Description My entry for the 2nd round of Link's Blacklist on Took me about 48 hrs from modelling, texturing, rendering and post editing.

This is the dodongo from the first legend of zelda for the NES; i based on the Nintendo's official art of this game here www.zeldadungeon.net/gallery/d… .

This dodongo can't spit fire so it's obvious it's attacks would be charging at foes, I think that's why its appearance is more of an armored triceratops than a big lizard, also this one has strong back legs instead of the frog-like ones that have the other family members of the dodongo.

With this one I'm trying a new way of texturing so comment if you like it.

See manhandla next and link and the full project on www.game-art-hq.com/links-blac…

Enjoy.

Nice, great job on my favorite Zelda 1 boss. The markings are nice modernized details.

This is just the most perfect graphical style for a kid-link Zelda game! It looks like claymation, but... not? That and, I always wanted a game where they revisited the concept art from the first two NES games.

This is so good, it looks like excellently-made sculptures in real life.

This is really really nice looking! Is the model of Link a full model? I'd love to see the whole model

This is exactly what I want to see in a Zelda game, and the models here are gorgeous. This may be honoring the past, but I think it also shows link's future potential. Excellent work!!!

XD many thanks.

Hopefully in the future Nintendo surprises us with a remake or a prequel, like it's doing with "A Link to the Past" this game's still got to much to give.

Dodongo dislike smoke.

Remember that, and you'll be fine.

That reminds me, something quite a few people don't know. In the original Zelda, if a bomb blew up in front of a dodongo, it would get stunned temporarily, allowing you to kill it in one hit with the sword. It would always drop bombs that way, so it's actually better than if you fed it two bombs.

I like everything but the way Link is positioned. Its really hard to tell right away that it is Link.Maybe his right arm could be up as its about to claw at link.

This entry is the Hammer. Such a detailed 3d artwork based on such a creature like the Dodongo from 1986.

This is just WOW and you have my deepest respect for that.

Link's Blacklist Round II just got another epic gem.

Many thanks man.

I tried to imagine how it would look like if appeared in the skyward sword or the wind waker games and this is what came out.
