The Hero of (Down)time

Vision & Originality:

This feels so right. 'Hey, listen! - take a break....' It's nice to see the Hero taking a break, since he seems to go all out all the time. It's great to note the damage to his uniform, and his body. All that rolling around, all the dodging, getting whacked - it's both visionary and original to see all that taken into account.

The camp fire provides a warm glow and helps set the scene of Link actually taking stock between saving Zelda or slaying Ganon.

Technique:

Obviously a practiced artist: clean lines, masterful use of colour, and a nicely blended palette. The only thing I would really comment on is the kind 'empty area' on the right and behind Link. I think that perhaps a use of stars, or some kind of nebula would help buff the image and provide a sense of mysticism that belongs in the Zelda-verse. Also, the wings on Navi could do with some sharpening as they're not a consistent drawing style with the rest of the image.

Impact:

A pleasing reflective piece on the hero's journey and a thoughtful insight in to what happens when you shut down the console.
