Description
July has ended leaving behind that zany coony girl Lola Henderson as Rosalina from the Mario series.
We now enter August where we take a look at the other major flagship Nintendo series that is 'The Legend of Zelda.'
And it seems I threw another curveball in which character I choose to represent the months.
That curveball comes in the form of the curvy Lady Elizabeth Tepes Malmsteen.
I know what you're thinking. One; shouldn't she represent October? Her birthday after all is Halloween.
Yes that's true. I got another calendar project going on at FA where different girls represent each month. She's been slated for October in that one.
But you know who's birthday is in August? Mine. XD Heck I marked it on my calendar. A bit much on my end? Perhaps. But it is my calendar project. Plus from what I checked there aren't any major holidays (major like Fourth of July or Christmas) during the month of August.
Plus I'm the one who created her. If I wasn't born she most likely wouldn't have been born. XD And since she's pretty much my flagship character, she represents me and thus represents my birthday as well.
And another thing; why 'The Legend of Zelda?' Why not other more gothic themed video games series like Castlevania or Darkstalkers?
Yes that's another curveball I threw. I did indeed draw her as Morrigan from Darkstalkers before. I liked to experiment with different characters as my own characters to dress as. Although this calendar series started out with Mai Ling as Chun Li; it kept getting more and more different as I went along. I felt like I wanted to experiment more.
So that being said, how come Midna from The Legend of Zelda?
I just think she somehow fits Lady Malmsteen very well. I mean I have her in her imp form right now as I couldn't fit her true form (spoiler BTW) in the pic as well. Midna also with those wide hips, fanged mouth and pointy ears also looks a bit like a mini Malmsteen. She also shares Lady Malmsteen's attitude I think; so playful and sarcastic.
Plus Midna like Lady Malmsteen is a ruler of her own people and her own realm. At least she was until she was ursurped and is using Link as a means to get her back on the throne.
And that's where the other element of this pic comes into play; Dudley Puppy as Wolf Link.
It's hard to imagine someone like Dudley who is so loud to be a silent hero like Link. But in wolf form as it was in the game at times, he looks pretty good. XD Although he isn't sure what to make of the mocking Midna in the form of Lady Malmsteen.
Maybe when I do a recap of the girls I used this year and redraw each of them as the video game characters they represent I'll draw her true form as well.
I wonder if I'll stick with the orange hair though. XD
So who's going to represent October then if not The Lady? You'll see. ;3 And when I do it'll actually make sense.
I hope you all find ways to enjoy the last leg of your summer vacation which is what August seems to be for many of you. XD
Lady Malmsteen belongs to me
Midna and Wolf Link belong to Nintendo
Dudley Puppy belongs to Nickelodeon

I actually think she makes a cute Midna, but then again, Midna's one of my bigger favs, so I'm biased XD
Again, happy belated birthday ^^

I honestly think she does too; hence why I took a risk to make my best known character dressed as another character no one expected.
I'm sure ppl thought I'd make her Morrigan or a Castlevania character. (I know in advance who the Castlevania rep will be in October.)
But I'm glad this paid off because I'm glad you agree Midna befitted her. And yes; I too like Midna. ;D
Thank you also for the belated birthday wishes. ^^

Intriguing mix of the Lady and Dudley for this video game crossover. Never played Twilight Princess, but the fact that Link turns into a wolf with a mischievous fairy-like being riding on his back is something the Lady would undoubtedly find amusing for Dudley, given they're in the same scenario here. Nice to know she still has that sexy laugh and hand gesture to her mouth, befitting of her vain ego, to say nothing of being a royal. She would definitely find great humour in the word "Twilight" being incorporated into the role, for obvious reasons. The only remaining puzzlement is Dudley being a wolf, as a grim reminder of how much she hates wolves, or rather werewolves. The fact that he's got a chain is giving her more devious ideas. It's definitely a mystery for the October month, given how Halloween-ish this whole image shows. Still, should be exciting for what is to come, just as the previous works have also done so. Thank you for sharing this, bro! Always good artistic entertainment.

I didn't think about "Twilight" until now. XD Well thankfully I was focused on Zelda only and not sparkly vampires. XD
Yes I think Link turning into a wolf does qualify him as a werewolf as sorts. The thing about the Zelda world is they never call them directly what they are. Skeletons are Stalfos. Mummies are Gibdos. Bats are Keese. And so on and so forth.
Also I drew Dudley as Jon Talbain from Darkstalkers once who is also a werewolf. While Lady Malmsteen was Morrigan.
So at the end of the day it's all fun and relates very little to The Lady's hatred for her werewolf rivals. XD
The mystery for October will keep everyone guessing who it will be. I can almost guarantee you know what game series will be represented that month. ;3 The question is which of my girls will represent it and what character will they dress as?
I hope when you find out it doesn't disappoint. ;D

Nice to see your birthday on the 26th

I will try and do Lady Malmsteen in her true Midna form at a point when I decide to recap all the calendar girls so to speak. ;D
I figured he'd at least look good as Wolf Link for sure. XD
