From the Legend of Zelda mythology: A Zora's Demise

[Rhye]

This is a piece I’ve done inspired from 2 creatures from the Legend of Zelda universe, the zoras and gyorgs. I always though Nintendo could do an great adventure game out of the zoras, they have alot of potential.

Base models were done in xsi then sculpted in zbrush. Then I paint the base of the textures directly in zbrush and added details in photoshop. Its rendered in xsi with mental ray but the background is all photoshop.

I hope you enjoy it!

like that fish creature. i think the scales look a bit flat. other than that i think the fish is a solid model. cool stuff.

nice, but isn’t the zora’s nose more like a humans nose, maybe is just me, good job by the way.

Thanks! About the nose, well it actually depends in wich games you take reference. Just compare:

I went alot more on the Twilight Princess design since old zora artworks make them look quite alien.

Anyway Nintendo keeps their biology quite diverse and inconsistent through some species
