Description Here is my entry for

Oh god! I wasn't even supposed to participate. I had no idea of what to draw until yesterday.

I looked at many Byzantine Fashion pictures to draw this design (Byzantine clothes are definitely my fave... so many jelwels and precious stones and beads everywhere!). I wanted to make something different and yet, that fits with the whole Zelda style

Sorry for the crappy arms and hidden hands...

Anyway, I am really happy with the result

You know, this outfit reminds me a bit of Zelda's scrapped Wind Waker design. But you've done it so nicely! 8D I love all the pretty ruffles and frills, and the red color is just awesome. (As always, the hair is AH-MAZING.)

You've done a great job, Arya!

The colors are bright and soft and amazing <333

How beautiful! I love the way you used the reds and pinks together. The patterns are simple and elegant. The jewelry and fabric really add a lot to the design without "overloading" it. My favorite part is the hair. It's different from anything else I've seen

You got everything right here, that's for sure It's hard to get such strong colors to work well together, but you make it look easy.

I think this is one of my favourite designs. Very awesome. Kind of a LttP kind of flair? Maybe? Because of the color scheme and stuff... But also very original. I really love it. <3

Ideya-Freak [2012-03-02 01:55:04 +0000 UTC]

This is an incredible design!
The use of layers in her skirt is a concept I have not seen on a lot of Zelda characters outside Zora. It looks really good and really elegant without being too much. The use of red and off whites really tie it together, and the unique jewelry is a nice touch! I especially like the belt, as it reminds me of Skyward Sword.

AryaMaya In reply to Ideya-Freak [2012-03-02 02:57:32 +0000 UTC]

Wow! your comment really makes me happy I didn't think about the Zora style at all while drawing it, but now that you tell me, it does remind me of Rutela

I worked a lot to find the right way to draw her skirt. I wanted something original and yet, it had to fit with LOZ style. I wasn't sure about the layer idea but now that you tell me you like it, it comforts me

As for the jewelry, I love drawing gems and weird accessories and I was inspired A LOT by Greek/Middle-East type of jewelry

And I definitely drew that belt because of SS Zelda

Ideya-Freak In reply to AryaMaya [2012-03-02 05:31:51 +0000 UTC]

It does really work! And it is really impressive because your design has a lot of elements that can be tricky to pull off together, without being too much.
I can see a lot of those inspirations! It was a good choice too, since AlttP Zelda had similar jewelry.
And woot! X3

This design is AMAZING.
All the details and gems and folds-it's stunning!
I looks like you incorporated ideas from a lot of games and added them to one dress-it's really amazing.<3333
LOVE THIS.
I'm sure you put a big dent in competition.
Best of luck to you!
