Kindred Skin inspired by The Legend of Zelda

Kindred Skin Ideas 
Hi all, the name's Parelion! These are two skin design concepts I created for Kindred some days ago! I posted them on my Twitter and Tumblr, and I thought that maybe I could post them on this board too (I hope this is the right section), because I saw a recent post (some hours ago) that suggested a Majora's Mask skin, so I thought "Why not posting it here too?". I'm copying the text from my original post. The idea behind Kindred, personification of Death in Runeterra, is amazing, and from the concept of masks, I came up with skins inspired by “The Legend of Zelda”! 
The first concept is “Majora’s Kindred”, inspired by Majora’s Mask. Being Lamb and Wolf the “peaceful” and “violent” death, respectively, I gave them masks that could reinforce this idea, so Wolf gets the scary Majora’s mask ( http://gsoul.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/zeldamask.png ), and Lamb the Fierce Deity, used by the hero of the story. The Lamb look is inspired by Fierce Deity’s appearance, with some tweaks to the armor, that couldn’t be complete. The arrow is inspired by Fierce Deity’s Sword, but the two parts are separated ( http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/images/2/2a/Fierce_Deity_Link.png/revision/latest?cb=20100124002042 ). The iconic “You’ve met a terrible fate, haven’t you?” quote, from Majora’s Mask, looked perfect for the theme. The second one (that you can see in the link) is “Twilight Kindred”. Here, Lamb is inspired by Midna, “Twilight Princess”’s companion ( http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/images/8/8f/Midna_2.png/revision/latest?cb=20090725164636 ), while the bow is inspired by “Skyward Sword” Sacred Bow, but with different colors that recall the twilight style in this Legend of Zelda game. ( http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/images/3/3a/Sacred_Bow.png/revision/latest?cb=20120517183102 )
Wolf is inspired by one of the enemies Link faces in the story. ( http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/images/f/f1/Shadow_Beast.png/revision/latest?cb=20090513002822 )
I hope that you liked these skins, I had a lot of fun drawing them, and thinking about the connections I could insert to the original games. 
(I’m sorry if there are grammar mistakes, I usually don’t write in english very much, I tried my best)
If you’ve read all the post through here, thank you so much! Let me know what you think about them in the comments!

switch the masks to go with the "small part of the other" feel that Kindred has

You mean giving Majora's mask to Lamb, and Fierce Deity's to Wolf? That's a really cool idea, I didn't think about that, it would show way better the connection between them! Thank you for the comment!

Hi, Warchief Rylon, thank you very much for your comment, I'm glad you liked the concepts! Yes, my style is on a very low level, I'm trying to improve, day by day. The fact that you said you'd like to see more skins made me happy, thanks!

A really cool concept, but I think you need to go a bit further away from the inspiration for the concept to be viable. Just stay true to a lot of the colours, but make your own patterns and shapes :) Keep up the good work!

How did you get your concept art onto the page?

You post a URL of an image, and it will automatically get displayed.

It's as DRCyanide said. Specificall, when you create a new discussion, after the "Title" section there's "Link", where you can add one, if you want.

I am sorry, it was my first comment on the boards, I kinda rushed it, and didn't think of that third option...I don't know if I can edit the poll. (I'm really happy that you liked both the concepts, thank you!)
