Link.jpgLink1442 viewsWell, here it is, my design of Link. Im not sure which game this link could fit into, so lets just say he is my own link, from my own game, that I designed, and ill never release. So there. With that said, here are some things id like to share about the design:
Well, first of all, There is the overall look. Hes adult, mature, and definitely made to kick some moblin butt. Some major things added would be the steel armor on the shins, gauntlets, and chest plate and shoulder gaurds. The chainmail makes up for the lack of true armor, and keeps him flexible. Also you can see little pouches here and there at his belt, and even some slash and stratches on his tunic, one of which has been quickly repaired.
Here are some things I would like to point out in detail. First of all, his sword, which is a original design. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/image57/linksword.jpg I don’t have much reason as to why I drew it the way I did, it just kind of came out of my pencil. The same goes with the sheath. As you can see, I made sure they would fit into each other nicely.
Next would be his pack and bomb bag. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/image57/linkequitment2.jpg I always thought since link is a great traveler, and has so much stuff, he would need a pack. So I gave him one. In it he would keep the things that he doesn’t need at the ready all the time, such as potions, jars, cloths, and various other items. The bomb bag is much different then the one seen in the games, and has its inspiration from a mail pouch. Easily accessible, but always at the ready. See my goron weapons design for more on the bombs.
The bow and arrow. Nothing so special here, just put a lot of detail into this stuff to make it unique. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/image57/linkequitment3.jpg
And finally the hookshot. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/image57/linkhookshot.jpg I spent a long time designing this. First of all, its strapped to links gaunlent, which was just a idea that I liked. Now here is how it works. Link points the hookshot at the intended target then presses the inner button on the handle. It releases the spring, which shoots the hook. As the hook hits the target and goes into it, the sensitive tip triggers the hooks that come out from the side of the main blade. They keep the hookshot in place. Then link pulls on the other lever on the handle, which triggers a spring on the opposite side, pulling him closer to the extended blade. When he reaches his destination, he simply slides the button on the side of the blade stem that disables the extra hooks, retrieves the blade, and there ya go.
Well that’s it. I love comments, so tell me what you think and what changes or additions can be made. Thanks…

goron 2.jpgGoron 21131 viewsIts been awhile since Ive uploaded anything, so I decided to show this little doodle. Its a basic goron, which are quickly becoming easier to draw now that I have a set apperance for them. The sword design is a little wacky, and not anything a goron would most likely use, but I was bored, so I just went a bit crazy. We'll just say this is a weapon he obtained as a spoil of war, collected from teh battlefield.Braxis

Ganondorf.jpgThe Prince of Thieves1238 viewsMy version of Ganondorf. This is what I feel ganondorf looked like in the child portion of OOT. I felt that his orginal design, while being awesome, did not suit someone that lived and trived in the desert. So I changed all that. He now wears more cloth then armor. I gave him a scarf to wrap around his face during wind storms in the desert, and for raids or something. His body has many scars over it from his battles. Im not sure why he is wearing sandles, but they give him a better desert appreance (or at least I think so). I also gave him middle eastern themed weapons, that he could hack and thrust with. I also gave him a waterskin, because no matter how strong you are, the desert will consume you if you dont have water. Overall I think this design came out well. You should expect the a new link really soon!Braxis

Talon.jpgTalon723 viewsMy take on talon. I wanted to make him look less like mario and more like a zelda character. He kind of has that warrior gone to seed look, which I went for. I plan on using this design for a upcoming fan comic so look out for that. Some may like the changes, some may not. any request are welcome too!Braxis

Volvagia.jpgVolvagia Concept Sketch1018 viewsHere I am just playing with the volvagia design, seeing what works and whatnot. I only drew the special areas, and the small sketch of volvagia compares his size to link. What I did is add in the spike on the elbow, Crested his brow with jewels, and made his skin more rough and molten-rock like. I also added that spike thing on his tail, just to make it unique and maybe another weapon he could use. The idea is that lava and fire lie just below his skin, so when he stretches, fire seeps out. Anything else I should add before I put him make a final stage design? Braxis

hylain.jpgHylain Guard1161 viewsOk, I havent posted in a long time, but just to show that I am still working on zelda design, Here is a hylain guard. Nothing out of the ordinary went in to drawing this, but it did take quite awhile to get the armor to look right, and to look in a way that he wouldnt be too restricted to movement. I tried to keep the roman-esque feel of the hylians from oot, but also added thier own little style of armor. I decided silver armor and black cloth would look really cool, and the triforce symbol on the chest plate could be bronze, or gold. Hope you like it, comment any changes that should be made.BraxisApr 20, 2005

moblin.jpgMoblin1059 viewsHere we have your simple moblin warrior. I've been trying to nail one of these for awhile, but I always messed up when I worked on the face and tryed to 'pig' up his legs by making them bow legged. So I just changed all that. The legs are normal, aside from the ninja turtle like hoof feet. I just couldnt get the face looking as grim as I wanted it, so I just put a leather cap on him, which kinda takes any kind of individually of the character, and blends him in with the rest of his crew. Faceless if you will. Nice little touch for the evil war machine that is ganon's minions. I love his sword, I think it fits him perfectly, right down to the skull tiped pummel. Little things make this pic good, such as the skull neckless that you would reconize from wind waker, and the hylain shin-gaurd and gaunlet. It makes it feel like the moblins would just pick stuff off the battlefield, which suits thier characters perfectly. Everything else is just for show, but I like it, and I think it came out swell. Please comment.BraxisFeb 28, 2005

child link.jpgOOT Child Link (cel)1097 viewsThis is my first attempt at cel shading, ever. I was just trying to get the feel for the style, and colored it in paint, so its not the best coloring job in the world. This is a version of child link from OOT, with only the sword and the shield visible. Its kinda hard to not add detail to these pics. But oh well, enjoy...BraxisFeb 10, 2005
