In the base game, Jowan looks exactly the same in his appearances. Mage robes when he's supposed to be an inconspicuous tutor, perfectly healthy looking in the dungeon. Completely unchanged before or after. I understand why that's the case, but I'm just a sucker for characters changing their appearance as the story progresses. And after finding stoupax's Jowan the Tutor and Levyn the Apostate, I decided to try my hand at something something similar!
Circle Origin
Just some slight changes. I edited his skin tone, made his eyes more of a blue as opposed to the greyish tone they were before, tweaked his eyebrows a bit, made slight changes to his mouth and nose and gave him some freckles, as a treat.
The Arl of Redcliffe
Since he's been in the dungeons for who knows how long and he'd been tortured by Isolde and her men for answers he didn't have, I wanted him to look rough. I gave him bruised and discolored skin, a super scruffy face with overgrown sideburns, disheveled hair, deep eye bags and made his nose even more crocked.
I gave him a new outfit, generic commoner clothes, since Isolde was the only one who knew he was a mage. Much easier to play off being just a normal tutor/member of the house staff when dressed as a commoner as opposed to a circle mage.
Jowan's Intention
NOTE: As Jowan's Intention is bugged in the game and normally inaccessible (as stated on the wiki), you'll need either Qwinn's Ultimate DAO Fixpack or theskymoves' Jowan's Intention Fix in order to actually see these in game.
(Also, I have no saves on hand to take pictures of the edits I made, so feel free to post your own! :D *hint hint*)
Being free from the dungeon, I changed his face texture back to what it was originally, lightened his stubble considerably, and gave him longer hair (Duncan's ponytail my beloved). He's all healed up, ready to help people and do some good, just like he wanted to.
I've given Jowan Reaper's Vestments and the Torch of Embers as his weapons and armor, as opposed to his generic mage robes.
I've also included an edited UTC for Jowan's inexplicable twin (one of his refugees uses his face morph), swapping his morph out with a different one from the magi origin (he now uses the morph of the mage who regretted not becoming a warden). I decided on that one to a. match the toolset referring to his refugees as "old" and b. to match the other two refugees who also reuse morphs from the magi origin. I also changed his commoner clothes to a different style, just as personal preference.
