So I commissioned this gorgeous piece or Erellindra from @catalystcrisis, they just finish her this weekend and I CANNOT get over how amazing everything turned out!! I have to make a separate post to point out some of the details that I'm obsessed with because OH MY GOD. I just can't stop looking at her.
Thank you again Crit for such a beautiful piece and being an awesome friend!!
Ahh I'm so glad you like it frendo 💖 Did my best to do your babe justice! I loved painting in the fantasy genre again, especially since BG3 is such a captivating game. Loved that you had all the refs and lore too! Ty for trusting me with your girl 💖
Sera and Varric were conveniently out of Skyhold when this edition was published lol.
