Artist's Comments

This was done for :iconjustmeandmypencil:'s TLoZ scene contest.

This contest gave me a good excuse to finally draw some Wind Waker fanart. That game holds a special spot in my heart, I don't know what it is that makes it so amazing, but I certainly find it one of, if not the, best Zelda games.

After going through a lot of scenes and sketches, I chose to draw a pic to represent the scene where Tetra is revealed to be Zelda. Zelda has always been my favourite character, and that scene is one of the best and most memorable scenes in TLoZ for me.

Overall, I'm happy with how this piece came out. Doing the background was lots of fun, though finding references for Hyrule castle was very hard, so I had to keep my Wind Waker game on while I was painting it. xD I had lots of trouble with the light effect, but in the end I like how Zelda looks.

Link might be edited later, I know there are many things off there haha.

P.S. Third version of Zelda I've drawn! Check the other ones here: [link] [link]

Constructive criticism is always welcome, but useless mean comments are not. If you think this drawing 'sucks', why not take a moment to tell me why don't you like it? Likewise, if you like it, it would be nice if you told me what do you like about it, instead of just saying 'awesome', 'cool', 'cute', etc. ^^

Well well well..this is, once again, mind-blowing.
Zelda's face really fits the gracefullness expected of her. But, I feel somewhat angry, as I also wanted to WW art for the contest. <.<;; Oh well..we'll see what happens.

Lovely job on her hair and the background works well. Good luck in the contest.

That was my favorite scene in WW. xD Just because of the way it was executed and how flip side she was with her personality (rude pirate to kind princess). I loved that scene. <3

Her lowered hand looks a bit off though. I think it's because of the pinky which seems to defy movement. The pinky generally follows movements in unison with the finger directly next to it (unless you point your pinky down in which case the other finger doesn't follow unless you make it).

But then hands are difficult in general, lol. Really good otherwise. The lighting certainly worked well. ;3

Thank you very much for the comment! I didn't even realize that, though now that I think about it, it sounds obvious. xD I'm never gonna win against hands. D:

I really like how the stained glass behind Zelda turned out. The Wind Waker was my first Zelda game that I ever owned.

Thank you!

Ahh, sorry. DD: I know how that feels, but hey, there are lots of scenes to choose from, and even if someone did the same one (which is very unlikely), all that matters is that you have fun in the contest, right? ^^ I'm sure a few people will at least have the same game.
:iconcruxisangel:
Thanks! Really? First games are always special... ^^
:iconmetroid-tamer:
No problem. <3

Lol try posing your hands when drawing for refs. It comes in handy (OH what a bad pun). In this is you could edit the pinky I'd have it follow the pattern of the fingers so it looked a little more natural. But it's totally up to you if you'll change it or not. ;D

I can barely draw hands myself. I never win against them (or bare feet D: ).

No worries! ^^

Oops! Did I sound too negative? Man, I didn't mean to do that. Righto, I'll continue my sketch. You're probably right as well.

Hehe, I almost always look at my own hands... I just have a bad habit of wanting to draw fingers long and swishy swooshy and complicated. <_<; I think I'll edit it, thanks again.
Oh yes, bare feet are evil too. :XD:

My favorite scene was in WW when the Orbs were aligned and when the statue blew, Link went flying through the air, and smacked right into the side of the Tower of Gods. That was just funnnyyyy.. |D;

Anyway, love this. (:
