rynlingI commissioned dibeediboop on Tumblr to do character designs and an illustration for The Modern History of Zelda, and she just sent me her rough sketches for Zelda.
This is exactly how I imagine Princess Zelda in her twenties: cold, proud, magisterial.
Because this artist is a boss, I also got four different versions of her clothing, which is pure Victorian military chic. The artist is so ridiculously talented, and I am so excited about working with her.
I'm a bit worried about how to describe Ganon to her, though. I more or less imagined him as Frantz Fanon, but that's not really something you can come right out and tell someone.

What I'm trying to say is that I respect artists SO MUCH for all of the tiny decisions they have to make. I'm so, so lucky to be able to commission people.
