What I love about the game is the fact that Drmin is both a Villain and Good Guy.
He could have just said "Go kill these and I'll bring your dead friend back to life." Without warning Wander of this.
He DID warn Wander of a very big price he would have to pay for his deeds.

Best Game in the world and you captured it perfectly

the punishment he takes through the entire game is both inspiring and saddening.

its an amazing game and my favorite and i have to say this fanart does wander perfect justice

Woah, this looks great!
So, is the background a filter or something? If so and you still have the original file, could you draw out the shadow and place him on a bit larger paper - say 1680x1050? If it's not a filter remaking it could be hard, though.

I absolutely adore your artwork of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. You capture the feel of the games perfectly while adding your own little bit of style, artistically. 'Tis awesome.

I saw the title and I thought "That's Hercules?"

Nice work. I can never work with only two tones-- I always wanna clutter it up with lots of useless details. Heh!

I like it a lot, though.

I think ICO will be re-released when Shadow of the colossus comes out. But that may be only in europe. I'm not sure.

Thanks much!! This game and ICO are my two favorite games of all time. They're just so beautiful!
And this piece was done in Open Canvas 3.03E with some textures overlayed in Photoshop : D

Ixregardo [2005-12-01 21:36:28 +0000 UTC]

So, hey, I was looking at the picture and thought it looked like Ico! And look at that, it's from Shadow. Same developers. I feel so smart.
Anyway. I really love the style you used for it.... great color scheme!
