Description A fair warning for you - this file is huge. About 4 mb huge. If you want to view the original size, pick the download button. A little sharper lineart for you.

I have been wanting to draw some Twilight Princess art for a while, ever since I first got the Nintendo Wii. It was also my first LoZ game, so it will always be a fav of mine. ( Ocarina of Time is good too of course )

This is mostly for the purpose of character study and practice. The first drawing is actually from late February. >>; One could say that there has been a lot of family distractions, artblocks, anime/gaming. But yes, I have found out that Midna is superfun to draw!

Some use the same poses from the game cutscene, players might recognize those, but most of them are freehand after I got warmed up on drawing them.

If I draw more it'll probably be minor characters.

PS: I was aiming to draw these in Wii version since that is the copy I own. If you want a GameCube version, then you can magically flip this baby horizontally.

soooo adorable. I've recently adopted a wee kitten...mm, I believe it's been a month since we've had her (and she'd about 7 weeks old now).

I saw in my inbox - omfg your little Tulu is so insanely adorable. She made em go AWWWWWW DAT LITTLE ANGEL, while sitting at work around other people lol. You'll want to take a lot of photos of her, kittens grow up so fast! Sadly we've lost most of our own photos when our two cats were as little as yours, the memories are so distant. >3>

Awe, thank you! x3

I most certainly will take a lot of pics! We mostly have videos of her playing. Hahaha but she's growing really fast. She was a stray, and she was in real bad condition when we got her: small amount of fur, skinny as heck, and she lost her voice from crying so much. She fit in the palm of my hand then. ;~;

She's progressed a lot since then. Though she can still put on a little more meat on her bones. She needs some fat! lol We're trying.

Aww!! Such a lucky little kitten! ;.;

Well my own cats LOVE to eat fish, especially if it's raw. So she may find a liking to certain types of fish too?

anwita01 In reply to cocohints [2011-08-23 18:09:21 +0000 UTC]

She certainly paws at my guppies in my tank. lol Love fish. Hate water.

Her interest is on chicken and beef. I prep the chicken like I would do to make broth/chicken soup---all the flavor included. She loves it. It's amazing how she's intolerant to milk. o.o

X3

My cats only drink water, they just have no interest in milk at all. But sometimes they like to taste food that is made out of milk for example yoghurt. (even orange flavoured.. the irony)

My one seems rather interested in...TEA. x3

My family's big on tea. Everytime there's a cup on the table, she's just to curious, sticking her whole face/head into the [empty] cup. Maybe I should just give her some and see. lol

X3 Oh, bless your kitten.. But maybe start out with ice tea first, you wouldn't want her to get burned.

Thankies! <3
I know right? X3 Almost an artistic sense brought by Twilight, alltho I will admit I always felt uneasy entering it during my first playthrough. Like running through it would disturb something that could kill you instatly, so you had to walk very slowly and quietly. *I always feel like that for anything new, lol*

Meant to put "wrong" in between "nothing" and "with" So very true, I always wanted a way to return Twilight to Hyrule since it looks SO MUCH MORE Beautiful in Twilight, no lie! X3

Maybe converting to Zant's side would help.

I wish there was a Dark Link in this game *other than the freaky vision you get at Lanaryu o,o*, when there was already much darkness in it. I once saw a drawing here on DA that had him lurk in Arbiter Grounds, a very great idea.

PEACETHROUGHPOWER In reply to cocohints [2010-09-18 03:01:54 +0000 UTC]

So very true, it is SUCH A DISGRACE indeed...! T_T Don't know if this is true or not but I heard a rumor from someone that you can see Dark Link in the mirror in Link's Basement in TP but I tried this but it seems to not work but I may not be doing the trick right but I can't see what is missing so this may be false. XP There should've been a Dark Link fight though as you say since I was SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT indeed, seriously...! T_T

cocohints In reply to PEACETHROUGHPOWER [2010-09-21 09:38:37 +0000 UTC]

Oh really? I haven't noticed, but the thought of him hiding in your own basement should be more worrying than encountering him in a desert temple. I'll give it a try! Apparantly you can't open chests without latterns, in the dark it is like running into a boulder. Maybe Dark Link will appear in the next game - had he been a final challenge in the cave of Ordeals it'd be most players' grave.


I did hear that you must never ever save your progress while in the canon room in Kakariko, because it would corrupt the entire file and you have to start over again. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I do not plan to put it to the test. I have had enough problems with corrupt save files on the PSP, no need to on the wii as well. >>

Have you heard of more secrets and bugs in the game? I remember that in the first Spyro games, whenever you were swimming towards an edge of a waterfall and dive right on the edge, you would be able to swim in the air as if you were flying. Much fun. XD If that was possible in the Zora's waterfall or even at Hylia lake...

Hmm... Yeah, that does sound good. Yeah, I heard from a guide that you must NEVER SAVE but only during the part where you go all through Hyrule Field and through the Deserts to collect the missing words that fill the Sky Book with the missing words but after you collect all of them it seems to be ok to save but to be on the safe side perhaps you should move the cannon to lake hylia to confirm the end of the word collecting so it officially ends that part.

And I don't know anymore major secrets for TP but I wish I did though of course and I do hope Dark Link returns in the next one since he's LONG OVERDUE for another fight in the TLOZ Series of course. ^^

Thank you - on the first one I only like how Midna turned out. Wolf Link looked.. stupid.. I improved on him tho. >3> Last picture was all about Midna giving into that kind of emotion.

COOKEcakes In reply to cocohints [2010-08-13 08:42:26 +0000 UTC]

:3 Your progression of ability to draw the character's is very noticable. You did some awesome practice, the last full pic of them must have been the easiest and fastest - no?

cocohints In reply to COOKEcakes [2010-08-15 12:32:35 +0000 UTC]

The easiest was probably Midna's shrugg moment, and also my favourite of them. X3 The most time I spend on everything I draw is to just come up with an idea that doesn't look too dull or stupid. Blank paper is a dreadful sight to be honest.
