AnElden Ringfan received a lovely gift from their wife in the form of a beautiful art piece painted on the cover of their PS5. Despite its melancholy tone,Elden Ringhas become a meaningful title for many players, be it for the narrative, the characters, or the brutal gameplay, and having others recognize that touchingly is heart-warming.

Fans of the action RPG have been making beautiful pieces of fan art since its release in March 2022, giving unique takes on the world and characters in different art styles, including one fan making a piece imagining whatElden Ringanimated by Studio Ghiblicould have looked like. Less common is when someone else makes a piece of artwork for a fan because the creator recognizes what the game means to them and decides to do something kind for that person.

A Reddit user who received a thoughtful gift goes by the name Abnormal_Toad and is a fan ofElden Ringwhose wife painted them a portrait on their PS5’s cover. The portrait in question is ofElden Ring’s infamous boss Maleniaas she winds up for her waterfowl dance attack. What stands out most is the painting’s art style, as it is an incredibly well-made piece that was made on a less-than-ideal canvas that retains a rather rustic style that would not be entirely out of place within the game world itself.

Reactions to the painting have been incredibly positive, with the top comment stating that Abnormal_Toad’s wife could make money off of her art, something that they agree with even if their spouse refused to take any. Others made allusions to tarot, with one commenter stating that it fits in as a card and another referring to it as the Queen of Swords which is found in most variations of tarot. Many will likely see an appropriate place for Malenia asElden Ringplayers figure out new ways to bullythe normally difficult fight.

GivenElden Ring’s popularity and how long it has endured, there will no doubt be many more works of art made to celebrate the game. Whether it is done in a style that would fit within the world itself, or takesElden Ringin an adorable direction, there is a lot to offer anyone that becomes inspired by The Lands Between as well as a lot to draw from when making a wonderful piece for a loved one.
