Description Masked Hero
Parallel memories flood his mind
The search of a dear friend only leads to tragedy and loss of sanity
A quest against time to save the innocent from evil
Familiar faces are comforting to a broken mind
He takes on the identity of many others
Is a hero still a hero though he wears a mask?
Fly with saddness through swamps
Roll with bravery through snow and ice
Swim with honor through murky water
A soul trapped in a mask makes for terrible evil
Become a deity to release a poor soul from its puppeteer mask
Four giants aid you in song
A hero once again
But never stop looking
Never forget anyone
Never forget HER...
She holds the song deep in your heart to continue on

Written by:

That was the poem my friend Natalie had written for this painting awhile ago.

Anyways here's my painting for Majora's Mask!
The painting consists of Link and the 3 masks he acquires in the game. The Goron and the Zora are both spirits while the Deku scrub is just a manifestation of Link's fear of them...so he's not a spirit.
Anyways, this took me 3 years to complete and I think that it turned out ok...considering how long it took me. I actually had to fight myself on redoing things to make them look better. Who knows how much longer it would have taken me if I had done that.
Well Im also thinking of selling this. So if anyone is interested in it just send me a note and I'll give the details on it.

Ok here are some links to the close up of the Deku scrub, Goron and Zora:
1)[link]
2)[link]
3)[link]

OK hope you enjoy this.....oh and I find it odd that there isn't a fanart section in the painting section of deviant.

Done in oil paint on a 24x36 canvas and took 3 years to complete.

But, wasn't the Deku form a manifestation of the Deku butler's son?

well done by the way.

SyraCourage In reply to KleSt [2007-05-26 04:48:49 +0000 UTC]

I don't know....it might have been. They don't really give a hint to that, but it could work. Thanks!! I appreciate it.

KleSt In reply to SyraCourage [2007-05-26 10:53:14 +0000 UTC]

The Deku butler always talks about Link reminding him of his own son when they used to race each other.

At the beginning of the game after the Skullkid transforms Link into a deku, you see a lifeless sad looking tree when you get to the central tower of clocktown from underground.
In the ending credits of the game, you see the Deku butler grieving in front of said tree.

I played the game too much, so I know these things.

Awww yes now I remember. I only played it all the way through once. I wish I could play through it again, but with school and all I don't have much free time. Yeah that actually makes perfect sense now.....now I onlt wish I could fix that...Oh well.

Aww, thank you! ...during the portfolio review, it actually got critized alot because it was someone else's character...they loved the colors and such, but they said that sort of thing is bad. Ouchu.

SyraCourage In reply to Neverdiex [2007-06-01 19:35:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah they will do that in portfolio reviews. Ive gotten crap for doing zelda stuff before, but it doesn't mean Im going to stop doing fanart....plus it's not really meant for other people....just me and the few people that like it for what it is....fanart. I don't really see anything wrong with it...just as long as you say that the character isn't of your own creation, but the image is. Then I think it's just fine and if your trying to sell it I believe that if the other person knows what it is and that it's not your character then I also believe that it's ok. But that's just me and my ramblings.

Neverdiex In reply to SyraCourage [2007-06-01 19:47:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it at all, its a good way to get to draw other styles and such; its just not a good portfolio piece. :sweat:

SyraCourage In reply to Neverdiex [2007-06-01 20:01:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I probably won't include any of my fanart in my protfolio. The only one that would count is the one I did for my value project. That was an actual picture.

SyraCourage In reply to AkureiSpartan117 [2007-05-21 03:05:06 +0000 UTC]

Ive actually played the GC version and it is a lot of fun. At them moment Im playing the one for the Wii...it is also fun. The only thing I don't like is that they flipped the graphics for the Wii version. I didn't see the point in that. Heck just being able to use the Wii remote like sword was good enough for me. It's just odd....and link is right handed cause of the flipping of the graphics. I plain to play it again, but left handed. Should be interesting.

AkureiSpartan117 In reply to SyraCourage [2007-05-21 03:23:36 +0000 UTC]

"flipped the graphics"? does that imply that the graphics aren't as good on the wii or something like that? ehhh, whatever, i may check out the GC version afterall based on what you thought about it

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SyraCourage In reply to AkureiSpartan117 [2007-05-21 03:31:49 +0000 UTC]

No. The graphics in the game are great. It's just when you play the GC version ...say I had to go left in one of the dungons, in the Wii version I would go right instead of left. The graphics are a mirror image of the GCs. The image looks fine it's actually really awesome, but the game for the Wii plays as a mirror to the GC version. Sorry if I confused you in anyway.

SyraCourage In reply to AkureiSpartan117 [2007-05-21 15:20:45 +0000 UTC]

Haha! Yeah you'll actually have to play both games to notice....or you could just find a strategy guide for the GC version and then one for the Wii version and take a look at the maps. That will explaine everything.

AkureiSpartan117 In reply to SyraCourage [2007-05-21 17:45:12 +0000 UTC]

strategy guides, in my opinion, kinda spoil everything. i'd much rather beat the game first on my own, and then buy a strategy guide to find out what i missed. but that's just me

SyraCourage In reply to AkureiSpartan117 [2007-05-22 23:29:28 +0000 UTC]

Oh I don't blame you. I feel the same way. I say just wait till you beat it and then figure it out.
