Description Today I finally finished Dark Souls — it took me neary 82 hours over the course of more than a month! What an experience!

This painting took a little less time, fortunately. Nice how both projects more or less got finished at the same time — so this is sort of my celebration.

Wow great piece right there! Love the detail of the armor and the crest shield! Its so nice. I just finished the game today myself. Already on NG+. Probably one of my top favorite games of all time! Wonderful job!

Originally I planned on forging it into a fire sword - but alas, I missed some vital shards or somethings, and I ended up not doing it. Perhaps when I play through it again I#ll find the right ingredients.

I feel like I am cursed by Eternity when I play Dark Souls, to be unable to die and meet an End afterwards is indeed an immortal curse set upon me... but alas... I have been given a task which I must fulfill if I am to meet my End, if an End is fated before me I will wait and wait...

Had a similar looking character myself but had normal night armour torso as didn't like the livery on the elite knight armour. Started again now as a unarmed enigma (club and plank shield) loving the game glad i bought the limited edition. Love the picture awesome

whiteless In reply to Seejus [2012-01-20 16:00:46 +0000 UTC]

yeah.. it is best suited for a warrior or a knight. But its reach and power is well worth the price.

So did you mirror the image?
Or is there a left hand mode in the game?
Otherwise you would not be able to attack with the Zweihander properly or am I wrong?^^
The piece itself is just stunning, as for me it perfectly captures the beauty and terrifying experience of Dark Souls - I love it

great work man! now, the question to ask... is that a rendition of your character in dark souls O.o

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Kaffeebohnson In reply to DsLEFTHAND [2011-12-17 16:25:38 +0000 UTC]

Not quite. I used the elite knight armor at the first half of the game, and later switched it around a lot. For the last third or so, I looked like this: [link] (I'm a Knizard!)

When I started the painting early during my playthrough, I was inspired by the elite knight armorset. Later I thought about changing the character around to more closely resemble my ingame model, but it didn't work and looked off, so I stuck with it the way it was.

hmmm. Okay I have to ask, what armor is the guy wearing? Or is it just your design because I've been somewhat looking for a set of armour now that looks like this because of how awesome this picture is.

Kaffeebohnson In reply to Argetlam350 [2011-12-10 17:31:48 +0000 UTC]

It's my own design, I'm afraid But it is loosely based on the Elite Knight Armor. Fully upgraded it is one of the best armor sets in the game, I believe.

Argetlam350 In reply to Kaffeebohnson [2011-12-10 17:49:26 +0000 UTC]

Ah I see. Cool design. Ya it's really great armour fully upgraded. out of curiousity what soul level are you and what playthrough are you on. I find the game so addicting that I'm nearly on my fourth playthrough and level 181.

Kaffeebohnson In reply to Argetlam350 [2011-12-13 22:40:33 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for asking ^^ I am close to Lvl. 100 I think, and started my second playthrough — I found it to be a little too easy though, much of the brutal appeal was lost once I could breeze through enemies and bosses alike and knew what was coming anyways. I love the NG+ feature (every game with character progression should have it), but after over 80 hours spent on my first playthrough, I needed a break for a while. I will replay it sometime in the near future, of course. And I am sure it will get challenging again soon.

I can't wait for a sequel with new lands to explore and die in!

Argetlam350 In reply to Kaffeebohnson [2011-12-14 00:05:38 +0000 UTC]

Ya, but a lot of the later bosses get buffed up a ton (Four Kings and Gywn the most, or at least to me they seem to). So the first few bosses shall definitely be easy but later, they become tough.
I'm trying to platinum it currently. Only three more trophies.

Prepare to die I wish Demon's Souls would come out for X360... so it's great that Dark Souls went multiplatform.

I am working on another painting right now btw.
