#character face claims

[spoiledblogif]

The closest face claims I can find for "R". I really wish I knew the male model's name but I can't find it anywhere. The female model is Sasha Luss.

Unfortunately as I start doing this, I'm realizing I'm not going to be able to give you guys face claims for the Kestrel. As they are not human, I'd have to fall back on artwork and I don't want to do that without the artist's permission.

some rough concepts of Dal Maararl - Izar's late Jedi Master. still thinking about his saber color but it's prob gonna be green.

now i have some post-Order66 options for him: either i tortured and brainwashed him into an Inquisitor somehow, or i use his corpse to lure Izar out of hiding.... or i could just let him die hmmmmm...Izar will have to watch him die protecting them no matter what tho haha 🕺

Today's my first day on testosterone, and to celebrate that, I present these:

as you can see, this is Jon with a huge Blåhaj—I started working on the mechs drawings, but they're fully rendered pieces in a style that is quite different from mine, and I was aching for something quick that didn't have to be finished and polished

Also: yay, Melanie debut!

"claiming any writer ever intended to write that jason was sexually assaulted as a child is stealing from mia" is still one of the most ridiculous takes i have ever seen. by the way

I have no idea whats going on in Amanda the Adventurer lore wise but I keep seeing her monster design in thumbnails and its so bad it pisses me off so have some foeart about it (like fanart but angry) + some process doodles

Just a periodical reminder that i do not allow people to use my OCs as their own character/ as their character face claims. Even in your private games, please don’t :’) thanks

I know in my heart that that one picture of Marcus Vanco as Bandon in the Shannara Chronicles where his hair is messy and there’s blood on his face will forever be the closest to an Aiden face claim I’ll ever be able to find (minus the blood. and a little younger)

Glad to see G getting some of the love they deserve 😤😍

Also I'm very curious what a romanced G would think of MC wearing jewelry that matches their namesake? (Gauges for Gage, garnets for Garnet)? 👀👀

Or for extra drama...maybe they started doing it in uni when they were dating and haven't stopped even though they broke up? (Can't imagine Chris would've liked that much oop lmao)

They really do deserve it. Poor G has to deal with so much. sorry g sorry

G would love it, because it shows that MC cares enough to carry something that symbolizes them/their relationship. Like an MC who has the option to throw away G's sweater in ch. 2? Or keep it, and wear it.

Confused? Happy? Angry?? G wouldn't be sure how to feel. Because shouldn't MC have been over them and happy with Chris? Why did they keep it this long? Does that mean that MC hasn't completely ruled out the idea of rekindling a relationship/rebuilding a friendship. (Is secretly very happy and hope that Chris saw it at the most inopportune moment. G would rub it in their face if they could.) (G can be petty, oh so petty. You will get to see that side of them.)

what’s up with the rapidly growing, unapologetic fatshaming in the tags these days. like mind your own business lmfao why are you so pressed about fat people liking your favorite character. bitchless AND friendless behavior i fear!

So Nikolaj Coster Waldau is probably the closest match I can find to Carter.

Handsome with just enough grizzled old bastard energy to look tired all the time.

In case you missed it, Game Rant did an interview with Nikolay Dybowski about Pathologic 3. Here is the link for it.

And here are the bits that stood out the most to me:

Q: The non-linearity of time and how it will be related to the nature of the Town are also core story components. How did this affect design and direction?

A: Connecting non-linear time with a long, narrative-heavy story that involves many characters and cause-and-effect chains would be extremely difficult. We focused on what the player feels in the moment rather than on gathering information in the right order. The latter approach works well in shorter formats like Her Story or 12 Minutes, but in Pathologic, it would be overwhelming.

We wanted players to feel like “everything, everywhere, all at once”—similar to Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse-Five. Different versions of reality coexist simultaneously, creating a “quantum” feeling for the player. Look at the time travel mechanic as an opportunity to correct mistakes, or even to make deliberate mistakes in order to unlock new paths and ideas. It is like a "sanctioned save scum."

-

Q: Conversely, how will it (Pathologic 3) connect to and consider the events and characters in Pathologic 2?

A: Consider it as two subjective retellings of the same events. This is the same Town, the same twelve days, the same participants and events that occurred in the Haruspex’s story. But this is a different perspective. Like two witnesses recounting the same event in Rashomon, the stories vary greatly, each focusing on different details. Finally, we always give our heroes the right to make honest mistakes, forget, and even lie. Every narrator is an unreliable narrator.

-

Q: How did Pathologic’s previous philosophical explorations help inform or play into the narrative and themes here?

A: Everything we now see as true and valuable, we’ve kept. Everything we’ve outgrown, like childhood clothes, we either reimagined and reinterpreted to give these ideas new meaning, or let go of them. After all, we’ve grown a lot (hopefully, along with the industry). When I first conceived Pathologic, I was 21 and completely alone. Now I’m 47, surrounded by incredibly talented people who enrich this universe as much as I do, and that makes a difference.

We’ve kept the idea of the tragedy of utopian projects. We kept the idea that the plague is a voice of the natural order—one that the thinking human mind cannot accept—and that it has its own truth. We retained the belief that evil cannot be defeated with its own tools or outplayed on its field; yet it can be defeated realistically in a different, orthogonal way. In another dimension.

-

Q: It’s mentioned that the Bachelor is searching for an immortal man in Pathologic 3. Can you say if this is in reference to Mark Immortell?

A: No, there’s no connection between Simon Kain (one of the town’s rulers) and Mark Immortell (the director of the town theater). Mark is a clown. He awkwardly mimics Simon, parodying him, which is why he takes on this pseudonym. He's fully aware that he’s a jester, and the gesture itself is ironic.

-

Q: What do you hope players will take away most from Pathologic 3?

A: The hope that humanity remains a promising and capable species.

Face claims for CT:OS characters

<See the character descriptions with the awesome character portraits drawn by @dumplingcatho here>

These face-claims are not perfect, I generally chose actors/actresses (sometimes sportspeople) with the same nationality where possible, so take these with a pinch of salt.

M!Tobin—Eli Goree

F!Tobin—Jordan Thompson (volleyball player)

M!Sam—Iain de Caestecker* *With more unruly hair—example bottom right, from some random hairstyle website

F!Sam—Rose Leslie + Sadie Sink + some version of Brittany Snow's wavy bob(?)

Guillaume—Gaspard Uliel

Geneviève—Noémie Merlant

M!Rayyan—Mena Massoud (top)* + Ahmad Magdy (bottom right)**

*I know he recently tweeted something sus about The Little Mermaid. **Before he got so rugged.

F!Rayyan—This one was really tough. Spirit of Egyptian squash player Nouran Gohar (top) + Caroline Azmi (left, middle row) + Amina Khalil (the rest) but less feminine (by several notches).

So recently I had a pretty genius idea….. And it’s been popping off on TikTok…..
