The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, despite its age, continues to inspire gamers all over the world.Skyrim’s expansive landscape encourages players to explore and experiment, and that creativity and freedom often extends to ideas outside of the game itself.
Skyrimfanart of many kinds are very popular among fans of the series.Skyrimfanshave drawn, written, molded, printed, and carved art in appreciation ofSkyrim, and one such fan has now shared a beautiful painting inspired by the dragons ofSkyrim.

The painting was shared by LongFineArt, who wanted to bring attention to their wife’s impressive work. Standing with the painting in front of them, LongFineArt’s wife poses with the art of a profile shot of a dragon’s head. Within the image of the dragon is the landscape ofSkyrim, complete with its towering mountains, tall trees, and another dragon soaring above it all through the sky.
LongFineArt’s wife, who shares their work as Painted Dragon Studios, clearly put a lot of effort into the piece. The image seems to stir up memories forSkyrimfans, and many people spoke up in support of the art and wondering where they could buy it for themselves. Painted Dragon Studios offers prints and original paintings, including many based on popular fantasy series likeSkyrimandThe Lord of the Rings, for sale on their Etsy shop, though at the time of writing, it doesn’t look like this particular painting is available.
The open world ofSkyrim, its seemingly never-ending list of mods, the sweeping soundtrack, andmemorable characters of Tamrielhave all led players to still feel incredibly attached to the game. While it’s easy to think that players will leaveSkyrimbehind and move on when Bethesda finally releasesThe Elder Scrolls 6, chances are thatSkyrimwill still be a classic to return to for diehard fans.Oblivion,Skyrim’s predecessor, still has an active playerbase, and fans are still working hard to makeSkyblivion, an effort to bringOblivion’s world and campaign to the newer game.
Fantasy game fans in the comments mention thatSkyrimcontinues to fill a niche that has been seemingly underserved as of late. WhileElden Ringjust released, major franchises likeThe Elder Scrolls,Dragon Age, andThe Witcherhave gone dormant in recent years. However, with a newDragon Agein the works andThe Elder Scrolls 6likely becoming Bethesda’s main focus following the upcoming release ofStarfield,fantasy gamers should have a lot to playin the years to come.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
