Zeckron, thanks for the well wishes. I got started on that pillar drawing but didn't get too far with it--honestly, I've been working at a fever pitch to get ahead at work (so I don't have too much to do when I get back), and I just haven't had time for much else. Word of wisdom with Illustrator: I highly suggest using the pathfinder tools when you're working with complex shapes like the Zora emblem on the pillar. These tools allow you to cut one shape out of another, or add two shapes together, or a number of other options that involve combining and subtracting shapes. The tools can be found by opening the Pathfinder panel (Window>Pathfinder), and the icons help to demonstrate what each button does--play around with it a bit, and you'll get the hang of it in no time.
Enterthehatrix--I wish I had seen your post earlier so I could respond to it... I wish I still had my Xbox so I could plug the controller in and see what the buttons do, but I don't (sold it a while ago). If anyone could do that with an Xbox (or similar) controller, and map out which button goes where, that would be a good starting point--from there, it's just a matter of arranging the A,B and C buttons on screen to match (or closely mimic) the controller buttons (similar to how the GC buttons on-screen look like the controller buttons). If no one can do it, I'll see about working on it when I get back.
Wish I didn't have to leave at the last minute like this--I knew a while ago that I may have to go out of town, but I wasn't positive until last night... so, yeah.
I'll talk to ya'll later.
