    Beora is what I would call a magnificent barbarian, Rick mate...there is a marvellously realistic and intensely dangerous "earthiness" about her that places one foot on the ground and the other in Valhalla!

    Superb warpaint, and the right amount of dirt...all this and I'll bet she has a very enchanting smile too!!

      I'm pleased to hear you say that you see her like a true barbarian, because in my writing she's one of the more prominent and renowned wildlanders. She should actually appear a bit older - close to her 40 years of age - but I'm using a skin texture that focus more on the younger side, mainly due to the fact I kind of like seeing these "names and legends" in my world as their younger selves. It kind of fits as if these are captures from their adventuring days before they found their present paths to walk upon.

      Beóra herself is even a chieftain of a quite feared tribe, she stands tall and strong, wielding a greataxe and is very connected to her spirit animal - the bear. She's famed by her title "The Queen of Fogs", because her nomadic tribe hails from a vast moorland with lots of mist, grey skies and fallen enemies to her people.

      I'm sure there's a smile in there sometimes, but lets just say her warpaint hides it well...

      Many thanks, Les!

      Yep! She got the full bodywork order in place with that warpaint. I like my barbarians mixed with dirt and colours!

      Thank you!

    Very interesting barbarian character. 
    You've always had a good sense for using war paint in an artistic way. Both in terms of the composition of the overlays and the choice of colors.

      Thanks a lot!

      It's quite joyful to load up some of these saves again, because it's both nostalgic as well as close to the feeling of seeing the game all anew. I've spent so many hours on turn-based RPG's with a stack of companions to control the last few months - still heavily invested in Baldur's Gate 3 - so it feels almost unnatural to control only one character...

      Yes, I do like to mix and match with patterns and colours for the warpaints, but mostly for barbarians or specific cultures - in my written world - that tend to use these sorts of adornments on their bodies/faces.
