Zelda Artist Exposition: Purrdemonium
Posted on August 17 2013 by LukeSaturn
Hello all and here again is another edition of “Zelda Artist Exposition”. I have some good news before we jump in (the news is pretty neutral actually, just depends on how you view it). I will now be writing these biweekly for Saturdays from now on. Firstly, this is good because I am one for order, reason, scheduling, and whatnot, and secondly, since these will be coming out more frequently, my list of artists to write about will be shrinking rapidly. So I urge you all to please suggest artists to write over. I have been expanding the list, but it has come to a bit of a standstill at the moment, so suggestions are always welcomed and appreciated. Our featured artist of the day is Purrdemonium as the title suggests.
A gender is not given on his or her profile, but I will refer to Purrdemonium, also known as Krystian, as a male, considering Krystian is the Polish form of “Christian”, which I find to be a male name more than a female one. Anyway, Krystian was suggested by commenter Krishna Moorthy. Plus, I chose him today considering a lot of his Zelda work is based around The Wind Waker, which I found fitting and topical amidst all this The Wind Waker HD hype.
As I mentioned above, as far as his Zelda-related works go, he tends to focus on The Wind Waker with his fan art, but he has also branched towards other games, most prominently Majora’s Mask, as illustrated by the drawing to the right.
He seems to stick solely to digital art and his style is somewhat distinguished. He uses very think outlines (similar to The Wind Waker‘s illustration style itself) and uses color well, even in darker pictures. He has also shown mastery of shadows by using them prominently, once again illustrated by the work to the right.
Below are separate, parallel works of Link with Makar and then Medli. And then below them is one of my favorite pieces by Purrdemonium of the ReDead. I like that sort of dark stuff though.
As always, thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed Purrdemonium’s artwork!
