[Painting] Before the Final Battle in Hyrule
#1
It's been a lot of time since i last painted. With some pomegranateloads of tests every week, i didn't have much time to think about it, plus the fact i needed to buy some brushes, a canvas and some extra paint.
But this weekend i had a lot of inspiration, bought the things, and started painting again. For the next 3 days, i have painted a lot, and had a pretty damn high amount of effort to finish this.

Took me a total of something close to 20 hours, as i not only painted the things with the brushes i have bought, but have done some apparently insignificant details, that from dot to dot, made a huge difference. Used a toothpick and a wooden skewer to do those details. That range from little stars, flames and lightning effects, to the symbols on Link's shield.

Now i see that the time i've stopped painting actually helped me to get enough patience to do it, specially for the fact i had a test just a few hours before i finished it. It was actually worth all the damn hours, and all the hurting on my back right now. :>

Whatever, this is how the final result looks like. Taken on my bed, because it was the best place in my room to gather appropriate lightning for the picture. :>

That's meant to be Ganon's Castle, if you're trying to figure it out, i know it doesn't really look like it, but there's the fact i didn't really remember the structure of the castle, nor used any reference image , since i wanted something different and new, guess that was the price i had to pay for it, plus the fact it's design has changed within the games, why not change it once more. :o

These are some of the details i've mentioned, i'd take some more pictures of it once my cellphone battery recharges.

Too bad the colours are kinda dead, because of my cellphone camera and the lightning by that time. Sorry for that. :C

Amazing job. I always love seeing your artwork. How long did it take you to paint?

Amazing as always. I'd love to see it in person... the detail looks incredible.

@Nalek, nearly 20 hours.

Thanks Jon, Devil! :>

@Nalek If you mean the amount of hours through the days, about five or six in the first two, and eight hours in the third day. Thank you! :>

I would buy this, and it would be above my bed in an instant.

Ever consider doing commissions? :f6:

Never thought about it before, always done these just for fun and as a form of practicing and improving my style. :o
The comissions would be pretty low too, considering the fact i have no "name", and not a very high amount of artwork to be shown and base it off. :o

@_@ Ok, I am now saying that you try submitting this work for the next iam8bit show. This is EXACTLY the kind of work they would use. (Not to mention they could help sell it if you wanted to sell it)

Also, I dont know what kind of camera you have, but it would be worth it for you to try and get a higher end camera to document your pieces. But, there is the whole moneys part that that entails.

Also, what are the dimensions and the type of paint used?

Hah, Thanks guys! ^___^

@John, it's like 80 centimeters x 60 cm. Just acrylic paint, the most common ones, nothing moar. Just used various brushes, and for minor details, a wooden skewer. After that, got the toothpick and made some extremely small details with the white paint to make the lightning in there. :o
