The castle under the crying king.

Castle under the crying king. Another addition to the Realm I'm creating. Imagined as a game in epic scale like Skyrim. I've been thinking about this world in my head for a year or so now and figured I would start doing thumbs and bring it to life. Spent a few hours on this today. Grabs the general idea I was trying to present. Didn't feel it needed the hours of detail work. If it were a real game obviously it would! I hope you like it.

Sketch

Had some time to spare. So I did this sketch.

Well waiting for a call from a friend I just sketched this up as well.

Zelda Majora's Mask Redesign: Link and Epona

The conclusion to my Majora's Mask redesign. At least for now. Many of other things to work on! As far as I'm concerned I hit a core area of Zelda Majora's Mask universe. I hit every race Deku, Goron, Zora. I hit the Villain Majora/Skullkid. The Hero and his trusty steed Young Link and Epona.

So Link and Epona were a lot of fun to obviously! I wanted the ability to customize Link to be able to use your shield or duel wield. If you have ever played Kingdom Hearts 1 you only get to use one key blade. In Kingdom Hearts II you get to use 2 and it is such an upgrade. I have always wanted it to be something you could do with Link. So I left Link and Epona for last since it would be a good goal to work toward. Having the last be my favorite to do. I honestly couldn't tell you what was my favorite though. This whole project has been a very fun and interesting experience. To redesign one of the games I grew up playing! A lot of fun. As well this will be the 14th year anniversary! As always I hope you enjoy the work! Thanks for checking it out.

Majora's Mask redesign: Zoras

Today I got the Zora's done in the Majora's Mask redesign project I've been doing.  It's been hard to get a few hours in on my own things between the contract work. The Zora's have always been a interesting race to me. They have always come off pretentious and snotty to me. They always seem to be closed off from the world. That helped in designing them the way they looked. I wanted them to be mainly creatures of the water. Push them even further from the other races in the land. They still have the capability to come out of the water if they had to but would have to more or less slither. More like the Naga's in World of Warcraft. Well I hope you enjoy. I'm hoping to get to young Link next. Keep you eyes peeled!

monlolith relics

I had a hour to kill so I threw some monolith/relic ideas together for AOM. Basically some simple statues reminiscent of culture the aliens had in the past. Kinda scattered around the world giving a feeling like Stonehenge.
