Description For the Link's Blacklist tribute at

finally a perfect excuse to draw LOZ saghsjdksdfda
Skull kid's battle wasn't my fav in TP (the other bosses are just too awesome imo ahaha), but I adore the setting in Lost Woods and this character's designs in OOT/MM/TP so I chose to draw him~ *u*
I managed to play some ALBW this year and that's the last time I've touched a LOZ game ;v;; I still don't know anything about Hyrule Warriors weeps
Thank you very much for looking~!

His face really looks like a cross of the Majora's Mask Moon and Emil from Nier (search it up if you want).

oomg thIS LOOKS SO COOL!!! I love the way he's caught mid-swing hanging upside-down from that tree branch; it really captures his playful, trickster nature and you feel a bit caught off balance and unsettled... the angle makes it seem like you were just walking through the woods and suddenly looked up and saw THAT leering at you through the leaves--!! The intense glowing eyes really stand out from his shadowed figure and rivet your attention, and the huge creepy grin completes his totally maniacal expression...!

I love how the composition is balanced, with everything feeling a bit tilted and off-center but still perfectly framed, and the sharp jagged edges of the leaves look almost like shock lines exploding around him as he bursts into view. The blowing leaves/swaying lantern and blur in the foreground really give the impression of his swinging motion; it feels like he's moving so rapidly and startlingly, it almost makes me dizzy and I can just see him in the next instant whipping himself up onto the branch and running off with a mocking gesture.

The detail in the shading and patterns is gorgeous as well, and the color scheme!! I really love the clear blues complemented by the dark oranges; the forest looks so hauntingly still and glassy and Skull Kid looks so ominous silhouetted against its light. The coldness of the blues adds to the creepy feeling of the atmosphere, like the forest is all frozen and dead but for this one vicious little imp running around.

I remember spending way too much time chasing him around in TP ahaha OTL the puppets were endless... the setting was really cool though! all hauntingly empty and ancient with the light glowing through the trees...

This is such a delayed response but THANK YOU SO MUCH NUT!! I'm sooo sorry for the late reply ghjfdhjks I don't deserve such an awesome comment omggg Thank you very much for taking the time to write out such a detailed comment, I love having it in my inbox so that I can read it again and again hahaha I'm so glad the tilted angle / composition and the colours worked well!! I really wanted to portray his personality through his expression and pose hehe *u* so I'm really glad you think the pic gives the impression of his swinging motion too! ghjnd you literally commented on everythingg Nut THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENT <33333333
AND YES I just looove Skull Kid's setting in TP, I initially wanted to go with a dark/eerie atmosphere as portrayed in the game to complement Skull Kid's mischievous look but ended up with a bright background haha >v>; I find the mini boss fight rather fun with the music and setting, but the puppets are annoying yes XD and the whole process of chasing him around can be quite time consuming T vT

YOU'RE WELCOME!! Β Awww I feel so honoured~! I've missed you heapssss too
I just finished final exams last week, so I'm freeeeeee! Β 
Oh!! I recently bought a small wacom! I was wondering what kind of art program I should use... do you have any suggestions???

anocurry In reply to SmartcookieX [2015-11-27 11:39:45 +0000 UTC]

Oooohhh that's awesome!! *u* Hmm I'd recommend Paint Tool SAI for drawing, Photoshop works well too but SAI gives you smoother lines ^q^ These are the only two art programs I use so they're my only suggestions ;v; SAI is good enough though and a lot of people use it. Hope you have fun with your new tablet!!! ^____^b

ALBW was a lot of fun- so was Hyrule Warriors. Great between friends especially (nothing says friendship like stealing one another's kills)

I just started playing MM again, so this was great to log in and see.

Just looks utterly purely gorgeous my friend, good to see your art again!
