Crazed Fan Illustrates Entire Elden Ring Play through in 600 Page Sketchbook Part 2 Liurnia

[@artyzartifacts9799]

Again I am blown away by all the kind words and support from all who have joined me on this journey. I'm learning so much from doing this project. If you have a journal of your own to share, leave a reply to this comment, I would love to see it. I try to read all the comments in chunks, if I miss you or don't reply know that I appreciate you, even all the negative stuff, Also I'm currently working on a vid going over my process, if you have any questions you want answered reply with a question on this comment. sorry about the audio issues this video, I'm going to try and make sure that doesn't happen again.

[@Birb_boi243]

Gotta know what materials do you use for creating the art throughout your sketchbook. It really captures the vibes of being a real journal a character would create while going through that world.

[@CopleyOne]

You seem like such a nice, humble guy who I'd love to know. I'm looking forward to following your journey, and seeing your art season and grow further. Big fan of your work already!

[@chiqers]

dude this is an EXCELLENT way to not only practice your drawing skills, but also doing it for something you love. I've always wanted to continue drawing, but a lot of the time I don't know what to do. this honestly inspires me to draw stuff from video games! I hope you do something similar in the future! maybe with a different game you love

[@EbonyMcKickass]

I had a phase like that, the not knowing what to draw, many years ago, and I started drawing the different jobs from Final Fantasy Tactics haha. Good times, I highly recommend commemorating your favourite characters from your favourite games and watch yourself progress through the years! I usually keep all my sketchbooks too, but occasionally I've given some away to best friends. Drawings and sketches are also fun to share via snail mail to friends that live in other cities. =D

[@artyzartifacts9799]

Hearing this from many people makes the project even more special to me, gives me extra motivation on the hard days when I don't have the energy.

[@thememeilator2633]

Every time i see Drawings like these i try so hard to analyze what the process could have been to create something so beautiful. Even now i can't see what could have been done to make these images so well. It speaks to his skills in my opinion.

[@InfernalWAVE]

I really hope this series continues and blows up, this is unironically the most creative thing I’ve ever seen someone do for a game they enjoy I also just read the description that says this was inspired by Arthur Morgan’s journal which is just all the more wholesome

[@itskyyuuuu]

The original artwork deserves the attention lol what are you talking about 🤡

[@AlvoriaGPM]

I'm REALLY enjoying this series. It's fascinating to me not only to see your FANTASTIC artwork, but to hear your takes on what's actually going on in the world. Particularly the things you get wrong or aren't sure of, and why you think what you think. Please, never apologize for not being a big lore KZbinr. I watch plenty of those already. Your insights as someone just experiencing the game as an ordinary person (with extraordinary art skills) are valuable and fascinating in their own right. I'm looking forward to Part 3!

[@artyzartifacts9799]

Needed to recharge after going ham on these last two sections, but I'm already back to work on part 3!

[@sylvianstorm]

It’s actually really nostalgic to look at all those npcs, knowing them has been a great experience, even hyetta, broke me to heart when i heard song of despair on the way for her final questline… it’s really one of the best game ever with deep lore and visuals. Thanks for portraying and continuing this series of your elden ring journey!

[@artyzartifacts9799]

Ya i'm a sucker for nostalgia, so revisiting sections of the book when i'm older is gonna be interesting

[@picklejho69]

I can't believe after all these years I've never done this for a game I've played. You've inspired me to try this for Shadow of the Erdtree; I've already prepared the book, I'm super nervous. Also, I believe Hyetta is quite literally Irina's corpse possessed by Shabriri. I could be wrong, but at last check Hyetta won't spawn until Irina has died outside Castle Morne.

[@artyzartifacts9799]

I thought her body remained even after meeting hayetta, or maybe it got patched out, but ya yura does something similiar.

[@Vartazian360]

The talent on display here. This is what i imagine the concept artists being like. So much cool crap here and they had to create this vision for all of it. And you recreated it perfectly. Insane.

[@Duhause22]

“Like the coward that I am.” I’m right there with you bro. Not all battles are won by fighting. This is one of the best things on KZbin I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks for the share!

[@artyzartifacts9799]

straight facts!

[@Duhause22]

Your scale and ratios of the anatomy of the world and its inhabitants are very well done and accurate. Very stylistic.

[@artyzartifacts9799]

I'ts actually strange how specific the proportions of things in the game are. Like rennalas sweetings have oddly longer limbs, like the albinaurics.

[@wmr5143]

PLEASE do an art video about your process and the page layout and stuff, that would be so cool!

[@artyzartifacts9799]

stay tuned should be the next video I do in between the next section to help me avoid burn out.

[@zaltartheomnipotent5421]

It's so inspiring to see someone spend so much time working on art. The sheer amount produced and enthusiasm is infectious. I pulled out my guitar to practice scales so I can fill up a musical 'sketchbook' of things that I enjoy too. Thanks for sharing your work :)

That's what I like to hear!

[@xerxezrax]

i am so serious this needs to be in a museum forever and preserved as a crucial part of human art history.

I hope this series continues.. I listen to this video and the other one literally every night to fall asleep. I listen to the part two video more because the background music is more chill. You really nail the balance right with the volume of voice and volume of music.

[@mikealgee1489]

I love this idea. You've done such an amazing job at it, too. It was a great game to do this sort of thing with. As I was watching it, I just realized how insanely creative Fromsoftware artists are to come up with all these unique designs. I was already somewhat conscious of that, but watching your artwork of them made me appreciate the sheer volume of it. It's incredible! And so are you!

[@user-gn5ge5or7e]

The best part about all of this is that, as you go through this book, we can see your work improving. Seriously, the difference between what I’m seeing now and what I saw at the beginning of the first episode is remarkable. You’ve knocked this out of the park and we can’t wait to see more.

[@artyzartifacts9799]

Limgrave was a fever dream, it was rushed and full of experimenting to figure out what I was doing with the book. In Liurnia I slowed down and and had a game plan, I settled on the calligraphy style and how to balance the in game stuff with my own wacky ideas. All sketchbooks are an evolution like that for me. Sometimes they get worse but I'm learning regardless.

[@user-kj4xt8sp4e]

This touched me really deep. Your love for both the game and art is fascinating and listening to your personal journey is so interesting and calming at the same time. Your approach to both game and art appreciation is really...something. Something really inspiring. From Software MUST see this. Your dedication should be rewarded with DLC's Collector's Edition at the very least, because holy shit, I doubt there's any other person who put SO much appreciation into their game.

[@McMarc_1993]

This is unreal, what an amazing piece of work. takes hundreds upon hundreds of hours of dedication. Big respect.

[@skylas7131]

This is one of the coolest things I have EVER seen. I love exploring characters and people in character, or like... these big moments that stick with you quietly being put into such amazing work. I often think of these things and at most I can do is just write about them haha, no where near the level of artistry. I think the seemed casualness of this collection is what drops people's jaws. This is something you simply worked on for your own sake, and like many creations like it, it's become a true masterpiece.

[@proxyfrog9465]

I hope this gets published one day so I can purchase it. Bravo!

[@ixph]

The effects on either side of the sword of night and flame are beautifully done.

[@artyzartifacts9799]

[@VaroujMahtesi]

This comment might be a bit long but I'd like to tell you something. I found the first part of this video probably a few weeks ago and was absolutely amazed. To be honest I didn't watch the video fully but I was inspired. I'm not an artist, never have been, probably never will be. But last february I was on a trip to Florence with a few of my ex-classmates and my teachers. The point was to study history of art. And I had this journal where I wrote about the history of the places we were visiting since I am a student of archaeology and history is my thing. So I started sketching in my journal what we were seeing - paintings, buildings, sculptures. A few months later I started sketching scenes or characters from different books I was reading and never thought more of it. But after seeing your video and getting inspired I set out to do what you did (in a much, MUCH smaller scale). I was inspired to sketch scenes from movies, TV shows and video games. I'm writing this a few hours after finishing my Blade Runner drawings in my journal - that same journal which is now running out of blank pages. So I sit watching your video and I thank you for the motivation and wish you the best of luck so you can keep doing what you clearly love to do. May God multiply your talent. Much love from Armenia.

[@artyzartifacts9799]

That's crazy cool, if you ever share the book in a video or something let me know, I'm fascinated by these types of things. best of luck thanks for the support!

[@Duhause22]

Most players just run by all these details looking for their next fix. I can tell you not only enjoy the details of the aesthetic but observe your surroundings as well. Need more gamers like you.

[@artyzartifacts9799]

I like that no matter what type of gamer you are, a lot of the stuff from the game gets into the subconscious, I'm just a visual learner so for me the world is like a candy shop for my mind.
