NPC skins

I don’t know if anyone is interested but over on Moddb I found
some redesigned NPC skins.

But god knows what Claudia will say when she sees Strauss’s make over.

All I can say is: the bad quality of the screen-shots is matched by the bad quality of the actual skins.
Especially the beards on the male skins look just like they are painted on by 6 year olds, who play at pirates for carnival...

I must say I agree with that.

I like GothicSeraphim's work shown on there much better.

Yep, he is really good, though I must admit, it's not my style.

*headshot* I will pretend I never saw that

Serpah does a good work. Lenushka (however it's spelled ><) does an amazing one, but she's russian-speaking and is kind of just for Antitribu. Those guys don't wanna share ><

........

I think I prefer him without the new extras.

No, I like the old ones better.

There's no way in the world Max would have let anyone take a sharpie marker to his head like that. It's a wee bit unrealistic. LMAO

Seems like the only thought process behind those, would be...

Male character=Facial hair.

Aside from Strauss that is. Which as said, doesn't fit at all. Plus they weren't even done right, meaning it looks more like they were...*snort* drawn on, rather than actually tattooed. Plus, I don't know when Strauss was embraced, but no matter when it was, he doesn't seem like the type to have any tattoos, or at least, none that would be THAT obvious.

The lily reskin is okay, but I hate that some people disregard the whole DEAD aspect of kindred when they chose to do this. Sure, nothing says they have to be pale as sheet, but still.

Do the Tremere use tattoos in their blood magic?

Depends on their teacher and their comprehension of magic and thaumaturgy. Like mages and their approach to hermetic magic, somehow (see mage the ascension)

I would say tattoos and body crafts in general (sigils of spirits engrawed on own ribs in all Ways, flutes made of owners' bone in Ways of Wind, etc) are more in use in Koldunic Sorcery...
Maybe even moreso in Dur-An-Ki, though I am less familiar with that tradition.

BTW, does anyone know a book with in-depth description of Koldunism? It's ways are usually referenced to Thaumaturgy Paths. Rest is mostly Fanon.
