melora_summerdays.jpgSummer Days987 views--Very Large File-Wallpaper Size--
Done for a little fan art event I was having at my site, this is just a bunch of the characters coming from the beach. I was tired of the fan idea that Malon and Zelda would be fighting over Link for some reason, so they're friends here AND ignoring him as much as they would be anyone else. :p I drew a quick sketch and did most of it in photoshopMelora

taurus_1680x1052.jpgZodiac - Taurus936 viewsI think I might try a zodiac series for my Sisters of the Heart fanlisting: http://www.melorasworld.com/soth We'll see how far I get! This is number one, Taurus with Princess Zelda. -Even though the colors and image is kind of based on another myth. It was going to be just a tiny quick drawing, but I don't know when to stop myself, so I ended up doing way more than I originally wanted. I know there are problems, comes from the fact that I WAS only going to do something simple- by the time I realized I was really going to work on it, it would have taken so much work to fix the really obvious ones. There's also the chance that I just got lazy one some things- or something. Done in photoshop with a tablet, it's wide screen wallpaper size, I'll eventually have multiple sizes up on SotH for downloading.Melora

melora_comewithme.pngCome with Me712 viewsDone with an Oekaki- a web-based Japanese Paint/BBS program.
Link and Marin from Link's Awakening (plesae no fighting/talk/etc.. over pairings, I'm so tired of fighting. It doesn't matter, it's just a picture) This was kind of inspired by the Ataru Cagiva manga that Anastasia and Beno are translating- you can find it on Zelda LegendsMelora

Welcome-To-Twilight.pngWelcome to Twilight699 viewsThe title doesn't make a whole lot of sense, considering it's day-time in the drawing- but it's late, I'm sleepy, and that means I just thought it sounded good enough. It is, after all, SLIGHTLY Twilight Princess inspired... I'm not on model at all though *lol* I didn't use any reference and it shows- but hey, I just wanted the *feel* of... whatever it feels like. Lets see, what else.... Oh, it was done on an Oekaki -one of those PaintChat-Like programs, I used a tablet, and it took 138 minutes. I was learning to use the program, it's different than Oekaki's I had worked on in the past, so I had to fiddle around a bit more.Melora

melora_capcom.jpgWatching her Hero640 viewsPrincess Zelda in the style of Capcom's remake for A Link to the Past. Her hands and arms are kind of screwie, I was just having problems drawing them that day. Drawn with pen, colored in photoshop. She should be sitting on a moss and fern covered fountain in a courtyard- but once again, I'm a lazy artistMelora

libra-1680x1050.jpgLibra579 viewsPart of my Zodiac series. Formatted to be a widescreen wallpaper. The map is a somewhat inaccurate LttP lightworld on the left and darkword on the right. This background killed me. I finally just gave up and called the whole thing done.Melora

Twilight_Winter.jpgTwilight Winter555 viewsKarma bit me in the butt; I was supposed to be working on something for my grandfather but instead I did this- and I managed to save over the large 1117 pixel wide one when I shrunk it to the 349 wide size it is now to see how it would look as a site header. *doh* I haven't done that in ages! I don't know how I didn't notice until it was too late. I was going to crop it and use it for a xmas card, but now I'd have to draw over it so I could make it larger again ;>_> *crap* I don't think I have time for that. So, anyway, yeah. This is it (*sobs and laughs at self*)Melora

melora_card.jpgHappy Holidays506 views(plesae no fighting/talk/etc.. over pairings, I'm so tired of fighting. It doesn't matter, it's just a picture)
I tried to make a festive picture of Link and Zelda. It's OoT style, but I was thinking of the old animation a little. I always hated that Link, but I loved that Zelda. I really dislike Navi's wings, I should have had them mirror each other. Done in photoshop and sent out as a card for my site, History of HyruleMelora

melora_aolmapfirsthalf.jpgWestern Hyrule452 views--Very Large File--
I have yet to do the eastern half, I think because I wasn't as happy with the style as I would have liked to have been. I prefer my original LoZ map more than this one I did for AoL.

melora_hyliannight.pngHylian Night452 viewsDone on an Oekaki program; that's like a Japanese Paint/BBS. I had to change the background a little in Photoshop because the sunset made it look like the tree in lake Hylia was on fire. (plesae no fighting/talk/etc.. over pairings, I'm so tired of fighting. It doesn't matter, it's just a picture) Done with an Oekaki- a web-based Japanese Paint/BBS programMelora

melora_easternpalace.pngEastern Palace438 viewsI wanted to try to flesh out one of my favorite looking dungeons from A Link to the Past. I kind of screwed up the floor plan though, ended up needing to look at a gif of the level. Done with an Oekaki- a web-based Japanese Paint/BBS programMelora

process.jpghuggles-progress430 viewsJust showing how I work from start to finish.
And since someone at DA asked me if I use anything special in Photoshop to get "this?" look, I'll post my reply:
I just use the flat round brush (I don't really ever use feathered edges) between 50 and 70 opacity and the size of the brush is usually between 5 and 19 (unless I'm filling in a very large area.) Sometimes I use the smudge tool to brush out/blend color areas, but I try not to unless I need too. I'll also, sometimes, put highlights or colors in another layer and adjust the transparency (I did that here for the shine on his hair-- because I just wanted to paste it on real quick.) Or use the overlay layer effect for shadows. Just 'cause that's all even easier to adjust and redo. But what I just described, the way of painting, it takes me a really long time. It's just the only way (flukes not included) I seem to be able to work :/Melora
