Crazed Lunatic Illustrates Entire Elden Ring Play Through In 600 Page Sketchbook/ Part 1 Limgrave

This sketchbook was inspired by Arthur Morgan's journal in RDR2. So I decided to fill up an entire book with my Elden ring play through.
I will be making a video for all the major areas. This a fan made project for fun, for practice, and love of the game created by Fromsoft.
I do not claim to have created any of the characters or anything from this world.
I also used some map layouts from an artist named IAN OD AKA The mediocre artist who mapped out certain areas of the game because
I wanted to avoid the tedium involved, be sure to check out his work. I cannot sell this book, and this video will not be monetized
by me since I do not own the copyrights to this property and I reference a few works from other artists.
The majority of the art was made painstakingly by me as a labor of love.

[@artyzartifacts9799]

Jesus christ, thanks for the overwhelming support and positive comments. Despite my cringe narration and amateur artwork it seems like there are a few folks who at least got something out of this video. I want to emphasize I do not claim to be a great artist or a reasonable sane individual, I fill up these giant sketchbooks because I suck and want to get better. I do these videos because I'm a shy awkward dork who sucks at real life interactions. I wanted to study what from soft did with this game and have fun doing it. Please read the description of this video if this is unclear. If for any reason people have a problem with this video I'll simply pull it and I'll keep my journal to myself as originally intended. Thanks again!

@@badtuber1654 no

[@Sebstrion]

​@@badtuber1654 Look, i love Gothic 1, 2 and Witcher 1, 2, 3 but i also love Elden Ring. The Story telling is completely different. Elden Ring doesn't tell you the whole story, you have to come up with it trough environmental storytelling. Elden Ring is like a Riddle, meanwhile in Witcher and Gothic you can't really miss the story if you listen to the NPC's. One story telling isn't better than the other, they are just different.

[@Jaezon]

To think that some people criticized this game by saying it contains no story or narrative, and then this guy just documents his entire adventure, capturing the experience and story it provided him. Excellent work!

[@I-VisiBomb-I]

actually theres two ways to look at this. one, its games like The Last of Us, which provided you a story that you walk along in and everything is dictated for you, a pre-made narrative. then theres games like elden ring, which provide you with the options for stories, but its up to you to play the part. a choice based narrative. the latter has "less story" since you're the one who makes it up yourself, while the former has "more story" because you're handed the actual story from the developers mind already. not that one is a better approach than the other, its just a matter of narratology vs ludology, and thats fine.

[@onetoman]

@@I-VisiBomb-Ithat’s the best part of souls games while it shares many aspects of a rpg game like dragon quest and Skyrim you could argue that you having a choice in your adventure is the the best alternative rather then doing the story though it’s optional for me exploring and farming early always works with games like this since the devs know the players mind

[@CM-iz5ny]

People criticize this not having a story? Its probably the most narrative rich game since the last of us. What are they smoking.

[@TSpoon823]

Yeah I think people get mad at the main endings, for one as they appear to be anti-climactic on the surface. But there is certainly a narrative, not only a compelling backstory. The narrative is told much more like real life than a work of fiction and that's always been From's style. You don't realize what the narrative was until after the fact and even then it's unclear. But that's intentional. And the more I've played it, the more invested I've been in the world of Elden Ring.

[@jusps3989]

I don't completely like it but i don't dislike it either but if someone enjoys it then enjoy it have fun if you like it then im happy for i really like this video because of it he just shows how much he loves it and it makes me so happy for me What im trying to say is enjoy what you enjoy not what people tell you to be happy with what you are happy

[@austenmoydell4357]

Absolutely love your drawings and the journal! What a cool way to commemorate the playthrough!!

[@louisboyer7282]

This is the best work I ever seen. I’m living my whole experience again as it was a real part of my Life.

Man that sketchbook is pure GOLD.

[@aced4fun]

A lot of this stuff looks like actual depictions from old medieval art, reminds me why I fell in love with Elden Ring Amazing stuff!

[@azvka]

Such a great way to view someone else's experience

[@takumifujiwara9181]

I just imagine the art director and level designers watching your video with a smile.

[@alch3myst]

Dude: please never ever doubt your talent! This is so insanely good! Artist to artist: this is objectively amazing and a really cool project

[@franciscat.2269]

I don't know anything about Elden Ring, but your drawings are STUNNING.

[@artyzartifacts9799]

Thanks, I'm not sure how weird it is for someone who didn't play the game lol

[@jameshardy6277]

Simply magical. What an amazing way to capture your memories of Elden Ring.

[@valentinvilla9622]

No lie, watching this takes me back to when I used to draw Pokemon back in the day Like, this is pure love. I'm kinda feeling emotional, like damn, I didn't even think people still loved experiencing games this much I would ask if someone could scan this or at best, publish it, but at this point it feels too personal. It's like selling someone's childhood diary

[@artyzartifacts9799]

Glad you got something positive out of this video.

[@denovopress7048]

We agree! We'd love to work with him on getting this or something similar in print! Actually just started playing ER again and getting my dex/bleed build ass kicked 😢

[@Juliana-Sunnyday]

“Crazed lunatic”, more like AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND, the illustrations are beautiful!!!!! If you made this like, an art book to buy, I’d get it in a heartbeat, it’s so pretty!!!

[@zypalitra8080]

I'd genuinely buy a leatherbound book of this. It's absolutely gorgeous!

[@artyzartifacts9799]

I would too, but no fromsoft doesn't make em so I made my own

[@SadCats666]

Bro this is actually cool as hell 1 of a kind passion project kind of thing, I think it’s dope asf

[@brandondouglas4216]

I can’t believe anyone wouldn’t see this and feel a wave of appreciation and nostalgia for their first play through. The excitement in your voice brings me right back. This really is remarkable

[@llNightRoudll]
