Its Not Gory Or Anything - Tumblr Posts

Honestly, I think scars and prosthetics should be more common traits in character designs, especially in fantasy settings. Along with tying into a character’s backstory, they also provide new opportunities for different design traits. Over on my side blog I recently wrote a bit about magic (mostly in the Elder Scrolls series, but it counts) and about a third of it was focused on magically caused scars and prosthetics. I hate the Star Wars series for a long list of reasons, but I really enjoy its attitude towards prosthetics, and how casually they’re treated.

The Sketch

Image ID under the cut.

[Image Description: A half elf is shown from the shoulders up, with dark skin, and dark red hair. Her shoulders and cheeks are covered in pink, red, and grey freckles. Her lips are also red, and she is smiling. She is wearing large gold earrings. One of her eyes is a bright green, but the other is duller, and surrounded by electrical scars that spread across one side of her face and down her neck. End ID]
