Why is there no Vargram fanart or anything for him at all?! D:
Oh deeeear.....
This specific issue is the absolutely awful dumb thing that rotted the whole artistic side of the fandom. Fromsoft, the absolute buffons, the complete and utter FOOLS, decided that it was a wonderful idea to straight up erase a character with established lore (!), and outfit unique to him (!!!), so they can instead use his drip under guise of 'John Eldenring'.
Do you even realise? Can you even begin to comprehend my pain? When 90% of the shitposts and fanarts featuring "default Tarnished" instead draw VARGRAM and not even care? Yes, I get that, he is somewhat easy to miss because he is encountered through following the Volcano Manor quest, and Fromsoft shoves him on every promo and all. But like, how does no one still have the sense of wonder to read the description of so-called "default Tarnished" and see that it is NOT their!!! AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, as for the ACTUAL default Tarnished wear, a much better choice is the Knight Set, also known as Tutorial Set!
It is not worn by any NPC in the game, it is not attached to any pre-existing character, it is sold by Twin Maiden husks in the Roundtable Hold and it is the set that appears on the tutorial windows! If you own digital artbook for SoTE, you can also confirm this is the set used for the player there!
And yet, Fromsoft chose to ensure erasure of pre-established character in the fanarts. I'd say 49% of the fans don't even know Vargram exists, other 49% decide that erasing a minor NPC is not a big deal for more "aesthetically pleasing" default Tarnished, and the remaining 2% are me, you, Fantomette and Val. xD
