That is, assuming he/she is actually working, and not just drawing…
The last fan created texture we posted on here was the Nicholas Cage package for Majora’s Mask. While not as entertaining (or scary) as that, this texture is definitely more down-to-earth. A fan has begun transforming some of the graphics from Twilight Princess into the graphics in Skyward Sword. I wasn’t sure what to expect…
