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.
Connected to the Source Energy, but Earth is the forgotten beauty. Feeling your body, then suddenly the physical world doesn’t exist anymore. Moon transcending ice. Mother Nature whispers ‘’I see You, do you see Me?’’. In a world where nothing lasts forever, who is the passenger, who is the vessel?
Lady moon sends you a little card with an invitation❣️ she wrote it with an ink pen (that she believes might've broken down already because it got a bit uncomfortable to write with it in the middle) And so forgive the messiness, she did her best
first of all good evening to my dear lady moon 💗 i wish to ask her if she is still holding the tea party from yesterday because i would love to join her anytime. Can you please tell her from me that her handwriting is fascinating and her ink pen is really cool (when it doesn't spit ink on her paper and makes it hard for her!), and that i wouldn't change a single thing about this, even the messiness?
about her invitation oh lord i Accept and i would accept in every world because she can take me anywhere she likes, and i would still adore it in fact.. i could really give my soul for some of her magical cookies and THE TEA FROM HERBS!! i want to have all of this with her and our catdeer friend 🩷 tell her i could really use a small eternity right now so i can spend it with her in the rotunda. just seeing her charming calligraphic letters with the spirals and the extra designs in the edges like her favorite spiral brush makes me twirl my hair and kick the air and do spinnies around the room, no matter the circumstance!!!!!
