Artist's Comments

It's kind of funny....a few years ago I did an ICO fanart in about 20 minutes, just a quick nothing of a sketch that I really didn't think twice about. As it turns out, that piece has been one of the most popular of my works on dA. Go fig XD Well, I just stumbled over it again and decided I'd like to do a companion piece for it of Wander and the Colossus (or Shadow of the Colossus as the US title goes)

This took more like an hour rather than 20 minutes, but it was a fun sketch to do. More quick and emotive rather than painstaking and detailed. Also, apparently I have a thing with sunbeams lately o_o Ah well, hope you enjoy~!

that is one nifty quicksketch.

i gotta say that game really was awesome. ico...i don't think it stood up to time as well, because a lot of ico feels like a mergance of myst and JRPGs. at the time it was innovative. now people just go 'arg why can't i killz teh shadows 4evar and levels up.'

also the almost complete lack of a soundtrack for ico probably didn't help endear it to some people. i notice a lot of nostalgic-gamers really latch onto soundtracks. ico basicly had the save music, i think.

WOO TANGENT

This game was awesome. It really blew my mind when I played it. The sheer size of some of the colossi were amazing. And you've captured that, and the look of the game, very well in this piece :)

Welcome to the annoying world of fanart favouriting. I mean, it makes sense that more people will find art based on famousish stuff that they like, but it's still annoying every time that awful Princess Peach picture of mine gets a favourite... XD

Great image here though. I love how even the grass looks taller than Wander. Mountains in the backdrop look spectacular for some reason too XD

There's no sense crying over every mistake, you just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

The spirit of the game is captured in this picture.
