Image: Isometric Battle: Tarnished vs Necromancer Garris

This semi-realistic fantasy artwork presents an elevated, isometric view of a dramatic battle between the Tarnished and Necromancer Garris inside Sage's Cave, a haunting dungeon from Elden Ring. The composition emphasizes grounded anatomy, painterly textures, and cinematic lighting, offering a strategic and immersive perspective.

The Tarnished is positioned on the left side of the image, clad in full Black Knife armor with a deep hood that casts their face in shadow. The armor is composed of layered black plates and leather segments, designed for stealth and agility. A long, tattered black cloak flows behind them, caught in the momentum of their stance. In their left hand, they wield a glowing straight sword, its blade radiating a cool blue light that illuminates the surrounding mist and terrain. Their posture is low and aggressive, with the left leg bent forward and the right leg extended back, ready to strike.

On the right, Necromancer Garris stands in a commanding pose, his long white hair flowing wildly around his gaunt, furrowed face. He wears a tattered crimson robe cinched at the waist with a frayed black belt, the fabric draping loosely over his frame. In his right hand, he grips a spiked one-headed mace with a dark wooden handle and a metal sphere covered in sharp protrusions. His left hand holds a rusted chain flail ending in a grotesque, greenish skull with glowing red eyes. Another skull dangles from his belt, enhancing his necromantic aura. His stance is wide and confrontational, with both weapons raised and his eyes locked onto the Tarnished.

The cavern environment is richly detailed, with jagged rock walls, stalactites, and stalagmites forming a natural frame around the scene. The ground is uneven and covered in swirling greenish mist, which thickens near the characters’ feet. Numerous candles are scattered throughout the cave, casting warm golden light that contrasts with the cool blues and greens of the Tarnished’s sword and the ambient fog. The elevated perspective reveals more of the cavern’s layout, enhancing the sense of scale and depth.

The color palette blends cool tones on the left with warm tones on the right, heightening the visual tension between the characters. The semi-realistic rendering emphasizes expressive motion, detailed armor and robes, and magical energy. The composition is balanced, with the characters’ weapons and stances forming diagonal lines that converge at the center, drawing the viewer’s eye into the heart of the battle.

This artwork evokes themes of stealth, sorcery, and confrontation, making it a compelling tribute to the Elden Ring universe and its richly atmospheric world.
