Zelda
At last, Zelda is complete!
This piece was started on the 1st of April 2016, and was in development hell for 6 months. Viewers of my stream have seen this thing go through redraw after redraw. Pretty much every aspect of this was redone entirely at least 3 times before arriving here. Problems came in all varieties: figure/anatomy problems, shading problems, color scheme problems, stylization problems (making Zelda look like Zelda), and none of the fancy ideas I had were working out. It was a tangled mess. It didn't help that I strayed from her regular costume and put her in something totally different.
So it took a while, but at last I've reached something decent.
I've wanted to draw Zelda for a long time - I am very fond of her design and she's one of those quintessential characters in videogames - so it was unfortunate that this happened. In the end, I must say I'm still not terribly satisfied with it. I think I fell short of truly capturing her, and I would like to give it another chance in the future.
Anyways, enough rambling from me. :>
Enjoy! ❤❤❤
