Elden Ring players are having a ton of fun with the character creation tool, including one creative fan who is designing characters from the British animated series Salad Fingers. Created by David Firth in 2004, Salad Fingers is the story of a thin, disturbed man (the titular Salad Fingers) that lives in a bleak, desolate world. Elden Ring's character creation is allowing players like this to create extraordinary copies of characters from other games, shows, and movies.
Like one player that created Mike from Breaking Bad in Elden Ring, fans of the game bring other things that they love into the game by creating different characters. The communities and fanbases of different genres and media come together in this way and are able to enjoy relating to each other in various ways.
Redditor Lady-Macdeath is bringing the world of Salad Fingers to Elden Ring by creating the characters of Salad Fingers himself, as well as Hubert Cumberdale. Most striking about both the Salad Fingers and Hubert Cumberdale characters is how closely the eyes resemble the original character art styles. Both of these characters have very Tim Burton-esque features and have a distinctly Halloween-style look about them, especially with the entirely white eyes. Luckily, Elden Ring's character creator is robust and allows for lots of customization in order to make the player's character look very similar to other things.
Lady-Macdeath is one of many creative players who have used Elden Ring's character creator to create various characters from different TV shows, movies, video games, and other media. Lady-Macdeath even makes the Salad Fingers characters' eyes and mouth look similar to the highly stylized art style from the original animated series. Salad Finger's eyes are buggy and bulging out of the character's face, and Lady-Macdeath mimics that look so well using Elden Ring's character creation tool.
Elden Ring players are having fun with the game's character creator, even creating YouTube personalities like Dr Disrespect in the game. It is a surreal experience seeing people from the real world roaming around the Lands Between, slaying monsters, riding Torrent, collecting Runes, and embarking on the quest for the Elden Ring.
Gamers like Lady-Macdeath use their creativity and a creation tool as detailed as that of the one in Elden Ring to bring different fan bases together. Otherwise, players of Elden Ring and fans of Salad Fingers may never have had a chance to exist in the same plane.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
