Happy 2019!

A new year means a fresh start for everybody, including me! I’ve taken a long 2+ year hiatus from Citadel and a lot of art work in general, however after several months of planning and organizing, I hope to return to comics-making in earnest this year…starting immediately! I hope you enjoy my annual holiday illustration with this post, obviously inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. A year on from the release of it’s final DLC pack, it’s still an inspiring game to me and I think about it frequently, even if I’m no longer booting it up regularly.

My wife and I have had many adventures this past year including my first ever trip overseas to her homeland, Thailand! I picked up much inspiration on the journeys we’ve had and the adventure now continues, hopefully on paper as well as in life!

Kickstarter Sketch Card – Master of the Sword

Doesn’t matter which Zelda game it is, but the feeling associated with finally obtaining the Master Sword is always satisfaction!

Sketch Card – Ocarina Link

I was VERY late posting this! So sorry! Here’s a Link in Ocarina of Time garb! I had this penciled out for almost a year and finally someone wanted a Link, so I just fished this out with ink and color!
