Race Day at the Romani Animal Festival

Description

This was my second digital piece ever and an entry for :iconwoodland-mel:'s 2012 calendar contest. The theme was, "Festival with Music." I love the part in Majora's Mask where the chicks and doggies follow Link around, so I turned it into a festival! Here's the little blurb I submitted for my piece:

It's the big race day at the Romani Animal Festival! Every year, Link dons the Bremen Mask and leads the animal racers on a parade. The cows and cuccos cheer as the racers strut their stuff, prancing and leaping to Link's ocarina tune. Who will win this year?

This was fun to make, while at the same time massively headache-inducing. It was also a spectacular learning experience. Since this was only my second digital piece, I still had no clue what I was doing with Photoshop and made a lot of painful mistakes. Let's just say I bit off more than I could chew with this one! Silly me had originally intended for this picture to be far more intricate with Romani, Cremia, and an entire crowd of animals in the background. But with my lack of skill, time, and sleep, I had to aim a little lower. I'm still very pleased with the finished piece though. :)

Let's just pretend this festival is taking place after the aliens invade Romani Ranch and thin the cow herd. ;P

-Photoshop CS5 and Monoprice tablet
-Link, Epona, and background referenced from actual game and screenshots
-Listened to the "Bremen March" A LOT

Again, I used tons of wonderful DA tutorials for this piece. I am forever indebted to their creators and will try to link them here.

Thanks to Woodland-Mel for putting on a wonderful contest and all the other artists who entered. The winning pieces were unbelievable!

Link, Epona, and all Legend of Zelda characters are (c) Nintendo.

Please do not steal my art or use it without my permission. Thank you!
