Beszeljunk a fontos dolgokrol.

I’ve had this in my drafts for far too long. Just a simple couple icon-ish picture of my Hero of Neverwinter with her warlock boyfriend, Makos.

Let’s hope they get around to adding Artemis eventually!

[[ I have mixed feelings about this. xD Yes, I’d absolutely love for Artemis to make it into the game, if they implement him well. It would be especially cool if, as per the suggestion of another player during one of Idle Champion’s streams, Artemis and Jarlaxle buffed each other from both being in the formation at the same time, like what’s been done with Drizzt and the Companions of the Hall. Although, more likely would be that Jarlaxle would be buffed by members of Bregan D’aerthe being in the formation at the same time, but hey, one could hope that there’s some in-game mechanic that offers synergy between Artemis and Jarlaxle. XD

The thing I’m worried about of course is that they’d get Artemis all wrong and make him look like a white person, which is how he appears in far too much fanart and pretty much all non-Lockwood official art. I’ve been pretty pleased with what Codename Entertainment has done with racial representation (fantastical and human ethnicities) in the game so far, but it’s hard to get a feel for how thoroughly they know their source material. For instance, the two dark-skinned human champions so far, Hitch and Nayeli, hail from Durpar and Daggerford respectively, although Nayeli mentions living in Calimshan in one of the campaigns. I couldn’t find any information about Nayeli’s specific birthplace and I don’t know if it’s ever discussed in the Force Grey podcasts since I don’t listen to them, but it’s conceivable that she’s a Calishite native who found her way up the Sword Coast to Daggerford where she served her role at Duke Maldwyn ‘s side. In any case, Nayeli’s skin and hair color are spot-on for one of Calishite ethnicity, and while I could accept something a bit lighter in skin tone as also Calishite, from Nayeli’s appearance it’s clear that she’s a brown person and not a white one, which should be true of Artemis as well. ]]

((It was probably inevitable, and it'll be nice to have a different option for that slot. Granted, I've never used the character already in that slot...))

[[ I agree that it was inevitable, I was actually really surprised at launch that the nod to the Drizzt books that Idle Champions included was Jarlaxle and not Drizzt. XD I haven’t done any number-crunching myself, but the consensus thus far out there seems to be that, barring special weekend buffs and other conditions, that Makos far outstrips Drizzt in strength, because of Makos’ Dark Blessing ability. This will likely change as more Companions of the Hall are released and of course is also dependent on those hypothetical champions’ strengths. If they’ve got an awesome buff like Bruenor has, the game might very well become Idle Champions of The Legend of Drizzt. ;P 

As it stands currently however, Drizzt is a pure DPSer while Makos is a buffer, and like pretty much all pure DPSers so far, they fall really short in utility compared to buffers. I haven’t gotten Drizzt yet so I don’t speak from personal experience, but from what I’ve read, Drizzt is indeed pretty lackluster at this point in the game, although his ultimate in which Guenhywvar mirrors each of his attacks is pretty overpowered. 

I totally recommend that you give Makos a try though! He doesn’t fit into all formations and I personally go with Tyril over him when I can only have one or the other. But still, in formations where both Makos and Tyril can fit, along with the “core” buffers like Nayeli, Bruenor, Celeste, Asharra and Calliope, Makos’ utility is pretty awesome! :D ]]

When Tom Savini did Andy Warhol‘s makeup!

In 1985, legendary makeup artist Tom Savini was contacted to create a zombie makeup for Andy Warhol, which was photographed by Chris Makos and later appeared in one of Makos’ books on Warhol. At this point in time Actor/SFX wizard/stuntman/director Savini had worked on a number of films including Dawn of the Dead, Friday the 13th, Creepshow and Day of the Dead, which prompted Warhol to contact…
