#eso's character modelling fucked you over big time huh
Text
on the one hand, eso is allergic to pretty young men npcs and its engine affords absolutely ZERO aesthetic favours towards mans... which is why bastian looks wayyyyy older than 27 and craggy as hell visually.
on the other hand, his character is great and griffin puatu's performance is so goddamn wonderful and endearing that it overlays and makes up for any lacking visuals on the game's part...
all this to say, i treat drawing bastian a little like how all those oblivion fan artists approached interpreting lucien lachance back in the day.
not quite to that extent, but like, same energy.
#he deserves to be less haggard#i still try to be as accurate as possible#y'know while obvs translating to whatever the frickafrack my style is at the moment#this is just an overcomplicated post to say i always have trouble drawing him and am never satisfied#how does one even do it#gah#bastian hallix#first time i did blackwood and heard him i was like 'wow that's young for what im looking at but okay'#but y'know griffin sells it#and then you hear bastian's backstory and you're like WAIT you're not even 30 yet? OH GOD#eso's character modelling fucked you over big time huh#blackwood has a lot of problems with that honestly#but that's a diff post#artists thirsting over potato lucien are valid#transforming oblivion potato face into something beautiful is amazing and valid#especially when you can actually tell at a glance who you're looking at#look i love oblivion but jdfksal;fdjskla;#ramblings#art talk#eso
