Description I've been trying to get into Dark Souls pvp recently after plowing through the single player bits yet another time. I watch a ton of Dark Souls lore vids on youtube like those over at EpicNameBro and VaatiVidya's channels. I thought it'd be a cool idea to have those who are involved with the Abyss together in one picture. I hope I got everyone, I'm no DS lore expert, i dunno if anyone is really since most of it is guess work, but I think I got the major players in there. Manus, Dusk and the Golden Golem, Sif and Artorias as well as one of the Four Kings and Ingward. Had to scan this thing in 4 pieces, it was just too damn big for my scanner. I'm probably gonna frame it but if someone wants to make me an offer on it I'm willing to listen...although honestly it'd have to be pretty substantial.

Micron Pens, Copic Markers (warm and cool greys), white Gelly Roll gel pen, white Permapaque marker and a fat ass black Sharpie chisel tip marker.

An awsome piece of work, you git there. ItΒ΄s a quite good idea with the micro pen, so free from hand. But why looks lady dusk so grim ^^.
Still, i hope to see more. May the flame guide thee.

Every time again. It was just interesting to see such detail in every single char. I also did a tribute to dark souls, but only for Kaathe. There is so musch lore in this Game, which is absolutely amazing. ^^

This is really cool looking. I guess if you've played Dark Souls 2 now if you ever did that "Redraw this pic" thing you could include Nashandra.

there are things i'm likin about it so far and things that kinda bother me atm. feels like they just too a lot of the preexisting stuff from DS1 and made smaller prettier versions of it in DS2...anor londo v2.0, tomb of the giants/gravelord servants v2.0, blight town v 2.0, the forest v 2.0, etc etc. plus every boss i've fought so far i've soloed mainly just by staying on their nuts and strafing to the right, then there was ornstein v 2.0, crestfallen dude v2.0, so on and so forth. Β 

the thing i dug about the first one was the amazing story that revealed more of itself the more you looked at things...but also how creative and new a lot of the stuff was (granted even then they took a lot of stuff from demon's souls) and how all the levels were connected, like you could be in the Undead Parish and see the Lower Undeadburg, the church with the bell, the bridge with the drake, the forest...it felt like everything was connected (and it in fact was through small passageways and stuff that could be approached from more than 1 way), now with level 1 lord vessel they don't need to do that.

gonna keep giving it a go and i hope it changes my mind but i'm just kinda disappointed so far :/

King-Krown In reply to SickJoe [2014-04-27 01:41:41 +0000 UTC]

I can completely understand that. I do kind of feel that way to. Though there are some levels/bosses that really stand out and don't seem like a rehash from the previous title.
Far as the bosses go, I did just about the same thing,soled just about everyone, I can really decide is it because I played D1 so much, and it trained me well? or is it just easier?
I used quite a few bonfire ascetics, they will add something new at lv2 and 3 pending on the map, but it doesn't keep changing.Β 

I think the reason Dark Souls 1 felt so connected with the world is because it started out with like one path and broke into more as you played, every-time you got a new path something connected to your older one. yea I guess the Lord vessel made them get lazy on that aspect.

They story was amazing in Dark Souls 1,I've never played a game that did a story like Dark souls 1 before,Β I kind of felt it would be hard to top in the 2nd game. It still raises questions and makes me want to look into things. though a certain part of the story feels TOO similar to the first.

Well If you playing on PC and the difficulty is meh right now, their are bound to be mods on it later, though that sucks it would come to that. I'm on a console, I get what I get =/
Also,though it would disable your ability to summon Phantoms, The covenant of champions adds a little spice to the game.
I hope you find something you like in it to change your mind.
but I jumped back on Dark souls 1 to get a friend into it, I will say Dark souls 2 feels more responsive,dual welding has a point to me now,no weapon feels "bad", the game itself is prettier ..which kind of messes with me playing Dark souls 1 ._., it feels like an eyesore to look at the dark,gloomy, levels sometimes lol =/

making it into the second half of the game and new stuff is being introduced that i'm diggin. that smelter demon and the headless medusa were pretty rad. Β i'm still tryin to be open minded until i finish the game. Β the 3 sentinel fight was fun because it didn't involve nut hugging and strafing...well not exclusively lol.

Yea,Iron Keep was awesome,one of My favorite Maps.
Areas get better toward the end in my opinion,the newer looking ones.
XD yea...the 3 sentinels made it hard to do that.....until I got down to the last one that is lol.Β

The amount of detail is freaking mind-blowing! This is just SO MUCH WIN! You should definitely do some like this with Anor Londo as the theme, instead of the Abyss. Actually, you should do this for every area in the game, really.
