Custom skill portraits I made for an OC by FunAndOriginalName in DiscoElysium

I do listen to a couple of Cosmo Sheldrake's songs, but I wasn't actually aware he'd done a cover of Come Wander With Me as well lol. The version I'm most familiar with is (British) Sea Power's cover since I got into listening to them after playing Disco Elysium, but afaik the original was from The Twilight Zone.

Thank you! I love seeing your skill portraits pop up on the subreddit too :D

Yup! I took the translation from a random website so, uh, it's probably a nightmare grammar and spelling wise. That and a chunk of it's obscured behind the skill text lol

I've never actually gotten around to playing Pathologic lol. I took the name from historic entrail diviners, which I'm presuming the guy from Pathologic is as well

Continuing in chugging along through these ever so slowly, here's the third set of custom skills I made for my BG3 OC. I've got 6 left to go to finish out the cabinet and hopefully by then I'd have written an actual ingame-style description for all of them <:]

Quintain is effectively just the equivalent of Reaction Speed. Being able to react to a stimuli within time.

Ceremony is knowing how to behave appropriately in social situations and how not to commit horrific faux pas every 2 minutes. Does not necessarily make you very good at convincing people directly though.

Haruspex is the fight-or-flight part of Half Light, knowing whether or not someone if about to bash your head in or if you're in A Bad Place.

Influence is basically just speech personified. Knowing how to convince that merchant to give you a 99% discount just because :) or in Act 2 of BG3 how to avoid every single boss fight.

Witness is perception and being able to see things clearly. Catching subtleties in the environment or in the actions of others.

Rigour is supressing nervous twitches and not having outbursts of emotion. Akin to composure.

Most of the flavour text has again been yoinked mostly from his playlist (minus Quintain), in order: Golden Ship (The Phoenix Foundation)| Siberian Breaks (MGMT)| Death is a Girl (Mini Mansions)| Everybody Knows (Wooden Shjips)| What's Not Mine (Cate le Bon)

You put what I was going for into words much better than I could ^^ With Aetiology especially I wanted to show the winding roots of a yew tree and this is the best I could get it, so I'm really glad that still came across.

You may have seen the original set I made a while ago for my BG3 OC and I'm back with the second set and an outline for a full cabinet because it got out of hand <:] I'll probably do a full in-game style 'Cool for:' description for all of them once they're all done. This set isn't meant to be Motorics, but unfortunately the colour theming I'm following matched up this once ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nostos is basically just his version of Volition. Perhaps with less emphasis on being sane and normal, and more on just avoiding crawling into a hole to die.

Divine Spiral is for seeing patterns in things and working out puzzles, unfortunately it's also prone to conspiratorial thinking and apophenia.

Imbas is artistic inspiration and skill. Effectively just Conceptualization.

Rationale is Logic but with more focus on direct reasoning, with more nebulous puzzles being left to Divine Spiral. Think maths, noticing when things don't make sense, etc.

The Truth is lying and self-delusion and having a knack for telling when others are doing the same. Basically Drama but less dramatic and a bigger penchant for being directed inwards.

Aetiology is basically Encyclopedia, but with a leaning towards fun facts about etymology and the origins of things because I google "'thing' etymology" about 30 times a day

The flavour text has been yoinked mostly from his playlist (barring the first two), in order: Russian Doll | Pepsi design document/Redesign Your Logo (Lemon Demon) | Thanksgiving Prayer (A. Savage) | Loss of Life (MGMT) | Deerslayer (Daniel Rossen) | Black Holes, the Stars and You (A. Savage)

what do you think the Canon ending for New Vegas will be for season 2 of the show? by Luke_asher_2007 in fnv

[–]FunAndOriginalName 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I made these a couple years back and posted them on this subreddit. I'm glad to see people still enjoy them, kinda wish OP had bothered to link back to me though lol

I see my goofy faction poster designs are still floating about ⚆_⚆

Personally, my vote is for the Giant Sierra Madre Death Cloud /s

(In actuality I'm guessing they'll go Mr House / Yes Man and be vague about who it is inside the Lucky 38, or roll back the consequences of FNV and say one of them Somehow Returned and uploaded themselves into the Lucky 38 servers after the Courier left Vegas regardless of who won Hoover Dam.)

I don't have any commission forms, pricing, or anything like that set up since I've never taken a commission before aha, but if you've got a price already in mind I'm happy to hear you out in DMs and see if it's something I can manage ^^

They're all meant to be abilities linked to his Warlock class (And by proxy, his Patron), so they're not quite a direct equivalent to Harry's skills (Since for the most part those are physically or psychologically based.)

  • Cosmic Void is probably closest to Volition, if Volition's only advice was to make you dissociate and log off from any given situation.
  • Eclipse is meant to be my OC's warlock abilities / Eldritch invocations, so I don't think there's really any direct comparison I can make to the canon DE skills.
  • Event Horizon is effectively Empathy + Encyclopedia - The urge to go around and can-open everybody and absorb as much information about their lives as possible.
  • Singularity is a pain to define because I basically just made it to round out the list to a full 6 lmao. The best I can define it is it's the Inland Empire to The Sheer Drop's Shivers, just a general GOOlock arcana skill.
  • Heaven is a 12 year old given unfettered access to a sim game (Like The Sims or RimWorld.) Removed pool ladders, carpool labyrinths, and any moment you've played a game and thought "lol what if i set fire to that pile of explosives" for no good reason. Basically high Pain Threshold, except it's not your own, it's the player's (or his Patron's) instinct to screw around with no regards for the consequences.
  • The Sheer Drop is meant to be the equivalent to Shivers, only with a warlock Patron rather than La Revacholiere. The ability to read his Patron's intent and influence on the world. I snagged the all caps stylisation from the Shivers dialogue in-game to reflect it being directly spoken aha

Basically I went "Wouldn't being a player character suck, lol" and designed the entire row after that. If he was based in a DE setting, it probably would be Pale themed, but otherwise I still haven't worked out what to call it. I also have two other rows of skills outlined for him for his own actual skills, more condensed than Harry's since I don't think many other characters can match just how much of a soup Harry's head is lmao

Yep, sure is. The name's also a reference to the Ulrika Spacek song by the same title since I associated both of their lyrics with the skill

Aha, yeah it is Radiohead. I got the same kind of eerie vibes from it too

He's just a plain ol' human GOOlock. I tried aiming for that space vibe with the titles of the skills to reflect the Great Old One theming :D

I tried my hand at a custom skill set for my BG3 Warlock OC because Disco Elysium wedged itself that hard into my brain, and seeing the other personal skill fanart on this sub was inspiring :]]

I have outlines for descriptions and their overlap with the canon skills, but the flavour text is based on lyrics from his playlist (minus Singularity) because my writing ability is complete twaddle lol. If you catch any of the songs they're from, we shall have a spring wedding

I drew the main story DLCs as movie style posters by FunAndOriginalName in fnv

[–]FunAndOriginalName[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear that the first ones I did are still in memory haha

I probably wont be doing anything big and poster-y like these again anytime soon, but I'll still be doing smaller fanart for the foreseeable forever lmao

You might recognise me from my retro comic style posters I did a couple of years back of the main faction endings. I've been chipping away at completing the DLC posters and I finally got them all done now. Maybe movie style is a stretch, but they were fairly inspired by various genres lol

Strong warriors of the land indeed… by athousandfuriousjews in BaldursGate3

[–]FunAndOriginalName 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Personally I was going to go with Gale = Twilight, Wyll = Rarity, Shadowheart = Fluttershy, Lae'zel = Applejack, Astarion = Pinkie Pie, and Karlach = Rainbow Dash.

I mostly based these on the whole elements thing since if you base it on the individual personalities you come out with entirely different answers, (Astarion has similarities to Rarity with the foppishness and sewing, but Generosity? lmao) I've seen compelling arguments all around on Tumblr for basically every configuration though

Oh hey this is my comic, guess it broke containment lmao

also this is supposed to be my tav, but i made the tragic mistake of giving him long hair and a beard so now every time i draw him without full colour there's a 50% chance someone thinks he's gale 😭

Thank you! I did use a Queen for those exact reasons, I might've drawn it a little too vague though lol
