Description
Second in the Artifact of Power series.

Did the first sketch on 4/4, then didn't work on it for about nine days heh. But then I studiously colored it on and off and yeah I finally finished it yesterday!

If you want background on this "project" go look at the description for the first one in the series (link is at the bottom). Anyway, the song here was The Bottom of the Lake, so here's how it ties in...

Serenade of Water - 'cause he's like, in the Water Temple.
Zelda's Lullaby - 'cause he's at that thing where you play the song to change the water level and kill yourself from frustration.

Things I've done here that I've never done before: 1) perspective... sorta, I know the wall's probably off but eh, 2) have a dungeon as the background, and 3) have no lineart at all! I used it as a guide but it's not in the finished version.

Also, I know he's wearing his green tunic but the Zora one would make him blend in too much (okay, okay, I had colored it before I realized my mistake, but I like it better this way... REALLY!). And... two movements down, two to go!

Refs: outstretched arm from a screencap of Brandon Flowers in the All These Things That I've Done music video, roffle; other arm from GettyImages; screencap from TSA's OoT speedrun was the ref for the background
Stone texture: BurningWell.org
Metal texture (for the brown pole thing that I don't think is actually metal but whatever): About.com

Done with a tablet in Photoshop CS.
