Link-tober — Vincent Perea

In 2014 I participated in Inktober an online initiative led by the amazing artist Jake Parker. Read more about it here!

I wanted to have a focus for my ink drawing efforts, so I decided to pull the trigger on a project I had wanted to tackle for a long time. I decided to illustrate the very first "The Legend of Zelda" game as though it were a storybook. I spent many weekends playing and replaying the game as a kid, and it has long been my favorite game of all time. This project is a little love letter to the game and the whole Zelda series.

My plan is to plot out the story in the same order in which you would finish the game. I am redesigng all the characters based only on their original 8-Bit sprites and what I thought they looked like in my head when I was a kid. I didn't make it all the way to the end, but I am continuing the story in this years 2015 Inktober challenge.

All the drawings are made using a sable brush and Ink, in a 9in x 9in "Super Deluxe" Aquabee Sketchbook.
