Wow, Red. Pretty cool. If I actually used bookmarks I might print one out. You usually have some fun concepts, I like seeing you carry them out.

[ Jansu's Biography ]

Like I said last night when you finally showed me the nearly finished product, "OH MY GOOOOOOSH!" This really is an incredibly impressive picture, sweetie... :D

I love the colors on the Ages side--blues are so beautiful! I'm glad my blue Micron helped! Nayru barely looks like she has an outline at all--she blends into the background really well! The aura around the Triforce of Wisdom is really neat, too--it looks like it's underwater! The cross-legged Link does not look bad at all, and neither do his hands! That must've been a tough pose to do... And the map looks really cool and detailed!

As for the Seasons side, I really love Din's pose--she looks like an elegant statue or something! Sorry I didn't have a red or brown Micron for you to use as well... But actually, it looks just as good with the black outline, since the black part of the background is what's behind Din for the most part. At first, I thought the effect around the Triforce of Power looked a little awkward because there was black in it as well as red, but the more I look at it, the more I understand the effect you were going for, and it's not really odd at all! Really, it's a great first attempt at something like this... Nice shiny effects on Link's sword and shield, too!

Looking at the original picture, it seems like the scan has more red in it, especially when you look at Link's hair, which kinda looks orange-y here, when the original was more golden, but it doesn't really look bad or anything, just a slightly different tone to the colors.

Goooooooooorgeous, gorgeous work! Make more bookmarks like this!

Red, I'm very impressed. This might be some of the best work of yours that I've seen. These are much more colorful and compositionally complex than your usual work -- well done.

I think the Nayru bookmark is hands-down superior to the Din one, so I'll talk about Din first.

Link and Din's poses & coloring are really nice - particularly Link's shield. Great job with the shiny, metallic effects. Link's cool blues & greens contrast nicely with Din's rich orange and reds. Din's anatomy seems a little off...mostly her arms and hands. If you're going to put so much detail in her neck and breasts, you might want to pay more attention to her proportions and muscle groups in her arms. Just be stylistically consistant. Two nitpicks about Din before I move on: The bellybutton should probably be lower (or the crotch higher), and the dots on her cheek kind of look like a closed eye.

Okay -- kudos for using a background. This one looks a little awkward, but the colors you chose contrast well with the characters and make them stand out. Finally, the composition -- I love your elements, but their arrangement seems crowded to the left, leaving vacant background on the right. This is a very vertical composition -- vertical lines in the background, Link's sword & shield and Din's hand pointing up, all leading to the Triforce as the focal point. This all makes the right side of the image seem very empty. The logo on the bottom looks pretty good -- it creates balance with all the bright red in the upper area of the image. However, it does look kinda slapped on as an afterthought. Whew, okay. On to Nayru.

The Nayru bookmark is much better than the other one, and I'll tell you why. It corrects most of the problems I just described. The composition is wonderful! The logo fits in seamlessly with the image, and the balance of vertical and horizontal lines is just right. The map, Link's legs, his arms, Nayru's arms, and the logo balance out the vertical lines of Nayru's body and the background. Having the Triforce focal point in the center (its bright yellow really stands out against the blues, greens, and browns) is much easier on the eyes. GREAT job.

Nayru's colors look very mystical, and give a good sense of light direction -- the shadows on her cheeks do look like closed eyes though, like Din. The blue pen was a great effect. She also looks a lot more proportional than Din. Link might be my favorite part. I love how you tried a new pose -- the results are very good! Yes, the hands are a little out of whack, but other than that he looks great. You can tell that he's lost in thought and perhaps a bit frustrated. The map, keys, compass, and boss key are wonderful details.

Overall -- congratulations! You've challenged yourself and come out with some great work. Keep it up ^_^

These are pretty good, if you say these aren't your best then I'd love to see your ogre battle one.
