The look of Shadow of the Colossus (Team Ico, directed by Fumito Ueda, Sony Computer Entertainment, 2005; remade by Bluepoint Games in 2018): vast, empty landscapes under grey, hazy skies, ancient stone ruins, and giant moss-covered colossi towering over a lone small figure. Desaturated greens and greys, soft overcast light and a quiet, melancholy scale.

Usage

• Put a small figure next to something huge (a lone swordsman facing a giant stone colossus) for the signature composition.
• Works for landscapes, ruins and creatures. Character portraits are weaker; the style comes through mostly in environments.

Note: fan-made style LoRA. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment, Team Ico or Bluepoint Games.
