Description
Huzzah I finally did my image for 's round 3 of Link's Blacklist.... like three days from the deadline. XD For those of you who don't know, Link's Blacklist is a community project to draw every monster from every Zelda game. www.game-art-hq.com/links-blac⦠(I believe it's invite only now though, but I may be wrong. Well, at least you have to get accepted to do an image at first, and then you get invited back if they like you. XD) My previous round monsters were the Wind Waker Darknut for round 1-> and the Poes from Ocarina of Time for round 2->For round 3 I decided to pick a more obscure Zelda enemy: The Doomraddle from The Adventure of Link. And oh my gosh, that decision has been biting me in the butt ever since I picked it. >_< I was originally going to do the Garo Robe from Majora's Mask, but decided it was too similar looking to the Poes, and went with the Doomraddle instead. And if you don't know what the original design looks like, here you go- zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Doomraddl⦠Look at that guy, in all his 80's game design glory.
I was thinking "Oh it shouldn't be too hard to make this guy cool right?" I was so wrong. So very wrong. OTL I've been trying to do an image of this monster since the round began a couple months ago and it has just been eluding me for so long now. I didn't want to do a cute version of Doomraddle, but it just kept coming out cutesy and fluffy.

I think you made him look pretty awesome, even if you had to fight with it. I love his teeth, they look so good!Β

Hey yo, you might have missed out something here. LIGHT SOURCE. where is your light source?
i see luminance on the chain. but i don't see the light source, it Link the light? is the light source
in between link and the monster? i see luminance in two direction, the glow on shield is on left and
chain on the right so i presume the light source is at the center? SHADOW, you don't have any shadows?
the darker areas "areas where light don't hit the skin(Shadow)" of the monster can be darken more.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not here to attack your work. It looks great other the few loose ends XD
consider it as artist helping one another keep up the good work!

There was never a light source specified in the image as the lighting was purely designed for the benefit of viewer- making it simpler to view the segments of the image. A soft, "instance" based lighting scheme if you will.Β The point of the image was to give a clear feature of the monster. As such, it seemed impractical to burden the image with overly dark shadows, despite the fact that in a true cave the lighting would be much more dramatic. Please don't assume that I would make such a mistake in my art as to forget how light and shadow works, and consider instead that I may have designed my light and shadow with a specific intent. Thank you.

I never actually played this game! I think we bought it as kids, as the first zelda wasn't really mine or my brother's favorite game when it came out. We liked it of course, but we had more fun playing games like megaman and kirby as little kids.Β Actually, the first zelda game I can remember my brother begging and pleading my parents to buy when it came out was Ocarina of Time. Oh my gosh, he begged for it soooooo bad. XD

There's not much to know about him. It was just this weird little foofy looking red guy that you fought in some early game dungeons that hurled spiked maces at you. XD

hehe it was meant as a joke anyway
LB will make a pause till next year btwΒ but there will be Link's Friendlist about the good guys
LB will return with a focus on the first 3 games next year with the goal to get all the monsters and bosses of them together in 3-4 months. After that it continues with the next 3 games, if that works well, we have a giant gallery with all the evil creatures somewhen in 2015

Reinhold-Hoffmann In reply to Turtle-Arts [2013-08-28 09:10:02 +0000 UTC]
naah, there are lots of people already interested in Links Friendlist but the claiming of the spots will as usual start on a day after the current Zelda Project is published on Game-Art-HQ.com
btw, maybe add the link to LB www.game-art-hq.com/links-blac⦠i bet its in your own interest that more people know about that gallery there on the site and can read the additional infos about the characters you drew for it
I will probably invite 10-15 artists like i did in LBIII from which i know that they are interested and also artists i can trust that they are fully motivated and create outstanding pieces

You did really well highlighting the monsters girth by having the cave and formations rotate around him. ALso you did a unique thing having Link there look completely taken by surprise and still recovering instead of leaping to fight like most artist do (not that there's anything wrong with that mind you).Β
I know the frustration of having a menacing creature you want coming out cute and fluffy (or in my case retarded looking).
By the way finished the draft horse hippogriffe, I'm proud of it but its still a little derpy looking. More reason to improve my skill and you have inspired to keep on doing it by your encouragement and humor!
Thank you!

Turtle-Arts In reply to True-InTha-Blue [2013-08-28 01:38:34 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I wanted to put Link in at least one of my round entries, but since this project is about the monsters it didn't seem right to have Link actually looking heroic, you know? XD
And good luck with that draft hippogriff man... draftogriff... hippodraft. lol.
