The God in the Mountain

It was once said that deep in the blackest reaches of Skyrim, beneath the frozen waists there lies a force so great it shakes the earth with just its breath...

I seriously need to find a new game to obsess over.

Looks a bit like the concept art for the shrine of Mehrunes Dagon. I remember I drew something similar to this once, but never finished it.
Lighting and overall aesthetic is pretty nice, but the perspective looks weird and it's hard to tell what and where everything is in relation to the rest. The knight characters anatomy and overall appearance could use some work.
That being said, the Souls series (Demons Souls, Dark Souls, etc.) is pretty obsess-able, and imo offers a way better game-play experience, take it from a guy who's put way more than 200 hours into both games.

MacOFlannigan responds:

Yeah, perspective and depth of field is something that I've always struggled with and is one of the things that I'm trying to improve on, but I can't afford to take classes so trial and error are my only teachers right now. As for the knight, I attribute overwhelming laziness to their funky design. In hindsight, if I had done better with subject focus it would have turned out easier on the eyes. And as for games, the Dark Souls series is one of my favorites. Miyazakis writing style is so detailed and surreal that his games remind me H.P. Lovecraft. However, I prefer a more organic approach to RPGs, something that Bethesda has down to a science. Either way, thank you for your honest critique and gamer insight!

idk of a story driven game, but games to obsess over are coming !!!!

kingdom come: deliverance is one I am excited for.

MacOFlannigan responds:

My hype for Kingdom Come is so strong that a let down at this point is inevitable, but I'm still having a hard time waiting. However, story driven games aren't a necessity for me, just stick me in a sand box, point me at some side quests, and I'll come up with the rest.
