Elden Ring fan shows off stunning painting of Malenia
Highlights An Elden Ring fan created a stunning painting of the tough boss, Malenia, showcasing their attention to detail and faithful recreation of the character’s model. The artwork focuses on the first phase of Malenia, with the artist admitting that he hasn’t reached the second phase of the boss fight yet. The fan art attracted attention from other players, with some praising it as a masterpiece and others joking about the time it took to create compared to defeating Malenia the first time.
An Elden Ring fan made an impressive painting of Malenia, one of the toughest bosses in the game. Elden Ring has been a huge critical and commercial success, as it has sold over 20 million copies since its release, as well as winning multiple 2022 Game of the Year awards.
Players will face many challenging bosses in Elden Ring, and for many, Malenia is the hardest fight in the game. Like some bosses in Elden Ring, Malenia is a two-stage fight, and players are required to deplete both health bars to gain victory. She also has a unique passive ability that heals her when she lands a hit, and this effect activates even if users are blocking the attack. Malenia’s difficulty likely contributed to her popularity, and one fan already made an impressive artwork of this boss.
A Reddit user named Atome_33 shared some stunning fan art of Malenia from Elden Ring. The livery showcases its iconic design with impressive attention to detail, faithfully recreating the game’s character model. Players should note that the artwork focuses on Malenia’s first phase, as she undergoes a drastic transformation during the second phase of the battle. Atome_33 states that it took him over 25 hours to create it, before stating that they still haven’t reached the second phase of the boss fight.
Many users in the comments section show their appreciation for Atome_33’s efforts, with one calling it a wonderful masterpiece. Another player wonders which boss Atome_33 will be working on next, prompting the Reddit poster to mention that they plan to take a break. Some players also joke about the number of hours it took to make the artwork, with one fan claiming that 25 hours is just a little less than the time needed to beat Malenia the first time.
Some players want Atome_33 to work on Malena’s second phase, while others want them to try to do Maliketh. Overall, Elden Ring players seem extremely impressed with the artwork, with some commenting on the exceptional lighting on display.
Elden Ring users have shared several pieces of fan art since the game’s launch, with Starscourge Radahn, Ranni, and Maliketh getting a lot of attention along with Malenia. An Elden Ring fan art arguably made its scariest boss a lot cuter, as it reimagined the fight against Mohg as an old-school game.
Elden Ring is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
