Description Edit: '10 draws

Something is moving in the corner of his eye. Wheeling Agro around, he spots an enormous figure making it's way into the distance...

-

Speedpaint with Shadow of the Colossus in mind. 2 hours, maybe. Photoshop CS (though no special brushes used)

I guess it can be viewed as water or a desert.

Most of the good SotC fanarts have the colossus really big and Wander and Agro really small. Now... role reversal.

i think you should've used blues, greens, greys, etc to depict the sky like SOTC does to really be true to the atmosphere sotc tries to create.

but i like the silohette of argo and wanderer

Oooh This is really nice. I love the color scheme and the way your background really fades into the distance. I've never played Shadow of Colossus but this makes me want to.

OutOfTheOrange [2008-07-25 06:40:08 +0000 UTC]

Ohhh, Shadow of the Colossus. There's way too little fanart for this around here (not to mention its predecessor ICO). This is beautiful!

Serain In reply to OutOfTheOrange [2008-07-25 07:43:06 +0000 UTC]

There really is not enough! But my heart is warmed by the fact that what fanart there is is quite good. I actually never played ICO but I imagine it's pretty awesome.

OutOfTheOrange In reply to Serain [2008-07-25 07:52:30 +0000 UTC]

Ohhhh, ICO is amazing. Tough to find these days, though - it came out during the very early days of the PS2, which was several years ago.

Serain In reply to OutOfTheOrange [2008-07-25 08:05:06 +0000 UTC]

...Damnit. I probably won't find it at Gamestop, then. Maybe I can look... SotC was awesome, and I think I'd die to play another one.

OutOfTheOrange In reply to Serain [2008-07-25 17:33:48 +0000 UTC]

Haha. Well, ICO and SoT are vastly different in your goals and the setting and storyline. But you're still pretty much trying to rescue some girl (except in this case you have to pull her around everywhere with you), and there's a great sense of epicness that's consistent in both games - unlike Wander, who gallops about practically the entire continent in search of gigantic monsters, ICO's just stuck in one castle. Granted though, it is a MASSIVE castle.

Thank u for the great Colossus art, and yes there is but not enough to do the game justice, we need more, lots more.

Serain In reply to NCloud [2008-07-22 20:21:51 +0000 UTC]

That's true, I suspect the reason is because there's not much "fandom" for it if you know what I mean.

There is a big Fan base for Colossus, but not much in deviant.

LOL, thats true, but i am sure once the PS3 version of the game comes out, we might see more stuff on deviant, Ohhhhh cant wait for that one.

The phalanx was my favorite too. I beat it in one try (because it's like, impossible to die).

The colossi are really intimidating creatures when you're up close, but really just peaceful when you're not trying to stab the shit outta them.

bellicosus In reply to Serain [2008-07-14 21:58:16 +0000 UTC]

Lol, so true.

God seeing this gave me SUCH AND URGE to play the game again, so I did. And my soul wept at how good it hurt.

SotC is worth playing again, especially the speed runs, those are kinda fun. You should draw some SotC too.

I was really inspired by the game and some art I've seen around. There's lots of amazing enviornment-oriented art, and that does seem to be my general focus lately.

Serain In reply to dire-musaera [2008-06-05 08:52:36 +0000 UTC]

I'm really glad I'm distinctive. I'm trying to expand myself on backgrounds a little bit. The beams of light in this one were really difficult to do (but I think it was a success here), and I'm really weak with foliage / any type of archetecture / any kind of background that requires significant detail.

Subscribers get thumbs on their deviation messages, eh? that's pretty cool.

Shadow of the Colossus is still one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. Mark of Kri coming in a close second.

Serain In reply to electromancer [2008-06-06 04:27:01 +0000 UTC]

I've never played that, and yeah, SotC is some really pretty shit. Probably why it doesn't get much bad fanart.

electromancer In reply to Serain [2008-06-06 04:59:27 +0000 UTC]

Mark of Kri was awesome because of how it was portrayed. You watched as the scenes for each area were drawn. *sigh* Now I want to play it again.....

The-Russian-Gestapo [2008-06-05 01:30:02 +0000 UTC]

That was one of the most epic battles in SOTC and I'm almost certain that I had a moment like this (only less sunset-y and more like "holy crap!"). Awesome rays of sunlight you captured there.

Heh, I remember how my manual incorrectly named the protagonist as Wanda. XD

Serain In reply to The-Russian-Gestapo [2008-06-05 04:50:49 +0000 UTC]

And Wander's manliness dropped by twenty points on that sad day. I figured that it wouldn't be the actual battle, just wander wandering around and seeing one of the colossus in the distance, roaming about (they gotta do something with their time, yaknow)
