I’ve been meaning to make some Zelda art for a while, so when I saw this awesome illustration of Link by Malin I figured this would be a great opportunity. Tried to challenge myself with new hair modeling techniques and rendering workflows, so it was a great experience all around. Hope you like it!
Rendered in Arnold for Maya. Cel-shaded render done using Zbrush. High quality renders can be found on my Artstation - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/yJQG1n
I have already checked this piece on your artstation and I must say, i can’t get enough of looking at it ! This is real beautiful, my eyes are deeply greatful for this !
Such a clean sculpt, and really great stylization. I love the NPR render, too. Your settings really do make it look like a really well done line drawing rather than CG.
Thanks for the kind words!
This is amazing!
This is wonderful! I agree with Aurick, the NPR render is perfect. 
looks good.
Great job!
This is a really cool version of Link, great job!
BotW II Let’s goooooo!
Golly! Gosh! Gee!
This is absolutely gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
I’m glad you guys liked it! Definitely had a blast making it.
Just for fun - here’s a comparison between my models of Link, 8 years apart. Progress was definitely made…
Yooo way to grow that skillset! The ZBrush Team looks forward to see more from you!!
