Howdy and Hello Friends!
I don't know if anyone really follows these but I thought I'd toss a little blurb out there for those who might have noticed something different about Aoren. Yes, he has a new character model.
I didn't come to this decision lightly but I feel that I made a good one. As I have grown to understand Aoren as a character I feel that the model I used prior to the one I am using now didn't adequately reflect the spirit of who Aoren is. His previous model was a very serious, intimidating looking man and that is not who I see in my head when I picture Aoren. If I had to describe who Aoren is at his core he is that big brother, guardian/protector who looks out for those who are close to him. He holds within him a spirit of adventure and the capacity to love generously.
I didn't see that when I looked at his previous model. As I am a very visual person this didn't sit right with me and it translated over to how I wrote Aoren in my threads. So, I feel my writing became somewhat stagnate. So I searched for a model who adequately portrayed the person I saw in my head and found him.
Thank you to Fallon for this wonderful new template! Thank you to Gale for touching up the avatar pics to add his Gnosis! And thank you to Edreina for the work you're doing behind the scenes!
