Description “I have to go before anyone sees me,” he said.

“You’ll be back soon, won’t you?”

“As soon as I can,” he replied. He had fooled neither Zelda nor himself with his answer.

“You will keep your promise…?”

“I won’t break my promise,” he assured her. He brought his Ocarina to his lips and played a few haunting notes. Before the tune ended he had vanished in a swirl of light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is for *CallistoHime 's Illustration Contest. ='D (GARGH! I've been working on this picture for so long! I consider this to be one of the first "fluff scenes". It's not exactly... happy, though. But the scene put such an image in my mind.

For the sky, I referenced tutorial from *Sadir89 . She makes some very nice tutorials for skies. ^^

Edit: For those of you who are curious, this piece did end up winning third place in the judging contest and second in the popular vote. I'm honored to get a placing! (I don't think I'm even worthy for this. ;_; ) Thank you for all your support!

Isn't there a revising project going on for TCE? That and I've been occupied with several different things at once--including plot bunnies, lack of motivation, or just working on other things in general. I do need to catch up though. XD

We haven't worked on the TCE Revamp since last summer...AtA's just calling louder! It's not dropped, but it's on hold.

Right now Chrissy's writing AtA ch. 60. ^^ Where was it you left off?

HyruleMaster In reply to WishIWould [2009-03-19 04:39:27 +0000 UTC]

Errr... the beginning of TCE. XD;;; I've seen the characters Chrissy has drawn though. I really need to get reading, huh? XD;

WishIWould In reply to HyruleMaster [2009-03-19 04:44:02 +0000 UTC]

oh MY! I WONDERED why I hadn't seen any later fan art than that! Ohhh, man...oh man you have no idea @_@ How far are you?

I had a hard time motivating myself to keep going at the beginning, too - it's slow, and mostly devoted to character and relationship set-up. But I swear...that beginning set things in motion that keep coming up for the rest of the story. After a certain point in TCE, it just has this "oh my gosh oh my gosh OH MY GOOOOOOOOSH" feeling that makes you keep going - and in AtA, oh goooodness, her writing quality improved so much! I didn't get involved till AtA ch 7.

Gooooodness girl, you have no idea what you're missing! D8

Oh, I don't doubt it (it does have a huge following of fans). XD Even from what I read in the beginning, I saw that it was good--I can't really why I stopped in the first place. o.o I'll find the time to read it though.

WishIWould In reply to HyruleMaster [2009-03-19 05:08:19 +0000 UTC]

Yay! X3 I promise, it just gets better...there are a lot of people who have said that reading AtA has improved their lives and helped them figure out their own personal convictions, too! So it's more than just fiction >.> It's fiction that's pwn. >=3



Well yay! I understand about time @_@ But yay!

I swear I faved this and posted a comment gushing about it's awesomeness...
Eh. Crappy computer screwed up.

You've captured Zelda's emotion in that scene perfectly! Her heart is obviously being ripped out and troddon on. I love the moon, but it makes me feel sadder cause walking in the moonlight is a very romantic thing but her walk with Link isn't very romantic.
And her hair- so flowy!!!

It makes me so sad for her, but I love this piece!!

It's always so sad to see a scene when those two lovers have to separate, even for a few moments. This was a beautiful picture, and I loved how you gave it a three-dimensional view. That is genius!

I voted for this art here for CallistoHime's contest for it seems CallistoHime want the cote comments on the art comment section themselves and not on the contest page. :/ Sorry about that CallistoHime, I never knew I was supposed to put my vote comment on the art for I thought at first I was supposed put my vote comment on the contest page, sorry about that mistake.

Wow, so beautiful! It's drawn lovely. I love Zelda's expression, especially her eyes & how her arms are. They're spread out & so delicate looking. I like her hair too, very nice & blowing free. This looks very spiritual. The moon looks lovely too & a nice colour. You even put in the light coming from it & I like the rest of the background. Lovely colouring, shading & lighting effects, nice work!
