Description
Link has always been a really hard face for me to get right, even though he's been one of my favorite video game characters for years. What was I thinking making him the main character of a comic? OTLSo I decided to get down to business and figure his face out; I'm still not 100% happy with it, but It'll do. One nice thing about the Zelda games is that each one has a unique style about it. So the way I see it, Sacred Hand is just Zelda with a little Zealot thrown in there.
Bonus cookie to the person that comes up with an amusing (and appropriate) caption for the far right face. I have no idea what he's saying, but he seems quite serious about it.

I was considering how Link might sound with your caption. (And if it was not a caption, then it's my turn to say, "Uhh...what?")

The pain that it is getting his face just like you want it,and then a new Link design and game comes out with it and you just start sobbing "I JUST GOT THE HANG OF THE LAST ONE'S HAIR!" and then it's back to the sketching clipboard again.
No prob

;] Well that's the fun of designing your own Link; you can make it your own style.

Daww I got beat to the cookie. But I'll add a few for fun.
TP: No I do NOT mark my territory in wolf form, why would you even think that?
SS: (to Fi) Thank you Captain Obvious!
WW: Everyone seems to think because I'm a pirate, it means all I do is get drunk and pillage. Seriously, if I ever find the idiot who started that reputation...he's gonna wish he was never born.
The WW one, I kinda borrowed from ~LikeFireNeedsAir , who made him a pirate. And gave him epic facial hair xD
Anyway these are cool, but to be honest, I wouldn't recognize him if you wouldnt have said who he was. Probably the outfit...

XD Haha! I think I can give a few extra cookies for that! Love the TP one.
And that's good to know. He will of course don a more familiar outfit eventually. ;]

Yay! *eats cookie*
And yeah, makes sense. He usually starts in a different outfit.

Fanart in general--but especially Link--has always been some sort of daunting impossible task for me, I don't know why. So I can relate to your "can't draw Link dilemma". The rightmost head is your best (looks like he might be saying "Sleeping is an important part of life" probably trying to explain away sleeping in all the time). These look pretty good!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha! That's definitely something he would say.
Odd, I would say the leftmost head is my favorite, though the far right is a close second.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yay, cookie!
The leftmost one is definitely more dynamic, although the eye angle is a bit off (it looks like they should be tilted down at the outermost sides). However, drawing eyes from an 3/4 angle can be difficult, and I'd say you did a pretty good job considering that this is practice.

I'm using the Twilight Princess Link as my base "building block" if you will. I'm not sure exactly what you mean about the angle, but if you see the same thing in this image, then it was intentional. TP Link's eyes have a unique shape that I'm trying to emulate (though I may just be doing a poor job of it). -_-'

Ah, I see; you're trying to mimic some very difficult eyes. I tried to illustrate what I meant by the angle thing here: [link] if that's any help. That muro will be deleted after you view it, FYI

Aah yes, I do see what you mean. That lower eyelid is a crucial aspect to get in the right place.

Ah, glad that I finally made some sense--it's hard to describe something like that in words sometimes. Anyhow, I believe you'll get the hang of it! Good luck!

Looks great to me! My only concern is the face on the far left and 2nd farthest right- his eyes look a bit off to me. Other than that, everything looks fantastic! :3

Thanks!
Aah yes, that perspective was tricky. I'm still struggling with how to draw Link's eyes; it's a specific anime style in itself. OTL

Yeh, I must admit I struggle with eyes a bit myself. XD Well, practice makes perfect!
