Now I'm confused. Where did this one come from?

Nazihk

IIRC, that's the guy from God of War.

That is Kratos, yes. 

Sartan very much resembles him. Exelethril was doing what I do in Discord a lot, and compare the two

Kriex

I always saw Kratos as more Aegis than Sartan. 

[Deleted User]

Aegis looks nothing like Kratos

Exelethril

Aegis = John Boyega? 

Achilles

Aegis head is too small, built like young Shaq.

Morthif

that sword is a terrible Warp Witch too

@Sartan's head is way too small, imo.

Ahem....since my first IC bardic composition would likely get me shrubbed and murdered...
I will instead do it on the forums:

Sartan: a song

Gosh, it disturbs me to see you Sartan

Looking so down in the dumps

All of Mhaldor would love to be you, Sartan!

Sacrifice ourselves one by one just for fun.

There's no man in town as admired as You

You're everyone's favorite God

Everyone's awed and inspired by you

And it's not very hard to see whyyyyyy

No one's slick as Sartan

No one's quick as Sartan

No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Sartan

For there's no man in town half as manly

Perfect, a pure paragon!

You can ask any Cooper, Aegoth, or Kiet

And they'll tell you whose team they'd prefer to be on

Who plays darts like Sartan?

Who breaks hearts like Sartan?

Who’s much more than the sum of his parts of Apollyon and Shaitan?

As a specimen, yes, He's Intimidating!

My, what a God, that Sartan!

Armali

A like for the line, No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Sartan

Wow! That Sartan picture is good enough to be on the side of a van! Could use more tigers though... 10/10

Astarod

That's so awesome. It'd be cool to have a page where all the immortals have their favorite picture that describes them, kind of like a yearbook. haha. Kind of like how all the cities are set up to give some kind of visual foundation to imagine some of these awesome situations we keep having.

This is the only God of War I acknowledge:

Xae

Augh, after looking at it 100 times, His body proportions and the perspective is driving me absolutely insane...

Draw him better!

Xae

@PuxiOh how I dream of being able to paint like that, but I can sure as hell fix the anatomy and perspective.

Minifie

The perspective looks fine, it’s from a servile member of his legion. He’s also not human, but a God, he isn’t going to have human anatomy.

just draw me like one of your french girls instead

Xae

this is what I see, @Minifie

Xae

Apologies, Lord @Sartan I'm such an art critic, being an artist

Torinn

Pfft he doesn't look that tough, he isn't made of fire or anything!

Mezghar

OUR DAD IS Better THAN YOUR DAD! This is what Torinn really means.

I'm not seeing any issues in your linked photos. Swoltan.

Just because he's a divine doesn't necessarily mean he wouldn't have human (or humanoid) anatomy and physique. Part of that being proportionate and realistic details. Take Phaestus' painting for example. Especially since the pantheon in Achaea is largely based off Greek/Roman mythology.

I actually prefer when a deity is  human in appearance and stature to actually closely resemble the average physique instead of having an 18 pack (that never really gets used anyway because they're a divine).

I think in the past they've done a good job of reflecting this, akin to how gods and goddesses are often portrayed in similar instances based off of ancient mythology with shows like Xena and Hercules (which I why I posted the pictures of Ares for reference). They're not the average humans, they're often much more beautiful and studly (such as the paintings of Phaestus and Scarlatti and Neraeos), but they're still largely relatable.

Unless it's something specifically like a Troll god or perhaps even in the case of Lupus, whom one expects to have a sort of half human/half beast like appearance, I think that's a fitting theme.

I don't see the issue with the proportions of the picture. The viewpoint is from foot level at the highest, the head is not a glance to the side but slightly over the shoulder that does involve a slight puff of the chest and you can see that they have tried to apply some (I don't know the right word so I'll say..) 'lensing' affect from the towers behind him.

It's like them instagram chicks yo. Angles and 'lensing' making that rack more impressive than it is.

#hashtagfake #allaboutthaangles #dontphotographmewithoutthosefiltersomg

Xae

The angle still doesn't play into the fact that his left arm is completely dislocated from his body lol

Tahquil

I'm not seeing that. I am seeing that his chest is round like a balloon instead of flat across the front.

Antonius

I'm with Xae on this. Either his left arm/shoulder is in the totally wrong position or that's some really oddly designed armour.

Well, that too. Chest muscles don't balloon out as a whole, they each have their own shape instead of just being an.. a balloon with muscles drawn on it
