But comparing it to the model in Village fans tinkered with, the original artist got it pretty close. People had jokes about Ethan’s relatively generic appearance, some of which were pretty good.
This is what Ethan winters looks like ? /LjiCydwLUa And over the weekend since Village’s launch, one mockup went viral over social media as it was passed around as an “official” render by Capcom. In the years since, artists started making mockups of what they thought Ethan looked like outside of Resident Evil 7 and Village’s first-person perspectives. Through things like camera hacks in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, fans have been able to see glimpses of what the character looks like, and recently, fans modded Resident Evil Village’s model viewer to remove shadows meant to obscure his face and give the man an actual face reveal. Even in promotional art, Ethan’s face is often covered in shadow.
Capcom has never officially shown the man’s mug. Unlike series’ mainstays Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, Ethan has starred in two Resident Evil games and we’ve never seen his face. With Resident Evil Village out, protagonist Ethan Winters is on a lot of people’s minds.
