Need an artist for my Legend of Zelda Comic. Here is a sort of synopis of the story:


Leg
end of Zelda: Son of Farore
Prologue
In the beginning, the three goddesses Farore, Nayru, and Din created the known world. Din sculpted the solid earth and gave shape to the world. Nayru provided law and order for the world, creating the skies, the forces, and the elements. And finally, Farore gave life to the world, creating the trees, the people, the beasts, and the spirits. And so the world came into being, and the world continued. But the story of the three Goddesses doesn’t end there.
The goddesses were the three children of Trilentius, Lord over all. Upon their return to the heavens, the goddesses were each given a chosen being to which they might bond with to secure their safety. Din was given a sturdy spirit of fire, Eldin, whom she granted immense power. Nayru was given Lanayru, a servant of the water in a human form. To him she gave a beastly form of pure power that allowed him control over all the elements. Farore was given the nature spirit Yldis, and to him she gave an acute connection with nature and life itself. But her heart was weary, for Yldis was a very self-absorbed spirit, and cared only for Farore because of her great power. One day, Farore corrected Yldis, and he smote her with a dastardly blow. So she left, weeping and decimated. Her weeping made the clouds drop rain, and her decimation made the skies go dark. She left the heavens and descended to the world below, and took a human form. There she lay for an entire day and night. Then, an adventure named Faron, found her in the woods and took her home.
When she awoke, Faron had tended to her, and given her clothes. After they made acquaintances, they began to grow very fond of each other. They began to bond, and she began to become accustomed to life in the world below, with everyone unbeknownst to the fact that she was one of the very Goddess’s that created the world. Then, on a cool summer night, the two bonded in the way of humans, and in Farore’s womb a child developed. Faron was now no longer human. He was a being of extreme power, and feared by his people. Beasts were at his beckon call. The trees obeyed his every command. It was here that Farore told Faron the truth. And here also is when Yldis arrived to retake Farore. With his new found power, Faron challenged Yldis for Farore’s favor. So in a battle of flora, fauna, and mortal strength, Faron defeated Yldis permanently. But he himself had sustained a fatal injury. With Farore at his side, Faron knew the only way to survive and watch his child be born was to leave his physical form behind, and watch over the woods as a spirit.
Now bound to the physical realm with a child in her womb, a paradox ensued in which Farore was now bound to the physical world, while Faron was forced to watch from the heavens as the guardian of the forest. For his enduring bravery, the people named the woods the ‘Faron Woods’. And so life went on. Farore now lived in solitude among the trees, comforted by Faron’s omnipresence in the trees and beasts, but her heart was aching because in truth, he wasn’t near her at all. And so for 15 years she waited in those woods. It was not normal for a child to take this long to be born. His power was growing… and most of all, his courage. And after 15 years, she gave birth to a son… and in his eyes she could see Faron. She hid him away in a basket, and floated him down a stream. He was found by the people of Ordon Village, and a young swordsman, Rusl, took him in. And he named him: Link.

Synopsis:
The Legend of Zelda: Son of Farore, Vol. 1 will follow the journeys of Link as he attempts to free his mother, the Goddess of Courage Farore, from an eternal sleep caused by an unknown force. This series is very story and lore oriented, and focuses around a very complex weaving of intertwining stories, characters, and conflicts. The first few issues will begin with the origin of Link’s awareness of his heritage, in which he finds out that he is the Son of Farore. He then must make his way, with the help of Rusl, his adopted father, Athena, his childhood friend, and Tut, a Deku boy whom Link saved from a Moblin Brute, to the deepest parts of Faron Woods, and enter the temple of Farore. When he arrives, he finds that she is in a deep, unbreakable sleep. Although she slumbers, she is capable of using some of her energy to give Link a gift that she had been waiting to give him since the day he was born… the Heroes Robes (Link’s normal attire). She tells him that these garments will allow him to speak to her anytime it is required. Even though she sleeps, she can still speak. She tells Link that he must find the Princess of Hyrule, for she is the key to her reawakening. So Link sets off, away from everything he has ever known… and into the vast expanses of the world of Hyrule.

Or if you like, can you just get me a rough draft of the cover art of the first issue? It's a view of Link standing in the forest in a heroic pose, and instead of his normal green attire, he's wearing normal clothing (shirt, breeches, boots, etc). He's holding the ordon sword in his right hand and a wooden shield in his left hand. Any other minor details are up to you. Just post it on this thread when your done.
And if anyone else wants to attempt, please feel free.
