DrMcGillacactus Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I'm sure people have brought this up plenty of times before but... What's up with Wilson having beard hair arms? He is the only character who doesn't have arms that are the colour of their skin, so i want to know your theory's. Is he just simply wearing gloves? Is he tainted by the nightmare fluid? Has he covered his arms with his beard hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caochu Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I guess he is very hairy But looking at that Emoji, I guess it is more some kind of sleeves ? And the art being maybe not that consistent ? Wouldn't be surprised if it is more about aesthetics and then adapted regarding the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudoku Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Probably just the original Tim Burtonesque style they had early on where dark scribbles was kinda the style for small details like the arms. Most of the non dlc males have them like Maxwell and Wes. Wolfgang arms are too big for the scribble arms, and well Woodies sleeves are very long so his arms were probably made white for clarity reasons.

bruhmoment23 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Seems like an artstyle change as sudoku has pointed out. It's visible on some shorts animations too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minespatch Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I like to assume it's a undershirt(like the ones I wear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximum124 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Its inconsistent, so its up to you to decide! undershirt sleeves? rubber gloves? weird long fingerless armwarmers like scene and goth people wear? The possibilities are endless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primalflower Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 i just imagine its science gloves ... but the picture from the OG return of them trailer complicate things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minespatch Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Also, apparently his guest of honor gloves description implies he had acid burn scars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhuzha Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Some more Wilson variations for you to consider: 1) Here's him with bare white arms in some sort of DST concept art. And once again, in an old DS poster in Disney style (by Jeff Agala). 2) But, here's also him with white arms and black hands (possibly, short gloves) in a drawing made for an old Chester plush Kickstarter campaign. And now him with bare arms and definitely wearing short black gloves in Shank-style DS poster (again, by Jeff Agala). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gi-Go Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Wes also has black arms. The only exception is his survival skin which turns his hands normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a bin of cake Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Making it all a spoiler bc this post is rlly long, full of pictures. Spoiler Forbidden Knowledge Seems to change partway in Forbidden Knowledge? Then changes again? The End of the Beginning Normal arms. Don't Starve: Underground Black arms. Don't Starve: It's Not a Rock! First time with black hands. Don't Starve: Hungry for your Hunger Back to his white hands and black arms. Then changes every time he flails across the screen at the end. Don't Starve: The Stuff of Nightmares Back to them loooong black gloves... at least this one's consistent. Don't Starve: A Moderately Friendly Update Seem to be sticking with black hands/arms. Don't Starve: Six Feet Under I mean, here we get a close up of Wilson's in-game sprite (or at least, looks very close to his sprite animation), and it looks like his arms/hands are just black. Don't Starve: Reign of Giants Expansion Release Trailer Don't Starve: Shipwrecked Announcement Don't Starve Shipwrecked Early-Access Launch Trailer Black hands? Nope, I guess not-- Sike, arms are normal for 3 frames Also let's appreciate this facial expression while we're here. White arms/hands again. Black arms. Don't Starve: Shipwrecked Expansion Launch Trailer Consistent, wowie. Don't Starve Together Launch Trailer Don't Starve Together: A New Reign Cinematic Alright, so black arms, normal hands... and it actually stays that way for the whole cinematic. Don't Starve Together: A New Reign Part 1 Don't Starve Together A New Reign Trailer Don't Starve Hamlet Announcement Trailer Uhh... black hands? white hands? gray hands--? Don't Starve Together Event | The Forge Don't Starve Together Event | The Gorge Wilson's wearing his Victorian skin during this entire animation, can't include it :,). Don't Starve Hamlet | E3 2018 Gameplay Trailer I actually didn't know this video existed until now. Consistently black arms & hands. Don't Starve Together RoT Turn of Tides Trailer After this one part, his arms are consistently the same in this trailer. I absolutely love this animation btw Don't Starve Together RoT Salty Dog Trailer Ok so, from this point on, it seems that in the rest of the animations, Wilson's arms/hands are black, so I guess he's just wearing suuper long gloves or something? Maybe Klei finally decided on a design? LOL, watch me say that and then in the next video they just return to the bare hands or something. Don't Starve Together RoT: Hook, Line, & Inker Don't Starve Together RoT She Sells Sea Shells Don't Starve RoT Troubled Waters Don't Starve RoT Forgotten Knowledge Don't Starve Together Reap What You Sow Tally for no reason: Black arms/hands: 18 Black arms, white hands: 13 White arms/hands: 8 Yeaaah, pretty sure he's just wearing long gloves or something, and Klei has finally decided that.... or not, idk. It was fun watching a bunch of Klei's animations from the very beginning to the present though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellHeater Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 lets be honest here all of us want that wilsons arms were burned/melted/charlied/nightmare fueled because that would be a good lore hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articestone Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I like to think that it is just a skin allergy that Wilson have that was elavated by the nightmare fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rylanor Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Im imagining Maxwell or any other survivor noticing Wilson weird hands and be like: -"Why are your hands looks like that?" *pointing at his pitch black claws* -"Like what?" *looking at his hands, pale white and even without undershirt* -"...Forget about it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dextops Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 wilson is imposter. he has one trait that gives him away,his claws. sometimes he can change it and blend in with the other survivors but deep in hes a cold heartless demon waiting to strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
