Sketches and Studies - Wesker Face & Body (pre-remake)

since I worked on Zeno, here's a version for Wesker.

he is a little more complicated because the models back then weren't as realistic as models right now: some things, you have to fill-in the gaps with your own knowledge.

regarding his face, Wesker has a much sharper look, with lots of triangles and squares, and thin features (which bring out more of his sharpness).

regarding his body, it's complicated, like I've said before. due to limitations at the time, characters were naturally blocky and stiff - so my analysis was more on a sense of identifying his key features between models and making a list of what to have in mind to have a likeness of him.

turns out, the most distinct points are his very, very broad shoulders and inverted triangle shape; and long, lean legs, with calves being the same width as his thighs. even if he is very strong, he is most importantly lean (not bulky like Chris or Leon); and features like thinner wrists, ankles and waist accentuate that tall and lean figure. put it together with the broad shoulders, he looks quite imposing, powerful and agile (let's not forget, the man is the size of a lamp post)

in an untranslated book there’s something about how wesker was displeased that jill lost her personality while being under the p30. i think at his core he’s a very lonely person. and no matter how much he tries to “evolve” from humanity he is still a human, therefore he feels human emotions despite trying to push them away.

like he was upset that she lost her personality because at his core he just wanted someone to understand him. not as a mindless slave but as someone who used to respect him and work with him. and ngl the fact jill literally looks like his sister in re5 makes me feel that even more. like in a metaphorical sense he wanted someone to be like him. if that makes sense.

i think a big part of why he captured jill was to get back at chris (because tbh everything he does is against chris 😭 😭), but also to get back at jill herself. i think he resented the fact that chris and jill were “free” compared to him even if he didn’t realize that’s what he was feeling. he wanted to force jill into doing his bidding as some sort of petty revenge because he hates the fact that he can’t be as free as she was. idk if any of this makes sense but it’s always been how i view his character. 😁

Vampire Claire… my neck is yours…

That one official art with Claire bloody got me thinking + extra hehe

You're the only cop left alive in a city full of zombies and a kindergarten teacher shows up with only two of her kids because the others mutated and killed each other, wyd.

Her name is Rosalie Mendez, a Spanish-American Raccoon City resident that barely survives the Incident and goes on to meet Leon several more times as a USSTRATCOM agent.

In other words:
