A Master Study featuring Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. In which Link hangs out with the two Zeldas post-game (Who do you think became the Queen of Hyrule?)
This was a difficult piece, but I'm happy with it!
Based on 'The Chess Players' by Jacques-Clément Wagrez (1902)
Information on inspiration and process under the cut!
Original piece: "The Chess Players" by Jacques-Clément Wagrez (1846-1908).
The moment I saw this artwork I immediately thought of Zelda II. One of the women is wearing a medieval-esque red velvet dress, and she looks a lot like the design I made for the cursed princess Zelda!
I thought it would be very fitting to reimagine this artwork in a Zelda II context, so I went ahead with it! doubles as a master study and LoZ fanart.
I learnt a LOT from making this piece! Since I worked on it digitally, I got and made brushes that acted as close to traditional brushes, and I also worked on the entire piece in one layer. So whenever I made a mistake, I'd have to paint over. No return. But it was a big learning experience! Learnt more about rendering silk and velvet by observing how they are painted and blended in the original.
Here are some WIP shots! It took a long time to get to where it is now xD It was difficult to finally pen down the right proportions and placement. I probably should've done a grid copy, but I opted to just eyeing it out all the way through. It was... hard. (lesson learnt?)
I read that in a lot of older pieces, they are made in greyscale, then flat colours are overlaid on top. makes rendering much easier. and it truly has! I probably should’ve rendered the greyscale version even more. Since there were still a lot of mistakes that I had to rework and adjust while colouring.
Very fruitful experience overall, and I’m just happy to make a grand-scale Zelda II artwork xD I’ve never seen one so I made it!!!

Ok let's settle this. Is the Zelda 2 elevator thingy an advanced technology / shiekah-magicish type of thing or is it just a pulley system?

I drew all of the Links from the games that I've played so far :>
This was honestly such a pain but I managed to push through fghjjgj for some reason i decided to be very weird with the lineart i can't even explain it-
Also don't mind me trying to figure out how to like, sign my stuff i dunno
I didn't know wether i should start with him or with botw Link since my first game was tfh and not albw. But as you can see I decided to start with albw Link
Ik totk isn't out yet but I still put it here cuz why not. I'm so used to drawing this Link because he used to be one of the only characters I would draw for a really long time haha
I don't have anything to say about this one fgjzihhjk
This drawing has to be my least favorite of the bunch. For some reason whenever I try to draw ss Link I mess it up somehow :< my poor sweet boi didn't deserve this
Okay I kinda cheated with this one because I have only played la so far but I just really wanted to draw pink haired Link fgizhgkk
I don't really like this one either, it's better than ss Link but still kinda wonky. I really need to work on my faces, especially forward facing ones. I also cheated again bc I haven't finished taol yet :>

💗 A Classic Romance 💗
Happy very-last-minute Valentines Day! I figured everyone would be posting TotK Zelink, so here's classic to throw off the theme! :) I'm not as content with it as I want it to be, but I at least got the composition (inspired by like 5 old paintings I've had to look at recently). I used way too many brushes. Expect me to redraw this or even edit this post until I'm satisfied with it...
Program Used: Ibis Paint
Time Elapsed: 7 hours, 34 minutes
REBLOGGING IS ENCOURAGED, BUT DO NOT REPOST.

1. All stages of a final boss are counted.
2. Any boss fights prior to the final boss (even if they take place in the same location) don't count - just the final boss you fight.
