Elden Ring Fan Makes Incredible Animated Maliketh Art

gamerant.com:

Elden Ring fan arts are becoming increasingly popular since the game was released two months ago. The popular FromSoftware title has a growing fanbase consisting of many talented artists who have regularly come up with spectacular artworks.

Most of these fan art pieces are centered around Elden Ring's various characters, including NPCs and the game's several exciting bosses. Many Elden Ring bosses have developed a dedicated fanbase over time, most famously Malenia. One viral Elden Ring fan art shows a mech version of Malenia in a futuristic setting instead of the game's fantasy world.

Following the example of such artists, another Elden Ring player took the initiative to display their creative skills. Reddit user Frostdice66 created a fan art depicting a relatively lesser-known Elden Ring boss, Maliketh. Interestingly, the user built upon the work of a fellow Elden Ring fan artist, Bossxie, by transforming their creation into a live wallpaper. Frostdice66's version of Maliketh is a digitally designed artwork that shows stunning animations. Oddly, the animation shows Maliketh's hair growing endlessly, which garnered mixed feelings from the Reddit community. Some Redditors suggested the user should've let the hair wave instead of growing eternally.

For those who don't know, Maliketh is one of the mandatory bosses in Elden Ring, meaning players need to defeat it to progress in the game. Maliketh is a Legend-type boss known as The Black Blade and is the guardian of the Rune of Death. Maliketh is the half-brother of Queen Marika and can be found in the Crumbling Farum Azula region, which can be accessed via Site of Grace at the Forge of the Giants in Mountaintops of the Giants.
