Zelda Osamu Dezaki screenshot redraws.

I am an admirer of Osamu Dezaki's art style. I made a mock screenshot of my OC in his style. Then I thought, what if I did that for my favourite series ever, The Legend of Zelda? I love to imagine a Zelda anime in his style. Well, I ended up drawing three of them.

Note: A lot of people are making ghibli style or whatever choice style art using AI and I'd like to say: F*CK them and F*CK AI. This is the first time I use this kind of language on my blog and I'm sorry if it upsets you, but!!! It has to be said! If you want something from your imagination to become reality you need to make it yourself. Actually APPLY that imagination of yours into hard work and the results will be so worth it. Drawing these takes a lot of time and effort, and it's worth it. People need to understand that they gotta enjoy the process! Nothing is more valuable than what is created by our own human hands. If you want something to exist in this world, then you need to take the time to learn how to do it. You can't take shortcuts all the time. And to that, here are some WIP shots and a speedpaint under the cut.

For all of these, I start by sketching on paper. It's easier for me to find forms this way.

Afterwards, I draw over a photo of the sketch on CSP

Followed by blocking in colours. Afterwards I do shading and post-processing.

Here is a speedpaint:

Here are some screenshots from various Osamu Dezaki animes. He's a great inspiration for me. I'm sure many of you have watched at least one of his works, which include Rose of Versailles, Lupin the 3rd, Black Jack, Treasure Island, Ashita no Joe, and the list goes on.

behold, the first anime Neanderthal. I just really wanted to see my Neanderthal character (Junar) looking like he came out of an 80s/90s anime. I can draw so I have the power to make it become reality >:) hehe process images under the cut.

Drew it on paper first, because I always find my forms much better that way.

Re-drew it on CSP then coloured

After the final image I added some blur and noise effect.

Some old portrait studies I really like

Old but gold. 💖

This was our very first build of Schala and Magus back in 2013. We had just started really committing to cosplay as a hobby and I decided it was finally time to build them. When the photographer asked us to pose I had no idea what to do other than drop to the floor. This was taken on the carpet in front of a table full of boffers and remembering the way people's faces lit up leaves me with a smile. To think that B.C. made this out of how dreadful those builds were warms my heart. I'm glad we could give him an editing project to enjoy. Looking back on these cosplays, I call them dreadful but I'm actually very fond of them still and will always carry the joy they gave me in my heart.

Photographer and glorious editor and true artist: B.C. Valdez.

Cosplayers are my husband and I: Sword and Sorcery Cosplay.
