Skyrimhas been a phenomenon since its first of many releases back in 2011. It has inspired many people in various different ways, most recently by motivating a fan to create a painting of the landscape withinSkyrim.

Skyrimis host to a beautiful world, ready for players to discover. This leads to the amazing work of one dedicatedSkyrimfan, ArtbyAEB over on Reddit, whose acrylic painting depicts a beautiful landscape, a peaceful pond surrounded by trees and rocks, with mountains towering over all else in the background. However, it wouldn’t be aSkyrimpainting without some sort of mythical presence, and that is where the dragon comes in, front and center, gliding above the pond.
This is far from the first time that fan art has been created in honor ofThe Elder Scrolls5. An advantage of fan art is that it is not restricted to the same rules as the pieces of media that they draw from. For example, one piece offan art shows a crossover betweenSkyrimandLord of the Rings.
As much asSkyrimcontinues to captivate players over a decade after coming out, fans are looking to the nextElder Scrollsgame at this point. The recent news thatBethesda has delayedStarfieldmay cause concern that this will push back the release of the nextElder Scrolls. Although Bethesda Studios also make the modernFalloutgames,The Elder Scrollsseries is the IP that they have built up from scratch.
It has already been close to four years sinceThe Elder Scrolls 6was first announced at E32018. News on the title has been so light on the ground that all fans have at this point arerumors about the gameplay and potential setting forThe Elder Scrolls 6. As previously stated, the news ofStarfield’sdelay will likely have a negative knock on effect for the nextElder Scrollsgame. Despite such a long wait between the initial announcement and any solid news, it’s unlikely that anticipation and hype forThe Elder Scrolls 6will drop anytime soon. Especially when it has such big shoes to fill, fans will hope that it can live up to expectations and build upon the amazing world of its predecessor.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
