Description

Fourth Colossi: Phaedra
'The Horse'

"Thy next foe is...
In the land of vast green fields, along rows of guiding graves.
Giant it is, but fearful it is not."


What you can't see in this picture are the very, very long thin legs of the Colossus, due to the cut of the composition. Any further zoomed out, and I couldn't have done the level of detail I wanted.

'Shadow of the Colossus' is a spectacular game that anyone with a PS2 should at least give a try. It's fairly hit or miss, I suppose. But in terms of presentation and atmosphere, it is truely one of the few games you could class as an 'art house' game :XD:. But seriously, it is a beautiful experience and I've wanted to do a fanart of it since I first picked up the game. The creatures are such wonderful designs.... and I've been told my monster arts are my most impressive pieces so.....

I had trouble deciding which Colossi to do, as I love almost all of their designs, but one night I just started this one. The soundtrack is great inspirational music.
I've given thought to drawing more... I may attempt to over time do a set of all 16, but to be honest, I probably lack the technical skill and dedication. But we'll see... I imagine even if I did manage to do so, it'd be between other random drawings.
As per usual, A3 pencil and ink picture, but only an A4 scanner. So scanned twice, pieced together and given the border treatment in Photoshop.

Compliments to Belle for providing fresh inking pens in a time of crisis. My first new sketch since coming to University.

I really appreciate any time taken to give feedback or thoughts you may have on the picture, so please don't hesitate to leave them, and faves really brighten up my day when people like my art enough to add them. :)
Cheers in advance.

im sure there is but because of google's shifty image search chances of finding them are low.in any case this is still great work.
