#gavialter

[annierosaart]

still getting back into drawing. decided to tweak gavialter's design to reflect native brazilian culture more accurately. these are directly based on the pataxó body paint style and significance.

A work of beauty.

“Eh, I’m not really gonna try on this limited banner. Eyjafjalter would be pretty fucking sweet, but I gotta save my orundum so I can eventually cheese W.”

Free ten roll:

Gavial's alter completely shits on her entire character, the entire POINT is that no she's not an amazing medic and yes she would be a fantastic bruiser but she CHOSE the path of the medic and her determination is in fact her true strength and with it she can defy fate, both her oripathy AND the way she's perceived as a muscleheaded brute. She acknowledges that it would be easier to punch her way through every problem but that's not! What! She! Wants!

[fishing-lesbian-catgirl]

Why did they make Gavialter’s hair like that anyway

[mlynar-nearl]

arknights gameplay fans i need to assure you that using blaze as a lane holder is only dead if you let it die and gavialter is not the devil of extreme power creep. blaze is still going to be more common for the average player. look at me. you are saying this because you are going to whale for gavialter and are on fifteen levels of metagaming. i am there too but i am looking down upon the average player and remembering that This Is Not Universal. amen

Some thoughts on some of the skins I bought (not counting free ones)

I got spooked by Saga and wasn't intending on E2ing her, but her skin is really good so I did

I normally don't like swimsuit skins, but the psychic damage from Saileach saying somber voice lines while winking was too incredulous to not partake in. I ironically enjoy the dissonance, and hers is the only case

I like how they sold a Ch'en cop skin after her character development where she stopped being a cop, but also they made it look like what I affectionate call her "slutty cop outfit"

Anything to not make me look at white woman dreads Gavial

I'm so torn on Nearlter's; I think I originally got it because of the novelty, but the chibi sprite is better than the skin art. Honestly, I'm hoping she gets another skin where she's dressed more like a campaign knight/Silverlance Pegasus

I got this one for Qiubai because it's cool and also I needed to distinguish her from Ines because their vaguely floaty E2 poses are damn near identical to me (and Qiubai already looks like Deer Schwarz)

Skadi swimsuit bad; much prefer this casual one

Ronin Hoshiguma is the best-looking Hoshiguma, period. I don't care much for her Dossoles fit, but at least she still wore pants in that!

Even though I bought both of Saria's skins, I prefer her BoC one because of story and that she looks so scruffy in it. Her jailer skin is still hot but I never use it. Prime well spent

Chalter skin is similar to Gavialter because the base art is so bad

Fartooth's is so wildly out there conceptually; I don't know what it has to do with her as a character or her story, but it has NoriZC's weird technical footprint and that's cool

Honestly, I don't have a problem with how Schwarz looks by default; her regular outfit is fine to me, personally, but I got her skin largely because of Liduke sneaking in Ceylon birb

I got W's skin before they jacked up the price

Nightingale is similar to Saria in that I never use this skin, even though it looks amazing. If her cages didn't have the pumpkin heads, I'd be more inclined to leave it on, but it's too seasonal

There's an issue I have about how Reed is subsequently looking Softer with each appearance, and while I know it's in part symbolic of her development, I don't really like it. OG Reed has a very sharp, intense, almost cold/unapproachable/detached vibe that I really dig, and it's very striking. I miss that. But this skin is still cool

Dorothy DMing a tabletop session between RL members is too good

God bless Indra in a suit, can we pretty please get more girls in suits???

Whislash E2 pose is so egregiously sexual, I can't even

Ugh, Andreana continues to be the most Gender character I've seen

Jieyun is like Saga--wasn't planning on E2ing her, but good skin compelled me to

I'll take Meteorite's oddly-foreshortened arm over her entire base art, because it's that bad. Why wouldn't you get the skin

Platinum's is the only swimsuit I genuinely like. It's gorgeous. Skade is a phenomenal artist

I don't generally like maid outfits (which is why I skipped Irene's), but Kjera I got because the story attached to it is funny. She wears it to annoy SilverAsh and that makes Pramanix happy, so why not?

Lava's... I kinda regret getting. I much prefer her OG art. RIP

Tomimi base art bad. Swimsuit much better. And it's white to match Gavial's black swimsuit--

Folinic's I also kinda regret getting, but I don't really feel strongly about her design, or even her as a character much. Not enough to warrant getting a skin at least

Honeyberry's skin makes her look older and not so young

I prefer bringing Whisperain over Lumen just because her skin is so pretty. Also infinite skill ear candy

Nine-Colored Deer was already beautiful, but her skin gives her a touch of handsome and wow, Gender Deer

Shamare's skin is self-explanatory

Red's skin I got pure for the idle animation; I don't really feel one way or another about the art itself. It's okay

If you didn't get Gravel's skin, you suck
