REQUEST FOR 2nd PRIZE WINNER OF OUR CONTEST!!!

CONGRATS :iconmuertecita:

request: Prince Ralis in watercolor
(i added border and small b/g as an idea for small bg)
HOPE YOU LIKE! IT WAS CHALLENGING BUT FUN!~

first of all, today was a loong day~ had a garage sale today and boy was it tiring. although i had the chance to multitask and work on this request while i was outside lol. im glad i got it finished.
It's been a long time since i did some traditional work. I don't use watercolor very often so excuse my noob watercoloring >.< im only used to colored pencils but im getting use to watercolor. :) Also, its been long years that i ever drew a Zora. XB so i knew this would be an interesting request :D
I was lucky that i had left over poster watercolor paper lol. I had to cut them to size to make them fit to the scanner. i had to work small, i needed like a small brush or a magnifying glass~~ MY EYES! LOL XD it was challenging to do his jewerly @_@ Just a note, this picture is made from 3 different pics fused into one XD~~ I think my scanner killed Prince Ralis T.T i think its better in person DB and the bg im not really satisfied. DB In my sketch of prince ralis, his eyes look more sharp and mature but when i colored it or outlined it it turned out girly eyes DB XD

i never noticed how complex Ralis is until i drew him XDDD hes sooo cuuuuuteee though~~~ surprising on how dramatically Zoras changes in Zelda games. I wasnt really fond of Zoras (maybe cuz of Ruto LOL) but now i do XD. If they made a sequel of TP it will be kool to see grown up Prince Ralis and Link teaming up XD I think Ralis would be hot when he gets older XD. ahem~ anyway, they are cute in Zelda TP but i think if you saw them in real life i would SPAZZ @_X their eyes are scary ...what happened to the beady eyes in OOT? lol

by the way.... lets see if you guys notice... what movie am i hinting in here? XDDD <333333

Note: i used watercolor pencils to define edges and adjusted in PS to fuse layers and lighting adjustments.
