Zelda Art (Drawing) Link and Epona - Geared Up

[Hylian Pants]

COLORED Link and Epona - Geared Up

EDIT: I colored the sketch due to another night of boredom and insomnia. I'm terrible with backgrounds and landscapes, so yeah, let's say they're traveling in some sort of abstract, blank dimension

So. Many. Straps.

I don't know why I like drawing Link as Mr. Serious all the time... I also don't know why I decided to put a cape on him :B But I do know from the look on his face that the map he's holding is proving to be a formidable staring contest opponent. O ya, and I butchered Epona but cutting her off at every wrong angle, woot Ten points if you call out the reference to the original LOZ concept Link.




Also viewable in better quality at ZD album and my DevArt, as always

Love this HP! Must say, you are great at drawing,keep up the awesome work. And for some reason I'm digging the serious face

The horse's head is cropped but still a good drawing. Very nice, HP.

 

[Rishian]

Love the pic!
Very well drawn.

I saw this on DA. Link's serious-face is delightful. It's gotta be annoying to be the Chosen Hero sometimes. Was playing around in TP last night and he does make faces like that, these "Let's just get this over and get out of here!" faces.

Link: Where is it now? Stupid crudely-drawn crumbling ancient map... probably obselete by now. Midna, why aren't you helping me? Stop staring at my butt from the shadows and be useful for once!

Epona: *Whinny*

I really like Epona's eye in this. Getting a horse's eye right is really special. I get to see horses almost every day, so I know this.

I really like how you put in the detail of what Link would actually wear.

Thanks everyone! :3

Shadsie, it's true, Epona's eye was a little tricky, but I'm glad it turned out well. I was thinking what you might have to say as I was drawing this.. I was like, "Oh, Shadsie knows horses head to toe... I wonder if she'll tear apart Epona's anatomy" haha, nice captions too.

EDIT again: gawd, I wish I could rename the thread title with "colored" in it now... I'm actually kind of like the colored one better than sketch for once in my life...

Oo, I like seeing the comparison. Really like Epona's coloring...and is that an empty bottle on Link's belt? Nice touch. *g*

Btw, can you not rename the thread if you "go advanced", or will it not give you permission?

 

[Tak]

I prefer your serious faced Link to the contemporary smily happy Link. It shows that every hero gets annoyed at some point. Link can't always smile.

Wonderful work

Heh, almost forgot to check this thread..

Huzzah! Ten internet points for you, Feb! Yup, the empty circular bottle is a reference to the original LOZ concept art, where Link was shown walking while carrying all of his items on his back and strapped around his outfit. I always loved that concept... Take that, hammerspace!

Btw, can you not rename the thread if you "go advanced", or will it not give you permission?

Sadly no, You can put a new title in, but the title will only change when you're viewing the thread, above the first post...

That's a very good drawing. I really like it. You did a very good job with it.

 

[Emera]

Awesome drawing! I really like how you colored this and how Epona's cropped out a bit. It looks really good!
