Elden Ringplayers can’t help but usetheir real-world artistic skills to recreate Alexander. Blake of the YouTube channel Love, Death, & Dice is no different. He’s such a fan of Iron First Alexander that he used his incredible talent that he deiced to make a diorama that captures all the sadness and whimsy of the beloved character. Blake, the owner of Love, Death, & Dice, shares videos of his tabletop gaming miniature paint jobs, along with some of his diorama work.
While the lore behind the Living Jars is a little murky, as lore usually is in FromSoft games, there is one thing that is known about them:Elden Ring’sLiving Jars are fueled by corpses that have been stuffed inside of them. After aiding the player character defeat Starscourge Radahn, Alexander can be found scooping the bodies of the dead into himself in the hope that filling himself with the corpses of dead warriors will set him on the path to becoming a great warrior. Love, Death, & Dice captures this moment in an imagined scene wherein Alexander is clambering through a graveyard toward a plot to feast upon its contents.
Blake used a 3D printed model of Iron Fist Alexander as the centerpiece of the diorama, along with 3D prints of various pieces like a stone wall, a headstone statue of an undead skeletal warrior, and, of course, the casket itself. Blake did such a fantastic job with the build and paint job that the final piece ends up looking like it was ripped straight out of the game. Of the several NPCs encountered throughoutElden Ring, Alexander’s determination to become a warrior despite his physical fragility has endeared the character to so manyplayers who try to honor Iron Fist Alexander in any way they can.
