Description

I swear, I'm going to upload this and then keep staring at it like I've been doing these past two months and find one billion things wrong with this anyway. But that's how it goes. This is a present for the beyond awesome ^ValaSedai for our 4 year anniversary which was 1 month ago

I don't think I've ever worked so long and hard on one piece before, non stop every night. There are so many freakin' details in here NONE of you will even ever see! Every strain of grass, every raindrop on the fence in front of the cave, so much crap I added just because 'I' knew it would be there. OTL

A while back I asked my fiancée what her favourite place in ANY video game was. Of course I knew the answer already; Kakariko Graveyard. This idea immediately came to me. Everyone always draws it the same way, I wanted to give it more of a warm and comfy feeling instead of those dark and depressing ones. I had so much fun with this! Dampé is one of my own favourite NPCs and according to a poll I did about midway through this piece he is also one of hers so that all worked out swell.

The most important thing I wanted to get right was the atmosphere, I think I managed pretty well.

I love this so much! :heart: Dampe is a character who needed more attention~ I absolutely love the detail you have put into this piece! The marks in the wood, to the fur-like fabric he's wearing, to the scene of the Graveyard just beyond his window, and the Poes! So beautiful!:iconlazycryplz: Lovely, lovely work!
