Another snippet of some concept art for that rebooted LoZ AU, this time working on Zelda! In this AU I'm drawing more from her Tetra design and want her to look more like a soldier/warrior than she does a princess. I imagine this Zelda to be brusque and stern, a girl who was once all mischief and sass and play but grew into a woman who has time for none of those things anymore, not in the wake of her sudden crowning as Queen to a turbulent kingdom.
Except the sass. She never fully loses that. x3
I'm hoping to be able to show a counterbalance between this Zelda and Midna; Zelda's down-to-business and imposing. Midna is impish and charming. Zelda typically uses strong-arming and brass tacks. Midna uses flourish and quick wit.
But ye! I'm lookin to finish her design within the next few days so keep your peepers open! :> More to come soon!
