Artyz Artifacts’ Elden Ring Playthrough Sketchbook: A Diabolical Amount of Effort

Artyz Artifacts, a dedicated Elden Ring player, has taken his love for the game to new heights by creating a 600-page sketchbook documenting his entire playthrough. This ambitious project, inspired by Arthur Morgan’s journal in Red Dead Redemption 2, is a testament to Artyz’s dedication and artistic skills.

In the first part of this series, which has been uploaded to his YouTube channel, Artyz flips through the pages and shares his experiences. He describes the characters he’s encountered, the challenges he’s faced, and the regions he’s explored. The sketchbook is a visual representation of his journey through Elden Ring, and it’s a sight to behold.

Each page is filled with intricate sketches and detailed illustrations. Artyz’s artistry is evident in his depictions of the game’s characters and creatures. His illustration of Boc The Seamster, for instance, is a stoic and imposing figure. The sketch of the fallen dragon is delightful, with its scales and wings rendered in beautiful detail.

Artyz’s dedication to this project is truly impressive. He mentions in the comments section that he does these sketchbooks because he sucks and wants to get better at art. But his work speaks for itself. He’s already committed to creating a sketchbook for each of the areas in Elden Ring, and if he follows through on this, the series will fill up an entire library.

Some pages in the sketchbook stand out more than others. At roughly the 21:54 mark, Artyz’s depiction of Leonine The Misbegotten is super clean and detailed. At 37:47, his illustration of the first optional mettle test is a masterclass in shading and perspective.

Comparatively, I struggle to draw a smiley face at the best of times. The thought of illustrating my entire playthrough of Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth is daunting. Trust me, Artyz, you’re very good!

Meanwhile, the Elden Ring community is abuzz with excitement over the game’s latest updates and challenges. The finals of the best multiplayer FPS of 2023 have been announced, with Counter-Strike 2, BattleBit Remastered, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023), and Payday 3 vying for the top spot.

As we wait for the results, let us take a moment to appreciate Artyz’s incredible sketchbook. It’s a labor of love, a testament to the power of creativity, and a reminder that no matter how big or complex a game may be, there’s always room for personal expression.

So, if you’re an Elden Ring player, or just someone who appreciates the art of sketching, be sure to check out Artyz’s YouTube channel and witness the diabolical amount of effort he’s put into this project. And if you’re feeling inspired, why not start your own sketchbook? Who knows, you might just discover a hidden talent.
