Artist's Comments

Third addition to the Ocarina of Time 'Awaken the Sages' Series of Six;

I. Phantom Forest [link]
II. Temple of Fire [link]
III. Reflected in Dark Water
IVi. Under the Well [link]

I can't wait to get started on the Shadow Temple, I think I'm much better at drawing pictures with darker backgrounds. I tried to follow the basic colour scheme of the Water Temple in this picture but all of the tile designs are totally original (apart from the hookshot symbol! It's from memory so probably wrong XD) I might upload close ups of some details later.

This took forever... especially all those tiles. I still wouldn't say this picture was fully completed so !constructive! critique is definitely appreciated :) two changes because of your crits have already been made, but more are always welcome!! Special thanks to WishIWould and Charliemalfoy for their especially awesome concrit :D


If you think Link's reflection looks dodgy, take a closer look :evillaugh: Thanks!

Application: Adobe Photoshop CS3

Oh my gods, pretty.... <3

It's awesome, especially Dark Link. But you know how much I love Dark Link. ;3

Though, as I know how you love critique... ;) I think the water... it does look good, but around the walls, it doesn't look exactly right. I'm being picky but I can't quite work it out. I think it's just were the edges of the water wouldn't be ruler straight, they'd be a bit wobblier.
And I'm going to be a hypocrite and point out the nose as well. :XD: I think it might be too long and straight (oppose to mine which is long and crooked, I suppose. XP). I just think it would probably look a bit neater if it was slightly more arched at the top (inwards at about the eyes) and the tip pointing up slightly more, also slightly more rounded (to better match Dark Link's).
Sorry if I'm being too picky!
:hug:

Oh my goodness! That's amazing! o.O

I love the water effects and the tile patterns, but my favourite part has got to be Link's "reflection". I'm really very impressed! A definite fave! ^^

Very very awesome detail indeed! I love it! XD This is TRULY a MASTERPIECE INDEED! XD I don't remember seeing a ball enemy in the Water Temple though so only that part is not really understood by me but I understand why it could be there but all in all this is a TRUE MASTERPIECE INDEED! Very nice! :D

I see you've greatly improved on your digital art talents since the last time I saw one of your works of art. Beautiful job. Loving the whole "Dark Water" reflection there too; wonderful idea. :D

I'll definitely be expecting greatness in the upcoming Sage Awakenings you do, your talents are truly amazing. Great job; Keep it up. :heart:

I love this it's so beautiful! The patterns on the wall are ornate and wonderful, I also love the rippling water effect by his foot.

Oh wow, where to begin on this one? This piece is absolutely breath taking! There are so many subtle details that I missed at first glance, from the Tektek on the ceiling and floor to the wonderful tile designs. I must say that I got a certain chill when seeing Dark Link in the water's reflection. The perspective it wonderful, though I must say that his shoulder seems a little awkward, but I understand that it is in the way he is twisting his body to maneuver in the strike. Overall, this has to be one of the best LoZ Water Temple interpretations I have ever seen. Fantastic job!
