Having reached over 10 million copies sold since its release and sporting amazing critic and fan reviews, it’s safe to say that Elden Ring is a massive success. With its challenging yet rewarding combat, lengthy and fulfilling exploration, and an open world filled to the brim with encounters, Elden Ring may go down as one of the most notable releases of 2022.
Not only did the game start strong, but it has been changed since its launch. Between hotifx updates that targeted performance issues and bugs and the latest Elden Ring patch that changed weapons, ashes of war, and quest lines, the game’s quality has only improved over time.
Much like the game’s improvement, one detail about FromSoftware games that has changed over time is the quality of FromSoftware’s animation and art style. One thing that FromSoftware games have always been known for is their unique style as well as containing breathtaking views at nearly every mountaintop, cliff side, or other elevated area.
However, one fan of the game was particularly captivated by art that was outside the game. More specifically, Reddit user MartinDK3485 loved the cover art of the game, and much like one player who pixelated Elden Ring’s box art, they decided to recreate the cover art inside of Dreams. The fruit of their labor was an animated, almost 3-dimensional-looking art piece that not only perfectly captured the cover art of Elden Ring, but went as far as to heavily improve upon it.
For those who have never heard of it, Dreams is a video game generator that can be purchased and played much like any other game. However, the game was created specifically to allow creators to design using a virtual reality setup. Thus, the point is for creators to make new virtual reality games as well as creations such as MartinDK3485’s. It is a highly rated game, having been praised for its massive amount of customization and assets available to creators as well as its intuitive design. Also, it is a tried and true system for Elden Ring fans, as shown by another incredible Elden Ring art piece made in Dreams.
Video game art pieces vary in quality, but MartinDK3485’s piece is an incredibly high quality recreation of the game’s cover art, capturing every element from the original image as well as adding some animation to further improve it. With one player reimagining Elden Ring’s Caelid using Doom’s cover, perhaps MartinDK3485 could turn to other parts of the game for their next amazing project.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
