      Hi everybody

      Do we have to produce a single character (like Gannon) or as many as we want ? I mean the final image should look like the illustration of one character in the universe or like a research board with many on it ?

              I've never played Zelda, so I'm not familiar with the characters. But I tried anyways.

              Montage is not neccesary, rhazza. We're only looking for one completed character redesign.

                      Yep, what Lotsa said. It'll be fixed.

                      Also, extending the deadline on this one because I neglected to advertise the new challenge on the first page.

                        Hi, here is my wip. I trying a new Zelda (maybe more futuristic) I am looking for a more heroic stance on this character like if she was the hero of the game for once (i mean the game is named after her...). I think that Zelda super powers could be based on sounds and music because she is teaching in all the melodies to Link to help him in his quest. If you have any suggestions or ideas (maybe mine is too complex future+music) i'll welcome them
