[Art] The Hero Link - Take me away

Gee, I think this is my favorite of your drawings! It's got a great effect, and it doesn't mess with my perception of who Link is. The only, slight, LITTLE problem I see with this is (and I know I nitpick, but hey) that his hair and hat would go UP if he was falling down, which, by the look of the rest of him, he is. I'm sorry I seem to not like any of your pictures--I do. If I didn't, I wouldn't take the time to critique, right? Right. so, just FYI, I LIKE your stuff. I just like reviewing and nitpicking at things. Especially the stuff I love. When I can't find something to nitpick at, I feel a little dissatisfied. So, jsut to let you know, I've really enjoyed all this. I hope you get something out of this, too.

    Wow Skire you've left me a lot of critiques. And I have no way of thanking you since you didn't leave your email address. =( Well if you ever get this message, thank you for all of the critiques. I like it when people point out the mistakes. That's how we learn.

      Thanks! I wasn't sure you'd reply. I'm not as good or experienced as you, but I Do know what I like. Thanks again for replying (and no, you don't have to reply to this).

    Unless he was just starting to fall. Then it would be like you'd drawn it. Hey, what do you think of the Wind Waker design? I thought that the monsters and items were a lot more subtle than in the other Zelda games, but the people were ugly as sin, therefore messing up the game for me. I could almost live with it if they just kept Link's feet, but they didn't. I think they subjuected him to Ganon's torture chamber:
    Ganon: Talk, you worm!
    Link: Never!
    (Ganon proceeds to chop off Link's feet and inflate his head with a bicycle pump...)

      Actually I hated the Wind Waker at first when I saw the first screen shots. I refused to buy it. Then my boyfriend got it and I watched at how amazing the animation was. For the first time, Link actually had expressions. It's the only Zelda game to date where Link actually has a personality. In the other games, his range of expression was so limited but the Wind Waker was really a step forward. I love the game for that and I also love the style of it as well. Link's face could be a little better but he's still cute.

        Yeah. The monsters have this really nice subtly creepy design, and the effects animation is brilliant. The smoke is really fun to watch. And, if you throw a bomb in water, you get this really cool effect; there's a sort of a geyser and huge explosion. If the people had just looked nicer, this game would have been practically perfect. If even Link and Zelda/Tetra had looked nice and everyone else had been kept ugly, that would be great. I think the best-looking person in the game is Aryll because (a) she's a new character and you have no clue what she'd look like otherwise, and (b) because LITTLE kids like Aryll ACTUALLY look like that. Link's about ten or eleven--maybe twelve! He can't go wandering around with chopped off feet and a blown-up head! I agree, he SHOULD look cartoony, but if they gave him feet the appeal would be there. It just ISN'T now. The thing I think I liked best that they changed on this game was either the Great Fairies (who were just hideous previously) or the use of either a really great synthesizer or real instruments. Or both. They also had really nice arrangement. Not as good as Ocarina ofTime, but hey, what IS?
        Oh, P.S., in case you were thinking I'm some kind of professional, I'm not. I'm just a bored kid on Spring Break. Bored and hungry. It's a good thing It's almost lunchtime.

        I want to nitpick too!!

        Actually, in LoZ: Ocarina of Time Link has atleast one expression and that's scared (going as a kid to the graveyard and finding few zombies/animate deads in one grave...) it gives certain personality, don't ya think?

        If i recall right, Majora's Mask also have few expressions BUT it's ages since i've been playing MM, so i can be wrong...

        Oh, well... I'm on a ongoing guest to piss people off...
