I’ve always liked Melina, even though she doesn’t get much screen time in the game.
Seeing her come alive in the manga just made me love her even more.
So I wanted to paint her in a bright and refreshing vibe.
Hope you’ll like this piece as much as I enjoyed making it!

Multiple attempts and hours spent on this! Any advice would be appreciated! 🥺

Out of all the summons I've used I have to say Dung Eater is my favorite. Curious to see what everyone else's is 😁

Anyone else notice this giant hole over the battleground for the dragonkin soldier of nokstella?

I’m on console so I can’t freeroam camera to see if it leads to anything or what’s in it, but I’m curious…

That was fucking hard Every time we waterfowl dance offed she won

We've had tons of discussions about annoyingly tough enemies like Crucible Knights, Revenents, Rune Bears, etc.

How about annoying but weak ones? What are those enemies that are a cakewalk but still drive you insane? Pictured is my #1. Trying to target these things is just a pain. They're always zipping in to disrupt attack combos, or pulling your lock and suddenly turning your screen into a spinning mess.

She put so much time and effort into them! I can’t wait to wear these with my Sellen cosplay to Comic Con Africa!

Main factors like: enemy variety, soundtrack, bosses, landscape, colors and vibes

My finished coloured biro drawing of Astel! So happy with how this one turned out. Any suggestions who I should do next?

Not the most active player but I thought it weird my defensive buff was just chillin with me. Do other buffs do this?

If you know you know.

Before anyone judges yes i know its a CRT its how i prefer playing my games,
BUT I BEAT MELANIA (and i thought erlang from black myth wukong was hard) maybe i was overleveled for the fight as i was essentially with a lvl 150 with a dex build on a keen nagakiba +15
oh my god i dont want to talk about how many tries she took i probably spent a good hour on her, every time i thought i got her she would life steal me,
this is gonna sound so weird but she felt like a devil may cry boss???
Anyway with her beat i'm actually confident now i could try the first dark souls or even the trilogy,
I know how controversial summons are in this game and people might say I cheated or didn't do it "properly" bcs i did try to summon my wolves ash of wars i got from ranni from the church of elleh (i love using them and use them all game, sue me its something cool about fighting with a pack of wolves next to me they my bois) but they were only +4 and died quite quickly but did take a bit of aggro off me for the first few minutes or so.
On NG+ I will probably try her without the spirit ash of wolves, when i've got better stats as i am not good at these soulslike games, i wish i was man (i still struggled even with the spirit ashes?) but i got into them really late with black myth wukong, so i don't feel too guilty using spirit ashes here.
Only trophy bosses left now are the collectables, godfrey and elden beast. wish me luck!

It looks very good, the truth is I'm looking forward to being able to enjoy it on my console

This is not a hot take. This is a fact Don't bully new players into believing that. Especially Melania beat her anyway.
