Criticism is the practice of analyzing, classifying, interpreting, or evaluating literary or other artistic works.

When NWN2 was published, there was a work of fan art that introduced the possible NWN2 party members in a rather comical manner, I found it quite amusing. A short story told in short manner, couple of days ago I was standing "AFK" in the bazaar, observing my fellow players and their interactions, and I was reminded by this work of fan art.

Here are links to this piece of fan art:

I have no ill intend, but I would ask if you can spot your own characters and those of your fellow players in that image.

Qara is CLEARLY a wanna-be Ixia.
...Looks like Raif gets out of being Cas thanks to murder sprees. Which is good, because I didn't like that guy.

Not really fitting any of my characters... Maybe Neeshka for one, but... barely.

Except Ixia is cooler. And a little bit nicer.

Ixi also has a tendency to whine, so she's got a bit of Neeshka. =P

In the fan art picture, I myself paid more attention towards the things those characters actually said.

Thus, I'd say Shiv reminds me of Bishop.
And Gwyn is mix of Grobnar and Elenee. ( I've seen Gwyn say: Oh, I just got marvelous tune for this. :P)

Thats the funny thing with characters that are older then the refrence character that is well known.

Shiv is a much older character then Bishop. Shiv also has a charm to him that Bishop lacks badly. Shiv is the type of character that even if you are against him you cant wait to see what he does next. Bishop is the type of chracter that i just want to punch in the mouth to shut him up. LOL Mad Porps POV! I am a Shiv fan! hehe

I use to get a lot of comparisons with Valenfor to Voldemort from the Harry Potter books. Val is way older, and i modeled him after someone else.....

DUN DUN DUN!!!!!
