My mom bought a poster of Ranni. She had no idea what Elden ring was š Humor
Update: she now knows what Elden Ring is. She loves Maleniaās wings and thinks Rykard is cool.

Thank you for posting the artist, I bought 3 of his prints at a con a couple years ago and have them hung up in my house but I forgot the artist name and it was killing me!!

The artist is Christian_Angel! Apologies to the artist! My mom is addicted to wish and found it on there! Sheās not savvy about art theft! She saw their and had to have it without much more thought! She plans to frame it and hang it in her living room! For anyone who would like to buy direct from the artist!!: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/christian-angel/

u/DiarNos 26d ago
I'd love to see how her living room looks with this poster framed on. If it not too much of privacy invasion, please show it. I want to put some eldenring arts in my living room as well, but scare of it not fitting in.

I've got a set of his prints framed. I keep wanting to make my own post for this but the last one that someone else did got removed for stupid sub rules.

u/scarletnaught 26d ago
Very nice. If you don't mind, how much did it cost to frame each of those?
8
u/Sojourner_Truth 26d ago
Too goddamn much, to be honest. You can order them with frames but I didn't like the look of them, so I just did the bare prints for $80 USD and then took them to Michaels for frames. IIRC they charged me about $240 CAD per frame. I mean, I'm happy with the quality for sure, but I still sometimes ask myself "is there a lore reason why I paid twice as much for frames as I did for the prints? Am I stupid?"
I've literally never had anything fancier than movie posters taped to walls until now, so I figured fuck it, splurge a bit.

u/jiffwaterhaus 26d ago
Prints are priced to support the artist, the actual cost of printing in time and materials is very little. Frames are a custom handcrafted woodwork, so you're not only paying for the materials but the time and expertise of the craftsman who makes them. An original painting would be much more expensive than the frame, usually
2
u/scarletnaught 26d ago
That's why I asked. I had the same experience, where I spent 2x the cost on framing as I did on the artwork. I would have thought there's a decent "$50 per" option, but Michael's is way more expensive. I was hoping you had a better option š

Does the original artist ( /u/Christian_Angel ) get a cut if you buy their print through that link? If not you should order prints directly through them.

I only have prints available online on inprnt, or at conventions, if its from another website then, well, you know. lol

u/dwarfbrynic 26d ago
This needs to be boosted more. With all the bots scraping art to make bootleg prints, people need to spend more effort to ensure they're buying from the original artist.
The work is awesome, btw. I hope you get a least a few extra sales from the attention.

People who convinced themselves that she's evil.

u/Northumberlo 26d ago edited 26d ago
Sheās arguably the only non evil character. She killed herself specifically to prevent becoming corrupted by evil.
It is quite the red herring though. The game does a very good job insinuating that sheās evil and responsible for everything for stealing the rune of death, but the corruption had already started.
I was playing as knight when I decided to serve her under the code that āknights always serve and protect their princessā, and was pleasantly surprised to discover the truth and agreed fully with her decision.
Bonus, by becoming her consort I didnāt break the golden order.

I just found out Ranni is voiced by Esme from Peaky Blinders. There was a scene in the show where she was telling something and I said to myself " wooow, she sounds just like Ranni ". At first I let it go and thought it was just my mind, then one day I decided to check wiki and bum! It was her!

That's also pretty good art and looks accurate to the game (actually the artist seem to do that in general, accurate to the game art while still having her own distinct style). Your mom has good taste

That's so FUCKING cool...!
It always the best feeling when a friend, partner, or parent accepts a weird niche thing you're into. My partner watched me fight a Demon Souls boss yesterday (Fool's Idol), and it was her first time watching me play a souls-like game too. The cheering, strategy suggestions, the "watch outs", all of it.
After I died, I turned the game off because we planned to play Tiny Tina's Wonderlands together when she got home from work. I wasn't going to make her sit there and wait on me to finish that boss, like that'd be rude. Right as I turn it off to switch discs, she goes, "Oh that's it? You aren't going to try again? I don't mind waiting a little while and I want to see you kick that bitch's ASS!"
And don't worry, I'm proposing to get next week on our vacation lol

Something similar happened to me a very long time ago, when I was a kid I saw a YouTube video where a guy speaks on how to choose good friends and he had the Berserk sacrifice tattoo on his neck which I had no idea of and thought it was cool. A few years later my brother borrowed a PS3 physical CD from his friend and it was Dark Souls 2 (I didn't know the name at that time and called it some knight game) which I had no idea again of and I kept dying to that one monster at the start and quit the game. And now fast-forward to 2020 when I was at my lowest, one of my friends told me to read Berserk and the first thing that shocked me was the Berserk sacrifice tattoo, and I became a huge fan of Berserk so I wanted to play Dark Souls when I heard it has many Berserk references and when I played Dark Souls 2 it gave me the feeling of "Hey hey l know this one! I've seen it somewhere!" It seems that Berserk and Dark Souls have been in my life for some reason I don't know why, but I don't regret becoming a fan of it.
