smileylink2.jpgSmiley Link (PZ645 my version)1309 viewsSketch (original) done by PrincessZelda645 and she let me color it. I also turned the frown into a smile. *sigh* but stupid JPEG compression, if you look carefully you can see little squares. At least the file size is small. Coloring done with Fireworks. I tried to keep it kinda sketchy-feeling. It doesn't look sketchy anymore, but, it doesn't look too...computer-made. Did I mess up the eyes? I think I did, but that's me.dudeofrandomness

castle-fade.jpgcastle over seven years1290 viewsA simple idea fading Hyrule Castle into Ganondorfs Castle. Simple, yet, cool. Also notice how I faded it sort of day into night. Nothing too hard.dudeofrandomness

allLinksEver1.jpgLink through time2220 viewsI grabbed an official art of Link from each Zelda game (thank you Nintendo, and Capcom for the 4 swords ones) and put them all together into this. Its supposed to be a wallpaper (1024 x 768) but I think its too busy for you to be able to see any of the icons over it. Feel free to suggest how I could make it a better wallpaper or a better picture in general, I want to do something more with this.dudeofrandomness

ideastart.jpgPhaze 1 of awesomness2638 viewsI'm planning a huge scene off of this pic with tons of effects I have no idea how to do. The lighting was really hard because later I'm having a light from above and I had to remove the light from the right. I used a technique called "light painting" in photoshop, it was pretty sweet how it actually worked. The Link pic originally came from this IGN pic of link doing a backflip.dudeofrandomness

mirror-hyrule-shield.jpgHylian Mirror Shield1397 viewsI combined the hyrule shield with the mirror shield, quite simply put. Tricky use of layer masks (Photoshop, naturally). The smudge tool is now my best friend. ;-)dudeofrandomness

tpnewcollage1024x768.jpgTP collage/wallpaper (again)1198 viewsI do way too many of these. But I like this one a lot. Screenies + official art. As always. Fireworks. As always. Washed-out (blue this time) and sized at 1024 x 768. As I've recently done. Suggestions? (as always?)
<note>this was partially inspired by ganondorfs-girl in the pic where she compares zelda to hooded zelda. And then it turned into this</note>dudeofrandomness

zeqwboots.jpgfixed equipment collage1678 viewsFollowing some advice, I've fixed this pic so the mirror shield is more fitting and so are the hover boots. I deleted the other (inferior!) pic in favor of this one. I halfheartedly tried to remove the halos on the tunics, but failed and didn't want to spend the time when I could just use the excuse that it "adds effect" or something.dudeofrandomness

cloud-link.jpgcloud-link1658 viewshz/bth made this sketch and his photoshop crashed or something so I took the liberty of coloring it (That's ok, right?) I took quite awhile to color it, then at the last second applied a crazy effect to it, and it turned into this, which I thought was cool. It looks like an etching in stone that was stained the proper colors or something. He's supposed to be in the zora-tunic but the last-second edit makes it VERY dark. And the eye turned out kinda strange...not the perfectest job but I thought we needed something different than my usual stuff.dudeofrandomness

masterswordwithchars.jpgSword...with people...1502 viewsI haven't uploaded forever... xD well here you go people. I got sick of the desktop backgrounds I had, so I threw this one together. Quite simple, 4 official arts. Don't ask why Midna's there...I don't really know...it just looked cool. I chopped off the top and bottom segments and filled them with black instead...cuz I was lazy and didn't want to touch them up how they should've been done. Well, enjoy. And criticise all you want, but I'm probably not retouching this one.dudeofrandomnessOct 29, 2005

sketchlink.jpgTP Link in color1292 viewsSo the highlight isn't perfect, but its a step above what I usually do. This is a colored version of Michelle K's masterpiece found here.
I also borrowed the crest from a pic put up by Susie Q, though the only thing left of it that I used was probably from the official art anyways. I worked hard on the stupid eye, to make it look good. I even went and looked in a mirror to see what my own eye looked like just to do it better. And I couldn't think of anything cool for the BG so I just used a watery-lookin effect. Wow, I haven't uploaded for a long time.dudeofrandomnessAug 29, 2005

lmbigwlogo.jpgNew partners (better?)1603 viewsTook some advice and came out with this. And all I have to say is thank goodness for options like "screen" in fireworks. I barely had to touch the logo to get it in there nicely. Thank you, Macromedia! And are the edges smoothed out enough? I lost the original fireworks file I did this in, so it wasn't as easy as it could've been, but I think it turned out alright.dudeofrandomnessMay 23, 2005

allLinksEverWashedOut1.jpgAll Links Wallpaper1551 viewsI revised that one and now I think its more wallpaper-worthy. I tried to take everybody's suggestions and it turned into this! Any other suggestions before I send this to LoS?dudeofrandomnessMay 16, 2005

z05newChars.jpgZ'05 new character!?2914 viewsSo I was looking for better quality scans of the new screens for Z'05 and what do I happen across but new official art! The one of Link isn't new, but look at Zelda HOLDING A SWORD! What's up with that? And then there's that other guy, he looked like the bad-guy, but his skin color is too light to be Ganondorf...then again...if you look closely right under link's hat tip on that guy's cloak is a Sheikah symbol. Yeah. Fireworks for work, Zelda Universe for the source of official art. (and of course I had to add in the sun and moon from the screenshots).dudeofrandomnessApr 27, 2005
