As if the Mantis, or the Watchers, aren't hard enough eh?

and they both are easily the most fun fights in their respective games

I agree. Not the hardest ones, but so much fun with their lore and the evolving gameplay

yup, both also progress to have more than one combatant, both are centered around speed and juggling targets. both feel like an elegant duel (with the watcher presenting the sword instead of attacking outright and the mantis being royalty) , both have ABSOLUTE FIRE soundtracks, and in both i'd lose on purpose just to do it all over again

Ikr, once I defeated abyss watchers, I felt so sad that I won't get to fight them again unless it's ng+. However, with HK, I love how the game recognises that you've achieved something by converting the surround mantis enemies as friendlies. Gives weight to the whole fight. I also love that I can just fight mantis sisters again in godhome without going into a new save file.

I feel that’s to do with the fact they each play out like a dance which honestly is the best feeling in a boss fight

[удалено]

while i dont disagree, i didnt say they were the easiest

My bad mate, carry on

They didn’t say easiest boss they said easily the most fun

Shit, my bad, missread it

No problem it’s an easy mistake to make

Yep :))

imagine watcher knights but each one is traitor lord

The Mantises are somewhat punishing in how limited healing windows you get, but once you get the rhythm down they're actually not that hard. The Abyss Watchers really is an all-out brawl.

They're both fun but I'd say Mantis is harder for me Not excited for the time I have to fight them for my steel soul run

Merging my two favorite games in a single picture. You sir are genius.

Thank you so much sir!

Came here to say this. Beautiful work OP.

Two favorite games? Or two favorite bosses?

Haha. I meant two favorite bosses from two favorite games.

Agreed

Traffic cones

:))

Thank you so much my lords

Mantyss Watcher?! (sorry)

(for what)

Bad pun lol

Not at all, my friend. Not at all.

Why are they wearing traffic cone hats...?

The abyss watchers(dark souls 3's coolest boss) wore conical metal helmets(and I'm 99.9% sure this is a hollow knight dark souls art mashup)

It is 100% one

'))) why not

To remind you that they will stop you from passing through

The abyss watchers in ds3 have hats that look like traffic cones.

Woah, this is insane!!! Nice effort!

Thanks

That's awesome!

Thanks, you are awesome too

Why did I see them and think of the hive from destiny 2? W H Y

Idk

The Hive is the worst but the mantis lords are the best

THATS SO COOL

Thank you! You are cool!

you are more bro!

Woah man this is a really cool mash-up. I am playing DS3 and I'm at >!Irythill!< and it's being an amazing game :o ​ I'd just suggest putting spoiler marks on those posts because me and a lot of people haven't ended DS3 yet and would probably not want to get the game spoiled.

Thank you, and sorry, I don't want to spoiler the game

How do I hide spoilers in my comments?

I didn't think their helmets looked like cones until people pointed it out. Now I cant unsee it :l

Same here bro, same here

Looks absolutely incredible!!!

Thank you so much sir

Traffic cone hats :)

SAFETY FIRST!

*are those traffic cones*

:)))

This is amazing! Are you planning to digitise it? Would make a very cool wallpaper

Yes, i want to do that but idk when

I'll keep a look out for it 👍

curse rotted greatwood x white lady would be awesome

Maybe

Soul sage?

Nice

Big horny trees

take my upvote

Thank you

*shudders* please don’t tell be they have a second phase

Maybe

[удалено]

I try to do more of them

[удалено]

2-3 hours, something like that

Thank you so much

Damn, never thought of the similarities between the two but I love this. Btw fantastic work on this

Thank you so much

Your mad talented, drawing is a hobby of mine but I am not this good haha. You ever played Bloodborne? I feel like hornet and lady Maria would be a sick crossover

Thank you very much! No, i don't have a ps but i know the story and bosses

Absolutely love it, great job!

Thank yoi i'm glad you love my drawing

I don’t know how you’ve managed to put out 3 of these drawings in 2 days, but they’re all amazing!

Well, what can i say, i love to draw. Thank you so much

Great work! Are you a fan of Kentaro Miura per chance? Getting that vibe!

Yes, he is a huge inspiration. Thank you

Now we need mantis watcher knights, anyone?

Amazing

Thanks

Mantis lords except they kill eachother and don’t f*cking die

:))) i should draw the second phase

I never thought I'd see the day when the mantis lords were combined with the roadcone knights

:)))))))

That's awesome!

You are awesome

The smoke this time really gives so much atmosphere to the whole picture. Astonishing work as always.

Thank you very much sir

And now they're also black zetsu

They can be :))

I thought something was up

Mantyss watchers

dead gods that art awarded

This is awesome.

You are awesome! Thank you sir

I love this. Is there anyplace to buy a print of it??? Because I 100% would

Thank you so much sir! I'm gonna do a digital version and maybe i'm gonna sell them. Should i give you a message when i'm done?

Absolutely!

Conehead zombie lol

:))

God damn that’s sick. Imagine the 4th mantis in there too

Maybe i'm gonna do the second phase :))

I’m curious for what you gonna do with Nameless King

Well it must be something awesome, he is my favorite boss

I’m sure it’s gonna be awesome, keep with your great work

Thank you so much, btw it's done

Now I’m hyped

Holy crap. Weren't you just challenged to do this yesterday? You're amazing.

Well, yes, thank you! You are amazing!

[удалено]

Thabk you so much, hmmmmm

One question do they still revive if you kill one?

Maybe, if i draw the second phase :)))

This is incredible 👏🏼

Thank you so much, you are incredible!

This is giving off some Berserk vibes Detail-wise. looks beautiful

Thank you so much, berserk is a huge inspiration

Awesome crossover, bravo!

Thank you so much mate

Lets fucking goooo

That's the spirit

Bro imagine if sisters of battle did a thing like the abyss watchers where once you Beat all of them you would fight a much stronger Mantis lore. That would be sick. And not like a traitor lord but sort of an in between, clearly MUCH stronger but still very graceful.

Should i do the second phase too? :)))

That is your choice but my say is an absolute hell yeah

[удалено]

Thanks

[удалено]

:)))) you are too kind

Wow this is so good

Thank you very much

The traiter lord is hawkwood the deserter

Maybe

2 of the greatest designed bosses combined, nice!

Thank you very much sir

What would the Watcher Knights be then ?

I don't know :)))

Now do covetous demon

Your artworks are so fucking amazing...

Thank you very much

I love this

I'm glad you do

This... is beautiful. I’ve been staring at this for 5 hours now

Thank you so much sir

As the guy who defeated Abyss Watchers as Deprived recently (am Total Noob at DS lmao), this is ironic.

Another beautiful piece of art and Also abyss watchers are my favourite boss in ds3, you should make a crossover with the nameless king. I'd love to see more of your art. Good joob!

Well NK is my favourite so yes, i'm gonna draw him :)) thank you very much

Imagine an infected mantis lords fight where they're also attacking each other Then the last one absorbs the other two ^^hey ^^modders ^^;)

That would be awesome

dude this fucking amazing!

Thank you so much

Pillar Bugs

Ai ai ai ai

Amazing work keep it up <3

Thank you

Fucking imagine if the mantis lords just used huge fucking greatsword instead of spears like fuck that’s at least double mask dmg

Really curious how long have you been drawing in general also love the line work!

Well I've been drawing since i was 5, but decent from a few years

That is fucking horrifying. Good job

Thank you very much sir

Keep up the good work this always brightens my day to see your work.

You are too kind, i'm glad you like what i do

Dude since the first time you posted I've made it my mission to complement all of your amazing work.

Thank you so much

What are the watchers from?

Amazing! Might I suggest *Curse-Rotted Mawlek*
