Artists of Legend: Braving the Heat
Posted on July 25 2019 by Adam Barham
Hey everyone! Welcome back to yet another entry in our series Artists of Legend. This week, as normal, we have quite a few submissions to feature and a new art prompt to offer to anyone interested. Now, let’s get right on into everything!
Submitted Artwork
Last week, we asked you to create artwork for the other, mostly smaller Zelda games that the Linktober x ZD Marathon calendar didn’t cover. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive any artwork for this challenge this week. If you wanted to submit to us but were too busy to, don’t worry! We all get busy sometimes; you focus on what you personally need to, and we’ll be here when you have the time. In the meantime, here’s a bunch of fantastic artwork that we want to share!

Thank you all for sharing your awesome artwork! Keep it up!
This Week’s Challenge
This week’s prompt comes courtesy of Mr. Linktober himself, Joel Siegel, on his Discord server. Because we’re in the middle of summer, and because of the widespread heat that’s currently around, this week, we’d like you to create artwork of hot areas from the Zelda series. There are plenty of options that you could choose from, such as Gerudo Desert, Death Mountain, one of the various Fire Temples, or the like! Also, don’t forget, you’re free to suggest your own ideas for art challenges, and they might be featured in a future Artists of Legend. In the meantime, be creative, go crazy, and have fun!
As always, here are the rules for artwork in this series.
- Keep things clean. Zelda Dungeon should be safe for all ages, so don’t go creating foul images, anything too risque, or anything NSFW.
- Stick to the main idea, but feel free to be creative with it. If you want to draw a specific scene from one of the games, go ahead; if you want to come up with something similar to a scene from one of the games with a twist on it, that’s great too.
- Any form of art is acceptable as long as it somehow displays the mentioned scene. You can draw with a pencil and paper, paint on a canvas, make pixel art on a computer, weave, carve, create the scene with Zelda figurines, even do metal work if that’s your thing. Go crazy!
- While you can submit your work in the comment section, the preferred methods are putting your work in the comment section here on Zelda Dungeon, or Tweeting or posting on Instagram with #artistsoflegend. It makes it easier for me to find the art when you submit it.
- Do not steal art from someone else.
- Do not insult other people’s art. Peaceful critiques and thoughts are one thing; direct insults are another.
- There’s no pressure. Just have fun!
I look forward to seeing what you guys create this time, and I’ll see you all next week!
