I guess since this is Link, I will go for an anime look, or depends on the reference pictures. At the moment, I have none because the sculpt is still scheduled to be started by the end of the month, maybe sooner. Still need to finish some stuff.

SO, this is a good time to post reference pics of how you guys want him to look.

If I had to choose, I would go with the first one, but it's an unofficial artist representation of Link. Lets look for some official pics, unless you guys want a little "realistic" approach.

Im down for whatever everyone decides.

I WANT THE FIRST PIC!!!!!....I like Anime but i have never been a big fan of the big eyes.....so a happy medium for me would be to have the first pic....!!!!....

It's best to go for the Twilight Princess look exactly in all aspects. I think it is the most widely liked Link design and that way it can be completely consistent with the outfit and weaponry. It's also a semi realistic look too so it works well in 3D.

I wouldn't mind a more realistic style for the headsculpt akin to the first painting there, but the outfit needs to be just as it appears in TP - it's pretty much the quintessential Link.

Eyes are too big on the second pic...like annoying big....lol

 

[liuskusuma]

The first picture look a little girlish IMO :dunno.
I'm ok with the second picture.

 

[Cheungkinmen]

Get the discussion going guys, there's a lot of people on the list, let's hear from all of you.

Honestly, I'd be uninterested in the project if the sculpt looked anything like the first pic suggested.

The big eyes and anime look is how we've seen Link for years and it's how I would want a 1/6 representation of him on my shelf.

Of course to not look totally CGI rendered and flat there should be a compromise between the game look and real world texture. But I think therein lies the most subjective part of the sculpt. We have to take into account how the outfit and accessories, including the leather parts, will look combined with his head.

Just a few pics of my favorite Link representations...

Thanks for the pic Balrog. I like this one a lot:
