Blind the Thief

***Cosmonautical*** · 04-03-2010, 08:07 AM

I started this sometime around a year ago, just finally got around to finishing it up. Thought you guys might dig it:

I figured someone ought to do Blind some justice, since he was such a memorable boss to me, and I've never really seen any fan art for him. :3

Holy crap, AI, that's incredible. I love the lighting, and the many awesome textures, and the attention to detail...Very well done. A++.

**Cravdraa** · 04-03-2010, 10:29 AM

Hey, cool. You actually finnished it.

Awesome. All the lighting is done perfectly, and the boss looks really cool. Also, you should draw Link in that style more often, it's really cool because it reminds me of the old Zelda art for the first three or four games.

***Cosmonautical*** · 04-03-2010, 10:53 AM

^ Yeah, I was going for that effect, kind of like the LttP art in the german player's guide. I'm happy to hear you think the lighting is spot-on, because it started off pretty awkward, actually. Since my original design didn't include the hole in the roof, and I actually started on the background and floor before changing my mind to include it, I had a hard time pulling it off.

Chaos Deviot · 04-03-2010, 11:07 AM

That is freakin' awesome. I wish I could draw that well.

***Ace Mercury*** · 04-03-2010, 11:17 AM

Nice. Reminds me of the official Zelda art back in the eighties, especially the texture of the flames.

ZeldaGirl · 04-03-2010, 01:18 PM

Wow, that is unbelievably amazing, AI! My jaw dropped when I saw it.

**Crazyswordsman** · 04-03-2010, 02:03 PM

That. Is. GORGEOUS. I am now going to bow down to you and do whatever you wish. -CSM

"This house used to be a hideout for a gang of thieves. What was their leader's name... Oh yeah, his name was Blind and he hated bright light a lot."

Love that boss battle too. Great pic.

**Valigarmander** · 04-03-2010, 04:04 PM

Awesome.

Now draw one of Blind in drag.

**Deku Trii** · 04-03-2010, 04:12 PM

Very nice. The lighting is particularly impressive.

CuccoLady · 04-03-2010, 05:04 PM

I already commented on how much win this was, but I feel this could actually be official art for the game because of how remarkably detailed and epic it is.

Nice job.

***CaptHayfever*** · 04-03-2010, 10:54 PM

That scared the crud out of me, partly because I'm unfamiliar with Blind.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

**Deku Trii** · 04-04-2010, 12:27 AM

I'm not sure I'm correctly reading the way Link is distributing his weight. Is he leaning on his left leg a bit, or is he in a squatting sort of stance?
