Twilight Princess Character Texture Project

[Skilarbabcock]

Hello, My name is Skilar, and I am starting this little project for Twilight Princess. I noticed that a lot of the texture packs for twilight princess don't seem to have either finished character textures, or they just look off on the polygons. I am to make character textures, that are not only complete, but Fit with all other texture packs along with some other goodies that no other project has had. What I have mostly done right now, is Link's textures. And don't worry, I don't plan to redo them over and over again. My goal for him was to make him look like his Artwork. My ultimate goal for him was to "Make the best Damn Link textures out there". I tried to strike a balance between the artwork, and the official TPHD

Link's Official art: (Show Spoiler)

Something I noticed in these images, is Link had some fairly pronounced muscles definition, so I decided to go ahead and use that as a base for my textures. Without further Ado, here is what I came up with

Showcase: (Show Spoiler)

And now how they look visually in other packs, I hope I was able to make textures that fit all packs.

Other packs: (Show Spoiler)

TomoyaHamaski's pack, which I was once a team member of


Victor Rosa's


And a good friend of mine, Ty andersons

Now what makes this project just a Little different is this
Custom. Models.
Don't get super excited, because as of the moment Links model is not able to be replaced, but I have gone and gave Link a higher poly master sword, and sheath. Along with the Hylian shield and the Beta wooden shield that was re purposed for the ending cut scene with Colin. Also, next update I will be releasing the Magic Armor textures, which will be showcased below with the custom weapons

Coming soon: (Show Spoiler)

Beta wooden shield


High poly Master sword, sheath, and Hylian shield


Magic armor

There is a few more things in the works which will be announced soon, but trust me, you'll be fairly excited once you see it! A good friend of mine is putting together something great!

How YOU can help this project


These textures are all drawn by hand, but they take a lot of time to produce because I am using a pad tablet, which doesn't have a screen. This can make it fairly difficult. Pretty soon I am going to be getting a Cintiq 13HD, when I get my taxes that is, however I am a little short.
So, if you would like to support this project feel free to donate! Anything helps really. It'll really help me with production as well, and in the long run will see this project finished a lot faster. Though, this is not required, it is a free project, as is other texture packs.






And a Link to the textures

His textures aren't quite complete, like Links hair need to be shifted a bit in color, but they are playable. I have to finish his other eye textures, and things like his pants and gauntlets.

The colors on Link's hair and the tunic look a bit too bright, but other than that this looks pretty nice.

Noted my friend! However I did say the hair was still WIP haha.

I further brought it closer to the original texture in terms of brightness. Keep in mind though, the games lighting will make it look brighter in certain area as seen in the screenshots below

The Magic armor has been finished, and Link's hair has also been fixed to better reflect the blonde. I have been without internet for the past few weeks, so I haven't gotten chance to post anything.

Here is a Quick little update, I updated Link a little bit so that he was a little less flat looking

Looking really good thus far! However, I think Link's hair is slightly too blonde and should be a bit darker like it was originally. Just my opinion though!

As I have said before, his design is meant to be like his artwork. His hair is blonde, because it was supposed to be blonde. All of the artwork reflects that. They even tried to fix that in Twilight Princess HD. I'm making Link how he was supposed to, not like the original textures. Rest assured though, since the last update his hair was darkness a little bit as I too thought it was bit too bright.

So I'm not dead, recently finished Link's textures. Idk if I am going to forward with re-texturing all the characters since I can put my Link textures into the Wii U version, but none the less here is an update video
