putting characters through the meat grinder (giving Voss a phobia of vanilla and garlic)

#i guess most gith of his generation would hate that scent #but somehow i can picture orpheus eating vanilla ice cream #it's about time that i actually paint a ghaik #but there are sooo many unfinished sketches in the pipeline before that #kith'rak voss #age 17 or something like that #githyanki #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #painting #gith #dungeons and dragons

head canon: Orpheus gives great massages. He'll also (almost) break your spine while doing so, but everybody is gith, so they're fine with that

#this started as a study of gith spines but escalated #i just think they're neat #I can't really capture their skin texture from the game but I'm trying #they deserve their ugly toad skin #kith'rak voss #prince orpheus #gods why did they call him orpheus #I'll never get over that name #athiis #painting #githyanki #gith #dungeons and dragons #baldur's gate 3 #bg3

Headcanon that Voss likes children. Reason: Lae'zel is incredibly baby compared to him, and he still treats her with respect.

(He's not their parent, they just decided to adopt him.)

#i just like small toads #and drawing voss' annoyed face as it seems #i tried to draw him smiling once and it still haunts me to this day #byek was supposed to hold the thread spool but he's no help at all #zareth never intended to help she's just here for her amusement #and to protect voss of hungry illithids #and to force voss to fix her favorite pants so she doesn't have to do it herself #kith'rak voss #githyanki #gith #dnd #oc: Zareth #oc: Byek #painting #baldur's gate 3 #in this colony the illithids separate slave children from their parents as early as possible #so it's mostly older youths taking care of younger ones #voss himself is only about 18 here

"Shka'keth." "K'chakhi."

--- every conversation between Voss and Zathur

#it's important to note that Zathur is the shka'keth and Voss the k'chakhi #most their disagreements are about wearing pants #but Voss hates everything else about him too #kith'rak voss #(baby)#oc: Zathur #githyanki #dungeons and dragons #the image wasn't supposed to be that big I just liked how Zathur's lizard feet turned out #I prefer my gith as lizard toads #painting

Better hold on tight.

#don't tell me gith parents would let some baby stop them from fighting #though parental leave probably isn't an option as illithid slave anyway #kith'rak voss #you can recognize him by his hair #zran #githyanki #gith #dungeons and dragons

there isn't enough appreciation for my girl (Great Mother Gith, the Liberator, Queen of the One Sky, genocidal rebel leader, nr 1 illithid hater)

#my favorite space toad #she is so problematic #containing an idea for the background of orpheus' tattoos #or at least part of it #also containing me being unable to render illithid silver blood #tw blood #I guess?#she is such an interesting character and nobody ever does anything with her in D&D #fun headcanon: every piece of jewelry is inscribed with the name of a murdered slave #painting #art #gith #mother gith #githyanki #dungeons and dragons #d&d

he's such a princess

#an astral plane princess #and from the front he's a bearded angry old man space toad monk #i cannot describe how the design of his dress amuses me #though it seems to be normal for high ranking githzerai #toad monks love their shiny earrings and veils.......#a shame the bg3 devs never bothered to fix his outfit #his cloak is done soooo lazily #baldur's gate 3 #orpheus bg3 #prince orpheus #gith #githyanki #painting

I have only 1 thing to offer and that's githyanki memes

#also githyanki sketches but i never finish those #i just think it's hilarious how tall orpheus is #won't keep grandpa voss from carrying him everywhere though I'm sure of it #meme #kith'rak voss #orpheus bg3 #githyanki #gith #baldur's gate 3

nautoloid cleaning duty

#i feel like too many of my drawings are too strange without context #sadly it's about 30000 words of context #gith #githyanki #painting #zyl #he is an idiot and i love him #least motivated slave the illithids have ever seen #though his color scheme turned out way prettier than expected #gith oc

average githyanki workday

#tried another style of painting #then i got confused and stopped #dragon #qudenos #kith'rak voss #gith #i need these tags for my own archive even if i'm the only one who spots a dragon here #painting #baldur's gate 3

POV: you disappointed the Prince of the Comet

#he is upset but he might forgive you if you apologize #i still have no idea how children's anatomy works but oh well #something something comfort zone #orpheus bg3 #gith #githyanki #baldur's gate 3 #painting

it's a baby murder toad

#gith children are my weakness #githyanki #proto-gith rather but close enough #kith'rak voss #a very short kith'rak #gith #baldur's gate 3 #painting

githyanki knights out there living every girl's dream: dragons. swords. eternal life.

#so relatable #i'd also sell my soul to an evil lich queen for that #and i'll never get over qudenos being the sweetest ancient red dragon grandpa #larian read 'red dragons are evil' and said ok we'll ignore that #they have been producing dragon video games for so many years and i appreciate it #qudenos #kith'rak voss #red dragon #githyanki #baldur's gate 3 #painting #gith

The histories tell us that Commander Voss, Jhe'stil Kith'rak, pierced Prince Orpheus clean through with his sword of silver. That his flesh was torn and fed to the great red dragon Ephelomon.

i am sorry to say i laughed in voss' face when he said that

#very niche joke i know #nothing better for backstabbing than the closest sword #larian will never tell us what happened #but save to say voss earned vlaakith's favor somehow #fortunately orpheus is absolutely chill about it #prince orpheus #kith'rak voss #baldur's gate 3 #meme #githyanki #bg3 #so much juicy drama in these two's past

angry space toad grandpa lost an ear

#smearing blood all over his ridiculous hair and circlet #larian cut all his datamined action scenes and now his ear is gone and it's never addressed #at least they also cut all of qudenos' corruption arcs #now they both sit in the sewers all day expecting some 20 year old they just met to solve all their problems #and yes my 12 years of seeing gw2 loading screens shows #kith'rak voss #githyanki #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #painting #the resolution of this was high so let's see how bad tumblr's compression is

please consider: orpheus and voss growing up as slave children together

#though they are already juvenile here #i have too much fun painting gith skin and patterns #prince orpheus #kith'rak voss #feels strange to tag them like this when no one will recognize them #baldur's gate 3 #painting #bg3

this has been going on for 10,000 years

#i love them #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 meme #princ orpheus #orpheus bg3 #kith'rak voss #meme
