Where's the fairy?

Where’s the fairy?

I can’t decide whether to love this picture or hate it. I love it because of the composition, and the story it tells, and some of the little details like Zelda’s slippers, Rana’s dirty knees, and Link’s eyebrows. Yeah. I’m sorry it didn’t scan so well, but I’m still using sketchbooks because they’re handy to keep the originals all in one place. When I get a massive size scanner, I’ll redo them.

I hate it because it’s really bad anatomically. Link’s legs are too short. His arms are too long. Rana’s hands I never did because they were too scary. What the heck is up with those little stick figure fairies? And that building is supposed to be Link’s house… it’s not a mini-house, but it looks like it! Zelda’s toes are not the greatest, and I am the number one worst person at drawing folding-type chairs. Yet I do it so often. This one is pretty… original.

Back to things I like? I like Zelda’s dress. It’s based on a Greek-ish shirt that one of my friends had. I liked it. Also, Epona is supposed to look reeeaally smug, like only she could have brought Link home! The details of Link’s clothes are completely off because I didn’t consult official artwork beforehand.
The basic story is set post-Twilight Princess, and it’s that Zelda came over to relax and to visit Rana, who was working in the garden, and then Link came home from searching for monsters and was really happy to see everybody.
