AnElden Ringplayer has documented their journey through the game in a sketchbook spanning hundreds of pages, and it’s certainly a feast for the eyes.
The Lands Between is a vast place filled with all manner of wonderous and nightmarish sights, so much so that when it came to launching the official Elden Ring artbook, there was enough content to filltwo separate 400-page volumes. Now, on top ofFromSoftware’s official offerings, one fan - and very talented artist - has taken it upon themselves to illustrate their entire playthrough in a 600-page sketchbook that brings the action-RPG to life in a whole new way.
A few pages in, we’re treated to both illustrations and text detailing the Confessor - the class the player started out with - and some smaller pieces showcasing the Chapel of Anticipation and the Grafted Scion, which, if you’ve played Elden Ring, likely gave you your first taste of defeat. Then we get to Limgrave: its stunning scenery, unusual inhabitants, and fearsome foes, all beautifully represented across the numerous pages.
This video covers just a fraction of the sketchbook, ending with the player restoring Godrick’s Great Rune, having bested the demigod in battle. The next major area, Liurnia of the Lakes, will be covered in a separate video, which Artzy Artifacts is planning to release before the month is out.
The excruciating wait for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is a blessing and a curse for the action RPG.
