You know, I was really due to draw these guys...
Took me about an hour to render in pencil, and an hour and a half total to CG this. So proud. ♥

NOTE: I actually tweeted a preview of this illustration the day I completed it over on my twitter!

Yup. Ornstein & Smough. Biggie and Smalls. Ren and Stimpy. Jay and Silent Bob. Beavis and Butthead. Toejam and Earl. Bert and Ernie. Pinky and The Brain. Rocky and Bullwinkle. Cookies and Cream... wait, maybe not that last one... hehe.
[I could go on forever, hahaha!]

I also posted a "How I Color My Illustrations Part 02 " using this illustration! Go check it out~

You will need all the help you can get with these two. I summon a phantom NPC and Solaire all the time.

I'm pretty positive Ornstein is wearing Armor but I've never been able to figure out of Smough was or not...he just looks gross lol

Funny, cuz I drew this because of this .

That's Smough under his armor. He's a hunka-burning-love. ♥

lol a hunka-burning-love. 

Awesome!

Though that is pretty cool! Thanks for shedding some of that light on me 0 o0.

Do you know a lot about the Lore of Dark souls because there are some questions I have on thingse that just straight out confuse me XD

karniz In reply to Para-love [2013-08-31 08:02:06 +0000 UTC]

You can look it up online - there's a TON of information.

[I just don't have the time to recite it all... kehehe.]

Para-love In reply to karniz [2013-08-31 23:27:31 +0000 UTC]

Some of the info contradicts though. 

Example: Gwyndolin made an illusion of Gwynevere. Attack her and the illusion falls and things go crazy, BUT (here's the kicker) if you kill him she's still there and things don't go crazy, none of the other illusions he has made fall. That doesn't make much sense to me iunno though. Love this game

These two are the only ones who I can't find a Demon's Souls equivalent for. Does anyone have any idea?

I thought the Bell Gargoyles would be a better match for the Maneaters. :/

See, to me the Bell Gargoyles were pushovers...
Now the Maneaters? They make people throw controllers out the window! XD

EXADI In reply to karniz [2013-04-14 11:45:08 +0000 UTC]

No,I don't think the Maneaters are the equivalent of Ornstein and Smough, it's definitely the Gargoyles. The thing about Ornstein & Smough is that they are completely different and they cover up each other's weaknesses, while the Maneaters and the Gargoyles are almost the same boss just doubled.

I love this piece. I've been running an Ornstein page on Facebook for a while now and I was wondering if you'd mind me using part of this as a profile image. You'll be credited as the creator and owner of the work of course.

karniz In reply to T-Mikes [2012-09-05 02:41:54 +0000 UTC]

Surely! I only ask that you do not claim to be the artist of the illustration and that you link to my DeviantART page, and my main website @ noizmaker.net - thank you for asking first. Not many people do that. ^w^;;
[and maybe even link me the facebook addy? I don't actually use facebook... so I have no earthly clue HOW to even find it. ^u^]

T-Mikes In reply to karniz [2012-09-05 06:17:28 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. The picture's been uploaded and links to both your pages were included in the description. If you decide you'd like to take a look for yourself here is the link to the main page [link] As for asking first, don't mention it. It's your work after all so it's only right to get your consent first.

Ornstein's armour is beautiful.. I love the colour, and everything about that armour is perfect. On him. On me, it looks silly. I think it might be because we don't get the red plume?

Laamafani [2012-08-02 12:39:10 +0000 UTC]

For me this was the best boss fight in the game. I found the Capra Demon and Bed Of Chaos a lot more annoying than Pen and Teller here.

I think they were only slightly more annoying that the Four Kings. >u<;;

Digital-Ashes In reply to karniz [2012-08-02 13:03:24 +0000 UTC]

They were but then the update came out and iron flesh got nerfed so the the kings became harder. Now they're about even. I think. I haven't played in awhile

It might be nitpicking, but you do realize you weren't drawing a gold lion-headed guy, but a guy in armour, right?

karniz In reply to Hellmouth [2012-07-25 02:08:07 +0000 UTC]

Not nitpicking at all. I KNEW it would be pointed out by a ton of people, hehe.
Sadly twas an illustration done BEFORE I got the Dark Souls Design Works, which has amazing references to how their armors were drawn. So don't worry, all future illustrations of Ornstein will be done proper. ^w^

Sadly it was prior to my actual real reference for him... so I'll have to do another one sometime soon.
After I do Priscilla. hehe.

Ahh, Priscilla... I'll look forward to seeing her, and I'll add that I was extremely reluctant to kill her in the game, as she made such polite conversation...

Caimbreaksyou [2012-07-23 13:06:31 +0000 UTC]

Amazing rendition of these two. As always, your details are great.

Ornstein and Smough... Don't these two just bring back memories.
My first run through the game, I did without using backup on the bosses (neither NPC nor human).
Consequently, these guys were unpleasant.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

karniz In reply to Caimbreaksyou [2012-07-25 02:12:01 +0000 UTC]

They're unpleasant to even the most seasoned player, I think.
Me? I'm ridiculous... I prefer to stand back and pewpew with my Soul Spears and throw Fireballs. I RELY on help. So not fun. Nope.

Caimbreaksyou In reply to karniz [2012-07-26 14:39:54 +0000 UTC]

No, indeed not. Neither was spending the entire night learning their attack patterns (by taking those attacks on the jaw) and mastering the "fighting retreat" style of Dark Souls boss slaying.

DarkSoul-Sama [2012-07-23 11:52:11 +0000 UTC]

It looks pretty awesome, but I can't stop thinking about something...

Isn't the lion's mouth were Ornstein's eyes are supposed to peek out from?
If you drew teeth on it, he wouldn't be able to see

Now "that" would be an easy boss-fight!

karniz In reply to DarkSoul-Sama [2012-07-25 02:12:52 +0000 UTC]

yes yes yes. I know I know. Unfortunately this illustration was drawn BEFORE I had my hands on the Design Works so I didnt have good references for Ornstein... well now I do, so all future illustrations will be done proper~ [such with everything else in the game, I plan on using it a LOT. ♥]

kevmeister-1995 [2012-07-23 09:44:18 +0000 UTC]

I think another nickname I've heard for these two is "snorlax and pikachu"....fairly clever if you ask me

But either way,this looks epic...perhaps the most epic thing I've seen all month~
