Have Courage

Wow. This pic took waaaaay too long for how not-complicated it is.

This was suppossed to be a gift for someone, but I won't be seeing him, and it did not come out well enough to be a gift, although I do like it. I am bad with shading, but I guess I'll get better if I actually create environments in which I have to practice it.

The things in the back are Keese, and are only there because without them, the pic was dangerously unbalanced, not that I know anything about that or anything. I think having them makes the pic a little bit dark and scary, which is not what I wanted - I wanted to put sleeping Keese hanging by their feet, but I'm too lazy.

This took about 20 hours, if not more, spanned over a week and a half. Ow.
Done with Photoshop - Entirely using a Wacom Tablet (no pre-existing sketch, 'sketching' and 'inking' took most of the hours, actually, lol)
It's not entirely finished yet, either, I just couldn't wait to put it up. I could have spent 20 more hours on it fixing the (ugly, dull) fire, and adding more to the background...but there is a limit to my patience, and I suppose I have reached it...

This piece, besides being an attempted gift, probably stemmed from my subconcious desire for a cute-yet-serious Zelda. Not too cute like Wind Waker, but not too serious like Twilight Princess. Somewhere in the middle...but...it doesn't matter what I want, I don't want Nintendo to go losing money just because I'm picky - go ahead and do what you think is right.
