I plan on doing A Link to the Past. I want to replicate the phantom hourglass/wind waker style and proportions of the props and scenery and I want to challenge myself by doing all hand painted/pixel textures. We'll see where this goes!


Specifically, I want to do the graveyard north of Hyrule castle from the Light world in aLttP. It's also called the "Hyrule Cemetery."

Stay tuned for moodboards and concept stuff~!

    Well this sounds interesting, and no doubt gearing up your interest for both WWHD and LTtP 2 haha. I'll be watching this

    OKAY SO UPDATES.

    For some context, the area I'm doing is an extrapolation of this scene in A Link to the Past:

    In this style: iMZZq1n.jpg

    With this character [If time permits, I may do Link, but I highly doubt this.]

    The pedestal for the diorama is going to be the pedestal of the Master Sword from aLttP. As seen here:

    I did an extreml simple block of the scene and how I want to place everything here:

    I'm not 100% sure that the stairs for the pedestal will work, if the don't I'll just cut them out and have it be completely self enclosed.


    There are a few things that I am concerned about and I'm going to list them here:

    -I've never worked with a texture budget that was this small, so I'm interested to see how this works. I also plan to try and limit my texture calls as much as possible.
    -I'm concerned about the lack of opacity maps, this will be difficult, to do the typical grass planes seen in Zelda, but I will persevere!
    -Similarly with trees.

    I'm sure there are other things that I'm forgetting which will be an issue, but I'll post about them when I run into it!

    Cheers everyone!

    Update!

    I've been doing some of this while lunch crunching, and some of it is still at home, so I'ts not all here.

    But this is a small chunk of the environment that I have done!

    PS: Does anyone know how to get sketchfab to auto display the black background?
