Shadow of the Colossus

Drawing on his memories of playing his “all-time favorite game,” artist Kilian Eng seamlessy blends his distinctive illustrative style and expressive, evocative imagery with the inspiring world created by Team Ico in Shadow of the Colossus. Eng reimagines the moment when Wander and his horse Agro arrive in the Forbidden Land and catch their first glimpse of the first colossus.

Through a careful balance of color and a strong use of atmospheric perspective, Eng reveals just enough of the colossus to inspire awe at its immense scale and commanding presence. The resulting piece stands as a powerful visual re-interpretation of a game that, in both style and substance, ranks among the most influential of its generation.
