Here’s a screenshot for the weekend courtesy of Numeriku. I believe this is Erevan on the hill before he takes on the bandit horde in A Rose Without Thorns. This is a part of a two-picture set, actually, with Numeriku’s interpretation of the White Rose here.
Here’s an interesting juxtaposition of Valguses. Valgii? The first, by 324b21, is the younger version, the soldier who fought in the Great War and didn’t know a lick of magic. Wide of eye and full of heart, he’s a bit naive. Simple, even.
In this comic by LadyGray, we have the Valgus you meet in game. Tired eyes and disheveled hair. War-weary. Able to heal anyone and everyone save himself. So this is him, letting go and embracing his future, literally. Love is like an anime. It’s ridiculous and cheesy and nonsensical but in the end, kind of fun.
And lastly, this one by Numeriku reminds me of an older, wiser Valgus, meditating and doing old people shit. In the game Valgus is probably in his early fifties and deeply depressed, so I think this sketch is probably about a decade after. He seems happier here, almost like a Buddha. Hanging out with the Dragonborn tends to do that.
The last time I put a series of GIFs on the front page the website nearly had an aneurysm, so I’ve mostly abstained from using them. However, someone pointed me toward the excellent Gfycat site, which transforms them into the sleeker, sexier MP4s.
This is a Daenlyn GIF from Numeriku, strumming your pain with his fingers and singing your life with his words. Some people just can’t help but kill softly, but in MP4 format, maybe we’ll all survive the load time.
