Little timelapse of today’s art! 💗 (EoW Zelda art Part 4)

Yes I did these last year too while I was in the zone!

I really need to keep building my art buffer eep

Echoes of Wisdom Zelda with a ponytail looking to the side with Tri floating next to her. Zelda holding her staff in more comfortable adventurous clothes

Echoes of Wisdom Zelda when she first meets Tri when imprisoned/behind bars and feeling suspicious and wary

Echoes of Wisdom Princess Zelda getting on her horse!! 🌸💕🐴

Zelda doing things!

Spoilers: I wish she didn’t lose all her powers augh!!!

I’ve talked about this game already though.

I did enjoy it but it’s not a perfect game.

Again the game’s UI is poop just like Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom and managing the Echo powers was frustrating. Open world Zelda games are not for me when I’m scared of burning out on them… 🙁

I don’t consider Echoes of Wisdom an overwhelming open world as much as it still has traditional-esque dungeons…

Some portrait photo studies

Gah I over exposed during editing, ah well

Art shenanigans for Crossy Road+! The 3 new UK characters are now out for Crossy Road too!

Oh I forgot to mention this!!

I did the marketing illustration (the above thumbnail where the Highland Cow, Nessie and Edinburgh Castle are cut out/hidden) and did all the in game character art and overworld map art for the new UK zone for Crossy Road+!

So that’s Shakespeare, Secret Agent and Highland Cow!

I also did the tennis player (both character versions and character animation during Wimbledon)! I watched a lot of tennis player footage haha

With in game art as mentioned before – it’s been some years since I touched Crossy Road+ so it was a lot of figuring out what the art lead at the time did with the final iterations of the overworld map art. I was a tad anxious as I did initial concept iterations of the original overworld map and it was too complex – I tried to fit in a lot :’)

Here I had to add a new UK zone to the existing map and all I can do is do my best. And it is done and out there!! Yay! Much thanks to the guidance & support of my art director (Alice Walsh).

This is technically my first key marketing art illustration I did with Blender whoa

I was slowly trying to get used to it and was figuring it out. How everything can be nitpicked to no end and feedback and fresh eyes are very much needed when you’re deep in the work. Had to remind myself to trust the process and not get overwhelmed by every element there. And trying to make Blender work for me. It’s so easy to hyperfocus on each thing and details and forget the big picture sometimes…

I hope I keep doing better at Blender by practice!! I am always stumped on what to learn next with Blender during my personal time when I also want to juggle learning other things…eep

Leonie rambles about…

• watched some Silksong gameplay and I’m glad I don’t play any of the games
  • hard platformers/metroidvanias are not for me
• slowly going at 3D low poly modeling still and I don’t remember UV unwrapping right now
  • I need to revise my 3D art notes…
  • I didn’t push myself when I wasn’t feeling it
  • feeling split on learning 3D and 2D things
  • ahhhh how do I find the time for all of this
  • so I need to combine them both??
  • or make small 3D things :S
  • I really need to make smaller scale things but then I enjoy getting carried away with personal art stuff and then it becomes overwhelming again 🙁
  • I need to think on this more…
• slowly planning new small projects but I won’t really start them for real – just ideas
  • I’m not trying to make always positive stuff…
• playing/continuing slowly through Donkey Kong Bonanza
  • I am daunted by each intense layer to explore now woah
• getting disrespected, stressed out, time/boundaries cornered and I wish to be left alone!! 🙁
• keep hearing from more and more people how youtube is tanking reach for long time video makers
  • well my views range from 14, 21, 43 views and usually it’s at the lower end
  • it feels like my youtube continues to be small with reach but it’s not as tiny as this blog…oof :’)
• Learning about a MIGW event FREAKON that’s about gamedev realness, community, hyperfixations and vibes
  • tickets ran out in less than a day anyway
  • I was never part or aware of these events anyway
  • not sure if it’s for me as much as I felt lonely with GCAP
  • I fear I’ll get outcasted/avoided again silently by some of the social people there so I’d rather not
  • (just me being anxious, overwhelmed, drained, overthinking and uncomfortable from past industry and cliquey experiences and not knowing for sure how and who I wronged. Or how I make people uncomfortable. Or how I’m just not myself with crowds.)
  • it’s a full day event, I’m still working and I don’t have that energy :’)
• also watched some silly, ridiculous dating fmv games haha
  • gosh it’s all about choosing which beautiful lady to date here and everyone else are joke characters to date :<

Anyway thank you and catch you around!

Or at my little discord if you’re interested!! Note it’s my casual art server and I keep things professional there 😀
