Oni - Fierce Deity

Okie-day, this is my first attempt at anything like this, so be nice to me. As well, it isn't supposed to look exactly like the Oni Link from MM, kay?

Additionally, I was wondering if I should keep it more of an impressionist thing and keep the focus on Oni by keeping the horse that way, or whether it would look better if I colored it.



And, yes, it is hand done.

This is highly impressive!!
But did you use a reference for this?
It looks pretty realistic to me, m'boy.

Thank you! I've lurked and I know you don't hand out praise glibly, and I appreciate it. And, yes, I did use a reference image, this one, mainly: http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...g?t=1209523080 though I used a half-dozen images of Oni to get the armor and markings just so.

And I am a she.

Ah!
10 for observation!
You've really taken your time on this one.
I can see this being popular among many.


Ah... classic dynasty warrior.
I like the way you're adapting Oni-Link to a more realistic appearance,
that a huge, ridiculous sword.

Keep it up... M'Girl!

Expert job! But yes I think it would look better if you colored the horse.

Thank you. I might do that, I'm not sure. Just the Oni was... oh, I don't know how many hours, but around one and a half weeks work. And that horse is big.

YIKES!! Well the effort shows Well instead of coloring it, maybe just put in a BIT more indication that the horse is there.

Wow, this is incredible! Nice work! I can't wait till the horse gets done.

Oni Link with new armor on a transparent horse?
I'm all up for that idea!
Seriously, I've never seen such a good pic of Oni Link, you've made the sword realistic, and you've made my day!

Thank you. I guess that means I do the horse.

Lol. The sword was incredibly difficult to make it symmetircal-ish. I finally had to make two lines perpendicular to each other and use them as guides. But it turned out purdy.

Okay, question, should the horse be Epona or a white horse?

I was thinking Epona, but I didn't know if her brown would detract from Oni's white, so it's either her or a white horse.

I'm going for Epona!

Eh... since there is no consensus, I guess I'll not be generic and go with Epona.
