Skyrim Fan Creates Incredible Oil Painting Based on the Game
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is well-known for its sense of scope, plunging players into massive environments against equally massive enemies. Despite the occasional wacky bug or strange moment, the game's ability to give this scope to players is part of what makes the game so special.
