Description Well... here's the kickoff to my gallery. I could certainly ramble about this piece... I've been working on it since mid-Summer and it's become a child of mine in some respects, but, well, I'm sure that'd just bore you to little bitty pieces, so I'll try to keep it short.

These guys here are the seven sages from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, plus Sheik because... well... because. The line-art was done in, seriously, eight or nine minutes by my best friend ( ), who is a phenomenal freehand artist. I'm still a little shocked that he asked me to color this, especially since I spent a good twenty minutes making fun of every little flaw I could find, but I'm so glad he did. Working on this has brought my coloring skills to a whole new level.

Colored and Edited in PSP 6

I like the fact that the characters look realistic instead of just cartoons which is very interesting. Awesome coloring job!

gah! I tried to create this piece myself! All the sages I mean. But I failed horribly! Thank you for making it XD
I can't even see it, my computer doesn't allow it, but based on the thumbnail I'm allowed to see, it looks amazing! And i saw ganons posse too, also amazing!

Thank you very much!

In your defense, I didn't create this piece all by myself. I had my friend's awesome lines to work from! But thank you all the same, both of us are glad to know our work is being enjoyed!

Wow! Your friend is an amazing artist to have drawn this so quickly~! and you have superb talent when it comes to colouring. Zelda looks beautiful - I particularly love the golden swirls on her gloves and dress <33

Really, just... wow!

Look, I hate Zelda's boobs in this picture too, okay? I drew it in pen in like ten minutes, as a sketch. Gimme a break.

snowtato In reply to Elphaba-Boy [2007-01-16 16:22:38 +0000 UTC]

lol. I'll take half the blame. I probably could have shaded them a little better so they didn't look so... unnatural.

Yeah, well, I don't have many run-ins with breasts, being a flaming homosexual, you know. There's only so much you could have fixed.

Thanks! Both my friend and I worked really hard on the gold swirly texture on her dress, so I'm glad someone noticed it!

"because.. well because"
OF COUUUURS. Sheik always has to be in every OOT picture <3. jf;ljakljdsfakljsdflkje

your coloring looks really great (: for some more stuff on skin tones try using blues/purples/greens in shading depending on the light and stuff. you did some really nice techniques with the satin type fabric of Zelda's gloves <3333. and then the metals look really great too. I have some problems with the line art (zelda's cleavage line..f kaujklfjd) but you didn't do the line art so <33. this is really nice overall, i'd like to see maybe some more muted tones and some overall color combos, if that makes sense. I know all of these characters are brightly designed and stuff but if you use a similar type of color to shade + highlight it can really pull a piece together (:.
I really love how you colored.. the zora princess (*totally forgot her name, probably because I didn't like her*) not exactly sure why. great job <333.

snowtato In reply to star-pie- [2006-09-24 05:03:01 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for your helpful comments! I was thinking about using a greeny-tone to shade all the characters (it looked great on Nabooru) but I just kind of got lazy. But you're right, that's what ties really amazing pieces together.

lol. Yeah. There are quite a few little flawlets in the lineart... especially in the cleavage department, but we'll just chalk it up to it being drawn by a male-thing.

male-thing xDD.
yeah, it humors me how lots of guys can't draw boobs. at all. (ITSAYSALOTABOUTTHEIREXPERIENCEWITHTHEM. jk)
yeah, I get lazy all the time, I completely understand. I usually forget about the whole different skin tone thing myself even though I always end up telling other people to do it ):.
