islands_bg.jpgZunari's Homeland1208 viewsI'm just taking a break from modelling for now, and am playing around with a program called terragen. It's chief use is making skyboxes, but it can also be useful for artistic wallpapers like this.
The idea was to make a group of islands that would resemble Zunari's (the shop guy in WW) homeland, which is supposed to be all cold and snowy. Originally I had it much, much more snowy, but I decided it wasn't very visually engaging, so I severely turned down the snow and added plenty of rock and a little grass. In retrospect I wish I had kept more of the snow. Oh well.
I don't even want to know how many quadrilaterals this had, it took my computer 11 minutes to render.Koroks Rock

yelling3.gifYelling Back608 viewsi'm trying to get reinvolved in the Legends Alliance forums, so a new avatar was in order. this pic is the product of a very simple edit: instead of link just smiling into Ezlo's wrath, he's yelling back. It's so small as to be negligable, except that it completely changes the meaning of the pic.
edit= i decided it was worth animating after all. animated entirely in Imageready, which was a learning expirience. it would have been easier to do it in flash, but i need to familiarize myself with imageready. this actually took three tries to get it right, with just using imageready, and 5 uploads. bleh.Koroks Rock

fish1.jpgye olde FishTank instruction manual, tablet 1530 viewsJa. based on Link's Awakening offical art, idea derived from conversation in the Legends Alliance forums. tried to make it so that the edits are easily visible, but don't stick out badly.

explaination.swfWhy Zelda and Link always CoExist1639 viewsSoundless
270 KB
Flash 6
This is a short, small flash I've made using Minish and OoT official art (and a screenshot from the GCN movie) in an effort to humorously explain why there's always a Link around when there's a Zelda.
Note that I'm trying to set a basis for how to introduce flash, so people can know if they need to dampen their volume, or be ready for a long wait, or even have a compatable browser.Koroks Rock

hotness.jpgTwilight Princess Background893 viewsAnyone else think the new screenies are hot? specifically this one? i do.
Simple pic, all i did was crop the original a bit, expand the canvas, make two lines, and blend in the new logo. i did a little bit of color adjustment and added in a gradient so the two elements would go together better, but overall this is a very small change from the original.
good god i'm excited about this game.Koroks Rock

triforce1.jpgTrifoce Q2548 viewsIn my Zelda game, I use the Triforce as a switch sprite: ie, you find the triforce and the level ends --> find trifoce and door opens. It's one of the simplest models i've ever done, certainly the simplest I've done in q2modeller, the program i now use to model for my game.Koroks Rock

collage2~0.jpgTP Contest Collage1043 viewsSo this is my second attemp, i followed some advice graciously given to me by the other fanarters, thank you- collages are not my speciality but i'm willing to give it a shot. This time around the pic is much busier, with it's base material pulled from more sources. Still essentially the same pic though, I'm too lazy to completely redo it :)Koroks Rock

Noseplug.jpgThe Noseplug Incident893 viewsThis is a very old joke, one of my earliest pics. The idea was that Link, having been recently beaten up, has accidentally used Navi as a noseplug, because he's too bloodied to tell the difference.Koroks Rock

harshcomic.gifThe Harsh Comic1127 viewsHistory Time!
Way back in the day, before the Fall of the old Zeldalegends (ooh, how mythical sounding), there were wars. Terrible wars between the Fan Artists and the Spammers, fighting for the sanctity of the Gallery. They were know as the Spam Wars.
Leading the forces of good (the origianal Artists) were heros such as Imazeldagirl, Ganondorf, Hacker Z, IronKnuckle, Dan Heron, Obsessed_Zelda_Freak, and myself, just to name a few.
Leading the forces of 3vi|_ were spammers such as black_link and his many personas- white_link, red_link, green_link, gray_link, rainbow_link, etc. They sought to poison the gallery by posting unaltered official art and making irrelevant comments. No one was safe.
In an effort to fight the 3vi|_, Hacker Z and I began a campaign where we not only refuted the spammers with our commets, but also with our art. This particular picture is a compilation by me of several brave pics by HZ. I post this pic today in the aftermath of Rhyksha, to remind spammers what waits in the Depths of the Gallery.Koroks Rock

oot_sum.swfSumation of OoT881 viewsOnce again, this is a hyperspeed rendition of what happens thoughout OoT. I listed (most of) the items in the upper left corner as you get them, with a number of exceptions, mostly due to my inner lazyness. I also posted where/what's going on in the lower left corner, which helps clear stuff up a bit, and the trading game in the upper right.
I decided to use FireGS's Tal Tal Mtn song (from www.zreo.com) because it's a good song for this. Also, it's already an MP3, which means i don't have to rerecord it myself :)
Finally, i decided not to cut>animate the adult bosses because it took so much effort to animate the young link bosses and i wanted to stay under 1 megabyte.
This will be my last production until perhaps September: I'm going to staff at a backpacking camp for the rest of July, and then August is going to be pure h*ll for me, what with school starting again and having to catch up on other projects. I'll be back and commenting about August the 2nd, but not posting new stuff.Koroks Rock

stalfos_bridge.jpgStalfos' Bridge685 viewsThis is also from my Tut, this particular area demonstrating jumppads with a little "encouragement" from two Stalfos. the only excuse I could come up with for having a jumppad was to have a chasm you must cross, but the brige was broken (see the middle of the pic, over the blask chasm).
i'm afraid that the Stalfos is barely in the pic, but they weren't my goal, so it's OK. I was hoping to get a bit more of them though.Koroks Rock

split_wallpaper.jpgSplit Natures (wallpaper)831 viewsThis is a relatively straightforward edit to existing artwork that you can find on Nintendo Power magazines (or so i'm told. i dunno, i got it from zeldalegends). the tricky bit was trying to change the pic's proportions without distorting the subjects. i tried at some length to displace the bottom and top to the sides, but once i did so i realized that it didn't work out as a background.
so i scrapped it and went for the rule-of-thirds appoach you see here, twisting the existing side material backwards so as to give the user some space to put their desktop icons. i also tried to apply the sexy new logo, but i really didn't work colorwise. so i just stuck the name over to the right, mirroring the now-classic Unreal Tournament backgrounds.
So the root subject is not mine, i don't take credit for it, but getting it to work as a background was my effort.Koroks Rock

split_wallpaper2.jpgSplit Nature (redone)669 viewsthis is a redo of the previous wallpaper i did. as i explained on that one (though few seemed to listen), i deliberately have everything to one side. DELIBERATELY. For this one I've had to extrapolate the bg and also the wolf's neck quite a bit, which leads to the repeated patterns you see. sorry about that, but it's kinda unavoidable. i did remove the Hylian Crest and the text, to unclutter it, but i think that by changing the spliting line i recluttered it. oh well.
note that while this is not a perfect use of Rule of Thirds, \it's close enough for this purpose. think of it as Rule of Three Fifths.Koroks Rock

gone.jpgShe's gone...572 viewsMy second fanart ever, this particular image was drawn right after I watched the scene with Saria not being on her stump in OoT.Koroks Rock

|
Saria2.jpgSaria's Wrath916 viewsIn the old gallery many of us had fan fictions that we illustrated for. This particular scene is pulled from my own fic, in one of the pivotal moments.
Saria (yes, I took a lot of liberty with the shape of the kokiri) has just avoided rape by one of the Corrupt Gaurds, and is retaliating. That's the Great Deku tree talking up top. Koroks Rock

hand.jpgRough (smoothed) Draft for Gauntlet.594 viewsEver notice how ganon and link have rather similar gauntlets? i'm supposed to be making some stuff in my Independant study with 3DMax, so i figured i'd make one of their gauntlets. I'm not sure whose I'm making, but at this point it doesn't matter. Obviously, this model is still in the works, so if anyone wants to give me some advice, i'm open to it at entrunner7@aol.com, as well as here in the gallery. Made in 3DMax, image touched up in photoshop.Koroks Rock

redead_dungeon.jpgRedead's Dungeon775 viewsThis wing of the Tut is quite dark, and houses a fe Redeas and other such creatures. Hence the left side of the pic is altogether too dark to be much good, but that's the way things are. I'm looking up here, so we're getting the rising view of the ReDead, and the chains I have hung from the ceiling as eye candy. if you look to the right you can see an alcove in the wall which is revealed only at the end of the level.Koroks Rock

slingshot.gifQ2 Slingshot Wireframe567 viewsYet another screenshot from q2modeller, This one shows off my newest weapon, the slingshot. It's been a singulary difficult design, because of the reloading frames not working right, and also my pathetic hand-making skills.
All told though, I'm rather proud of it- it's been quite a job and i've gotten decent results. 59 frames of loaded and firing slingshot.Koroks Rock

Healthboost1.jpgQ2 Piece of Heart502 viewsThis is a simple health-boosting item in my game, but as you can tell, it is modelled after the life-expanding pieces of heart local to all the zelda games. it was actually quite a challenge to map out all the triangles without getting confused.Koroks Rock
|
|
QuadMask1.jpgQ2 Majora's Mask658 viewsThis is yet another 3D model I made for my Zelda game, using Q2Modeller. I'm using Q2 because it's the only 3D format my game engine will run, which is handy because Q2 is open source. Unforetuneatly it means i have to skin it seperately.
Anyhoo, the idea is to place the Mask frugally in high combat areas. Once the mask is grabbed it will give 4x the offensive strength to the bearer for a limited amount of time. Koroks Rock

hyruleshield1.jpgQ2 Hyrule Shield437 viewsThis is another 3D item i've whipped up, in direct emulation of the 64 version, just with a few more triangles and vertices. I realize it doesn't look like much without the skin, but it was one of my first Q2 projects, and I'm proud of it.Koroks Rock
|
|
gerudosheild1.jpgQ2 Gerudo Sheild621 viewsDirectly modeled after the OoT sheild, this 3D model is virtually vertex per vertex to the original. The only real issue is that my lighting engine doesn't support reflections, so the 64 version is infinitely better ingame. Do'h!Koroks Rock
