Phantom Raika

A collaboration between Raika and I! I did the sketch and he inked and colored. We decided on a Christmas theme and I drew our two characters (both named Noah) exchanging gifts. The cute gal belongs to him and the weird dogboy is mine.

Legend of legaia is one of those games from my childhood that I just REMEMBER REALLY WELL. My sister and I both played it and we even had the walkthrough. Ugh this game was awesome and I loooooooved Noa

Inspired by Anita Sarkeesian’s Video Game Tropes vs Women, I wanted to pitch a Zelda game where Zelda herself was the hero, rescuing a Prince Link. 

Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos.

This concept work is meant to show that Zelda as a game protagonist can be both compelling and true to the franchise, while bringing new and dynamic game elements that go farther than being a simple gender swap.
