Fly... by °Phill 3 weeks 9 hours ago
While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

Ugh, I hate vectoring. It's not hard, it's just time consuming and BORING. -_-
okay, so for this wallpaper, i really tried to give it that no black line just colors look (which was easy being that wind waker HAS no black lines) and to combine hard shapes usually used in vectors with soft colors and gradients (such as seen in link's face). I also added some textures (from Desktop anime aka tama neko's place, along with textures from sxc.hu) to give the wallpaper a little soft worn feel. I also made this feeling consistent with the color of the wallpaper by softening up the colors just a tad. Overall, this wallpaper was a good amount of work and I just feel it's done.
Hope you guys enjoy it! (or else the pain of vectoring will continue until it's a deep burn in my brain X_X)

We Want Widescreen!
So I'll say basically what I said before:
I am SO GLAD that you stuck with this wall and didn't give up like you wanted to *nudge nudge* ^.^
It's so nice and clean and looks much better than the original scan.
I love love love the positioning of everything, especially the clouds, and the colours and the birds are a nice touch too.
The vectoring was a lot of work, but it was definitely well worth it!
We Want Widescreen!
About the wall, well the vectors are pretty good. I see that you're going for a 3D effect like in the game. But i think a pop art style would look better. Still a lovely wall though, and this would look great on my desktop. =3 Oh and yeah vectors are so boring to do...but the results are totally worth it. ^_^
P.S: Link looks so much like a lego person. xD (i Love lego btw)

THANK YOU.
Get all the help you need @ Welcome 2 AP!
I think it could have been much better.
Let's go see a movie, oohohohoo.
oh GOSHHH. I love you forever for this wall. Do you know how bad Ive been wanting a windwaker wall? Dang, I do wish this wasnt widescreen though. Its going to get funny squished on my monitor and i dont want to crop it. its bold, its bright, and its HAPPY like windwaker! T___T My stupid bro sold the game a while ago without asking me. I really miss it, and I want to buy it but college is starting soon AND they came out with twilight princess! (which I still need to play!)
sailing was always the best...ahhh the music was great, the lovely wind, the seagulls flying with me..(haha i always tried to get the seagulls to fly with me). the temples and stuff are always freaking long in zelda but theyre worth it! Plus, Ive never hated the music in Zelda (ish having some problems with the Final Fantasy XII music)
ZELDA FOREVER AND EVER!

I love the bird~~
Hehe, I wouldn't call vectoring process boring, but time consuming it surely is!
Anyway, love what you did and how you did it, I don't see anything worth complaining about.

thanx for sharin' it
its really taking me back to "Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker" .. :) .. keep up the good work .. + favorite .
Looks great. It's a nice touch that you made it not too game-ish and converted some of the darker areas into a soft blend. I'll have to forward this piece over to a friend of mine who is a big Nintendo fanatic. I know he'll love this piece.
