Description
Character redesign by me, ~turky , ~wiseman2 and ~zipzog and illustrated by me. It was completed on March the 10th, but I only got around to submitting it now.
It was for a game/competition to make a new look for Link. We tied dead last.
Edit: Oh, and SNC is my other screenname.

A dystopian Link... This could be an interesting concept for a new Zelda game! (I love dystopian societies!)

Dude, wtf last place? DDD< This is an incredibly awesome version of Link! He's all epicly heroic n'stuff, and he doesn't look like he's cosplaying Cloud, unlike a lot of Link-redesigns I've seen.

I only started thinking that after DL said he didn't give us 1st place so we wouldn't have too much of a head start.

Wow, this is really cool! I like the high-contrast shadow coupled with the hatching- one of my favourite shading styles and really cool way of blending western and eastern looking effects. The clothing feels a little stiff though, particularly when hatching can be used to show movement and flow. Still, really nice stuff. c:

Yeah, I've always loved hatching for ink work. Plus that way it doesn't matter as much when I don't spend much time CGing. And yeah, I'm not really all that advanced with hatching since I'm used to cel-shading so I didn't really have the confidence to tackle that much surface area on the clothes.

The style of this one makes it something I could totally see as being official art

The ironic thing is that I only went with this style because it takes less time than properly cel-shading it and cleaning the lineart.

MAN this is sexy. I like the unshaven look, it adds gruff to his personality.

Yeah, me and ~wiseman2 were thinking of going for a Mad Max look with the leather and chains but knew the rest of our team would kill us. So we went with that instead. xD

The one on Wii dropped the cartoony look that you're talking about.

Very cool design. It keeps what people recognize in Link, but at the same time, it looks pretty new and fresh. Nice work.
I dunno why, but I especially like the sword...

Oh, and I based the sword off the rapier from the original LoZ title/logo so that could be why.

Yeah, we were told to redesign Link but still make him look like Link, so, awesome that it shows.

Yep, I'm pretty proud of this one myself since it's rare that I'd do anime in a darker style.

I LOVE the inkiness of this >|D It makes it kinda look like official art!
I also like how you made him look older |'3 <33

In the backstory that ~turky wrote up for him, he has an older friend and I got them two mixed up so now we have an older Link. xD
