A Quick One Before the Majora Moon Destroys Termina

i noticed that some character art on the wiki was listed in the n64 gallery while different ones were in the 3ds remake gallery, assumingly because they made new official art to add to the 64 era. if this is somehow inaccurate to assume i think what i find neat about this this applies love seeing traditional-digital out in the wild, as someone very versed in it, i can tell that the original n64 majoras mask character art, at least the ones ive checked so far, seems to have mostly traditional lineart, from the scanned in stink it gives off (beloved) with digital color and def convincing yet likely digitally placed textures. digital under and overpainting is very blatant up close! its really fun to see this all working together at a high res

and LMAO i do not blame them for saving the large black shadows for digital! probably for the best. that stuff is harder to get right even with good line confidence. digitally sculpting it out is safer

the majora 3ds art is all digital it seems!! if it was drafted traditionally (fun to do) then none of it is in the final pass. its got that basic round brush stink on its lineart for sure haha. but even though its humblingly rough up close, it looks very similar from a distance.
