📋 About This Mod
This mod overrides Astarion’s default textures to give him a leaner physique more befitting a dex-focussed rogue type.
I took inspiration from professional ballet dancers and David the Arrow Bard to create a look that’s still very toned, but less body-builderesque. Appearance wise, it’s a middle ground between his vanilla textures and the multiple excellent mods that de-abs him entirely. I also edited his pecs to make them appear slightly smaller. The overall effect is to make his torso look narrower and more flat, but still with a lot of visible muscle tone.
I’m partial to both no-abs and lean and wiry headcanons for his appearance, so I’m not here to debate which is more appropriate - I made these texture edits for VP purposes and am sharing them to provide another option, because options are fun!
Installation
Recommended install with BG3MM. This mod should be safe to install and uninstall at any point.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with other mods that edit his appearance, provided they still use his default body textures.
