Was thinking about how Azune typically seems older than Julien even in that most recent conversation, and how it's partially due to the beard, so did a quick paintover to see how he might look without it—

—in comparison to Julien (27-29) and Wick (29), both of whom are only a couple of years older than Azune (27-28) at most according to current information

#azune nayar#sir julien davinos#wicander halovar#julien davinos#IMO he very much looks his age beardless lol#critical role#c4#criticalrole#cr4#a full beard can make someone look much older than they are depending on the styling (typically the bushier the more it ages them)-#- and in Azune's case you can tell how young he is even with the beard as he does look at most in his 30s with it#but if you take it off he looks undeniably as young as Julien and Wick - AND more worn than Wick but less so than Julien#which tracks with their experiences for the most part#also these arts are even more gorgeous up close oh my god absolutely jaw dropping work by _Solelle/Loren Hontanilla#THE TEXTURES HRRHGHGHR#Even the way their skin is painted tells stories about their backgrounds#Wick's skin is much smoother than Julien's which is visibly rougher BUT Azune's is more similar to Wick's aside from the scar#It seems like Azune had to try and fit in with the mercenaries he was raised by and the allies he had during the war#which probably forced him to mature real fast to survive#whereas Julien was likely trained FROM BIRTH to fight given he's a sworn protector to House Royce in a way that seems conditioned#and Wick. Well. Good luck buddy#No he has seemingly been pampered his entire life#like if you took a quick glance at say Azune and Kattigan standing next to each other you might estimate they're roughly the same age#when in fact Kattigan is 15 years older#Add Occtis and you got a quad of traumatised adults with similar but very different bad experiences in their upbringings#though Azune is the outlier as he appears to not be from nobility or at least not a house thus far of note enough to have come up#olessan oration
