Your art is so cool, I love the craftiness of it. What are all these mounted on? It gives such a greater feeling of "relevance" than just a regular flat drawing..

Thank you so much for your nice comment ^.^ Sorry for the uber late reply >.< I use wooden plaques for my painting--they're small and very inexpensive (I usually pay around $1 per plaque at any craft store, depending on size). I'm glad you think my art looks so lively That's the impression I hope people can get.

Hey there! ^^ Thank you so much for the comments and watch! Sorry it took so long getting back to you.

Right now, I should be able to squeeze in a commission or two alongside the Christmas gifts I'm making, depending on what you'd like me to make; I remember you saying you were interested in my Spoils Bag, which I'd be happy to sell you, I also have a variety of plaque sizes to choose from. Please let me know if you're interested in a certain piece or if you'd like me to do a custom one, and I'll get back to you about pricing. [Please bear with me; I have a lot of gifts to make and haven't exactly come up with a price list for my art yet ^.^;;]

Thanks again for your time and interest!

Ohh it no problem...

I can imagine how swamped you are with gifts & commisions!! Yes! I am interested in the Spoils Bag, but I am wondering if you can possibly create a slightly bigger bag in a different material possibly? I you can't I TOTALLY understand. Take your time with whatever you need. There's no rush!! Your art is so cool by the way ^_^

Thanks!!!

Wow, your compliment blew me away! Thank you so much! ^_^ I always enjoyed coming up with things that are both creative and functional (or feng shui-able?). The Spoils Bag REALLY comes in handy, even as a small purse ^^ Really, thank you for all of your kind comments! *beams happily*

You're welcome! Feng shui-able! *lol* Good word(?). That's be such a cute purse too. Oh man. This makes me want to make it so badly. Currently I have a really clunky metal DS case that takes up a lot of room, so I need something like this a lot.

I can't wait to see more things to spark my DIY-ness. *lol*

DekuPyro In reply to BenjaminBattington [2007-10-12 15:42:45 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thank you so much! What a great compliment! I really appreciate hearing about the authenticity of my artwork. ^^ Zelda fans unite!

As of right now, I plan on selling most of the art in my DekuPyro gallery at ConnectiCon 2008; aside from it being my first Artist Alley, I find it much easier to start these things way ahead of time. However, if there are any pieces in my gallery that you're particularly interested in, or if you'd like to request a commission, I would be more than happy to negotiate! I am pretty new to selling my art, but I'm sure we could work something out if there was anything you had in mind.

Feel free to contact me at my e-mail address (above) and we can talk further about this. Thanks so much for your interest!

No problem! You did a gorgeous job of capturing every little detail of her costume; I can bet that was tough, considering I haven't found any TP pictures as detailed as yours. You must have a great eye! ^_^ Long live LoZ! *raises sword above head*

bratchny In reply to DekuPyro [2007-08-30 07:12:06 +0000 UTC]

It was touch, but I found a quite big picture of the official Zelda art, but even then the details on her armour where so small, so I had to zoom in on that picture to try and get it right. I like putting detail in my paintings, so I did enjoy it, even if it was annoying
Haha, speaking of raising the sword above your head, I find it amusing that every time Link will find say, a Joy Pendant, or fill his bottle up with water, he always raises it, like it's something absolutely awesome, even though in Wind Waker, there's a shitload of water everywhere, haha. Maybe he's just a grateful kid.

Wow, kudos to you! I love people who are so committed to detail. Beautiful work once again! I took a gander at your gallery and journal, and all I can say is WOAH. XD. You rawk! I'm so happeh to find another Zelda fan ^_^

Oh, you love that noise too, eh? Baa naa naa NAHHH! You found ___! That's my favorite sound. I enjoy making that noise when I find something around the house I've been looking for, or just generally acquire something.

bratchny In reply to DekuPyro [2007-09-01 18:51:32 +0000 UTC]

It's always great to find another Zelda fan, even though there seems to be a LOT here, and indeed the world! I'm actually pretty new to the series, but it doesn't mean I love it any less - it's gotten me back into video games, all I used to play was Mario - and while they're great games, they don't have that puzzle and brain work-out aspect to it, not like Zelda. I sometimes feel myself getting a little bit smarter every time I play one

I love that noise, it's the signiature Zelda sound I don't do that sound every time I find something special, but I do hum to it whenever I play, like in Wind Waker just before, I was getting some Triforce maps and every time I opened the chest, I was like, "Dah-dah-dah-DAAAH!"

Speaking of which... fuck the Savage Labyrinth! I didn't die or anything, but my hearts got low a couple of times, luckily I had potions with me and some of Grandma's elixer soup. Ahh, I love that place, though. You get to kill a lot of shit
I also took some photos of three enemies for the figurine gallery, but try as I might, I won't be getting the special Link and King of Red Lions figures, because I forgot to take a picture of Cyclos when he appeared =[
I know, it's a lonnng process, but I wanna see if I can get as many figurines as I can, also they're really good references for drawing Have you tried to get many figurines?

DekuPyro In reply to bratchny [2007-10-04 23:44:48 +0000 UTC]

Sorry it took so long to reply! Yes, I know exactly what you mean about the Zelda series being good for puzzles! I always get that lil' (or huge)twinge of glee inside when I move something around in the right order. Especially when it takes me 10 times. XD

*lol* The Zelda noise is just pure win. I tinkered with my Gmail Notifier a while back and got it to play that sound whenever I get an e-mail! It's pure fun, lol.

You're actually the second person to complain to me about the Savage Labyrinth in a profane way, this month! *laughs* I do agree, though, fuck it. Although, it is a great thing to do when you need to get anger or stress off your chest! Nothing's more gratifying than opening up a can of whoop-ass on some Chus. I don't remember if I have many figurines, actually! I'm tempted to go check, but my friend's currently borrowing Wind Waker from me and he lives about an hour and a half away. ;_;

Hey you! Haha, that's okay about the late reply, feel free to pick up where we left off any time.
I'm looking SO forward to Phantom Hourglass, can't wait to see the new puzzles they have in store. I bet you're gonna buy it, or you have it already? If so, how do you like it so far? It comes here in Australia on the 10th, and I've preordered mine, and I also get this sweet gold case with it
How did you get the Zelda noise to alert your Gmail? Tell me! That's a great idea!
Y'know, I might just take your advice, and go at the Savage Labyrinth for pure stress relief. I've only ever gone through it when I had to progress through the game, but nothing's stopping anyone from going there again, so yeah, I'll do it again before I face Ganon
I'm playing Twilight Princess again too, but I always stop and wait a couple of weeks before I face Ganon in that one... I dunno, I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat and wait til the last moment to get the (triforce of) courage to face him in any game

Ooh, get your mate to mail you your Wind Waker so you can whoop some ass!
I'm currently working on another Zelda painting, this time of Tetra, but she's gonna be a realistic style, I don't think I've seen her portrayed that way before, so I'm excited to finish it and show it on here. I'll tell you when it's posted and I hope you'll check it out! Talk to you later

DekuPyro In reply to bratchny [2007-10-22 17:34:59 +0000 UTC]

Hey! Listen! XD. How have you been doing with Phantom Hourglass? Nngh, I put that game down for a while to go back to OOT, sadly. I needed a break--I was at the third or fourth Ocean King Temple playthrough and just about lost all my marbles. x_x I'll be going back to it soon, I'm sure! I'm almost finished with a PH piece featuring Linebeck and Link; I swear, Linebeck is like my new favorite character. XDD

I know you were asking about how to get the Zelda noise for your e-mail; I have a Gmail account, and I know there's a program you can download called "Gmail Notifier," which sits on your taskbar and lets you know when you get a new e-mail. First, you gotta download that (assuming you have Gmail). Then, you go to this website: [link]

That site has tons upon tons of Zelda sound effects you can use from all the different games, and I think they're all in WAV format. Once you save the sound effect to your computer(in this case, it was under "Ocarina of Time" and "Weapons and Items"), you then go to your Control Panel in the Start menu, and I think you go to Audio. On that long list of sound effects is one for your e-mail, I think;you hit "Browse",select the Zelda clip (wherever you saved it to), and apply that. I THINK it should work after that. ^^

I know what you mean about delaying the inevitable final battle with Ganon, haha. Part of me didn't want the game to end so soon, but the other part of me was just chicken. XP. I just got finished with the Shadow Temple in OOT and I was a wreck during that whole experience, haha. That just totally rubbed me the wrong way, in terms of creepy. The boss was cool, though! I realize it's been a while since you posted that message; have you beaten TP since then? Unghh I'm on my third playthrough, I think. Such a gorgeous game. *_* Savage Labyrinths are indeed great for stress! Might I add, it also makes the workday go by a LOT faster imagining all my customers are Moblins and Bokoblins..XD

I just saw/commented on your Tetra painting--it came out amazing!! I've never seen her drawn/painted as a young adult before, but it really fits! Great job!
