An interesting detail: out of all the demigods, only Miquella, Godwyn, Ranni, Morgott and Mohg don’t have paintings. Which is quite weird, at least for the first three. However, if your intention is to make everyone forget about someone, you usually remove every trace of that guy’s existence, starting from the imagery
For Godrick, I think maybe he made that giant painting of Godfrey to also represent him, as part of the golden lineage. For the others, there’s literally nothing
Might make sense for Miquella and Ranni. Miquey did most of his fame-inducing stuff early on as St. Trina and it wasn't until he started his Haligtree did he gather a following, and they seemed to prefer making statues to pictures. Ranni was the youngest of Rennala's children and mostly hung around with her reclusive teacher. Not saying it wouldn't have been nice for Rykard to have a picture of his younger sister but she likely wasn't considered a major figure in the world at the time.
The last painting of Rykard always seemed ominous to me, especially when I found it in this dark room in the Volcano Manor. He seems lifeless, hiding horrifying secrets.
The snake coiled around his arm and the reaching hands at the bottom of the frame in the first Rykard painting really add to that ominous feeling, but with more direct imagery. That last one is less direct, but a lot more haunting.
I've searched high and low for at least one portrait of Godwyn. His face all over the map is of him in his corrupted state due to the nature of his death. It would be nice to see his portrait back when he was alive, somewhere in an old forgotten dark room with sunlight beaming towards his portrait. What a lonely and beautiful thing to stumble upon.
Not only that, but also the location of the abductor virgins. I think Rykard used them to give some support to Radahn and to protect his mother in the Academy.
@@ender8166 Rykard was ambitious and really strong leader. He was also the one to conspire against Golden Order with Rani (because they knew something wrong was going on with it) and have Radaan portrait in his home. He was a really good guy before he was eaten by Sneak. Even soldiers were pretty happy to be on his side with one thing. There is a spirit in Vulcano Manor that want to someone finally kill Rykard. Not because they hate him, but to free him from the Great Sneak. This is Rykard tragedy as for all the characters in Elden Ring. Before all of this he was what we could call "Good Guy" in the Lands Between. Wish we could actually see him before his fall...
Man I love radagons little baby hands. It all makes sense now. His stupid little t-pose is an attempt at making himself look bigger and more threatening.
One of the things that I like about the portaits of the mages is that you can recognise who they were in the lore and not some random scholar. We have in order from right to left: Karolos Olivinus Lazuli Twinsage (their names are not specified) Sellen Rennala We only miss Haima and Hierodas because i think thy were minor conspectus.
I must say i dont think its sellen. You can see that all the old mages masks resembles their own faces. So i think that woman is another and not Sellen, Sellen is just wearing her stone mask with her face.
@@javiermescuaguerrero It's Sellen. The mask matches the portrait. Same curls. Same center part. Sellen as we encounter her has straight hair. Implying that the body we encounter her in is not her original one. There's no telling how many times she has swapped bodies.
@@javiermescuaguerrero One portrait for every glintstone crown and one for Rennala. This is Sellens face and her attire confirms it. The unique green gem on her robe is the same color of the glintstone on her head that nobody else has.
Somebody once described Elden Ring as being like a painting that you can walk inside of and explore. I can't think of a better way to describe the beauty of this game.
Rykard even though he is mad, seems to hold dear his family. What is weird it's how he doesn't have a painting for ranni, if you were willing to fight maliketh if necessary for your sister, you probably have a good relationship.
Considering the description for the Blasphemous Claw, they did seem to have a good relationship since ranni gave him a way to deflect the black blade. Possibly as some sort of contingency plan in case ranni failed at stealing destined death from maliketh. Since they both opposed the greater will and Ranni was the only one among the family to be an emyprean, he maybe got rid of all the portraits of ranni's previous body after she managed to kill it, probably as a sign of respect or at ranni's wishes
2:51 WOW it's a shame that the Tanith's painting was cut, but more than ever I'm 1.000% sure that the masked guy painting is supposed to represent Rykard. They are the Lord and Lady of Volcano Manor and in the lands between nobles often wear a metallic mask as part of their official suite (Marais mask, ruler mask, consort mask) so I think that the two portraits of Rykard and Tanith were originally supposed to be an official couple portrait of the two masters of Volcano Manor
Actually Marika wears the exact same outfit as always. The cloth piece hanging from her waste in the cutscene is probably the same she wears as a dress in the picture or in the statues of her. As a bit of foreshadowing, Radagon wears the exact same outfit aswell...
@@hinkelstein1494 She doesn’t. The outfit in the portrait is different from the one as depicted in statues as well as the opening scene. One is more revealing than the other. And for whatever reason my comment keeps getting taken down? Lol.
I don't think that Rykard was blonde, to me he's either aging or he lost his red hair due to stress for the whole blasphemy thing, the Gelmir knight helmet descipton seems to imply that he inherited his father's red hair "Helm worn by knights once loyal to Praetor Rykard. Its crest of red feathers symbolizes Rykard's pedigree as Lord Radagon's son."
I still think it's such a missed opportunity that Elden Ring doesn't have any official concept art of Marika's whole family. It would be such a cool thing to see a visual illustration of Godfrey with Serosh, Godwyn, Godrick, Morgott, Mohg, Marika, Miquella, Malenia (before her rot got bad), Radagon, Ranni (in her real body) with Blaidd, Radahn, Rykard, and Rennala all together even if they weren't all present together to represent all the main characters in the game.
Godrick probably wouldn't be there. He's a "distant relation", not a direct relative. Also, Godfrey wouldn't be there since he was banished, and Rennala probably wouldn't be considered part of the royal family.
@@watchfulwanderer6443 he's not a distant relation like a cousin, but distant as in he's the great great great great great and so on grandson of the Golden Order.
thing is, i feel like marika's lineage is way more extensive than the game tells us. at least that's why i understand when the game mentions "soulless demigods" and "unwanted children". so a picture with just these characters might be contradictory
@@ColonelKebabShop The Marais Mask lacks the sculpted facial hair shown on the mask depicted, and as previously mentioned instead depicts a woman. As such, its relevance to the Volcano Manor has one of two possible connotations. Either this is Rykard in ceremonial attire, or Inquisitor Ghiza prior to his disfigurement.
Interesting that one of the paintings has a person wearing the house marais ceremonial robe. Notice the mask doesn't look like the marais mask we get in game, the one in the painting possessing a beard. The only member we meet in game is a seemingly the last member and the head of the house, befitting the mask, and judging by the painting of melania, the prosthesis laying everywhere, and his rapier, he had a massive infatuation with our dear blade of Miquella. I like to believe that it was this infatuation that brought them ruin, as poison has infested their lands with only perfumers seeing any benefit, evil spirits and those who beckon them roaming amok, and they lost their prized executioners blade to a major criminal and deadly warrior, who enchanted it with an arcane rite unlike that usually found in the lands between. And where can we find this last noble of the Shaded Castle? Hiding out in the graveyard out back, probably driven out by the same prisoner who stole their sword and now inhabits it as their base, while the castle falls more into depravity.
2:38 is still the portrait that perplexes me the most, because there's not any clear indication of who it is. The mask having a moustache and beard as well as half of the face being covered makes it seem unlike Tanith. Also, 2:44 has a Tanith portrait that I've never seen before. Is that actually in the game or just in the game files (and are any of the portraits labeled for who they are?)
I think this person is Rykard in traditional noble outifit. If Tanith wear this kind of outfit, Rykard also doing this thing. Beard fit to his picture without mask.
The clothing in the portrait is closest to the Official's Attire, which is a part of the Bloodsoaked Set. The Bloodsoaked Mask is just a set of wrapped bandages and the description states, _"Even the most ghastly cover is more inviting than the festering face beneath."_ which seems very similar to what we learn about Rya / Zorayas' biological mother, Daedicar. The Marias Robe uses that same garment, but is also has an additional shawl that is worn over it not present in this portrait. The Marias Mask also has no facial hair and has long braided white hair, which is totally different from the portrait. What's pictured is not a mask we ever get as a piece of equipment in game. It is noteworthy that Patches goes to House Marias' Shaded Castle afterwards and gives you the Castanets for Lady Tanith who became Rya's adopted mother. It seems to imply some connection there that may not have been fully developed, which is why this prominent portrait is so mysterious.
@@maxmazza2987 Similar but the Marais robes have an additional cape piece that goes on top and the mask while similar is still distinct from the other design, the noble robe and mask design are reused in different colors and accessories for different NPCs from Tanith to Marais to Kenneth Haight and more so it's probably just the standard garbs nobles wear in the Lands Between.
I wonder why there is no potrait of Ranni before her death to be found. Would love to see what she looked like and since it is Rennala's beloved daughter I expected to find one in the Carian Manor at least
There is an intresting painting in stormveil, depicting limgrave's divine tower, but stomveil castle is not present, just an empty hill, probably implying that the towers are even older than the civilisations that preceded the golden order.
You know, I've been suspicious that Rykard was actually a blond for a while now, but the lighting in Volcano Manor made it so hard to tell, so thank you for sharing the paintings of him! (Wonder how Radagon explained that to Rennala lmao) Also, is that painting of Tanith cut content? I don't remember ever seeing it anywhere in the game.
Well technically Renalla would be more sus than Radagon. Since Renalla would've birthed Rykard herself, so it would seem like she cheated on Radagon with a blonde guy. But ofcourse, Radagon wouldn't take mind of this since he/she knows exactly where the blonde hair comes from.
I don't think that Rykard was blonde, to me he's either aging or he lost his red hair due to stress for the whole blasphemy thing, the Gelmir knight helmet descipton seems to imply that he inherited his father's red hair "Helm worn by knights once loyal to Praetor Rykard. Its crest of red feathers symbolizes Rykard's pedigree as Lord Radagon's son."
I wonder why Godfrey's axe is broken in that painting. It got damaged outside of the Lands Between after he was exiled. I mean, the meta explanation is that they just used concept art for that painting but what about in-universe explanation. Maybe Godrick captured an a Tarnished painter and forced them to paint Godfrey in the way he's known among the Tarnished? The painting is accurate, so said painter must have seen Godfrey personally. Damn, having thought about it, how lucky Godrick must have been to get his many hands on that painting. Not only did he have to capture a Tarnished painter, but also a painter who was among the original Godfrey's Tarnished, not some of their descendants. Or maybe some Tarnished brought that painting to the Lands Between for some reason?
I think he'd had his axe broken vs Placidusax (or a similar great battle) and the projection we see is exclusively drawn from a 'perfect' version of him. He was named Godfrey to hide away his Hoarah Loux ancestry, so it makes sense that the holy simulacrum of him would be similarily 'smoothed over' and made perfect looking. The projection doesn't have Serosh either. Elden Ring is a game about how the colonizers of a land destroyed it from the roots up, so it tracks the colonizing force (the Golden Order family) would even airbrush away flaws in a glorified sentry drone that carries the face of their queen's ex husband.
I think the safest explanation is that someone probably made the painting a long time ago and Godrick somehow managed to get his hands on it after no one else wanted it/had a need for it anymore. OR whoever inhabited the castle in the past had that painting. But basically Godrick didn't need to force anyone to make the painting I think.
2:27 the look of Rykards portrait and the hands that we also see on him and his sword makes me wonder just how close him and the god devouring serpent really were. Side note so far we have had a lot of endings but a new ending with us properly joining forces with rykard or usurping him and maintaining hold of the manor would be a fun one that would play well with patches giving us a gift for Rykards old consort with a new outcome perhaps making this item cause her to actually come a bit to her senses and join you instead of being a sniveling mess eating her partners head. Would also give an ending that puts the lands into a new environment or "harder" / blasphemous state
As much as I love Godfrey I really hate how his armor looks when it’s on the player character. It looks like something a schoolboy would wear. With the short shorts and short sleeves that no gauntlets can cover.
There is a landscape painting in a tower in stormville Castle, it's across the gap that leads down to Godwin's (other) corpse, through the shortcut door from the site of grace near a lift. It is as far as I can tell, a painting of limgrave and stormville Castle before the castle was built. And I have not seen any other piainting of it like that in the game.
The portrait of Marika at 1:11 has always been interesting to me. It's probably the only insight we get into her actual personality, as it looks like a "sitting portrait." Her statutes seem more of a religious interpretation. It's a Mona Lisa type portrait where there feels to be a mystery to the character.
I do find it interesting that Ranni and Godwyn do not have any painting from before the shattering It’s especially interesting considering those 2 are very obviously connected by the sheer fact that both were the catalysts of the shattering. The closest for Godwyn we got is literally, the painting from the opening cinematic of the night of the black knives. It’s also interesting that pre dlc miquella also had no painting besides, the one of mohg holding him which was also only in the opening cinematic.
These are incredible! Such good reference for fanart. Would it perhaps be possible to post these textures as jpgs or something so we can see them in as high quality as possible? Even watching the vid at the highest resolution is probably cutting some of the quality of these awesome portraits
In the portrait of the two scholars, the one on the left has a tabard, or hanging piece similar to the one worn on Lusat’s robe. An interesting detail as it isn’t included in any other robe
Well, Lusat is actually Olivinus, or at least made that conspectus. "The lineage of the Olivinus Conspectus began with the sorcerer Lusat, and its adherents continue his study of meteors." - Olivinus crown. "The Karolos Conspectus is the oldest of the academy's lineages of study, begat by the sorcerer Azur. Scholars who follow in his footsteps pursue the mysteries of comets." - Karolos crown.
@BonfireVN you missed a painting within stormveil. it´s in the dark room where gostoc, tries to have you killed by a banished knight. it seems to be a front view of godfrey and serosh
OH HELL YES!!! I have really wanted to see all these in more detail! Thank u so much The Radagon one and the Rykard one in the room with the Royal Knight's Resolve are my favourite in the game, just getting to see those two characters more clearly in their prime is such a treat, ESPECIALLY rykard.
Radahn no longer looks anything like his portrait and we don't even know what Ranni would look like as she's a doll and her body may have been cast away hundreds to thousands of years before, as far as we know.
He looks like Rennala's father, and not the other way around. Rennala looks 30-ish meanwhile Rykard seems to be in his 50s lmao. Maybe there's something to do with Rennala's rebirth ability?
He's Rykard. He's wearing a robe very simiar to the official attire worn by Inquistor Ghiza and the Marais executioner family and Rykard was an inquistor and executioner himself. In the lands between nobles often wear a metallic mask as part of their official suite (Marais mask, noble mask, consort mask), this mask is bearded like Rykard and also the red cloth on the mask could be a reference to his once red hair, the Gelmir knight helmet description seems to imply that he inherited his father's red hair like his siblings Radahn and Ranni: "Helm worn by knights once loyal to Praetor Rykard. Its crest of red feathers symbolizes Rykard's pedigree as Lord Radagon's son." In the paintings he seems to have reddish/whitish hair, maybe due to old age or stress for the whole blasphemy thing? Also the painting is similar to the one figuring Tanith, and since they are the Lord and Lady of Volcano Manor it makes sense that the two portraits were originally supposed to be an official couple portrait of the two masters of Volcano Manor
@@aifos5171 then why have two separate portraits of Rykard in a different outfit and without a mask? Also the metal masks that are worn in the lands between by nobles are not to their own face, as shown by the Marais mask being of the founder of the house and Tanith’s mask being of a foreign queen
The Burger King Crowns are supposed to represent the likeness of the conceptus founder Wearing a mask that's exactly the same as her own face would be a little weird
To bad there isn't any drawing of human Ranni or Godwyn, he must have looked quite handsome with his golden hair before turning into a comatose ugly mermaid
Interesting about pretor riekhards portrait is that at the bottom of it there are hands that are very similar to the hands on his sword and theres a small snake wrapped around his arm

There is another carian regal staff on the second stairwell before the wolf fight. I think has a red Flintstone. Would be awesome to know who it belong too.
Who's the guy on the left in the last set of portraits? Right seems to be Tanith, center seems to be another portrait of Rykard based on the hair and crown, but the left has me stumped. Thanks for this video!
Probably Daedicar, who was once Rykard's male lover. It seems the concept they were going for was Daedicar as the left hand and Tanith as the right hand. But they changed Daedicar's role in the game so that he became a woman and also the birth mother of the Serpent Monsters/Rya. I don't know why they changed it, but the portrait is probably a holdover from when Daedicar was a man. The guy's outfit is clearly a mirror version from Tanith's outfit and was brought into the game without a mask. I'm pretty sure that's the idea of it all...

@@aifos5171 The demigods aren't plain nobility though. Isn't it odd that a demigod would deign to dress in the manner of a regular human, of a servant? And the point of the masks is to let the wearer assume the role and esteem of something far greater and older than them. Whereby an unremarkable person legitimates their power as an inheritor or executor of some grand idea. The Marais mask represents all the history and prestige of that house. The ruler's mask embodies the model of an ideal lord. The consort's mask that of a queen where Tanith is merely consort and proprietress - which I think also precludes any depiction of her implying partnership instead of servitude to the Praetor and son of Radagon. If the demigods wore masks they should be of Marika, Godfrey or Radagon but they're distinct and powerful enough as direct offspring there is no need. Besides for references to their lineage like the use of red each are unto themselves a model to be imitated. In brief, regular people wear the masks of gods and heroes. Gods and heroes need only their own image.
Yeah, it is the Golden order totality pose, so I'm pr sure it's like a "Holy thing" since he was a golden order fundamentalist. Doesn't stop it form being hilarious tho xD
@@davidhong1934 there are some statues of Miquella being hugged by Malenia that can be found around the Haligtree. Also you can find his statues in Ordina, the ones that hold candles you need to lit to solve the puzzle. Basically, Miquella looks like a child with pale skin and long blond hair if judge from the intro painting
For those Who said Rykard is blonde, youre wrong...Ranni, Radahn and Rykard were redheads, proof of the lineage of Radagon...Rykard hair is strange in the paintings due to the colours the artist choose, but, even the items of the Game implies that the were redheads, and, even if you ask me, they all were affected by gigantism, but Ranni killer herself before the first signs appeared
Hey Bonfire, maybe you could do something like Irithyll vs Profaned Capital for Elden Ring? Like Morgott and Leyndell forces vs Radahn and Redmane forces
I wonder who that woman on the Raya Lucarian paintings and Sellen's mask is. We know for a fact it's not Sellen herself because she looks nothing like the painting or the mask, so who could it have been? Her mother perhaps?
So this confirms that Rykard is a actually a blonde. Honestly, this makes the whole thing with Radagon and Marika even more confusing since there's evidence that suggests they were different people before they merged into one being, but then you have small stuff like this that suggests they were always the same.
Yeah :/ and things like Radagon having a great rune somehow (To give to rennala) even tho he was just a champion. I really like to believe that radagon isn't just a different persona of Marika, idk I kinda like him (Even tho hes a piece of shit xD ) so the thought of him kinda not actually existing kinda sucks to me :p but I'm biased ig.
@@sierraandrews9921 I mean, Radagon seemed to be his own person even if he was apart of Marika in some way. Like, even when Marika began to resent the Golden Order, Radagon was still incredibly loyal. Or when Marika shattered the Elden Ring, he tried to repair it.
Although it seems that Radagon had different personality, I believe that he was always part of Marika, useful for her to be in many places at once. There is a theory I've read on Reddit (or somewhere) that Radagon represents the Regression part of the Golden Order, so he would want to keep things as they originally were, and Marika represents Causality, so she would be more inclined for progress. There isn't much known about Radagon, he's called a champion but we are never told where he came from, characters we meet don't seem to know either (Corhyn states that he has no idea, the Turtle Pope doesn't say anything specific either). So maybe he's some lesser part of Marika that she wanted to be her champion in places she couldn't go to? Maybe she created him from the basic, unchanging part of order so he stays loyal and it backfired?

The last painting of Rykard always seemed ominous to me, especially when I found it in this dark room in the Volcano Manor. He seems lifeless, hiding horrifying secrets.
He was kind hot before becoming a snake
The snake coiled around his arm and the reaching hands at the bottom of the frame in the first Rykard painting really add to that ominous feeling, but with more direct imagery. That last one is less direct, but a lot more haunting.

Somebody once described Elden Ring as being like a painting that you can walk inside of and explore. I can't think of a better way to describe the beauty of this game.
Like the Painting of Ariamis?
Dunkey
Rykard even though he is mad, seems to hold dear his family.
What is weird it's how he doesn't have a painting for ranni, if you were willing to fight maliketh if necessary for your sister, you probably have a good relationship.
Considering the description for the Blasphemous Claw, they did seem to have a good relationship since ranni gave him a way to deflect the black blade. Possibly as some sort of contingency plan in case ranni failed at stealing destined death from maliketh. Since they both opposed the greater will and Ranni was the only one among the family to be an emyprean, he maybe got rid of all the portraits of ranni's previous body after she managed to kill it, probably as a sign of respect or at ranni's wishes
2:51 WOW it's a shame that the Tanith's painting was cut, but more than ever I'm 1.000% sure that the masked guy painting is supposed to represent Rykard. They are the Lord and Lady of Volcano Manor and in the lands between nobles often wear a metallic mask as part of their official suite (Marais mask, ruler mask, consort mask) so I think that the two portraits of Rykard and Tanith were originally supposed to be an official couple portrait of the two masters of Volcano Manor
Pretty neat. It’s weird seeing Marika and Radagon clothed lol.
Actually Marika wears the exact same outfit as always. The cloth piece hanging from her waste in the cutscene is probably the same she wears as a dress in the picture or in the statues of her. As a bit of foreshadowing, Radagon wears the exact same outfit aswell...
@@hinkelstein1494 She doesn’t. The outfit in the portrait is different from the one as depicted in statues as well as the opening scene. One is more revealing than the other. And for whatever reason my comment keeps getting taken down? Lol.
I don't think that Rykard was blonde, to me he's either aging or he lost his red hair due to stress for the whole blasphemy thing, the Gelmir knight helmet descipton seems to imply that he inherited his father's red hair "Helm worn by knights once loyal to Praetor Rykard. Its crest of red feathers symbolizes Rykard's pedigree as Lord Radagon's son."
I still think it's such a missed opportunity that Elden Ring doesn't have any official concept art of Marika's whole family. It would be such a cool thing to see a visual illustration of Godfrey with Serosh, Godwyn, Godrick, Morgott, Mohg, Marika, Miquella, Malenia (before her rot got bad), Radagon, Ranni (in her real body) with Blaidd, Radahn, Rykard, and Rennala all together even if they weren't all present together to represent all the main characters in the game.
With Malliketh and baby Blaiid sitting on the side.
Also I presume this would be before Godrick started grafting and Rykard got devoured?
Godrick probably wouldn't be there. He's a "distant relation", not a direct relative. Also, Godfrey wouldn't be there since he was banished, and Rennala probably wouldn't be considered part of the royal family.
@@watchfulwanderer6443 he's not a distant relation like a cousin, but distant as in he's the great great great great great and so on grandson of the Golden Order.
thing is, i feel like marika's lineage is way more extensive than the game tells us. at least that's why i understand when the game mentions "soulless demigods" and "unwanted children". so a picture with just these characters might be contradictory
@@KingoftheApes I know. That's why I said he shouldn't be part of it.

@@ColonelKebabShop thats a lady, the helmet implies it.
@@ColdNorth0628 The Marais mask is a heirloom of that house made at the likeness of the founder of their bloodline wich it was a noblewoman.
@@ColonelKebabShop The Marais Mask lacks the sculpted facial hair shown on the mask depicted, and as previously mentioned instead depicts a woman. As such, its relevance to the Volcano Manor has one of two possible connotations. Either this is Rykard in ceremonial attire, or Inquisitor Ghiza prior to his disfigurement.
Sellen is such a chad, wearing the mask depicting her own face
I was very disappointed when I couldn't find a portrait of Gwynevere. No chest ahead
Pontiff Sulyvahn stole it to fulfill a union agreement with the Silver Knights of Anor Londo
Interesting that one of the paintings has a person wearing the house marais ceremonial robe. Notice the mask doesn't look like the marais mask we get in game, the one in the painting possessing a beard. The only member we meet in game is a seemingly the last member and the head of the house, befitting the mask, and judging by the painting of melania, the prosthesis laying everywhere, and his rapier, he had a massive infatuation with our dear blade of Miquella. I like to believe that it was this infatuation that brought them ruin, as poison has infested their lands with only perfumers seeing any benefit, evil spirits and those who beckon them roaming amok, and they lost their prized executioners blade to a major criminal and deadly warrior, who enchanted it with an arcane rite unlike that usually found in the lands between.
And where can we find this last noble of the Shaded Castle? Hiding out in the graveyard out back, probably driven out by the same prisoner who stole their sword and now inhabits it as their base, while the castle falls more into depravity.
I could be wrong, but i believe that the two round table holds have different portraits. So there are even more than you have here
2:38 is still the portrait that perplexes me the most, because there's not any clear indication of who it is. The mask having a moustache and beard as well as half of the face being covered makes it seem unlike Tanith.
Also, 2:44 has a Tanith portrait that I've never seen before. Is that actually in the game or just in the game files (and are any of the portraits labeled for who they are?)
It's probably an Inquisitor like Ghiza, the outfit is identical to theirs but with a proper mask instead of the bloodsoaked wrap/mask.
I think this person is Rykard in traditional noble outifit. If Tanith wear this kind of outfit, Rykard also doing this thing. Beard fit to his picture without mask.
Looks like the Marais invader npc to me, down to the robe and mask
The clothing in the portrait is closest to the Official's Attire, which is a part of the Bloodsoaked Set. The Bloodsoaked Mask is just a set of wrapped bandages and the description states, _"Even the most ghastly cover is more inviting than the festering face beneath."_ which seems very similar to what we learn about Rya / Zorayas' biological mother, Daedicar.
The Marias Robe uses that same garment, but is also has an additional shawl that is worn over it not present in this portrait. The Marias Mask also has no facial hair and has long braided white hair, which is totally different from the portrait. What's pictured is not a mask we ever get as a piece of equipment in game.
It is noteworthy that Patches goes to House Marias' Shaded Castle afterwards and gives you the Castanets for Lady Tanith who became Rya's adopted mother. It seems to imply some connection there that may not have been fully developed, which is why this prominent portrait is so mysterious.
@@maxmazza2987 Similar but the Marais robes have an additional cape piece that goes on top and the mask while similar is still distinct from the other design, the noble robe and mask design are reused in different colors and accessories for different NPCs from Tanith to Marais to Kenneth Haight and more so it's probably just the standard garbs nobles wear in the Lands Between.
I wonder why there is no potrait of Ranni before her death to be found.
Would love to see what she looked like and since it is Rennala's beloved daughter I expected to find one in the Carian Manor at least
BonfireVN can you do a close up on those Golems? They seem to have unique markings on them.
Those last three are so haunting. Love it

These dudes got glintstone wristbands, that is the drip...
I love how Elemer of the Briar is just staring at Malenia’s portrait for some reason when we find him. Like bro same
Oh how I would love to go back in time & meet some of the scholars who we don't see in-game.
It's interesting that Godfrey's axe is broken even in his portrait
Thank you so much for putting these all together!! I know I've mentioned in previous videos, this is a fantastic resource for artists. 🥰
Just wanna tell you I keep seeing your comments and I'm so happy for you
I know right :D I have done a few fanart pieces and always come to this channel for reference.
There is an intresting painting in stormveil, depicting limgrave's divine tower, but stomveil castle is not present, just an empty hill, probably implying that the towers are even older than the civilisations that preceded the golden order.
You know, I've been suspicious that Rykard was actually a blond for a while now, but the lighting in Volcano Manor made it so hard to tell, so thank you for sharing the paintings of him! (Wonder how Radagon explained that to Rennala lmao)
Also, is that painting of Tanith cut content? I don't remember ever seeing it anywhere in the game.
So that's where Rya got her hair from
Yeah Rykard having blond hair is hella sus
Well technically Renalla would be more sus than Radagon.
Since Renalla would've birthed Rykard herself, so it would seem like she cheated on Radagon with a blonde guy.
But ofcourse, Radagon wouldn't take mind of this since he/she knows exactly where the blonde hair comes from.
I don't think that Rykard was blonde, to me he's either aging or he lost his red hair due to stress for the whole blasphemy thing, the Gelmir knight helmet descipton seems to imply that he inherited his father's red hair "Helm worn by knights once loyal to Praetor Rykard. Its crest of red feathers symbolizes Rykard's pedigree as Lord Radagon's son."
@@pokimanefartcompilation The main point is that for Rennala herself, this could have been an extremely unexpected surprise he-he
"Radagon, make a cool pose for the portrait."
"Ok."
* T-poses *
(Goldmask reciprocates in approval)
I wonder why Godfrey's axe is broken in that painting. It got damaged outside of the Lands Between after he was exiled. I mean, the meta explanation is that they just used concept art for that painting but what about in-universe explanation. Maybe Godrick captured an a Tarnished painter and forced them to paint Godfrey in the way he's known among the Tarnished? The painting is accurate, so said painter must have seen Godfrey personally. Damn, having thought about it, how lucky Godrick must have been to get his many hands on that painting. Not only did he have to capture a Tarnished painter, but also a painter who was among the original Godfrey's Tarnished, not some of their descendants. Or maybe some Tarnished brought that painting to the Lands Between for some reason?
I think he'd had his axe broken vs Placidusax (or a similar great battle) and the projection we see is exclusively drawn from a 'perfect' version of him. He was named Godfrey to hide away his Hoarah Loux ancestry, so it makes sense that the holy simulacrum of him would be similarily 'smoothed over' and made perfect looking. The projection doesn't have Serosh either.
Elden Ring is a game about how the colonizers of a land destroyed it from the roots up, so it tracks the colonizing force (the Golden Order family) would even airbrush away flaws in a glorified sentry drone that carries the face of their queen's ex husband.
I think the safest explanation is that someone probably made the painting a long time ago and Godrick somehow managed to get his hands on it after no one else wanted it/had a need for it anymore. OR whoever inhabited the castle in the past had that painting.
But basically Godrick didn't need to force anyone to make the painting I think.
2:27 the look of Rykards portrait and the hands that we also see on him and his sword makes me wonder just how close him and the god devouring serpent really were. Side note so far we have had a lot of endings but a new ending with us properly joining forces with rykard or usurping him and maintaining hold of the manor would be a fun one that would play well with patches giving us a gift for Rykards old consort with a new outcome perhaps making this item cause her to actually come a bit to her senses and join you instead of being a sniveling mess eating her partners head. Would also give an ending that puts the lands into a new environment or "harder" / blasphemous state
As much as I love Godfrey I really hate how his armor looks when it’s on the player character. It looks like something a schoolboy would wear. With the short shorts and short sleeves that no gauntlets can cover.
Radahn's painting looks like they traced the Gigachad photo and painted over that. The perspective is even in the same angle
sellen looks so damn good in the painting
There is a landscape painting in a tower in stormville Castle, it's across the gap that leads down to Godwin's (other) corpse, through the shortcut door from the site of grace near a lift. It is as far as I can tell, a painting of limgrave and stormville Castle before the castle was built. And I have not seen any other piainting of it like that in the game.
Rennala's face is me halfway through my customer service shift lol
The portrait of Marika at 1:11 has always been interesting to me. It's probably the only insight we get into her actual personality, as it looks like a "sitting portrait." Her statutes seem more of a religious interpretation. It's a Mona Lisa type portrait where there feels to be a mystery to the character.
I do find it interesting that Ranni and Godwyn do not have any painting from before the shattering
It’s especially interesting considering those 2 are very obviously connected by the sheer fact that both were the catalysts of the shattering.
The closest for Godwyn we got is literally, the painting from the opening cinematic of the night of the black knives.
It’s also interesting that pre dlc miquella also had no painting besides, the one of mohg holding him which was also only in the opening cinematic.
Radagon hand is so tiny in that perspective lmao
These are incredible! Such good reference for fanart. Would it perhaps be possible to post these textures as jpgs or something so we can see them in as high quality as possible? Even watching the vid at the highest resolution is probably cutting some of the quality of these awesome portraits
In the portrait of the two scholars, the one on the left has a tabard, or hanging piece similar to the one worn on Lusat’s robe. An interesting detail as it isn’t included in any other robe
Well, Lusat is actually Olivinus, or at least made that conspectus.
"The lineage of the Olivinus Conspectus began with the sorcerer Lusat, and its adherents continue his study of meteors." - Olivinus crown.
"The Karolos Conspectus is the oldest of the academy's lineages of study, begat by the sorcerer Azur. Scholars who follow in his footsteps pursue the mysteries of comets." - Karolos crown.
@BonfireVN you missed a painting within stormveil. it´s in the dark room where gostoc, tries to have you killed by a banished knight. it seems to be a front view of godfrey and serosh
OH HELL YES!!!
I have really wanted to see all these in more detail! Thank u so much
The Radagon one and the Rykard one in the room with the Royal Knight's Resolve are my favourite in the game, just getting to see those two characters more clearly in their prime is such a treat, ESPECIALLY rykard.
Might make that banished knight portrait my phone background and the storm hawks laptop background
Always wonderd why Rykard looked so much older then his siblings
Radahn no longer looks anything like his portrait and we don't even know what Ranni would look like as she's a doll and her body may have been cast away hundreds to thousands of years before, as far as we know.
Rykard is the oldest son of Rennala & Radagon, and ranni is the youngest.
He looks like Rennala's father, and not the other way around. Rennala looks 30-ish meanwhile Rykard seems to be in his 50s lmao. Maybe there's something to do with Rennala's rebirth ability?
@@matheusbecker2351 perhaps Rykard just didn’t age well
Interesting, who is the mysterious masked noble in the second set of Gelmir paintings?
Inquisitor Ghiza perhaps?
He's Rykard. He's wearing a robe very simiar to the official attire worn by Inquistor Ghiza and the Marais executioner family and Rykard was an inquistor and executioner himself. In the lands between nobles often wear a metallic mask as part of their official suite (Marais mask, noble mask, consort mask), this mask is bearded like Rykard and also the red cloth on the mask could be a reference to his once red hair, the Gelmir knight helmet description seems to imply that he inherited his father's red hair like his siblings Radahn and Ranni: "Helm worn by knights once loyal to Praetor Rykard. Its crest of red feathers symbolizes Rykard's pedigree as Lord Radagon's son." In the paintings he seems to have reddish/whitish hair, maybe due to old age or stress for the whole blasphemy thing?
Also the painting is similar to the one figuring Tanith, and since they are the Lord and Lady of Volcano Manor it makes sense that the two portraits were originally supposed to be an official couple portrait of the two masters of Volcano Manor
@@aifos5171 then why have two separate portraits of Rykard in a different outfit and without a mask?
Also the metal masks that are worn in the lands between by nobles are not to their own face, as shown by the Marais mask being of the founder of the house and Tanith’s mask being of a foreign queen
in 1:15 are the people on the left and right Radagon and Marika?
Yeah
Sellen was a founding sorcerer
The Burger King Crowns are supposed to represent the likeness of the conceptus founder
Wearing a mask that's exactly the same as her own face would be a little weird
I was very disappointed to learn that the Twinsage Mask was based on two people and not some monstrosity with one body and two faces...
I hate Radagon's tiny hand.
To bad there isn't any drawing of human Ranni or Godwyn, he must have looked quite handsome with his golden hair before turning into a comatose ugly mermaid
Interesting about pretor riekhards portrait is that at the bottom of it there are hands that are very similar to the hands on his sword and theres a small snake wrapped around his arm

An small détail,but all the masks raya lucaria student wear are based on the painting of raya lucaria except rennala
Rykard looks really blond, which would make sense if marika and radagon were always the same
What about the sculpture on the obelisks in Uhl?
I always imagined this Debate Parlor going DOWNNNNNN back in the day, especially considering the Gavel of Haima
Who's the guy on the left in the last set of portraits? Right seems to be Tanith, center seems to be another portrait of Rykard based on the hair and crown, but the left has me stumped. Thanks for this video!
Probably Daedicar, who was once Rykard's male lover. It seems the concept they were going for was Daedicar as the left hand and Tanith as the right hand. But they changed Daedicar's role in the game so that he became a woman and also the birth mother of the Serpent Monsters/Rya. I don't know why they changed it, but the portrait is probably a holdover from when Daedicar was a man.
The guy's outfit is clearly a mirror version from Tanith's outfit and was brought into the game without a mask. I'm pretty sure that's the idea of it all...
The blue robes indicate some kind of official. Maybe Ghiza? It could just be a generic stand in for any dignitaries of the Volcano Manor.

@@aifos5171 The demigods aren't plain nobility though. Isn't it odd that a demigod would deign to dress in the manner of a regular human, of a servant? And the point of the masks is to let the wearer assume the role and esteem of something far greater and older than them. Whereby an unremarkable person legitimates their power as an inheritor or executor of some grand idea. The Marais mask represents all the history and prestige of that house. The ruler's mask embodies the model of an ideal lord. The consort's mask that of a queen where Tanith is merely consort and proprietress - which I think also precludes any depiction of her implying partnership instead of servitude to the Praetor and son of Radagon. If the demigods wore masks they should be of Marika, Godfrey or Radagon but they're distinct and powerful enough as direct offspring there is no need. Besides for references to their lineage like the use of red each are unto themselves a model to be imitated.
In brief, regular people wear the masks of gods and heroes. Gods and heroes need only their own image.
@@jamesmoor4697 Good point, though I still think that the person in the portrait is Rykard, maybe the mask is meant to represent himself lol
Is Radagon T-posing/doing that thing Goldmask does on his painting?
Yeah, it is the Golden order totality pose, so I'm pr sure it's like a "Holy thing" since he was a golden order fundamentalist. Doesn't stop it form being hilarious tho xD

The Axe of Godfrey shouldn't be broken in the Stormveil painting since it broke in a fight during the Long March
“Madam, you need to remove your helmet for the portrait.”
“Trust me, you WANT me to keep my helmet on.”

For those Who said Rykard is blonde, youre wrong...Ranni, Radahn and Rykard were redheads, proof of the lineage of Radagon...Rykard hair is strange in the paintings due to the colours the artist choose, but, even the items of the Game implies that the were redheads, and, even if you ask me, they all were affected by gigantism, but Ranni killer herself before the first signs appeared
Hey Bonfire, maybe you could do something like Irithyll vs Profaned Capital for Elden Ring? Like Morgott and Leyndell forces vs Radahn and Redmane forces
Are those Marika, Godfrey and Radagon 1:16?
Yeah
Seeing them in human form give me a strange vibe.
I wonder who that woman on the Raya Lucarian paintings and Sellen's mask is. We know for a fact it's not Sellen herself because she looks nothing like the painting or the mask, so who could it have been? Her mother perhaps?
You missed a Godfrey portrait in sotrmaveil castle
These are all beautiful and sexy
Half of the wizard dudes seems like a copies of one man: same beard, same look.
Queen Rennala was done dirty by Radagon and the Golden Order. From a powerful Sorceress and Queen to a broken down woman.
Fact cover woman Renala is on middle or left ：Renala. and man is on right man
So this confirms that Rykard is a actually a blonde. Honestly, this makes the whole thing with Radagon and Marika even more confusing since there's evidence that suggests they were different people before they merged into one being, but then you have small stuff like this that suggests they were always the same.
Yeah :/ and things like Radagon having a great rune somehow (To give to rennala) even tho he was just a champion. I really like to believe that radagon isn't just a different persona of Marika, idk I kinda like him (Even tho hes a piece of shit xD ) so the thought of him kinda not actually existing kinda sucks to me :p but I'm biased ig.
@@sierraandrews9921 I mean, Radagon seemed to be his own person even if he was apart of Marika in some way. Like, even when Marika began to resent the Golden Order, Radagon was still incredibly loyal. Or when Marika shattered the Elden Ring, he tried to repair it.
Although it seems that Radagon had different personality, I believe that he was always part of Marika, useful for her to be in many places at once. There is a theory I've read on Reddit (or somewhere) that Radagon represents the Regression part of the Golden Order, so he would want to keep things as they originally were, and Marika represents Causality, so she would be more inclined for progress. There isn't much known about Radagon, he's called a champion but we are never told where he came from, characters we meet don't seem to know either (Corhyn states that he has no idea, the Turtle Pope doesn't say anything specific either). So maybe he's some lesser part of Marika that she wanted to be her champion in places she couldn't go to? Maybe she created him from the basic, unchanging part of order so he stays loyal and it backfired?
Reminded me his AI literally Distorted Marica
I think there's an argument to be made here that we're seeing gray hair, not blonde.

Also the painting is similar to the one figuring Tanith, and since they are the Lord and Lady of Volcano Manor it makes sense that the two portraits were originally supposed to be an official couple portrait of the two masters of Volcano Manor
no godwin and ranni painting
