Crafted by artist Camille Young, this Oni Mask was inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. Camille contacted a number of other artists to each paint a mask of their own, and I was thrilled to participate. 

Mine takes its inspiration from Zant, King of the Shadows from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and so I call it simply The Shadow King Mask.

If you are interested in buying a mask of your own, check out the Oni Masks Tumblr for updates on other artists’ masks and their special, upcoming Kickstarter campaign.

A Parting, The Awakening, The Dreamer

This marks the end of my Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening series. I have plenty more character and monster illustrations to share, but this particular sequence needed to be kept together.

Jacob Smiley, Homesick,  2013

This is my personal favorite out of all my Zelda paintings. I like Link as a hero because a hero is all he knows how to be, all he’s allowed to be.

But even heroes get homesick.

Jacob Smiley Golden Land, 2013

In preparation for its forthcoming sequel,  A Link Between Worlds, I wanted to make a piece to celebrate one of the most beloved games of all time, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Into the Pyramid, Jacob Smiley, 2013

I posted a piece yesterday in response to the announced sequel to A Link to the Past, which takes place six generations after the original game. I have been wondering what could possibly happen between that vast expanse of time…

Stay tuned for more!
