Summary
A talentedSkyrimplayer has shared their impressive painting of Winterhold, which imagines what the city might have looked like prior to its collapse.Skyrim’s Winterhold leaves a lot to be desired when compared to some of the game’s other cities, and this version would certainly make it one of the best areas in the game to explore.
Ever sinceSkyrimwas first released back in 2011, the game has inspired a ton of amazing fan creations. Some players create mods for others to use in-game, expanding theSkyrimexperience for the better. Others create items from the game in real life, bringingSkyriminto their own home in other ways. Just recently, oneSkyrimplayer shared their impressive cross-stitch of the game’s map, showing off the incredible level of talent among the community. It’s so impressive that gamers remain so enamored withSkyrimalmost 13 years after its original launch.
Redditor Dravidistan shared their amazing Winterhold painting, which massively expands the city with grand city walls, giving it a much larger appearance than what is seen in the game.Skyrim’s College of Winterholdstill towers above the city as before, but it’s no longer the only attraction. According to the user, the artwork is an amazing mix of pen and watercolor paints, taking around two and a half weeks to complete in total. While this might seem like a long time, the attention to detail shines through in the final piece, with each brick in the city painstakingly hand-drawn by Dravidistan.
Awesome Skyrim Winterhold Painting
The Winterhold that players see inSkyrimis clearly a shadow of its former self, with a ton of ruined buildings still littering the city. Wondering what it might look like is only natural, and there are even plenty ofamazingSkyrimmodsthat restore it to its former glory. As a matter of fact, Dravidistan mentions in the thread that the artwork “was inspired by all the restored Winterhold mods.” It’s awesome to see various fan creations inspiring one another to create something new, yet equally great in their own regard.
Although gamers remain captivated bySkyrim’s world, it will be interesting to see where Bethesda decides is the right location for the nextElder Scrollsgame. ConsideringThe Elder Scrolls 6is in a playable state, this decision has already been made, although the developer has yet to reveal it to players. Right now, gamers will have to be a little more patient with Bethesda regardingThe Elder Scrolls 6, which, admittedly, is a big ask after almost 13 years of waiting. Hopefully, the studio will be able to reveal more about what it has in the works for the nextElder Scrollstitle soon enough.
