Description
Edit: Touched up the contrast a bit, particularly on the moon and the clouds around it.How about returning to Termina as adult Link in a sequel to 'The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'? I don't own a Switch yet but I might consider buying one.
I don't even know what came over me to create Zelda fanart again lol. It's been almost ten years since I finished my fanart for Ocarina of Time. Time flies, it's scary!
The landscape/castle of this artwork is based on photos I took on my trip to Scotland this fall. Besides that credit goes to the following stock owners:
Link8 by faestock | Hand Pose - Gripping - Shoulder/Arm by Melyssah6-Stock | UNRESTRICTED - Falling Autumn Leaves by frozenstocks | Castle in the fog 2 by legends-stock | Lightning Pack by untodarkness-stock | Bird Silhouette1 by FrankAndCarySTOCK | Sky photos from photobash.org and gumroad.
Thanks for stopping by!

The shading and light are great, with multiple sources of light the shadowing is realistic. The color choice is subtle yet vibrant and beautiful; which makes you explore the fantastic details. The clouds and stone are done particularly well. this an improvement on some of your other pieces. You should be proud.
Everything is well done and flows. . . . except for the moon. It's out of place. You would have to redo this piece to fit the moon or replace it. It just doesn't fit with the flow of the awesomeness of the rest of the scene. Overall I love this piece of art my eyes just choose to ignore the moon.

Hi Erik! I know you are recreating a game and I never saw it, then my opinion is strictly about the composition in the image. There are not problem with the moon place or shape etc. I think the problem is the competition between the moon and the architectural estructure at left, the contrast levels are too many there, so the eye has two points of attention and this may confuse a little.

I never received this comment, I just found this by accident 
Thanks for the input, Adriana! Yes, I know that's a problem. However the scene is not complete if I just have one or the other. I tried to use the colorful mask to combine the two points, but it's helping just a little.

It happens haha

It might. I saw the 'steps' post. It may be the primordial side of me that expects a moon to have a darker scene?

That's sad to hear because the moon is supposed to be the center piece, and I purposely built everything in circular shapes around it. But thanks a lot for your honest critique and the kind words!

Don't get me wrong the moon it's self is nice there's just something off about the combination. I wish I could put into better words.

I love the style of Majora's mask and Link and how the mask stands out with its bright colors. However, it does not seem Link stands out, he just sort of fades away into the background. I also like the sky and it's sort of realistic style. The moon looks a bit weird compared to one in Legend of Zelda, especially with the moon having a fat, crooked nose and a wider mouth, but I like the eyes. There's lightning coming from the moon which kind of annoys me, since I do not think the moon shoots lightning, although I might be wrong since I've never played Majora's Mask.
Overall, it's pretty good, especially with it's sort of realistic style and a sort of depiction showing how important it is for Link to continue his quest.

Thank you for the critique! Indeed the moon's face is not super close to the original. Maybe I took too many liberties compared to the game.
The thought of the moon shooting lightning made me laugh actually.

Very cool, but what would make the sequel different from it's predecessor? Don't get me wrong, I'd be cool with a sequel to that game and all but only if it was all different from it, like perhaps how A Link Between Worlds was treated towards A Link To The Past for example.

To be honest, I haven't thought much about it.

Awesome work! From now on I will look at the moon in another way.

haha, luckily it's far from reality. That face would disturb me!

It would bother me too, I would never go out again at night

This is amazing and that's an understatement. My son loved this when I showed him. This is my new desktop wallpaper.

"I once vowed that I shall consume this land. Seven years it has been, and I have recuperated my power. Now, no matter what manner of weaponry you have, you are bereft of your transformative masks, and are therefore powerless to stop me.
You may partake in attempting to stop me; admittedly, it would be an amusing game for us both, but you would only be succeeding in delaying your inevitable death. So, do you want to play... Link?"

I would love to see a Zeldagame return to Termina with an Adult Link on the switch. I reckon they could pull it off with either the modified Havoks engine they did with Breath of the Wild or even the UE4 engine!
I think if theres ever one music track i won't forget from the Zelda universe it would be Clock town day one.

Hehe I'm pretty sure you're kind of the only one who's annoyed by that.
But yeah I saw the clouds adjustment in the animation, such attention to detail... You're welcome Dr. Zapa!
