I share obscure interviews, hidden details, and promo material for ICO (PS2).
I also repost Team ICO community fanart and news.

Creo que nunca llegué a compartir por aquí estas ilustraciones que hice de ICO, Shadow of the Colossus y The Last Guardian. Supongo que cuando salga Gen Atlas tendré que hacer otra para completar la colección ✨❤️
This is how I pictured a talisman that could double as a wind chime.
