Description If I may speak candidly for a moment here.... I love this weirdo. I find him delightful and every cut scene of his just brightened my day. Hats off to the goddamned mastermind that wrote his dialogue too.

I got Skyward Sword for Christmas and I just have to beat Demise and I'll be done. I do have some pretty massive nits to pick with the game, but overall I really enjoyed it. I'll admit that the swordplay was pretty gratifying and worked well mechanically most of the time, but other than that, the Wii motion controls can still choke on my dick.

If I was going to do Zelda fan art, I should've drawn Fierce Deity Link, since Majora's Mask is one of the great video game loves of my life.

I knew Ghirahim was somewhere in Bishie-Lovers-Unite. It's to be expected.

HELLO BAAAAAAYYYYYBY.

Um. Yes. I love Ghirahim. He's brilliant as hell and I absolutely love your portrait of him. I do sort of feel like I should be seeing a little of his other ear, but maybe he's just tucked it up against his head. Fabulous work. <3

Thank you so much~ I'm glad you like it!

Haha, he really is fantastic, isn't he? XD I'm with you on the ear thing too. I thought it looked odd like that, but every picture I found of him had it totally hidden. Maybe I just didn't make his hair poofy enough to cover it. XD

SingularDisease In reply to Meiseki [2012-05-10 18:11:53 +0000 UTC]

Actually I just found out that he has only ONE pointed ear! D: Man, that is going to bug me FOREVER. I know he's kind of asymmetrical, but that just seems ridiculous.

Meiseki In reply to SingularDisease [2012-05-22 14:24:20 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow, is that actually true? D: I had heard someone claim that before, but I looked for the it the whole game and never saw it. I saw that he had two visible pointed ears in his final form., so I assumed they were always like that. You would have expected that would come up at some point in the game... I guess it's good that he keeps his hair over it, then because that would look pretty weird.

It's so annoying! I saw the model for him with his hair clipped away, and it is going to bug me FOREVER that he has only one pointed ear. D: As far as I know, there's no reason for it...except to aggravate me. xD

Yes, Ghirahim is fabulous. One of my fav villains now And his portrait
looks just amazing. His eyes are so life-like

Fierce Deity Link in your style!?!? That would be the best thing. In the world

Meiseki In reply to lalala2yaha2 [2012-01-29 23:03:29 +0000 UTC]

Thank you~! It was hard for me to draw his eyes as big as they really are in the game. XD

Haha, I actually did end up starting one of Fierce Deity Link. It's just a matter of forcing myself to finish it at this point. XD

lalala2yaha2 In reply to Meiseki [2012-01-30 03:06:14 +0000 UTC]

Your welcome! I can only imagine. His eyes are like

Whatever it takes to force yourself I suppose

Ghirahim definitely provided much needed comic-relief in Skyward Sword.
Excellent job! Love his eyes.

I don't really know this character but you've drawn him beautifully. The eyes are so gorgeous (I can't stop staring at them ) and I love how soft and smooth the hair looks. The highlights and shadows on the skin look perfect too~

Meiseki In reply to World-Inside-Me [2012-01-21 03:53:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! He's just an effeminate psychopath; that's about all you need to know. XD I like drawing characters like him with weird skin colors.

Ahh! I've had this since it was released, but still haven't been able to play more than two hours of it! Curse the Wii constantly being hogged for Netflix!!

...On another note, you have to cosplay Ghirahim.

Meiseki In reply to Devkyu [2012-01-21 03:43:42 +0000 UTC]

Ah, damn you, Netflix! It's certainly worth the playthrough if your console's ever free.

Haha, do you think I'd make a good one? I could go as Ghirahim and you could be Vaati, since they look so weirdly similar. XD

Devkyu In reply to Meiseki [2012-01-24 04:41:16 +0000 UTC]

Yes, we have to do this now. Time to bust out ridiculous amounts of theatrical paints! After that... troll all the Links. All of them.

Meiseki In reply to Devkyu [2012-01-29 22:56:19 +0000 UTC]

Oh god... white paint... white paint everywhere.... DX Lol, sound like a lot of Links are going to get snuck up on from behind. XD

Devkyu In reply to Meiseki [2012-01-30 12:35:42 +0000 UTC]

If there are any Zants or Ganondorfs running around, we need to usurp them with our ridiculous theatrical paint glory.

D: I have yet to actually play it.. and have only seen one thing on Ghirahim.. but from what I've seen he's quite possibly one of the best and creepiest things ever which is perfect!

From what I've seen though, the Wii plus was AWFUL. it caused a lot of user frustration from what I could tell by my friend playing it. xD

I love how the Zelda series always manages to put in a creepy factor.. and awesome delectable creepy factor >:3

Meiseki In reply to DragoonWarrior [2012-01-21 03:32:55 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I would've thought you'd be all over that one. XD It was a decent game that just got dragged down a bit by over-reliance on the useless motion controls. I actually thought there was something wrong with my remote during the first flying bits. Nope. Just shit controls. :/ It was a very good game, but I found the tone a little relentlessly upbeat compared to other Zeldas.

Ghirahim is pretty wonderful though. Glad to see Zelda embracing the proud Japanese tradition of creepy, effeminate villains. XD

DragoonWarrior In reply to Meiseki [2012-01-22 03:53:50 +0000 UTC]

haha i remember my roommate playing the first flying race. xD She was getting so mad cause the controls were awful. I think a few of the spider mobs were terrible too.. and at how sensitive the sword play was to slash the deku plants. It should have been called "Legend of Zelda: Wii Motion Plus" cause it was shoved down your throat so much and emphasized on so many of the enemies in which you had to kill. Actually, a lot of puzzles implemented it too.

I want to play it just for Ghirahim X3

Meiseki In reply to DragoonWarrior [2012-01-29 22:53:32 +0000 UTC]

Lol! I was so pissed at the first race. I could not make the goddamn thing work for my life. XD It went off calibration constantly too. They were way too proud of that directional slash mechanic too... which is nothing you can't do with an ordinary controller anyway. The harp playing was freaking infuriating too. I really wish they had just given the option of plugging in a Gamecube controller and using that instead. It really wouldn't have detracted from the gameplay. XD

DragoonWarrior In reply to Meiseki [2012-01-30 16:52:05 +0000 UTC]

omg.. the harp.. rofl.. i remember my roommate just randomly strumming it shouting "I R MAKE PURDY MUSIKS YES?"

Why even bother throwing the harp in.. if anything, it made the music playing WORSE.. which is shocking cause music usually has a strong basis in zelda games heh

Meiseki In reply to DragoonWarrior [2012-01-31 06:09:25 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I know, the harp didn't come into play until fairly late in the game and all you could do was flail the wii-mote back and forth at a specified pace to play it. It's like the developers got halfway through and said "Oh wait, Zelda's the one with the whole music thing, isn't it? Here, have a harp. But you'd better incorporate the motion controls, damn it!"

I easily got more frustrated with the goddamn harp minigame than any fight or puzzle in the entire game. xD

I figured as much. Feminine man lady who's campy as hell? It's like he was written for you.

I have a bunch of issues with SS too, but over all i agree, it was a solid game.

Also YES. Majora's mask is my favorite from the series, and a childhood obsession that hasn't gone away.

And back to your piece, you've totally captured him.

Meiseki In reply to Ageaus [2012-01-21 03:13:10 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I know, right? It's like I was subconsciously influencing the developers. XD His weirdo facial proportions kinda threw me for a loop.

Oh God, Majora's Mask... That one's by far my favorite too. They have it on Wii virtual console, so I may have to buy it to replay yet again. I love the atmosphere; it's just so surreal and amusingly creepy.

Ageaus In reply to Meiseki [2012-01-21 04:15:58 +0000 UTC]

MM is a perfect game, the time system- and the race-chaning is always a fun thing. There's always a constant reminder that the world's going to end.

I know~ The race transformations were all so cool. I loved all of the mask sidequests too.
