Description Playing Twilight Princess influences the titles I give my artwork.
This tree might not truly fit into the color scheme of the Twili as they are grey, black and neon-greenish, but the golden yellow did remind me of the Twilight Realm anyway.


This is the companion piece toΒ  , both made with the same scan. I like this one even better, I think.

You made that poll about what our favorite artwork of yours is. I think this might actually be it.. I love your Zelda art, I love the wind fish in colored pencil and Link riding Epona at sunset with Midna's shadow, but this one might just be my favorite cuz it's really beautiful.
The colors are beautiful, and the branches too. I love this one a lot.
Would it be all right if I use it for my phone?

I hope you just went ahead and used it, because if you didn't I'd feel bad for replying you so late. Of course you can!

I'm glad you like it! I'm also really happy with the result, just because it's so different from the other things I in my gallery. Although I'm not sure I can really say that as my gallery is already so varied.

Whoa that's very cool! Love the shiny effect on the tree. It's really great how it stands out from a dark background. I think it'd fit in the Twilight Realm if just there were shown a forest like place. May I ask what tools you used? This looks quite interesting.

Must say just today I got the Twilight Princess HD and even I had watched tons of trailers the graphics still surprised me! I know this sounds weird but I could stare at Epona's eyes forever haha. What a great improvement! I'm getting used to this "original" version as I've only played the Wii version and it feels a bit cofusing as everything is mirrored.

Thank you very much! I'm also very happy with the result. Β 
It's mostly Photoshop tricks, actually! It basically comes down to this: I started with the same drawing as inΒ In The Shadows Β , put some yellow watercolor texture over it using Screen and Multiply, and then copy the original drawing to a new layer, invert it and put it on top on Color Burn. Then I erased the tree from the top layer so the white would come through.

Oooooh, Twilight Princess HD! I don't have a Wii U so I probably won't play it in the near future, but that's perfectly fine as I still have to finish the Gamecube version (I'm about to enter Hyrule Castle).

So the graphics were even better than you expected? I have to say I watched a trailer or two too but I wasn't too excited, but I also think that the original graphics were already quite nice. Could also be because I'm still playing the original. Β 

The mirroring must indeed feel very weird! When I'm watching a gameplay video of TP for the Wii I also have that 'huh? Oh yeah it's mirrored' feeling. XD I guess I would constantly run in the wrong direction to get to Kakariko.

No problem! Oh, mixed techniques? That makes it even better, then! I love that colour burn tool, though I don't use PS. It's very handy.


I've never played the Gamecube version, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't stand it after those other versions I have seen. Even if it is the original. XD

Yeah, even I watched those videos over and over again they couldn't show me the awesomeness than what it is to actually play it and see those graphics yourself. I still ended up buying it as I thought that those videos may make it look a bit less cool. I'm glad I did, now my gameplay has mostly gone like spending a lot of time in one place just because of the details. And it's fun to read those Twilight scripts. ^^ I found this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE5u-s…
perhaps you see what I mean. (If you looked closely you may have noticed they have even added some more details or changed some in the Wii U version. Like that mark on the wall behind Midna in a scene where she and Link meet Zelda and Midna floats in the air. In the Wii one there's that usual Zelda mark but on the Wii U one there's a little more detailed mark. I wonder what and why that is...? Did the original Zelda mark look too boring/simple?)


Now I'm wondering: Do I ever manage play the Wii version again after this? The Wii U version kind of contains the both versions as the Hero Mode is mirrored, though it's said to be a lot harder.Β  Gah, why they ever made the mirrored version! My head is getting dizzy all the time when I want to draw something TP and always have to decide which version I wanna draw...
That wasn't a problem for me, but to find a way out of Kakariko was a pain. I always ended up on Graveyard.
Oh nice! I want to get there too (mostly to see how the details look XD) but I'm only going to the second dungeon.Β

I must admit, now I watched that video surprised me a I see what you mean, not only the textures are more detailed, they changed certain things too (for the better ). I guess it all really comes to life when you play the game. And then to think I had actually the chance to play the HD version at the booths they installed at Dutch Comic Con! If my only sister was a little more patient with me!

The change of that Royal Crest is indeed really strange! In the Wii U version it's so subtle, so easy to overlook. Maybe they thought that the original Royal Crest stood out too much? But it's still really weird.

I can understand! For me, I'll just stick to what I know.
Ah, yes, the Graveyard. That place still gives me creeps. I guess it's even worse in HD! Arbiter's Grounds must be soooo great..

They sure are worth looking! Oh nice, you've at least got a change to play it. Just recently I made a remarkable found in the shop in Hyrule Castle Town that sells expencive stuff and the rupee tunic. Can't remember the shop's name. Anyway. SPOILER WARNING, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
...


There was... four paintings of the trailer images we see in Zelda Wii U!!! In the largest one we can even see (knowing the trailer) a tiny picture of Epona! I'd say that's a kind of connection at least if nothing else.



SPOILERS END HERE!
Haven't been in the Arbiter's Grounds yet, but we'll see. ^^

Really?! I remember those paintings! In the GC/Wii version they just show Epona and a Ordon goat and such things. If I'm not mistaken the same paintings hang in Link's house, so you should check there too!

TheStarlightPrincess In reply to Saskle [2016-04-26 14:15:40 +0000 UTC]

I checked there when I started the game but I only saw the same pictures of Epona and Ordon goat. I found a video from that shop in HD version (skip to 0:50 if you want to see the shop straight away.): www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvFs3t…
In that reamake the whole Hyrule Castle and its town has gone crazy in some parts. As you can see from that shop. They've really managed to change Hyrule's image as well. I was stunned of those details when I walked in there. I can even see both Hyrule and "Lorule" Triforces on the pillars.
Not sure about you but to me one of those statues remimds Rauru.

I can tell you if I find some other hints. ^^

The amount of details is outstanding!Β All those patterns and ornaments!Β  Β 
At some parts it looks a little weird on those low-poly pillars, but I feel like nitpicking now XD

And indeed the Triforces of Hyrule and Lorule.. I love little details like that! I think that's Rauru too, it looks as if he's holding the Master Sword at 1:47, don't you think?

More hints please!

Aww, I'm really happy to hear that! I always felt that a lot of my pieces are a bit rough, so any improvement is very much welcome!

I like to picture this in the Twilight Realm. I know in the game the palace is the only area shown due to it being a dungeon but I kinda wished they expanded more on what the environment was like there. This makes me picture what a forest in the Twilight Realm may look like and it makes me really happy that you were influenced by the Twili scheme.

Saskle In reply to kookygadzook [2016-04-05 21:13:49 +0000 UTC]

Happy to hear you like it! I'd love to imagine what the rest of the Twilight Realm looks like, too. But I kind of understand that you don't get to see more of it, they probably ran out of space as Hyrule is already huge and story-wise it isn't needed anyway. So it's all up to us to decide what it would look like!
