Link, from my Super Smash Bros. Melee fanfiction (called "Smash Quest" in my gallery)
Okay, gonna be honest, not too happy with him, especially the facial design and some of the expressions.
Could be becuse I was maybe loosing some steam after working till 2:00am for two weeks straight, lol.
But I'm really liking them all having "normal" clothes, I think it really gives them a "human" side, ya'know?
Ahaha I like your note 'ears are very good expressive tools'. Yes, yes they are. :D I agree with you that these aren't quite as good as the others but there are lots of good things about this plate that I like. The anger, happiness and sad expressions are all wonderful, as are the details with the sword and shield. I can't image how hard those must have been -_-; I really like the way his hair looks. I have to say that I prefer the way his jawline is with the fighting outfit than I do with his normal clothes. The one seems more 'Link' than the other but that could just be me. Again, this is a good piece of work. :)
Jaw line is not just you...It is my own inconsistency...I'm not sure how it happened the full bodies, as you may be able to tell, where traced from sort of "clothing models" that I drew before hand, guess it could have been pen inconsistency too...not sure what happened there, lol
