Meet The Linktober Rangers!
The Rangers are participants of Linktober 2016 that showed an active interest in the continued growth of the challenge. It has been and will be their jobs to aid me (Joel) in coming up with new ideas for the main challenge, spreading the word of Linktober itself to all around the world, and with resharing everyone's work on social media. The Rangers are from around the world and are talented individuals in art with passions for the Legend of Zelda. 2017 is about growing Linktober and they are here to help. Do yourselves a favor and learn more about them below.
The Rangers:
ARPAD OKAY
Arpad Okay is an illustrator and critic living in Boston, MA. He writes weekly columns for DoomRocket.com and produces an unhealthy amount of fan art for pleasure and by request. He fell for Zelda hard with Link's Awakening on the Game Boy (despite being unable to get past Key Cavern) and has been in love ever since.
LAURA
Laura is a traditional artist from Australia. She has been drawing ever since she could remember, her passion even lead her to study illustration at university. She was lucky enough to have a Nintendo 64 as she was growing up and this is where her passion for video games, particularly The Legend of Zelda, began. Video games and pop culture are consistently seen in her artwork, which she sells at conventions around Australia.
KYLE BOSS
Kyle is a Michigan-based graphic designer, aspiring illustrator, husband and father of two. His introduction to the Legend of Zelda was on a friend's NES, but he didn't own or finish a title until Ocarina of Time on the N64. It quickly became his favorite series and has stayed so ever since. Kyle has a hard time picking a favorite title but is currently loving Breath of the Wild and The Wind Waker is a strong contender. Inktober/Linktober proved to be a great challenge to help him stretch his skills last year and he looks forward to tackling it again with fresh ideas.
CHELSEA PRAY
Chelsea is a comic artist and illustrator based in Minneapolis, MN. She's been in love with The Legend of Zelda since she was little and has been drawing for just as long! Soaking up nature, interacting with animals, bonding with her friends, and playing video games make her happiest. Currently she's working on a graphic novel called Legends in the Wind.
