Description A collab with super-talented super-fergus !


Lovin it, I really think he brought out the african in her I was talking about!

Copy paste:

No, she doesn't have a big oversized lower lip, that's a lip ring!

This is a pen sketch I did when I was listening to some middle eastern sounding music.
Eventhough the Ganondorf origin comic will be going nowhere for a while, I can still do some designs for it, no?


When I think of Gerudo's I think of strong proud attractive women. So for their look I thought it would be nice to put a little African in their appearance and facial features, and mix them with arab.

this is very pretty. But I always thought she was supposed to be Persian/Arab not African... Still - cool artwork!

I love the artistic license you two took with this. It is realistic, believable, and incredible beautiful. Very good thinking with the racial blending; it suits the Gerudos perfectly! ;__;

SWEET! Nabooru is wikkid.

Mix African and Arab and you essentially get Ethiopians.

I... I... I can't even explain how much I fucking love this!

More people need to draw her not looking all "cutsey anime." Just brilliant! Great work

K-MaleenVisla [2010-10-28 03:24:09 +0000 UTC]

This has got to be my favourite rendition of Nabooru that I have ever seen. The beautiful drawing, the earthy colours and even the texture of her clothing just grabs my attention and keeps my eye roaming and following the details. Even the way the background was rendered seems to add to Nabooru's personality and her Gerudo blood. I absolutely love this! Insta-fave ahoy.

Well I have seen it, I honestly don't know what to expect from this game now! Definately not what expected, but I love the new focus on the sky and clouds. In some ways it does inspire new ideas.

Inspiration? and what if they hint at something like an Heir the triforce of power? because at the end of twilight princess he did go kaput and the triforce did fade meaning the goddess gave it to someone else

I actually see the Gerudo as Arab or Indian, not African XD

Iroas In reply to pyrasterran [2010-03-15 17:35:21 +0000 UTC]

Well me too actually, but putting a little african in her,like a bit of egyptian, would fit their strong feminin attitude in my opinion.

LuisaRafidi [2010-03-08 22:24:40 +0000 UTC]

Very nice redesign of Nabooru! Although I always saw her as a mix of arabian and asian, not african I'd love to see a full body shot.

Iroas In reply to LuisaRafidi [2010-03-10 21:49:57 +0000 UTC]

Asian? I actually always thought ofthem more as arabian and latina. I just took them into a new direction,it's what I like to do
I chose african because african woman seem more imposing somehow, I thought tht would be a nice fit. It's more a version of them my own.

LuisaRafidi In reply to Iroas [2010-03-10 22:58:28 +0000 UTC]

Oh, latina, really? I said asian because they (both Gerudo and asian people) have big noses, and latins don't. And I know where you're coming from about african women. Well, I like your version of Nabs

Iroas In reply to LuisaRafidi [2010-03-15 17:39:56 +0000 UTC]

Hahah,I didn't really mind the nose actually The latina part has a bit to do with their spicy attitude x). And thank you, like your stuff as well
