Zelda: Link and Shadow Link x Super Smash Bros. Melee

I really love the Zelda and Smash Bros. series so I combined the two into one with this project. The representation is based on the trophies in the Super Smash Bros. Melee Trophy Gallery. From the purple blue background, to the arrangement of the text, to the gold medal with the Smash Bros. logo. I learned a lot about the whole process of modeling, rigging, creating an interesting pose, and lighting it all up nicely.
I tried to be as close as possible to the original, but also took some liberties. I wanted to give Shadow Link a little more personality with his grin and overall demeanor, making him look like he's jumping enthusiastically from an object towards his enemy.

The entire process - modeling, texturing, painting, rigging and posing the characters, as well as setting up and lighting the scene - was done in Blender.
