And now for something different.

Some time ago I was talking with *bakenekogirl and ~eccyghuy about one of the, in my opinion, best games ever, Planescape: Torment, and :deveccughuy: suggested I should do a fanart. I though it was a great idea, so I got to work.

One of the good things was that it takes me out of my comfort zone. Instead of pretty girls it's a weird muscular tattooed guy with that cannot die

You see, in this game you play as this dude, that wakes up in a mortuary without a single memory, not even his name. That is when a friendly floating skull tells you that you have a tattoo written in your back, that explains what you must do. Soon you will discover that you cannot die, that you have lived for quite a while, your name has been lost in history, which is why they call you The Nameless One, and you have done many different things in your previous incarnations. The objective is to discover the mystery of yourself. I have not spoiled anything that you do not discover in the first 10 minutes

The great thing about this game is that it's so unlike anything else, when it came out (1999) and still. It's an RPG, it uses the same engine as Baldur's Gate, and it plays like it, that is where the similarities end. It takes place in the Planescape campaign, those of you that are D&D gamers will know you can expect anything in there, floating skulls and immortal beings are almost unremarkable.

Another great thing is that this is as close as you can get to real role-playing in video games. In this game there is no wrong or right way to play. You can go around killing everyone that gets in your path, or you can try to avoid conflict, or something in between. Either way has advantages or disadvantages, but they will have real consequences, consequences that will accompany you until the end.

Anyway, enough talking, you should try this game. And look at that, you can get it now for $5 here [link] and you should be able to play it in any computer that has come out in the last decade.

Now, not everything of this game has aged well. The art design is fantastic, and the playing screen still looks fine, the only thing that shows its age is the prerendered characters. Which is why I took my liberties in this drawing. The hair in particular is a bit different, normally the dreadlocks are just on the front, the rest of the head the hair is short. I never really liked it, so I went with something that looks more like the cover of the game.
Also one of the omissions I see in most of the fanart is the tattoos, specially the one on the back. I must admit I'm not a fan of tattoos, but I felt I shouldn't omit them.
The game never shows the one on the back, but I couldn't ignore it (Correction: :deveccughuy: Brought to my attention the fact that you can see the tattoo on the cinematic at the end of the game, my bad ). Just don't try to decode what I did there, I just did random scribbles I though that was better than writing it in any language.
On the other hand the tattoos on the arms are inspired by some you can get in the game. You see, in this game you cannot get an armour (I told you it was different), instead you can get tattoos that will provide different forms of protection.

And that is that
