helmets). I took a lot of inspiration from his look in Hyrule Warriors; I liked the long hair, so I decided to mimic kabuki wigs. The horse's armor takes inspiration from both real samurai horse armor and the steed's design aesthetic in Ocarina of Time. I had a lot of fun with this one, hope you like it! Prints available here .
