Studio Saturday: A Link Between Years

Hello 2018! I hope everyone is having a good new year so far. The last weeks and first days of the new year were miserable for me as allergies impacting me pretty bad. However, I'm mostly clear, getting back on track of taking care of myself, and a new year's resolution to be more productive with my ideas and not hold back on my art! That all to say, I wanted to mention a few pieces in upcoming blogs I finished at the end of 2017. 

The first is a painting based on Midna from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I had an image of her in a Virgin Mary-esque way, holding the Triforce. This is the first in a very, very long time I've done any type of video game character as a drawing/painting, not since maybe...high school. This is her in 'real' form - spoiler alert, sorry guys. 

I debated how detailed I wanted to get, especially with the jewelry. As always, I fought with the hands, but I think I'm getting there. I'm happy with how rough and imperfect she is. I'm proud of myself for going outside my comfort zone and hope to continue to improve.

I hope you enjoy, thanks for looking :)
