    This is the first map I've tried drawing using a dedicated tablet I got recently. It's not the most detailed map in the world, but hopefully you get the idea!

    DS1 was a great choice for this type of video. The map is mindboggling with how interconnected and vertical it is.

      yeah my first time, i thought the depths would be the lowest. then blighttown. then further down? then further down!?

    Thank you for this! Dark Souls has a now infamously twisted and complex world map that has been scrutinised for years. This was a lot simpler to understand than the full 3D reconstructions though, and I appreciate that you kept the focus entirely on the player path and navigation options.
    Echoing the requests for more Souls games, especially Bloodborne. Elden Ring certainly sounds like a challenge in terms of sheer scale!

    Maps like these are cool. While the maps I've seen of this franchise are good, they're not really detailed, so your maps help make more sense out of how all the areas are connected.
    I wouldn't mind seeing you do the rest of the Souls franchise, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring.

    My favorite part of these is getting to watch you art unfold as we go on! its such a joy to get to see someones interpretation of the world. although, in my head the world is turned 90 degrees to the right, if that makes any sense. Didn't think about that being something everyone probably had an interpretation of!
