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.
Tbf I found that portrait image of Astarion incredibly offputting until he actually joined my team. He looks better in-game. He’s kinda annoying, but kinda likeable too.
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 mean not to put too much effort into a meme but this is also from BG3. Wouldn’t call him too unappealing
