Artists of Legend: Fairies and Fiends
Posted on February 28 2019 by Adam Barham
Hey, all. Welcome back to Artists of Legend. I feel like I need to give a head’s-up regarding submitted artwork – I recently found out that I’ve been missing an unknown chunk of submissions on Instagram, and didn’t catch it until today. If I’ve accidentally missed something that you’ve sent us, I’m very sorry, and as the guy who runs this series, I take full responsibility for it. Very soon, I’ll be going back through all of my previous submissions and gathering what I’ve missed. Your artwork will be featured here eventually. Once again, I apologize for my mistake. Now, let’s get into everything.
Submitted Artwork
Last week, we asked you to create artwork of the fairies from the Zelda series. We have only one submission this week, but we also have plenty of other submitted artwork to share!
Our submission for last week’s challenge is by @link0455, an old friend of mine on Twitter:
Here’s a bunch of more great submitted artwork as well!

Thank you all for sharing all of your awesome artwork with us! Keep up the great work! I promise that I’ll be bringing in missed submissions as soon as I can. Thank you for your understanding.
This Week’s Challenge
This week’s challenge was thought of by VonTurtle on the Linktober Discord server. This week, we’d like you to create artwork of a nemesis from the Zelda series. If you can think of a character that is in some way the nemesis of another, then artwork of them counts! Go crazy!
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. When you share artwork on Instagram, please share only one piece per post. Multiple posts to submit multiple pieces is totally fine!
- 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!
