But Night I want to.... ohhh, sorry read that wrong. But why do you think I would? Never have before knock on wood x)

Thanks neko, froot, ES, Nightmare, and keikai, Good to see you keik, but he's mine I'm afraid.
Sugarskull (Jul 31, 2006)
Very nice. You definately got the look of the Twilight Princess version of Link here.
Deino (Jul 31, 2006)
I'm so tired of waiting for this game x(

Great drawing, awesome colouring. You got that determined face Link has, great work!

I hate that frickenfrackenfriggenfrellanfrimanitchen buckle. Took me so long to get it to this point and I'm still not liking it. *sigh* Well this is all for now. Thought would be so simple, silly me, I never do anything simple.
Kanuto (Aug 1, 2006)
haha the famous green man! Cant wait to see this one finished =)
Nightmare (Aug 1, 2006)
I smell a showcase.
keikai (Aug 1, 2006)
Fine, I'll let you have him >> but only because you are the you -hands it back over- T.T *sniffle*

The buckle looks great to me to tell you the truth.
xiau (Aug 1, 2006)
AGHHH sweetcell I love you now. Like, even more than I already did. Which was a lot already? Uhhmm...yeah.
This had better get showcased when it's done! DX It's...perfect! And so many details...ohh...
Sweetcell (Aug 1, 2006)
Need space wahhhhhhh. Thanks all.
tandrew971 (Aug 1, 2006)
love this so far sweetcell. cant wait for you to finish
friend (Aug 1, 2006)
Funny how everyone loves link! =)
Deino (edited Aug 1, 2006)
Well, he is link. He dosen't speak (Well, lets all remeber the "excuuuuuuse me princess" lol), he has this great sword and shield, and he wears green. I mean, green is the greatest color of them all :D


That belt is awesome Sweetcell!!!
Sweetcell (Aug 1, 2006)
Thanks everyone. Right now I'm shuffling between this piece, my Biomechanoid, and my Jehreg/dragon, so I never know when I'm going to finish. Slowly but surely.
Tsukiko (edited Aug 2, 2006)
uhh it looks fantastic! i love the coloring of the clothing, and the skin and face...
my favorite part is the hat ^^
cant wait for the finished picture, it will be awesome!

Have you ever tried to paint leather? Don't if you want to keep your sanity.

Well he's halfway done, his upper body I feel is finished (though knowing me I'll probably fiddle with it.) Just the lower body, that glove and dem dere legs and I can say doooone.

Oh right, have to get the sword and shield in there. *sheesh*
hideyourface (edited Aug 7, 2006)
Im not really liking the big lips or the rather squareish nose, but other than that this is awesomee.
Miss_DJ (edited Aug 26, 2006)
This is excellent, Sweetcell. Love how you did the clothes! The whole draw is perfect!

Oooohhhh Hyrule, where the evil's sweeping down the plains
Where a woodland sprite
becomes a guide
for our big young hero dressed in green....
wboyer (Aug 8, 2006)
You know... Although this is looking pretty sharp, I've gotta say that you did get the perspective a bit wrong on this... Which means that the right (viewer's left) leg is shorter in proportion to the rest of the body than it should be...

With the ref, you're looking more down at Link than directly at him... I dunno.

This is so cool though! I mean, you've nailed the detail... I love your style :D
Sweetcell (Aug 8, 2006)
Hide, then don't look at the big ass lips and square nose.

Wyboyer, *sigh* I know I know, but trust me it's the closest I can come to.

Thank you MissD. Wyboyer and hide. Just think of this as MY version of Link. It won't be exact, but it'll be as good as I can get him. Bonza all.
amagic2u (Aug 8, 2006)
you know I gotta tell ya ...I THINK THIS IS KICK ASS GREAT.... and to wboyer WHO CARES really. i always liked a link with a short leg and who has a perspective a bit wrong. pick pick pick. sweetcell BRAVO
Sweetcell (Aug 8, 2006)
Tanka amagic.

bffl. :)
wboyer (Aug 10, 2006)
No problem Sweetcell :D I still think it's bloody awesome. I couldn't do something like this, let me tell you... You are awesomely talented (I'm freaking obsessed with the detail you've put into this... :D)

I can't wait to see it finished!! ;D

Hey, I'm done. Finally. I'm pleased with how it came out, despite the right leg being wonky and the face not quite right, and I felt a black background looked better than a boring white.

Yahhhh done.
squee (Aug 11, 2006)
:D Sweet this is fantastic! Friggin Awesome
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Aug 11, 2006)
I can tell you put a lot of work into this and it came out very well.
Deino (Aug 11, 2006)
Wow Sweetcell! All those hours, all that effort: It really shows of! I most congratulate you, this is a terrific job! The level of detail, the colors are incredible!

I love his sword!
Kayos (Aug 11, 2006)
incredible sweetcell!!! wow!
Nightmare (Aug 11, 2006)
Showcase this shit.

Sweetcell (edited Aug 12, 2006)
Thanks everyone. I'm glad I can say I did this and have another one out of my studio.

But damn that's a huge sword. And he's a wolf in this one? So that means no Wolfos to fight huh? So what if there's a female Wolfos who runs into Link when he's a wolf and she's in heat?

Ok, don't answer that. :D
davincipoppalag (Aug 11, 2006)
This is really impressive!
mikron (Aug 12, 2006)
WoW.. ! This is much better than the ref !

Pantera (Aug 16, 2006)
I agree this should be in showcase, I love the detail, great job :)
Kloxboy (Aug 16, 2006)
That's just amazing. Great work Sweetcell, there is more style to your piece than the original version. :)
Sweetcell (Aug 16, 2006)
Thank you everyone, I so appreciate it.

I saw videos for this game and may I say HOLY SHIT! The animation, the look, the overall feel. I mean it just looks awesome (especially seeing him fighting on horseback, and his turning into the aforementioned wolf.) and I'm sorry I don't have gamecube. I envy everyone who get's to play this game. Envy I say.... ENVY!

Shigatsu_Sensei (Sep 3, 2006)
HEY! LINK!!!!! I LOVE ZELDA!!!!! WHOO!!!! I can draw this good, but not oekaki it ^^ Your good. Im just starting.
Boichi (Sep 7, 2006)
o.o .... *stands there with jaw dropped*
solve (Sep 7, 2006)
Is this archived? If not I am a sad boy. I mean sheesh! If link was a living person this would make him blush, he told me so.

Wonderful wonderful work Sweetcell. By all means this is impressive to me.
NOVEMBER93 (Sep 8, 2006)
Very detailed. I love this, because I just love Link. Awesome <3
Alter.Native (Sep 8, 2006)
Freakin' awesome detail..Great work..and..why do i keep on calling you Dawn?..
Sweetcell (edited Sep 11, 2006)
Wow, thanks for the Showcase. I really appreciate it. This one was a labor of love despite the problems it gave me. And thanks to all who commented. I'm smiling like a silly school girl now. :)))))

I think cause that's how you knew me best Nikki. Dawns Rise was much more immersed at Youdraw than sweetcell. If you want then call me that by all means. It's been a long time since anyone called me that, it'd be refreshing.

Just have to say wish I could go back and get rid of the white specks near his hand and boots and elsewhere, they're driving me crazy.
fleeting_memory (Sep 15, 2006)
you know when you look at a picture like a hundred times and you say to yourself 'damn thats good' each time but you never comment? Yeah this was one of those times, but now since I've waited to long, everyone's already said everything, so....Damn that's good.
Moosh (Sep 22, 2006)
Holy crap that's awesome. Great job. <3
keikai (Nov 14, 2006)
Ohwaaa! It turned out great! Good job!
TuffGhost (Dec 26, 2006)
Looks Great! My friend did the promotional poster that was released in nintendo power as a prismacolor in art class last year, he did an amazing job as well.
ssmario100 (Jan 5, 2007)
Oh yes Zelda goodness.
Kaze-chan (Jan 6, 2007)
OMG! it's beautiful! it looks like the real thing! WOH! amazing. great job. :D
Kamll (Jan 6, 2007)
Wow.. it's beautiful. It's as beautiful as a man in tights can be :P
Seriously, though, that's really amazing
gizemko3 (Jun 13, 2007)
oh wow. damn, i don't have N64... i guess i will have to stick with GameBoy, sniff.
i was thinking about this for some time now: how come he's one of the hottest men ever when he's dressed heavily from toes to the neck (no skin showing except the face)? i have no clue
paladin590 (Jan 26, 2011)
nice, but not perfect :)
montezmaria (Jan 29, 2011)
What detail!!! Love the fabrics, leather brown on him. Beautiful tones throughout the entire pc........you did an awesome job on this.
