Fanart time?

A piece I did for the Paint thread earlier this year. I worked so hard on it and it didn't come out that well.

You remembered me of one of guns n roses songs =3

I've finally gotten around to playing Spirit Tracks.

I must say, it starts a little slow - I thought it took way too long to get the freight car when NPCs were complaining and asking for freight to be transported since the beginning of the game.

The overworld/train parts are pretty boring, but I really enjoy the dungeons, and the Tower is nice and challenging.

Overall, not too bad of a game.

Sadly, the train parts never get any less boring, though the dungeon design steadily improves throughout the game. And the Tower is much, much less of a pain than in Phantom Hourglass.

But, bunnies!

in the ending it gets less boring but you only have something like 2 minutes more in that fucking slow bitch.

 

[MalpercioGoC]

I'd love to do all the sidequests and track down all the bunnies and whatnot, I just can't muster up enough willpower. I'd rather just blow through it all and get to the next dungeon/boss, tower segment, etc. At least the soundtrack is enjoyable as well, haha.

God, Lakebed Temple just took me 2 hours to finish. But now I can rejoice! The game gets super awesome from here on out!

Uh Lakebed was awesome. Plebe.

Eh, I just found it waaay tedious. Same for pretty much every water dungeon in the series.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Wind Waker was nice and easy, 'till now. I forget where the ice arrows are, so gotta go around the whole great sea, 'till I find that damn Ice Island. -_-

Don't have it, lol.

Get it. You need it.

Technically I don't "need" it, but its suggested I get it (;

I just don't want to fight the damn Frog Deity -_-

And how do you plan to get to the Queen of the Fairies so she can give you the Fire and Ice arrows? Climb? ;P

 

[Anth0ny]

If only we could play every water dungeon like this:

I loved Great Bay Temple.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Why, of course. I'll climb it...somehow.

Sigh...better end Cyclos then....

Speaking of water dungeons, let's not forget the wonderful Swamp Palace from A Link to the Past:

You do swim through water a bit and have to reroute the water, similar to Lakebed in TP.

 

[shadyspace]

ST is the one Zelda game I'm safe in saying I'll never replay. Not unless someone comes up with some sort of hack to warp to every destination at will. That train was the worst shit they ever put in these games, bar none.

 

[Chet Rippo]

Flat on the Ground - Purple
Jumping above all - Red
In the back - Blue
Looking to the right - Green

AMIRIGHT?

Yeah.

This is really good, looks fantastic. I love how they all look in style for each game and how well they flow together. I hope you colour it because it deserves more than black and white

It terms of critique though...
...

But otherwise, fantastic job! And now your art's really gotten me in the mood for drawing....

Thanks, I greatly appreciate the feed back!

Lucky it's sfw Zelda

I suppose since the cats out of the bag I might as well show the Zeldas then too.

To say that I'm disappointed with how TP Zelda came out would be an understatement. I need to either tweak it or completely start over with her.

Not much to say here. OoT and ALttP Zeldas are probably a little on the short side, or FS and MC Zeldas are too tall.

I just kinda guessed on what AoL Zelda looks like. Couldn't find a decent official picture of her. The dress just looks wrong, I'll need to work on that more.

 

[Mistle]

I apologise if you were trying to keep the Zeldas under wraps until completion, I didn't realise.

Regardless, those are some fantastic sketches. You really catch the spirit and character, can't wait to see how it all turns out.

EDIT: Do you have a DeviantART account or something similar?

SS Zelda truly is best Zelda.

You're hiding too many cats Chet, let em all out.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

If you put Tetra in this pic instead of cancer Zelda then this would have the best three in the series by far.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

SHOW ME GANONDORF CHET!

Those are the only two Ganondorfs I've done. Not sure if I will do anymore of them.

Hey, now.

sweeeet, chet rippo art. i love me some chet rippo art.

Someone was concerned about spoilers, so I'll spoiler tag my Twilight Princess Dolphin playthrough screens and comments.

Spoiler

I finished the City in the Sky, and it ties with the Temple of Time as my least favourite dungeon. I knew there was something up with my memory of the place, which was both extremely vague of it's layout and not entirely sure if I originally enjoyed it.

While the dungeon has some good ideas, and the dual clawshot is way too cool for school, the dungeon highlights a lot of the tedium I dislike in Zelda. Its too slow, and bland to navigate in my opinion. I also think it brings to light some of the fiddly mechanics of Twilight Princess, particularly the automatic jump and the terrible grapple vine collision detection. Mostly I found the dungeon a chore, and couldn't wait for it to be over. The boss fight is pretty neat, but like all the others far too easy.

SCREENS! There's quite a few of Hyrule Field and other locals here too, taken during the pre-City in the Sky statue quest and such.

If you want to see my screenies of the above, click away.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I didn't really care for the atmosphere for

Spoiler

City in the Sky

... but I didn't mind the puzzles. I think the second half of the dungeon is much more enjoyable though.

The boss battle was absolutely AMAZING though. One of the best in all of Zelda.

 

[Anth0ny]

Yeah the boss battle was definitely awesome. Dungeon, not so much.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Yeah the boss battle was definitely awesome. Dungeon, not so much.

I just liked it when you reached the dungeon item. An awesome WTF moment when you open that chest, even if the dungeon design made it obvious what would be inside. :lol

How is one "bad" at Zelda? You have a hard time figuring out the puzzles?

 

[Roto13]

I've known people who suck at Zelda. Dungeon exploration and puzzles just never really click with them. Like they just forget everything they see in a dungeon the moment it's out of their field of view.

 

[G-Fex]

I'm terrible at all of them, ALL Of them.

I don't even know what to do in the original one ._.

Well nobody knows what to do in the original one unless they use a map or have it memorized from playing it a million times with trial and error.

 

[SecretMoblin]

It's often really easy to forget that while games like Zelda, Metroid, etc. were trailblazing, there has been a ton of evolution in game design in the years since. Playing the original Zelda, as wonderful as it is, requires a lot of patience.

 

[G-Fex]

I don't know what to do in Zelda II either.

*gives up*

 

[Unicorn]

Play OoT? MM I think was as puzzling as Zelda got, post 2D Zelda.

 

[shadyspace]

I don't know what to do in Zelda II either.

Stop playing 25 year old games. I can't play Zelda 1 or 2 worth a shit.

Yo G, you should play Metroid some time. Not Zero Mission, but the original.

 

[Jzero]

Super Metroid is better.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Super Metroid is better.

Super Metroid is the best game ever. My point was more that he has no idea how confusing first-party NES games can be.
