Description I was petrified.

Oh God that felt dirty to type. But the awful pun was =kthxplz 's fault, so blame him.



Anyyywayyy, it's 4:30AM and I've been working nonstop all weekend and need sleep so if this doesn't make sense I'm not to blame.

Finalized entry for 's art contest! This is his OC Link, who I'm to understand has an awful habit of getting herself into all kinds of messy situations like this one. >O>; Inspired by this avi - Though I forgot to draw the sword in the end, I'm too tired. >o<;; [link]

I like to think Link was minding her own business, adventuring in a dungeon somewhere when something or someone (*::coughLinkettecough::*) caught the poor thing by surprise!

Technical stuff, tl;dr basically


(I'd like to think it's come a long way from this atrocity! [link] Resized the wings because they were too cluttersome. Still think she looks like Samus.)

Can I have my weekend back now? Cause I think I spent the better chunks of four days on this. @__@;; But I am super, super proud of it (which means I'll hate it in a week).

As I already said in the wip, I'd never tried something like petrification before so it sounded cool. o3o;; <33 Hope I got it right!

All textures and references made by myself~, though I looked up a LOT of cave stock for ideas on how they looked, cause I had no idea. XD;;

Piece of advice, when shooting your own stock photos, black tights and high heels DO make for a lovely silhouette, but if your room has sucky lighting, it'll be a pain in the ass to figure out, later.

3000x3000 dpi. @__@; Never again.


Anywho....

Art, textures, lost time (c)

ENJOY AND FULLVIEW! I hope it goes over well. ;A;

Very interesting spin on the petrification idea. Great use of theme and color and nice figure. The stone effect is wonderful as well as how the figure is caught mid transition. A nice, nice piece.

I've always wanted a mid petrification pic and the first time I see Link in the bikini armor. The setting for the picture looks great.

For the first time trying something it looks great. Good job overall and good luck.

Sorry for wasting your weekend OTL

Ahh, I'm glad you like it! I thought mid-petrification sounded the most fun because I could get really mystical, lol.

Thank you. <3

And lol, no no, don't worry about it! I was just tired so I was being cranky. XD I learned a LOT from this piece and really enjoyed myself.
