It feels so good to pick up my ipad again after a bloody busy year! I hope everyone has been going okay.
I want to share my latest artwork of the character Astarion from the video game āBaldur's Gate 3ā - he really struck a chord with me.
As someone still working through my own Complex-PTSD, I saw a lot of myself in Astarionās struggles. The cycles of abuse and survival instincts Astarion deals with hit close to home. The voice actor for Astarion, Neil Newbon, brought his character to life in such a sassy, but also raw, emotional way, in particular this scene Iām sure many players know of, where his expression and emotional release were incredibly powerful and beautifully done.
Larian did such an amazing job addressing and displaying mental health issues. You can really see their care and attention to detail in all aspects of the game. The way they handled these topics made me appreciate their work even more, and cannot wait what is next to come for them!
Have you played BG3, or do you intend to? Id love to know your memorable or funny moments!
Also should I make this available as a print? ā„ļø
