The classic Links in my style!

Both are inspired by my favorite piece of concept art, it's kinda funny seeing him with such a serious face carrying all that stuff loll

Sketch:

First for the sketch I didn't wanna do anything complicated, just showing off the design. I've kept as close as I can to the concept art but ive given both of them items to carry inspired by my favorite concept art of og link.

Line:

Line art isn't anything special just paying attention to line weight and outlining the bigger shapes for readability

Flats:

The flat colours were first taken from the concept art, then edited, then blended w the original colours- I was just playing around til I found the colour I liked. The background is just a simple splash of colour, blue being adjacent to green and yellow.

Rendered:

I can't lie I did get a bit confused while shading this one because I was trying to figure out this new style I wanted to do. There's a layer of soft shadow using an airbrush then a layer of cel shading. I think I overdid the softer shadows with this, I should've done more with the cel shading but the piece doesn't look bad it's just not the outcome I was going for.

I still like this piece I think I captured the ages well and the attitudes Link has at different ages. Younger Link clutches to his sword more with a determination to survive Hyrule where older Link has his guard lowered more cuz he's used to the land by now.

Lemme know how you think I did I genuinely love hearing feedback and people's thoughts ^^
