Zelda Redesign -Image 2

Zelda Redesign -First submission

When it got to submission time this was as far as I had got.  Still lots and lots left to do but this was where I was at and though not thrilled with it I went ahead and submitted. By that time Dan had announced that the final deadline for submissions which would go to Kotaku was the following Wednesday so still time to work some more.

Errol 'in like' Flynn

I decided to modify the pose, put the character in water and eventually dropped the boat.  For charcters I kept very close to the depiction of charcters in Windwaker just moved them closer to relaistic.  I probably should have done more design after all that was the brief but with the time constraints and my meagre ablilities I did probably about as much as I could.

To build an environment for this image I went to ivan aivazovskii.  a master of moody atmospheric ocean scenes.  I had previously made a study of one of his paintings.  I went about doing a very quick lunchtime study. This is as far as I got.

Master and Commander Film Still Study

I did this study because the pose was pretty close to the comp and seafaring vibe.  The braiding was useful.  The pose was modified.  I had to keep all these studies short or I would not have time to finish the main image.  So no more than 2 hours.
