Ys Official artwork?

[koa]

Hey guys, your friendly neighborhood KoA here. I've been in the midst of making a piece of art of Adol fighting Nygtilger and I've reached a bit of a snag; There are like no references of him to go off of.

I've tried using his sprites, but they are much too low resolution to make out his bodily features and there is only one sprite rip of them out there (mine)

This led me to wonder if Falcom ever released any art, conceptual or official, of Nygtilger, and the other bosses from he first two games.

I know the Megaman series is famous for releasing artwork of their games and characters and artwork is always easily accesible, but I have yet to stumble across any for Ys.

It would be appreciated if you guys could help an artist out with some good references or links.

(FYI I'm also looking for Velagunder)

Well... if that counts, you can see it pretty well in the Ys I anime.

Though you won't find Velagunder in the Ys II anime...

I guess I'll have to watch the anime then. I just didn't want to deviate from the design of it too much where Nygtilger isn't even identiiable. (Kinda like what happened to Khonsclard in Ys Origins. WTF that didn't even look like him)

Yeah that would be cool. I remember seeing some time attack vid on youtube. Of all the bosses in Origins, Nygtilger is the only one that remained most similar.

Jenocres looked like some tentacle monster.

Nice, a bit hard to discern details, but it's better than nothing.

Thanks MP. between this and th video Wyrd sent me, I should have ample material for this pic.

Also, we can use this topic as a general resource for Ys art. I'm more than interested in seeing the concepts and designs from the rest of the bosses of the series.
