Im working on a trade for a Wind Waker themed pic and I had the idea to try and color it like the offical art work, but I wanted to do a test first. This came out ok for a first try and test

Wind Waker is already an installment of the Zelda series which promotes its graphical style strongly, the HD release brought about a new flare, emulating the glimmering sun across the world environments and characters. It's not often that you see a deviant piece try to replicate a distinct characteristic of lighting based on updated or remade media like Wind Waker HD. Attention was paid here where it counted, that being the light tints and broader shading to replicate the gloss of Wind Waker HD new lighting effects. Your art style still resonates with this piece, with large locks of hair and emphasis towards the shape of the ears, but you've still remained loyal to Wind Waker colours and style (Cheerful & lively). This is an exceptional piece, I can't think of many other video game title re-releases of which the same method could be applied while remaining loyal to the source it's based on.
