Just say you like femboys, OP.
He’s not fat, he just has some thick bones
It’s the striping, something to do with the angle
Left side - androgyny-ish. Right side - male anger issues and revenge fantasies.
Ur Fav[e]
None of these look like everyday Sumerians as one would see in Ur.
They don’t even get but bitched out by a customer who owed them debt, no representation for the greatest copper merchant.
Note Ea-Nasir was owed money by Nani, which using other roughly contemporary documents the amount owed could’ve bought Ea-Nasir like 12 years of labor from a skilled team of mariners.
Also Comic from Ratopamboarts because where else am I gonna post this.
Ur my hero
Udreeeheeeeeeeee
Meanwhile FROM SOFTWARE character design:
I think western design is a result of aiming for the most realistic look possible. It limits the amount of artistic expression and results in less immediately attractive characters.
Eastern design is like 60% realistic 40% anime and that gives them enough room to create doll like characters that have exaggerated or unrealistic features that people naturally find attractive.
Who’s the bottom left of the eastern side?
I’m pretty sure they’re all bottoms, but maybe some of them are power bottoms
Oh sorry I misread, I don’t know who’s the “bottom left”
Pinocchio from Lies of P maybe
Personaly i have much easier time to identify with ugly old males than teenager models.
hmmm
I mean not to put too much effort into a meme but this is also from BG3. Wouldn’t call him too unappealing
Nothing against the artist, they’re obviously highly skilled, but this (and other) character art is the biggest barrier to me wanting to try BG3.
I really don’t like it and have a hard time putting the reasons why into words. At the very least, the sneering smile, the hand gesture… It’s all too much. Feels like a Marvel movie poster.
I think they’re all in the style of D&D portrait art which is always/often trying to portray as much about the character as possible without resorting political cartoon labels.
A movie promo poster is not too far off an assessment.
I also simply dislike Astarion. I have never understood the appeal.
The writing for his character is a rare mix of selfish and evil that functionally meshes with the storyline.
But I don’t care for him anyway.
In my evil run he ended up being pretty fun. But he does usually end up dead in the nautiloid crash region otherwise.
I brought him on a goody good playthrough and regretted it.
well that’s the point isn’t it? it’s not a Bethesda game, you don’t gotta catch’em all and there are consequences to your actions
Counter point KOTOR 2 made me want to collect an increasingly eclectic and thoroughly insane group of misfits. Which admittedly just devolves into Kreia being a bitch while T3 and HK act like an old married couple.
I completely understand the appeal but I still just don’t like him. Great story! Still don’t want to be near him!
It’s funny watching him get ganked by goblins while Dark Urge, Laezal, Shadowheart actually deal with the problem.
The Dreamworks face doesn’t help
people call everything that now. this is not dreamworks face.
The “western” ones here look more real. The “eastern” ones look fake to me. I definitely think this post is weird bait.
This is an (old) parody of an even older (allegedly sincere) meme comparing women in video games. The “ugly western” women were like Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn, the ladies from the Last of Us 2, and I think new Lara Croft from the reboot series. The “beautiful and correct” eastern women were all anime characters with huge tits, obviously.
The joke here is of course that all the “western” men are stereotypically masculine and all the “eastern” men are bishonen anime characters and femboys.
I say it was “allegedly sincere” because how could you even tell if something like that is parody or a truly held chud belief?
Ah, I see. Thanks for that explanation.

Kenshiro consumed so much manliness from Japan that, even 40 years later, the country has not fully recovered. Their situation is so dire that not even Shinzo Abe telling men to procreate could keep the population from shrinking

He’s on the left pic, bottom
Oh, believe me I noticed
Does it bother anyone else that eastern is on the left and western is on the right?
Just a lil casual southern hemisphere dominance.
Because a percentage of incels living in mom’s basement want a video game character that looks like them; dirty, and poorly groomed. The rest of the incel and non incel gamers will pick a female/feminized avatar to look at digital tits and ass all day. As a female, non incel gamer, I would also rather look at tits and ass all day and play a character I identify with.
