Zelda Artist Exposition: bellhenge

Hello everyone! Please do join me for another chapter of Zelda Artist Exposition. This editorial series is designed to shine a spotlight on Zelda fan artists and spread the pleasure of art to this corner of the internet. If any of you have suggestions of people to feature, just comment, and I will try to get to them. Today’s feature is somewhat of an up-and-comer: bellhenge.

This artist does not go by any other names so I will be using their username. Like I suggested, bellhenge has only been on deviantART for a short while, around seven months, and I am assuming it is their first account. They have only uploaded fourteen deviations so far, but they are all well-made, explaining how they have already accumulated over 600 watchers.

Bellhenge’s style is pretty consistent. The artwork tends to shy away from harsh lines, leaning towards realism, and puts a heavy emphasis on lighting. The general piece is very dramatically lit. While not completely Zelda-specific, bellhenge’s gallery is almost entirely Nintendo fan artwork, some of which I really love like the Palutena piece.

Below are some more of their Zelda pieces.

Please support this newer artist by checking out their gallery below. Thanks to everyone for reading!
