moon_vs_sun.jpgMoon vs. Sun2374 viewsMe trying to use new trailer pics again. (I really like that wolf by the moon pic, and I'll probably use it like 10 more times) Due to the random appearence of the wolf in the Z'05 trailer, I decided that link had the power of the moon or whatever, so yeah. And he's fighting that lava guy (who turned out horrid, at least his face did) with the sun behind him. Yeah.dudeofrandomness

mlhugeproject1.jpgTribute to Magalink2641 viewsML's done so many good pics, I thought I'd throw some together into a collage. (I hope that's OK, ML, just say the word and I'll take it off if you want). All of the pics are totally ML's work and she totally deserves all the credit ;) and I'll just be happy that I could help. The file size is larger than I usually keep my jpegs at, but it was hard to cut down on this one with all the color information to store. The only thing that bugs me a little is that there's all the random sizes of heads and stuff. Oh, and let's all say a big horray! for ML because her crisp drawings and the magic wand tool made this put-together a breeze.dudeofrandomness

mirror-hyrule-shield.jpgHylian Mirror Shield1396 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

smileylink2.jpgSmiley Link (PZ645 my version)1307 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

twolinks.jpgOni Link and MM Link1578 viewsI put this together from two official art pics (surprise, that's what I always do, credit to Nintendo if you couldn't guess). I originally just wanted to give Fierce Diety Link a better background but I ended up doing this instead. Nothing too complicated but it turned out quite cool I think.dudeofrandomness

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.dudeofrandomness

awesomewlevels.jpgHero of Courage, Wisdom, and Power2128 viewsPhew! This took forever to do, but I'm extremely satisfied with the result. The scene is supposed to be Link receiving all three pieces of the triforce (Zelda and Ganondorf are dead or something, notice they only appear as reflections beside Link's). Lots of work, lots of lighting effects, lots of satisfaction. Whad'ya think? Note especially the lighting on Link, with the blue and red, not to mention the water...dudeofrandomness

TrunksLink.jpgAttempt #13091 viewsFinally, I reveal a work in progress. I haven't had tons of extra time, so its taken forever...but here it is. By all means NOT the final product, but I wanted to see what you all think. If you didn't know, it's Magalink's picture of Link that I've messed around with. The best is yet to come!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

tpnewcollage1024x768.jpgTP collage/wallpaper (again)1196 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>dudeofrandomnessMay 24, 2005

lmbigwlogo.jpgNew partners (better?)1602 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

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.dudeofrandomnessMay 13, 2005

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.dudeofrandomnessMay 03, 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
