I love the character of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3. He's truly the character ever because he's every single vampire trope at once but they all cancel each other out.

Like, he only drinks animal blood but not because he doesn't want to hurt people, he's just never been allowed before. He hurts people all the time, it's one of his favorite things to do. He acts drunk after drinking a bear's blood because it kicked the shit out of him first. He's 200+ years old and still lvl 1. He's foppish and high class but has been eating rats and bugs in a crypt for 200 years. He can go out in sunlight and gets sad if he's underground because he misses the sun. He lies all the time but he's a terrible liar so it's always super obvious. He's brooding but also whiny. He has no reflection but mostly is just sad about it because he misses petty vanity. He's suave but his sense of humor is essentially "man slips on banana peel" and he'd lose his mind laughing at basically any Money Python Sketch. He's so extremely, powerfully bisexual.

I'm deeply in love with him.

I - Inventor - How creative is their thinking? Do they seek out the opinions of others or rely on their own ideas? What’s their problem solving approach?

Sena is creative in specific ways, but I don't think he's creative in general - he might think outside the box during a fight as a survival / practical thing, but wouldn't have the patience for an art project or an elaborate strategy.

For the opinions of others, he actually puts a lot of stock into the opinions of the handful of people he trusts; in a lot of ways he sees himself as existing in relation to them, rather than by himself, and that extends to his antagonist arc where he's alone, lost, and lashing out. But he won't listen to like, strangers' advice without someone he trusts vouching for that stranger.

Problem-solving for him falls into either pragmatism (though not utilitarianism since he really only cares about his friends) or "I can fight it", to varying results. He's actually pretty observant and is quick to notice when things are off - though he could probably point them out a bit more tactfully.

As a bonus, since he curses a lot - most of his more creative curses are stolen from characters like SIdurgu or Estinien, because he has trouble coming up with his own.

@khepri-sunscale and I wanted to get started on Au Ra August early and put together a prompt list just in case! Feel free to use if you feel inspired!

i feel like my existential crisis in the tags is adding a lot to the effect there

I’ve asked a few other places already and mentioned it in Twitter circles, but I figure asking here as well can’t hurt - I’ve been pretty much just studying faces for two months and it’s not going great!

I suspect that it’s an issue with vision / “perceiving” the 3D forms, rather than a lack of technical knowledge, but does anyone have ideas for what to do while I wait for the optometrist to call me back?

I did go back to doing very basic fundamentals / 3D shapes, but it didn’t really help. Google is only giving me “how to draw the other eye” tutorials, articles about Rembrandt, and aphantasia resources (none of which are it).
