Phew....I hope this image looks alright on other moniters...I have a very bright LCD screen, so it looks fine on my comp, but will probably mutate into a dark blob so that you can't see any of the details. *sigh*
Well, Its finally pretty much finished. Tis Link from the legend of Zelda. That game was one of my first fandoms ever...I would draw link and zelda kissing using reference from the scenes of Peter Parker and Mary Jane from my spiderman comics XD
For this picture though, I used reference and inspiration from Hyung-tae Kim a little...I wanted link to have a new flare to his outfit, so I tinkered around with it a little. I hope that it still looks like link and keeps his original vibe.
I guess you could say this is my concept of what I'd like him to look like in a new game. I even had a story behind him and the faerie.
Its like, Link needs to get through the lost woods, but can't because...they're the lost woods. So he craftily captures an unlucky faerie floating around and ties her to his sword using magic threads. She can't get away until she guides him through the forest. Kinda a darker theme than most of his other partnerships, but I'm sure they'll become friends over time. ^^

Anyways, once again, I hope the colours and such look ok on your monitors. If you find that its too dark or too light, then just let me know and I'll try to fix it and find a universal balance that everyone likes. ^_^

Have you ever seen the movie the dark crystal? Link in this picture kinda reminds me of the mein characters from that movie.

I love your interpretation of the detail-less blob referred to as his fairy. Yours is so awesome!

I think it looks like a middle version of link....Like...not young link nor adult link...like somewhere in the middle...Like...imagining young link is 7 and adult link 17...this looks like a 12 year old link....to me at least no offese of course, I LOVE IT...it just look like a semiteen link to me :)
