The Legend of Zelda: Link`s Blacklist!
There are tons of Zelda fanarts on Deviantart and other websites.
We could draw a ton more Link`s, Zelda`s, Sheiks, and Midna in all forms and colors. But this tribute is for the dark side of Hyrule and the other Legend of Zelda Worlds. From the Miniblin to Ganondorf himself, they are the characters we tribute this time!
Like previously the Street Fighter Anniversary Tribute and next week the Kirby Anniversary, the entries for this tribute will be showcased on Fan Art Site Game Art HQ.Com  http://fanart.game-art-hq.

Is it just me or the GB's Zelda games are -somehow- overlooked?

sad but true. Only one of the around 50 artists draw the two Zelda II entries. Just all the classic ones didnt get much love sadly.

Next year, most likely again in June i will continue the Link` s Blacklist project if the interest is there, and probably make a list with characters to choose from to get the not so popular enemies and games be represented as well

That's the sad part and that's why being an illustrator/game-concept-artist is not easy: you HAVE to draw things you don't like much of the time and make them like-able :P

The saddest part is that many here CLAIM (yes, in capitals) to be Zelda hardcore fans and they have not played the games. Maybe that's the reason so many classic games are overlooked.

Also, why not having many Octorocs? many points of view are cool, because you can see the different peaople and minds behind the piece drawn.

well its a lot worse with the artists you see on official artbooks with stuff made by fans, like the Udon SF Tributes or their Megaman one

Take a look at the galleries of the artists who draw the accepted works and you see it most of the time that they never draw a SF or MegaMan fanart before or later. It was only done for being in an artbook = publicity

I think it is because of the age as well, the msot in the group are below 25, their first consoles were the playstation or n65 in 1996 and many of them probably started with Ocarina of Time

But anyway, next year its about the not yet drawn characters, and whoever wants to be a part of this ambitious project will have to draw those :-)

I'm playing since Asteroids and Space Invaders (at 6yo), so count me in. Sadly, the only generation I almost completely lost was N64-PS-Saturn since didn't had the oportunity to play them, but with today emulators I'm trying to compensate.

I got in the MegaMan Anniversay Artbook, btw. Yey for me! LOL

Congratz ^^

Means one free copy of the artbook for you :-)

I wish they would do competitions like namco bandai did with the tekken one where the winning artists got prizes in the form of money, games etc

Cash is better than anything else, but a hard-cover of the book is awesome. Good resume item too :P

:excited: The standard so far is so high. It's both inspiring and intimidating. But most of all, it's just a pleasure to browse through!

What date are the finished pieces 'due'?
