Will you take some of my pointers? :3
Here they are anyway (Improvement is the only way forward, no? =D )
First of all - start drawing real people! and concentrate on different limbs like the arms for example. The thing about anime/manga art is that often, people find themselves drawing from memory- from what they remember and think a manga/anime arm or body part would look like.

Also, loosen up those lines! =)
I see that you know how to tidy up images and make them look immaculately clean and organised, so you can rest easy that you already have that skill ^__^ however, do you have the loose planning skill?
Talking of which, how do you start your drawings? do you progress through the image neatly or do you plan it befpore in advance and keep adding in details bit by bit as you go along?
I used to do the former, and that was why I had trouble creating images that *moved* and were full of energy. When you plan loosely and allow yourself that freedom, you begin to have to consider and learn more about the body. Which is always a good thing

urm.. for how long have I been typing? >.> <.< >.>

Anyway, I wish you all the best with your art - and yeah, get back to producing your own art (some non zelda artwork as well =) ) instead of tying yourself down completely to requests. There's no time to be wasted if you still want to conquer places, lass! =D
