This game builds further on the cellshaded style of The Windwaker, only this time a more mature Link draws his sword against all kinds of enemies of Skyloft. This drawing shows a determined Link who is about to enter one of the many dungeons spread across the whole game.

A collage reflecting on one of man's most precious gifts, the ability to imagine the future or relive the past, creating a mental picture in which one can roam and wander. This representation defines a rather disturbing side of that skill. Pondering over wars fought and lives lost, the collage embodies a raw form of the emotion that goes with reflecting on one's past.

"Death of a Free Elf" - Dobby in Deathly Hallows (For Sale)

Tanguy Leysen (TanguyLeysen) — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 00:55:59 -0800

This is a hand drawn picture based on one of the saddest scenes in the Harry Potter films, the death of Dobby the House Elf. This brave character followed Harry to the end and showed numerous times how heroic and selfless he really is. This is one of the most likable characters JK Rowling brought to life and it was heartbreaking for every fan of the books and/or films to witness the death of such an innocent creature. The composition of the scene indicates the painful moment of 'saying goodbye', to leave behind everything and everyone you love the most. This artwork has a powerful atmosphere to it and can be a great addition to every fan's or movie/book lover's wall.

"But Death was cunning" Deathly Hallows (For Sale)

Tanguy Leysen (TanguyLeysen) — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 15:55:04 -0800

The style in this artwork was based on a video game, called 'Limbo'. The macabre atmosphere in this game embodies the tone of the fairy tale in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" perfectly. The Tale of the Three Brothers underlines some important morals as 'be humble in life', 'you can't cheat death', 'violence is not the answer', 'life is a gift, so don't waste it',... This quite eery picture can be used as a strong reminder of those morals or as a provocative frame in a bright room. Every Harry Potter fan will instantly recognize this setting (that follows the book more closely than the film) and the critical role it plays in the story of the boy wizard.
