So I had a friend send me this image today, but he doesn't know where it came from. Do any of you?

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was commissioned to paint it in the 14th century.

[Selena]

The art style looks familiar but, for the life of me, I can't recall any names. It's been a while since I've looked at Zelda fan art.

[Twinrova]

All I can find is the username the artist uses on Pixiv - Ag+.

Kotaku has an article on it saying basically the same thing.

[Wolf O'Donnell]

Bloody Heck. Is that big eye thing supposed to be Vaati? He looks so Resident Evil-ish.

[Hana-Nezumi]

As Rova said, it's by the user Ag+ on Pixiv. For those without a Pixiv account, here's a download of the image at full size: http://rapidshare.co...59/16868303.jpg

And, if you happen to have an account on Nico Nico Douga, you can watch the creation of this masterpiece. *.*

I think it might be a Lanmola or one of the other various worm monster enemies...

It might be Bellum too...

[Sir Turtlelot]

I thought it was Dethl.

[JRPomazon]

It's a peppermint nightmare,

Whatever the case, that is the most amazing piece of fan art I have ever seen. EVER.

This is why I play these games.

This is absolutely incredible. I can safely say that it's the best piece of fan art that I have ever seen for any series.

[Chiaki]

Yeah, this is seriously the greatest piece of Zelda fan art ever. Or...fan art for anything, for that matter. Friggen amazing...

[SOAP]

What? No Malon? Well I guess Romani and Cremina count.

In any case, epic potrait. I can die a happy Zelda Fan.

[Showsni]

That's amazing. Not many characters from the NES games, though...

[lord-of-shadow]

Zelda 1's characters are pretty much all represented.

Zelda 2's characters... well, same. They didn't really have any notable characters outside of the main ones and, like, Error. And Error didn't exactly have a huge and compelling character design that would have been recognizable after being blown up past the pixel level.

The only characters I'm really missing are:

- Sheik
- Tetra
- Midna's imp form
- Quill, from tWW

And three of those are alternates forms of characters already on the picture, so I understand why they were withheld.

According to Zelda Universe, That's Bellum. Which would make sense, as Vaati is next to Aghanim (and characters are only represented once) so it can't be him.

Ganondorf and Ganon? Two different characters?! Well, I don't see why not but that could get some storyline theorists out of the woodwork, wouldn't it?
