Artist's Comments

It took 7hours and 40minutes but mostly because I edited ANY tiny little detail that was messed up. Please give me truthful comments and please comment if you look at this image, even if the comment is only 'I beat that game' or 'Hey'.

"Vaati (グフー Gufū;) is a Wind Mage, and the villain in the Four Swords subseries of The Legend of Zelda games along with The Minish Cap. Vaati is seen taking on two main forms; one a human, the other a monster (much like Ganondorf and Ganon). In The Minish Cap, Vaati also has a third form between his human and true demon form, namely that of a humanoid demon sorcerer that somewhat resembles a Patra from the original The Legend of Zelda.

The origin tale of Vaati is told in the adventures that Link faced with the Minish Cap. Originally of the Minish race, Vaati was fascinated by the evil that could come from the heart of man. When his master, Ezlo, fashioned a powerful magical cap as a gift for the humans, one that could make one's wishes come true. Vaati stole the cap, transformed into a sorcerer and cursed his master into the shape of a living cap, so that he would not stop him. Then, taking human form, Vaati set out to find the means to allow him to become the greatest sorcerer the world had ever seen.

He found that means in the legends of the Light Force, a mystical magic said to bestow upon the wielder the powers of godhood. Over the course of the game, Vaati continuously sought its location, finding it in the end in the most unlikely of places, within Princess Zelda. Vaati managed to extract some of the Light Force from Zelda and transformed into a tall sorcerer form known as Vaati Reborn. Link defeated the form with the power of the Four Sword, and Vaati transformed into a demonic one-eyed black orb known as Vaati Transfigured, but was vanquished again. In his anger, Vaati transformed yet again, into a larger, more powerful version of this form known as Vaati's Wrath, but even this could not defeat Link, who sealed Vaati within the Four Sword. Zelda then proceeded to use the magical cap to restore what Vaati had done, destroying the cap in the process. "

Critiques

Okay, I'm assuming that he's kind of from the twilight princess universe? It's a LOVELY character design, I love the little details on the boots, and the hair covering one eye.

There's a few things to watch out for~ Unless you're attempting extreme perspective here, which I dont think you are, the legs are a good deal too short. Think of it this way - you're longer from your feet to your waist than you are from your waist to the top of your head! So keep that in mind, and a good way to avoid little accidents like short legs is to work on your drawings from the ground up, roughly measuring things out as you go. A reference pic will also help <3
The feet are a bit small. Generally, a persons feet are roughly the same size as their heads, as hard as that might be to believe.
His head and torso work well together, they're pretty much in proportion in relation to eachother, just not the legs, so damn good job on that! The hands are nice too. A little practice wil make perfect, but you're doing very well so far!

The lineart seems a bit shaky in places, but I can really see that you sent a LOT of time and effort on that! Sometimes going TOO slow can cause every minute wobble in your hand to register in your picture, you gotta find a nice, comfortable pace <3 I like how you varied up the flow of the lines on the garments, they drape so nicely around the body, and you can almost feel the different materials through your use of line! However, I think his hair wasn't quite as sucessful. The lines look a bit rushed, and the placement of the lines look as though you were uncertain or unsure of how his hair should fall. Fewer, gentler strokes will really show the softer texture that hair should have, especially in contrast to the fabrics!

Perhaps next time, try a little shading. It doesnt have to be a super elaborate lightsource, just pretend that the light is coming from the right side of the page, and darken areas accordingly. You seem to be really good with coloring pencils, the strokes are going mostly in the same direction, which is excellent.
Overall, fantastic effort, and it really paid off! This is a great picture~ :hug:
