Latest===>
I'd like to know what you think. It's off course very W.I.P, but the first part of the sky is done, and the text is done.

Fantastic so far - The logo is looking great, very nice take on it.
The overall idea and portrait seem fine, perhaps make the forehead (or head size) a little larger.

Thanks, glad you like it. I agree on the head, I always place the eyes far too high on portraits,
I never seem to learn....

When are these smilies gonna be turned back to normal by the way? Halloween is kind of....over...

The logo and the background looks awesome.  :y:

There some things going on with links face though. The nose looks a little weird and he's got a massive underbite. His brows are furrowed, but the forehead doesn't follow.
Here's a quick and kinda sloppish edit. Hopefully it will show what I mean. Hope it helps.



What version of Link are you basing it on? Twilight Princess?

Thanks for the edit. I think I see what you mean, this solves it?

I think you still need to cut back the bridge of the nose, forehead, and the bottom lip so that it has a bit sharper of a line (when i think of TLoZ characters I always think of crisp silhouettes), as well as thinning out the mouth (for now)

Looking good so far, really want to see the water tornado detailed.

Here's the next update, and it should fix the face issues, I looked further into Luzeke's edit and came up with this:

Keep the c&c coming

Everything so far is sexy :D
I LOVE your face shading, it's really awesome.
I'm assuming you're gonna get rid of the black lines, so I'll wait and see.

Great writing and composition. Are his ears a bit smallish. i don't know. Cant wait to see how you do the tornado thing.
Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

Hmm, at the moment his face seems really weird to me. It's most probably because you're shading an anime-styled/shaped head with 'realistic' shading, rather than cel or whatever. I just don't think it works. Personally i like this shading style, so what i'd change is the shape of the face, give him a more realistic nose and an eye which looks less pasted on (eye also seems a bit high). The ear also seems too high and small atm.

I love the text and the idea so far. Good luck!
