LOZ: Lost in the Woods

5 June 2016

I have been working on this, on and off, for months now and I am so glad it’s finished. It had more than 100 layers and my computer was being quite slow while working on it (this is only about 14% of the actual size). I wanted to have this finished in April for the Expo, but I had trouble painting the rocks. Now that it’s finished, it will be available at Ai-kon next month~

Speaking of which, hey guys my sister, mom and I got our tables at Ai-kon (July 15-17)!
We are SUPER excited to be back and we’re working hard to prepare some new merch right now. We’ll be right near the entrance to the marketplace so be sure to stop by and say hello!!

Okay, now back to the picture lol. It has some weird parts to it, and I don’t think there’s any forests like this in Ocarina of Time, but I’m really proud of this. It’s been a long time since I’ve painted something this detailed, and I don’t recall any backgrounds I’ve put so much work into compared to this one. I learned a lot more about Manga Studio, textures and painting backgrounds. ……..That said, I don’t think I’m gonna be attempting something like this again any time soon. *phew*

Thanks for looking and have a great week everyone!!

I’d like to add some thanks to Malleni-stock at dA; I didn’t use any of her stock images exactly but was very inspired by them. I also used some references from senshistock at dA too, to understand Link’s pose better.
