Description Original sketch and line art respectively: fav.me/d7iplpq (Sketch) and fav.me/d7ki34q (Lines)

Here's the finished result of my collab with  

It feels awesome to finish something I'm insanely proud of! 8D It started as cell shading but I kinda turned it on it's head about half way through. I really had fun blending all sorts of different colours together for this! I'm still a bit chicken when it comes to using different colours together for shading and painting, but I hope I did an okay job with this one! I spent quite a long time on it and tried to do some more overpainting and such.

I really really hope you all enjoy the result! <3 Thank you for looking!  

Zelda belongs to Nintendo

Gorgeous texture for the background: fav.me/d48c57s by Thank you!

Her hair is beautiful, and the dress is a very nice color, but I can't help but notice that she's a little, errr, busty, I guess you could say?

Thanks! c:

As for that... well, haha. It's how she was in the original sketch I worked with. I think the idea was this was a more grown up version of TMC's Zelda, or her in a style similar to Twilight Princess Zelda. I am sorry if it's not to your taste, though. :c

All is well, I guess it just didn't cross my mind that you were aiming for an older version of the same iteration. The work is very well done none the less. Have a gold star.

I missed you! And It makes me glad to see your work once again!

I thought the blue background would go nice with her eyes.

Thanks! ^^

First, I have to pick up my jaw off the floor. o.o

I'm floored by this, hun! The lineart was fantastic in itself but this just completes it justly! Where to begin on such a dazzling piece? Well, her hair is really grabbing to me. The shine of the light and the shading strands really give it depth, long, lovely thick hair. <3 Her eyes are another wonderout piece, she's got sapphire eyes that sparkle with the light of her heart! One can get lost in those eyes ^^ And more sparkles show on her eyeshadow, I love it when you add that feature! Then the lighting on her lips, it gives the slight texture one has on their lips, it's fantastic the detail you put even into such a small thing as that! And her skin! I love how places like her cheeks have a special shine (And blush on her cheeks for that matter), just makes her all the more dazzling ^^

The clothing is very well done, the soft shading on the fabrics gives a plush look to them, for the main body and the wrap. Her gloves are different, having a more destinct shine on them. And the gold is fantastic, it's real great to see the shine from a particular light source, but also the streaks of light as metal would! The pearls are the same way, they have quite an authentic shine to their orb shape and origin. I'm real impressed with that!

You've been going all out on this one, I'm astounded! ^^ Bravo, bravo you! You have every right to be proud of this! You get more amazing with each piece<3

Pffht <3

I'm really liking the direction my painting was going with this one, I'm hoping I can work more like this in future. I'm glad it's gone so well with you and others who have commented/faved it. ^^

Thank you! ^__^

Glad you had fun with it! When I first drew it I never imagined it being colored, but it looks great! Perhaps we could do more collabs in the near future?

Thank you Jryn! <33! I'm a little bit sad that I had to crop some of her hair out so she'd fit the frame ;_; I swear my tablet and hands will curse me for that pffht. My rambling aside, I'm so glad you approve of what's there!

Your new icon is killing me omg it's so cuuuute! <3!
