I've finished!
Thanks for the comments on the work in progress, EtherealMog, ZeroOtaku, and Chole!
First oC4.06 picture! Yay! I think I've almost got all my brush presets down.. just gotta practice with it a bit more.
LOL there's like a bajillion light sources. It really hurt my head to do this picture, trying to envision how each element is affected and the angles and blah too much thinking

... I really don't have the ability to view things like that.
NYARGH CAN'T WIN THIS WAR ON FANDOMS.
Here's the warning: I am not a fan of the LoZ anything as I've never played any of the games. Please do not feel it is your obligation, or your meaning in life to say that "this environment does not happen in the game!" or "this monster doesn't appear in this level" or "when he fights this monster he doesn't have that sword" or "his gloves are missing the finger holes" or "you missed x design on his boots" or "his tunic is the wrong shade of green" or "the blade of the skeleton should be angled at 79.5 degrees..." You get the point. I hope it reaches through those thick-skulled individuals whose brains have been so saturated in high concentrations of fandom they get tunnel vision. I recognize that not all "fans" are like this, but the extremists get on my nerves and thus ranting results. In most of my fanarts, I'm usually not even a fan of it -- why should it matter to ME if the designs are perfectly recreated? If you want to see perfect recreations of your favourite fanart shit, do it yourself. World's not worth trusting anyway

I absolutely know what you mean about lighting hurting an artist's head-- but, can't tell you had any difficulty at all here. It looks amazing. Great job!

OleanderVyce Says:
I love the coloring on this--especially the highlights on the folds of his clothes. It's very well done. The details on the skeleton are awesome, btw.
