Description
Pretty happy about this one. And it took me long enough to finish it... Anyway, in case you can't tell, this is the almighty Link for the Zelda games. I don't like the way he's portrayed. He's always some happy little dude who just so happens to kill everything. Well NO MORE! I think he should be more badass... He should be evil. So this is Link with a bit more attitude... I mean... what's up with this little Link running around nowadays? A disgrace, I tell you...He's supposed to be walking up out of some dungeon after totally owning every enemy in there.... Yeah.
About the title. I was having trouble coming up with a title, and I was listening to some music and "Just Got Wicked" by Cold came on, and I was like " Hey that kinda fits..." So there you have it.
Comments/suggestions welcome.

Ho...ly...SHIT! Thats awesome! Of course we'll never see Link like this in a game but still!

Ahh.. a badass Link *swoons*
Love the gritty gravelly feel of the harsh pencil marks. And also thanks for making Navi more then just a glowy ball with wings. And as an anatomy nazi I will say that that knee that is up and facing us is terrifically done. Bravo for knees they are ridiculously hard to do.. well for me anyway.
Really the only crit I might be able to come up with is that I feel like I should see some of his thigh on the raised leg, the way his tunic is draped it looks like he doesnt have an upper leg. -But that is getting super picky, its a great piece.

Hurrr...awesome X3 I love the detailed style and how you drew his face..the extra details on his outfit look superb, especially those cross-stitches on his hat and all the extra earrings. Really nice job with Navi too, I've never seen her drawn that way before XD I think most people are too annoyed with her to pay attention to drawing her nicely.

Holy crap, yes, this is just..yes, wow. ahaha. this is exactly what he should be in the games, not the happy little thing like windwaker. Thanks for delivering the real link to us.

This is a image not often seen, Link looking like and intense badass. Its great to seem him looking like he actually has a chance against Gannon.

This is Link as Link should always be. Awesome job, my friend. The faerie just looks great, too.
And c'mon, how could anyone believe that such a pussy blade-and-handle as is usually portrayed could be the all-ass-kicking Master Sword? I like yours better.

It's fantastic! It's like I died, went to heaven, Link was there, and then he killed me again! But I was totally cool with it cuz...l just...HOLY CRAP! Beautiful! Why didn't I go here sooner when Diedre told me too? What a fool I was! Such a fool. WindWaker's animation did suck, but I love the smoke in that game. Very Samurai Jack-ish. Evil Link would kick ass. And he should team up with evil Sheik. Like one of those seventies detective shows, with the partners that hate each other in the begginning, but then thy're like, best friends...... Sheik with an afro....*shudder*

FUAAA!! Hello fellow cross-hatcher! This is a great piece.. I really don't like to comment on fanart, but it's different enough to be anything, really.. ^_^ The only thing I thing is that his nose is a bit crooked, but that could be just the shadow..

Hmmm... *nods head in agreement* That corny little elf should be more badass, because all the hacking and killing is too much for a innocent pointy-ear.

what is up with little link? thats a really good question. nintendo should like retire whoever made link into a lovable little bright green kid. You Rock. They should pay you just for this. Like... Money. okay i'm done rambling now..

This is a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong ways away from the Windwaker. A mere shadow of this kind of Link came out in Soul Caliber II for the Cube, but they kinda ruined it with the Faery Shield he gets. Anyways, i think this is like a pencil version of those dudes who make those fantasy calendars. Well, except that for once the subject matter isn't some scantily clad womyn. I would like to reiterate EVERYTHING people have said before but with a special note to his kinda long face. It kinda excentuates his fatigue and frustration after having to deal with those dang ocotpus thingies that shoot those orbs at you.

wow... simply awesomeness!
The way you're using your pencil is really loveable!

^_____^ Badcreepy Link is sexy....
this has come a long way, and it looked good from the beginning ANYWAY.
he is often portrayed as a little weenie elf-boy with super sword skills, but I like him this way better....
can you IMAGINE a game where he was like that?!?!
holy hell!
like...a whole game with a TALL FREAKY LINK.
*spasm*

OMG parker... wants to get sexual with grahams picture
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It'd not so much the picture as what the picture represents, I think. Indeed, Link is quite a badass, and a man can say something sexual about him and still retain his heterosexuality. Not that I say sexual things about Link. But I mean, even if I did, it wouldn't be bad.. because Link is a badass.

OMFG!!! That's absolutely awesome...+faves, totally!!! holy CRAP, man...that's one of the best i've seen in a long time. Damn, you are soooo fricken good. I am honored to know you, Graham of great drawing power. ^^ That's awesome.

I love this work. I think the face could be just a little bit better but that hardly matters considering how well this whole piece was done. A very true to life Link, I mean come on, one doesn't run around an entire world slaying things left and right without becoming very muscular and slightly grim. I mean how many times can you slaughter a horde of monsters before you just stop caring?

*gaspseizuredie* i LOVE this. just...mweeeeee. But...i dunno I think he really seemed happy in the game (i've only played ocarina of time and majora's mask....neither of which i ever beat O___o) i think he seemed kindof sad really, but...hes a fairyelfthingy...aren't they supposed to be sortof calm and peaceful? shut up anne. you dont know wht youre talking about.

wow, really nice shading job

*steals your pencils and tries to absorb the talent from them*
This picture is amazing! I can't imagine the amount of time you must have spent shading and adding details *_*. And you certainly capture the whole "Evil Link" thing, with his expression and pose...I certainly don't want to be the one he's glaring at there ^_^;; *adds to faves*
