“I like you,” he said, after a moment's hesitation.
She paused, “You like me?”
Her tone threw him off a bit, but he continued. “I've liked you since grade eight. Please go out with me.”
“Go out with you?”
“Yes.” His knees shook a little, though he had tried his best to prevent it.
“What will we do when we go 'out'?” she said casually.
“...Pardon?”
“Will we holds hands, cuddle, and tell each other stories? Will we go to movies and pretend we like each other's tastes, and go to restaurants only to fondle over the bill?”
“...I don't kn

The Clock's HeartbeatWhen the moon looks into the eyes of the sun,
When the stars turn round in a daze,
When dusk finally falls to the victor Dianna,
Is when I place myself to sleep.

When my eyes dance through the darkness,
When the Gemini come out to play,
When the visions are forgotten thereafter,
Is when I place myself in dreams.

When the monsters sharpen their teeth,
When the werewolves scratch at the door,
When the blackness takes its form,
Is when I place myself in nightmares.

But when the monsters come closing in,
When the door begins to shatter,
When the blackness takes my breath,
Is when I place by my ear, a watch;

Link and the Wind Fishby ~Selladorra

Fan Art / Digital Art / Painting & Airbrushing / Games

Edit: Now available as a print here ---> [link]

This looked a lot better in my head. Seems to be the way most things are.

"Link's Awakening" was one of the first Zelda games I played when I was a kid, and I always wanted to paint the Wind Fish because it was the most epic thing ever. Finally got around to it, only took me a decade or so!

Process!

This is something I would love painted on my ceiling. xP The smooth transitions of color based off of the sunlight is so nice. It gives me a calming/sleepy effect. That's why I find this so fitting. Link believed the adventure was a dream until this part happens. I feel like the only way to make this art even more stunning is if it were in 3D or ocean sounds. I like the detail in the clouds. It makes the artwork look more busy and definetly worth looking at. I could just imagine that one of the seagulls is Marin flying with the windfish. The windfish itself looks so prestigious with his tiny wings. ^^ Overall fav!

*Link watches, in awe of the majestic creature soaring above him*

*Then realizes he's still stuck in the middle of the ocean on nothing more than two pieces of flotsam*

This is beautiful! Link's awakening is, to this day, still my favourite Zelda Game. But I love the colours and the ripples in the ocean and just....the detail is just lovely

Seriously, if this was a print, I would buy it.

~Selladorra Nov 18, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Well! Lucky you, it IS a print!

Just not through dA. It's in the comments of the image if you're really that interested, but don't worry I'm not pressuring you

I think it's a tie with this game and Ocarina of Time. It's just so hard to choose between them which one is my favourite! And thank you so much, I'm honoured

~SleepyManna Nov 21, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Sweet! I'll check it out when I get back home and save up some money :3 I'm so glad it's a print though, thanks for telling me! <3<3

~Selladorra Nov 21, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Don't feel pressured, don't feel pressured!

I'm just happy you like it!

~Elly3981 Oct 1, 2012

Oh my, this is beautiful! I had fond memories of playing Link's Awakening when it first came out almost 20 years ago and my first fanfic was based off this series. Anyway, I love the way you blended the colors in this picture. I think that after the fish awoke, Link somehow drifted back to Hyrule on his tiny raft.
