Art Notes:
I actually made this Zelda template and started inking the outfits back in 2016, but never finished it.
Fast-forward to now, I’m currently experiencing I guess art block or more likely depression that’s keeping me from being productive with my other art projects. So I decided to go back through my old files which happened to be some Zelda wips and saw this piece. This is actually one of three sets that I had sketched years back. The other two sets are nowhere near done, but the first only needed the last outfit inked. Idk, It felt obtainable to me so I decided to go back and finish this since I’m not getting any good progress with my other projects. This just seemed like the perfect baby step to gain back some confidence right now.
Anyways, I did update the base face from what I had originally, because I wasn’t satisfied with how that looked, and finished inking the last outfit. Then I erased the base where the clothing would go then merged the layers. Then for tumblr viewing convenience I copy pasted the individual outfits to new canvases and then colored them there. I’m not the best colorist. I tried my best, that’s best I can do.
Art:
The first outfit was loosely inspired by a cold Gerudo dessert night feel.
The second outfit was me going for a LOTR elf feel.
The third outfit I was going for a high priestess
The fourth was just me messing around with the original Twilight Princess design.
The last outfit was inspired by the ancient armor set in BOTW, LOTR elf armor, and maybe a little bit of samurai in there too.
Bases/Templates:
Here's the group and individual templates that cleaned up just a little, if anyone would like to use them to make their own clothes. Feel free to use the lineart if you want to color it yourself too. All I ask is that if you’re going to submit your versions somewhere to give me credit for the the lineart and/or the template/base. 2016!me would appreciate that very much♥
