Description Inspired by an art collaboration I'm taking part in this month, I wanted to give a large sense of scale of the sacrificial cleric standing against the awakening mouth of the dark god he had summoned.

Inspired by Ingward?

Sadly no, I actually wasn't aware of Ingward when I painted this having not played any of the Souls games (yet! I will, one day lol). Β It was more inspired by a mix of old Northern Renaissance religious paintings (they used lots of red) and the MtG card Invoke Prejudice, mixed in with Lovecraftian creepiness.

But yeah, from what I've seen the designwork in the Souls series (and Bloodborne too) are crazycool and I'm looking forward to playing them one day.

It's really interesting idea, and the main character at start is hard to see, after a while you understand what's on art in fact, really like this one.

Thanks Originally he was a bit bigger but I wanted to push the scale of things further so I made him a lot smaller; he was a little smaller at one point in the piece but it felt a little too small to me

That would be... so scary. Β I certainly wouldn't want to walk into that.Β

I can see the animation in my mind, the cleric walks to the top of the steps and slowly you see giant teeth unfurling from the wall, like slabs of stone emerging out of wet concrete, and when it has finally opened fully it releases this incredibly fetid, noxious exhalation before consuming the sacrificial body.

Something like that..and no, I wouldn't want to volunteer for that, either haha

I think I might have nightmares xD

Of course, the nightmares I have can be kinda fun... sometimes! Β  I've not had one in quite some time.

I have some odd ones at times, but I don't think I've ever had something like this... this would be, hmm.. startling... haha

Thank you very much The follow-up to this will be fun, something on a smaller scale, lumbering around

The background looks so, so creepy! I love the contrast you created between the red and the dark colours. Amazing!Β

Thanks, glad you liked it Β The mobile, walking-around version will be fun, too... a bit smaller, nowhere near as large, but it can come after you now haha

Haha! xD You could draw that version too, I think it would be awesome.Β
