[cue a poorly sung bard-core Lady Marmalade]
Nothing yanks you out of an artblock/hiatus like a summer exchange, and I had a blast drawing Asmodea for the talented (and hysterically funny) @vixstarria. For more chaos and shenanigans, seriously go check out her written stuff.
Also I'm sorry it took this long to get posted here, I actually forgot about my tumblr until you mentioned it lmao.
im looking to follow some more bg3-heavy blogs to juice up my dash! (*￣3￣)╭
pretty please like/reblog this post if you make original content for the game or reblog a lot of things relating to it so i can check out your blog! nsfw content is more than welcome (dare i say encouraged, lol)
Reblog if your blog is boopable-safe so you can get all the (probably new) achievements. I don’t care about notes I just want boops
Karlach rolled a Critical Hit.
Otherwise known as that one time Zhana lost all feeling in her face, her pride and her consciousness in one-well executed clothesline. It's sitting up there with the time Wyll eldritch blasted her into the river over a spar/debate on "fighting honourably" (comic coming eventually).
I know technically at this point Karlach wouldn't have had her second upgrade but idc, I'm doing it for the funsies (and more excuses to let her have more party interactions).
Also bonus doodle. Not pictured: Karlach booking it for Shadowheart.
This wasn’t the autumn stroll Astarion expected, but there wasn’t a chance in the hells that Tali wasn’t going to make the most out of it. Even if it was at the expense of their new wardrobe.
A gift to the super talented and super sweet @snowfolly in part of an autumn exchange. It was an absolute (but also nerve wracking) delight to draw your absolute chaos gremlin bard, Tali. Go check out more of her amazing art and writing!
Eh, time to shake the dust off this blog, it’s been a long time and I miss drawing stuff.

Some WIPs, been working on differentiating how'd Zhana look like through the progression of the game.
Act 1: Still around the early sections of the game, and retaining the hair style she had around pre-game before using the one she's been generally drawn with (one of the defaults in the actual game).
Act 2: Technically this was the look she's taken on for the majority of the time (and I've gotten very attached to it). This is also more indulging my itch for whump related stuff because I've had thoughts on planning out how she and Astarion were to deal with the fallout of his confession while recovering from almost dying (or actually dying idk) during the Myrkul fight (which was partially self-inflicted via her substance abuse). Maybe I'll do a short comic or something on it.
Act 3: The look's prooobably more set during the post-game than the actual act because there's still a lot of things happening in between personal quests and the whole brain situation that she needs to work on. Also why are the supposedly nice clothing in this act so blergh? Aside from this and the backless one, they don't seem to flatter for female characters much.
And now to figure out the armour/weapon loadout.
✨🌈SEND THIS TO OTHER BLOGGERS YOU THINK ARE WONDERFUL. KEEP THE GAME GOING🌈✨
NO U
(but thank you, you're a darling)
"Well... shit."
Okay, hear me out, the bite night scene but make it more comedic/slapstick.
Although 'canonically', he still got elbowed in the face because he didn't expect "the quiet ranger" to be a paranoid, twitchy sleeper. It was only marginally better than the time she headbutted him when they first met at knife point.
But they definitely got along much better later on (and I've just hilariously realized how similar the composition is lmao).
Did some reverse image searching and found the original: was based off this pic I saw floating around the internet years ago
"Anyway, here's The Wondered Walls."
Took me almost hysterically too long cause work and life legit bowled me over, BUT it's here! And I'll hopefully get to drawing again, cause the itch is real.
A little thank you gift/token to the darling @confused-butter-toast and their OC/Tav Dratnarif, who in their words "is a flamboyant bard with trauma and a red lute". It was a fun character to draw and a great exercise to work on my absolutely non-existent fashion sense lmao. I also legit appreciate the number of times for the feedback (that was essentially me like some bizarre stray cat dropping WIPS and disappearing into the void).
When your animal handling needs more work, and some people are quick to remind you of that.
A companion piece to this doodle, that also somehow also evolved to have a little comic strip of its own. Also consider this as a warm up to drawing them in stuff OTHER than camp clothes.
Also watch me update/refine Zhana's appearance/backstory as I blunder along...after forgetting some details from the earlier stuff. Character consistency? What's that?
"If dangerous, then why friend-shaped?" - Tav probably.
This also marked the point where she was officially included in the sort-of-prestigious "over 10 STR club" in camp. Least the bow's done something for the upper body strength.
EDIT: there’s now a follow-up comic
For the ask meme - 9, 21, 48, and 53!
Thanks! Will tell you upfront, this definitely had me checking/comparing whatever notes I got lol
9) Does your Tav have a different class/race/origin than in the game?
Zhana's basically out of the stock/default options (especially considering this is my first foray into anything DnD related), so she's just your average half wood-elf. Although there's a lot of multiclassing involved which actually started as indecisiveness (and my unhealthy attachment to the Skyrim stealth-archer days) and it kinda grew into becoming part of her backstory. So her main combination is a Ranger-Rogue as she grew up training as a fletcher-turned-ranger but became a rogue with the jobs she picked up.
21) Which companion do you get first? If you get Shadowheart first no matter what, who's the second one?
She did find Shadowheart first lmao. Astarion was (unfortunately) second in what was a very messy introduction. But it eventually got better, trust me.
48) Does your Tav steal the moonlantern from Kar'Niss or do they fight him?
They fought him, betraying him and the rest of the convoy when they were confronted by the Harpers at the ambush point. When explaining themselves at Moonrise, she was quick to tell how "horrifically overwhelmed" they were.
The pixie was freed eventually after a bit of time with fiddling with the lantern.
53) Did your Tav help Art Cullagh
Yes, but sort of unexpectedly. The party came across the lute after digging around the House of Healing while searching for Arabella's parents. So by the time they got to helping Halsin with the curse, they just happened to have it on hand.
(this is also a tie-in joke with how I went about the quest absolutely in the wrong order, so by the time the quest started, the lute was already in my inventory lmao)
15, 47 & 76 for the tav ask list? :3c
Hoo boy, let's go (also thank you!)
15) Does your Tav use their Arcana knowledge to free Shadowheart or do they use the rune found in the next room?
Arcana's not really an option for Zhana, so Lae'zel's first experience with her new travel loot-goblin companion was hunting for that rune.
47) Does your Tav help Markus or do they warn Isobel?
Isobel was warned, she may have reservations with anything Harper-related but it's still better than cultists.
76) Does your Tav tell Dame Aylin about Lorroakan? Do they help her fight him?
She did, originally it was mainly with the intention to add it to the list of things to do to piss the wizard off (including the plan to break into to the vaults to get the Annals of Karsus for Gale), but she didn't expect the extent of Lorroakan's intentions for Aylin. Once the villain monologue was done, she was very happy she grabbed enough Arcane Interference arrows when they set off to Ramazith's Tower.
