man, I swear, this one colossus took so much effort and came close to causing an ulcer within me. I've been meaning to make a SoC wall, but I didn't have the skills when I first beat the game, and lately I haven't had much time to just sit, listen to some clint mansell and vector away something epic looking. Im convinced I was some sort of canine in another life, I can't see color in anything I make; whenever I picture a piece in my head, its always in black and white..even my dreams have nothing more than small hints of color. Im gonna try and make a little series of black and white SoC walls, just cuz I can. B-|
those stupid clouds took forever too, until i figured out the reason they looked either too dark or too light was because I wasn't outlining them.

Well, I have you know just by looking at what you have done on this wall so far is awesome. Now paint this in your mind; what if you were to do it for an entire background?!! That would be the shit!!!! I would get on my knees and bow down to you, but it has to be the same amount of detail and precision as you have here right now.

Ahhh. Love the vector... very simple... nice colors.

As a big fan of SoTC this wallpaper is already an instant fav. The fact that its an awesome piece of work doesn't help either.

MK I'll have you know I always look forward to your walls. And you have yet to let me down. This wall is simple, yet elegant. Fantastic job with the detail, the only small thing I could "complain" about is that the clouds don't look as three-dimensional as the rest of the wall. Still, this is a wonderful wall and an instant favorite. You're definitely a master at the angle of simplicity.

Wow, what a wonderful wall! Love the black and white combo which makes it look very simple and unique. There's not a lot to say for this but you really did a nice job on it! :D

hey i agree with gat, it's been awhile since you've done a bg, most are just solid colors...with how much your technique has changed, i would be interested to see it full out and less simplistic.
but this is still nice, but a bg would make it more interesting(?) i guess.
Have a nice day!

Awesome! Since I'm a big Colossus fan myself, this wallpaper just has to be a favorite. I love how you kept so much detail in it; and the black and white tone really hits the uneasy and often depressing feelings you get when playing the game (and I'm not talking about the frustration when you just can't figure out how to beat a certain colossus...). Great job!
6 years, 3 months ago
That's sweet :3 I haven't played the game *gets shot* but I can still appreciate the pain-staking details in it. Monochromaticism = <33 always, so +fave for me. The only thing that's bothering me is the fact that there seems to be a bigger space between the L and the second O in Colossus :\ But otherwise, excellent.

Oh yeah another minimalistic wall by MinstrelKnight. And awesome job again. I love the details, I never thought I would say tis but: What a wonderful plain wall =) My only point is to the clouds, they don´t fit the rest very well, but it´s nothing serious. I´m looking forward to that black-and-white series.

Another great wallpaper from you. Nice, simple and clean vector work and colour scheme. There's not much I can say but the one thing I've noticed, and it's been mentioned before as well in previous comments, the clouds don't really blend in with the rest of the wall....like it's more 2D. It would have been nice if you included a bg as well. +fav

Love it. Sometimes I feel like simplicity is harder to pull off than complexity, and black and white is hard to do right as well. You've done both here! The touch of color is very nice, too. Fav!

i dunno how i feel about the red highlights but as per usual your vectoring is rockin' and the centering/perspective/general-ness of the wall looks good.
6 years, 3 months ago
way to go minimal, totally dig it.
6 years, 3 months ago
There really aren't enough Shadow of the Colossus walls out there for how gorgeous the game was. And this one definitely does the art of the game justice. I'm glad that instead of just mimicking the style, you went for something different. The minimalism works very, very nicely. The touch of red is nice, and not overdone. The only thing I would have liked to have seen would be a more defined horizon line. Otherwise, *favorites*
6 years, 3 months ago
ROFL! The douchbag colossus...
Great wall, but I personally liked that colossus. The one that pissed me off was the one in the lake you had to steer to the platforms (I beat him twice before I figured out you could steer his big, stupid head :( )
Anyway, I love the simple design and the angle you have on the rider +Fave!

Well, it must have been quite annoying to vector something from this game since it's not comic-ish style at all. I think the black and white works pretty well here BUT there's a lack of details imho. The composition is a tad bit too simple and lacks more "epicness" to it. For example, I would have seen a larger horizon, why not birds in the sky and a longer dust trail at the back of Agro.

Haha! Yes, that colossi wasquite the douche-bag. But was also one of my favorites in the game. You get several cool points. And you make a great SotC wall. Fav.
5 years, 5 months ago
Holy crap. Stunning. Does a good job of capturing and suggesting the starkness and sparseness of the landscape in SotC.
The only thing I'd change about this one is a personal preference: I might invert the colors for my own use, as I find black to be easier on the eyes. That's a personal choice though. Anyways, really nice works, and authoritative vectoring.
5 years, 5 months ago
Perfect! Clean, simple, but lots of fine details...this is delightful! Lots of room for icons & whatnot...
But of course, my favourite part is the title. We feel your pain. :D

I agree with those who said that the clouds could be a bit more 3 dimensional, but overall, I love this wall.Brought me back to the first time through the game when I got to that colossus and was in awe of the sheer size of it.

This is really simple and stylish. Simple wallpapers are the best, imo. Usually people use too much textures and manage to make the wallpapers look really cramped.
Oh and I just love the game. <3

I think its enough be just seeing a good colossus being chased the Unknown warrior. (i presume that is his name after all it was in the credits in the game) The wall. looks very deep in its effects and that makes it look "huge" for this title. Really like it. Its already a fav. for me

Ha! I liked your idea on having been a dog in a previous life. The whole 'visualizing in black and white' is something that happens for me quite a bit as well. In a lot of ways, working with only two colors can be infinitely more challenging than using a full color palette. Kudos on the design; elegance, simplicity and an ethereal sense of 'calm before the storm' make this a very pleasing wall. Keep up the good vectoring.

I can't say that I agree that this is the douche bag of all of them. I loved this one the most.
But other than the title, I think this is a great picture for the entire game. It just shows the epic scale of the whole thing.

~(@_@)~ Though I am not a fan of the black / white, I believe the concept " simple is better" . SotC is one of my fav games. So glad to see a wallpaper on it. (n_n)-b

Dood, I totally agree with you with the whole "douche bag colossus" fricken takes like 10YEARS to get on his wing and then you have to multiply that by 3! cuz for some reason he wants 3! weakspots...frudge. Anyway NICE PICTURE! even though it has no BG and is in B&W its still pretty awesome. I mean just having the two subjects colored in just gives it its own taste, so to speak. Shld rly think about putting a BG in it though, B&W of course
2 years, 3 months ago
I love the simplicity of it along with the intense detail where you want it. i just kinda wish you had drawn in the ground/horizon a little more. the clouds help fill the top, but the bottom seems like an endless expanse of white. still, this is a total fave. I would love to see a series of these if you could for, if not all 16, then at least the most epic ones.

Whoa whoa whoa. You made this? Jaw drops to the floor and breaks floorThis is so good I thought it was official! I could never thought that this was actually made by someone from scratch! Talk about amazing. You really should try making more of these and perhaps sending them to the company. I'm sure they would be amazed at the pictures since they look nothing if not professional. ^.^
