Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

[ArtAvenue]

I almost never do fan-art, but I decided to give it a go for once, and I’m glad I did! I really loved how this piece turned out, I tried to take inspiration from the tears of the Kingdom concept art and replicate the painterly style, the composition is completely my own.
Believe it or not, I haven’t played the game, I just don’t have time for video games, but I always loved the Zelda series for it’s art and character design, and will always look towards it for inspiration. I really liked the new designs of Link and Zelda and the design of Rauru.

I’ll note that Link’s new arm is on the wrong side of his body, that is because the final image was flipped from the initial sketch. I ultimately preferred the composition from this direction so I decided not to flip it back. Enjoy!

Very Quality and Well Designed image! I enjoy creating original characters also rather than fan-art, although there are so many existing characters to love that how can any artist not pay homage at some point?

Thanks so much! I’m glad you like it. And you’re absolutely right, there is nothing wrong with paying homage to your favorite artists and characters. In fact, as artists it is something that we should do, just to pay respect to the things that have inspired us.
