Description
2DForever!This is for the Game-Art-HQ Zelda Tribute piece currently running.
It's a great idea, but I didnβt really want to draw one of the monster type enemies in the game, I wanted to draw good old humany flesh. So I settled on one of the Gerudo Guards.
Like a lot of characters in the Zelda universe, Gerudo Guards have huge pointy noses. However I wanted this one to look a bit more human, so I designed her to appear more middle eastern (and generally prettier) with more human proportions. The big nose is still there though
For the purists out there, the outfit is a mishmash of official artwork of Gerudo Guards and the in game 3D models. They werenβt consistent, so I took a little from column A and B and produced this!

Awesome work. They must be belly dancer-like citizens.

Man, this is great. I love how you've taken all the Gerudo features, and yet made her look human on top of it. Really nicely done, possibly the best Gerudo female I've seen.

Very beitufull renderation of Nabooru,alltought I did read that it was Gerudo guard it was at first supposed to be,ah well - but may I ask,why does she not have the traditional yellow eyes?
Or is this also part of the"appear more middle eastern" change?
If so,she could actuly have normal brown eyes,if more human is what you seek X3
I actuly don't think Gerduo is far off being human-ish O.o'
Sure the noses are extremly pointy but thats what make them Gerduo and a bit less humen,yet not too un-human,me thinks,ah well ^^
still,very beutifull pic! I bet it took you ages to do it

Yeah, I got some of the details wrong. I don't know Zelda that well.

Ah I see,that explains it then ^^
oh well,you made a beitufill pic,nontheless the details may not be 100% right! : D

But this is far more similar to Nabooru than a Gerudo Guard... well, you fight her inside an Iron Knukle in the game, I suppose.

I did some digging around your gallery but couldn't find your piece in particular (unless you're referring to the group picture - which is very nice by the way!). Was it for the Zelda Enemies Tribute as well?

I'll keep an eye out for the finished piece

I always took advantage of the Hookshot and froze them in place. Nabooru looks great here!

Aaah, your better Zelda knowledge helps me make some more sense of this now! I have unintentionally based this on Nabooru, rather than a generic Gerudo Guard. Now it makes sense as to why the reference images were so different!
Anyway, as a picture of Nabooru then, I'm glad you like! As for a picture of a Gerudo Guard, turns out there's some inaccuracies

Either one would of been cool! I just like Nabooru a little more.

I did embellish on the hair, making it at least 25% more cool

Sorry that it upset you as well, but are you actually offended by this?

No

Fair enough you don't like it, could you explain a bit more why, rather than just being blunt?

Fantastic! It is really great how you approached this piece.

Great job on the drawing! I remember getting caught by these guys when I played Ocarina of time! They were such a pain in the ass sometimes..
π: 0 β©: 1
That made it all the more fun to take them out

I preferred the more extreme ways... Bombs... Goron Hammer...

And no matter what it always just knocked them out. Classic.

Excellent work, its really cool for me to have you onboard of Link`s Blacklist
Take a look at all the submitted entries so far, they are great! [link]
Due to the big success of this project, i might organize a similar enemy /boss tribute of the Super Mario Bros series next year

Aawrhg, so awesome!! Great job. What's that dark area beneath her head and over her breasts?
π: 0 β©: 1
That's one of the areas where it's a bit like the in-game model, and a bit like the original character design as they were different. In game they have a mesh/see-through top on, so it's just that.
