Where Are The Artsy People In Dark Souls and Bloodborne?
Added 2017-07-05 15:51:25 +0000 UTCThe Sousborne universe is beautiful and detailed. For a while now, I have been wondering who are all the painters, sculptors, architects (in terms of NPCs, and in-game characters) responsible for creating all the beautiful sights and producing all the wonderful art?
Perhaps someone can help me out. As I type this post, I can't think of an item description, or piece of dialogue, which could point toward the minds behind the sculptures, structures and paintings we encounter.
Of course, we could say that all the statues are simply petrified people taken from the crystal cave. We could assume that the paintings are windows into the past. And we could explain that the buildings have been created by the first flame, as it brought contrast to the world. Those things, however, seem unlikely.
If you have any insight, please let me know, I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject!

Andre the blacksmith is well versed in weapon creation. Perhaps the smiths have a hand in creating the environment which we end up exploring.
We also hear about Ariamis who is said to have created a painted world. We meet a painter girl in a snowy land. Moreover, Ariandel may have some artistic talents, as he's responsible for restoring the painting he inhabits.
Although all three of those characters seem to be artists, they are tied to creation of worlds. Creating worlds might be a totally different beast, and could require a completely separate skill set, than making a statue to honor god of war, paining Gwyenevere to showcase her beauty, or building cathedrals to propagate the age of light.
