Link!

This is 'Ocarina' Link, it's all Photoshop. Hopefully I'll have more work to post in the not too distant future!
I find that apart from the Wind Waker version of Link I essentially draw him as the same character no matter which game I'm depicting him from. I'll try to make a conscious effort from hereon in to have a bit more of the various versions' individuality show through.
I'd like to try drawing some more obscure Nintendo characters too but at the moment I'm playing so much Twilight Princess that most of my output's related to Zelda!

Midna!

As I'm unfortunately too broke to buy a Wii at the moment I've had a really hard time trying to track down Twilight Princess for the gamecube. Thankfully I finally managed to get hold of a copy a couple of days ago and I must say I'm loving it. Zelda is probably my favourite videogame series and I rate Ocarina as the greatest game ever made. I'm only starting out on my quest at the moment but so far I'm loving TP, the atmosphere is incredible and the level design is classic Zelda but feels brand new! Here's a quick colour job over my Midna sketch, she's got a very different design to what I'd usually associate with a Zelda game but it's very fun and quirky too.

Welcome!

First off thanks for stopping by, this is the first Blog I've ever bothered to create but hopefully it'll be something I'll enjoy doing and other people enjoy visiting. I've been a fan of plenty of art and animation blogs but I was always concerned that if I started my own it'd get left to collect virtual dust, mostly if I couldn't find something interesting to post. In the end I decided that I always manage to end up drawing Nintendo characters so why not use that as the basic structure for a blog?
Hopefully knowing that I've signed up for this will encourage me to draw more and improve my draughtsmanship in the process.
Anyway, without further ado here are the first drawings to go up!
They were all done this morning with Pentel blue's.
