🌒 PHASES | Shadowheart 🌘

Since I'm considering moving some of my stuff here from insta, or posting some of it just here, here's one of them I'm proud of.

It was quite a challenge because of the lights and the watery surface. (The little patterns you see are the sign of Nightshade. A little lovely poison for AI. Of course prints don't have them :)

And this is the song that inspired me to draw it:

Stargate: Atlantis — Irresponsible  {Sentence Starters}

“See? Invincible.“

“I peruse. It’s a gift.“

“See? That’s anger.”

“You lied to these people.“

“Don’t disappoint me, again.“

“Invincible. I can’t be vinced.“

“Well, that’d be petty of them.“

“It’s not me this time, I swear.“

“Kick me as hard as you can.“

“Get out! And don’t come back!“

“I wouldn’t! I’m telling you… don’t.“

“You said the way out was blocked.“

“This isn’t the amount we agreed on.“

“Not so invincible now, are we, hero?“

“And you greatly admired this behavior?“

“Yeah, I’d slit your throat from ear to ear.“

“You know what? Nobody deserves that!“

“A fascinating way to die, don’t you think?“

“You are taking advantage of these people.“

“Oh, you’re done playing hero now, are you?“

“Drop your weapons or die where you stand.“

“I don’t recall there being many superheroes.“

“I’ll let you know when the bad guys clear out.“

“This is no time to be a hero, you understand?“

“If we act now, we risk injuring innocent villagers.“

“Yes, I can imagine the jokes and the entrial slime.“

“Ow! Ow! Thought you said that wasn’t gonna hurt!“

“C'mon, as far as jobs for hire go, this wasn’t so bad.“

“You should have left town when you had the chance.“

“You’re trying to figure out a way to hurt me, aren’t you?“

“Everybody’s looking for you. I just walked out unnoticed.“

“Listen, I wanna apologize for the whole angry mob thing.“

“We’ll have to kill ‘em all… I’m alright with that, by the way.”

“A magnifying glass and some tape… some poisoned tape!“

“Well, I guess the only thing left to do is for you to thank me.“

“You know, your stories are awfully fascinating… and familiar.“

“Take your men and get out. This town is under my protection.“

“Anyway, here’s a little something that may make it worthwhile.“

“Sounds to me like someone’s imagination’s running a little wild.“

“You do know those things run out of juice eventually, don’t you?“

“I don’t believe this. Isn’t that the worst thing you could imagine?“

“Let me tell you something: you’re only as good as your last rescue.“

“What, you think I’d let you have this? You’d kill me right on the spot!“

“Well, whoever it is, it’d be nice to have someone like that on our side.“

“Nobody gets hurt. That’s my vote… and my heartfelt recommendation.“

“This hero you speak of… he doesn’t happen to have a name, does he?”

“If I gave you the opportunity to surrender, I don’t suppose you’d take it?“

“So, you’ve got two choices: you can either leave, or I’ll make you leave.“

“You mean these people are not drugged… they simply adore you for who you are?”

“Here’s the thing: if we all start shooting at each other, somebody’s bound to get hurt.“

“I’m not talking about the foot massage… actually, I am talking about the foot massage!“

“What if I didn’t know that you were in trouble, or I couldn’t get back in time? What would you do then?“

“I could set myself on fire… I could run naked. Oh, I know! What if I got on your shoulders and we have a cloak, it’s some religious thing. They could be afraid of giants?”

Height comparison chart based on the in-game models

Dragonborn Durge is 6'8" or 204cm. Halsin and Minsc are 6'7" or 200cm. Karlach is 6'4" or 192cm. Devil form Wyll is 6'1" or 185cm (the horns net him ~2 in / ~5cm!) Human form Wyll, Astarion, and Gale are 5'11" or 180 cm. Jaheira, Shadowheart, Minthara, and Lae'zel are 5'7" or 170cm.

The models are a little bigger in Blender than they would be in the real world. Devil Wyll was 6'7" going by his model in blender, which is just...Not Correct.

This could be because my extracts scaled slightly wrong when i imported them into blender, or the in-game scale is slightly larger than the real world, or they're just modeled a little taller than they're meant to be to make them look biggg. (my vote is that i fucked the scale. rip y'all's estimation of my intelligence.)

Whatever the reason, I knew that they were all scaled wrong in the same way. This means that instead of giving up a futile pursuit, I could do math to figure out something more reasonable.

We happen to know that Astarion is "approximately 5'11"."

I used that as a baseline. So, with our scale established, we get something like this:

Other notes:

Shadowheart/Jahiera/Minthara, Minsc/Halsin, and Gale/Astarion/Wyll share the same heights because they use the same body model.

I'm decently certain that githyanki share an armature with elves/half-elves/drow/humans, so even though the gith body model looks different, Lae'zel is the same height as the other gals to line up with their armature's bones.

I didn't include hair or head accessories (like Shadowheart's) in the total height (that's cheating).

I did include Durge's and Karlach's horns in their overall height, but Karlach's really don't add much (maybe a cm or 2).

Average height worldwide (on Earth) for men is 5'9"/ 175 cm, and for women is 5'4" / 161 cm, so they're all quite tall, but mostly still within a standard deviation of the average.

Except for Karlach, Halsin, and Minsc, who are in the 99.9th percentile for height! They're not tall, they're huge.

[commandershepardvasfuckit]

Why is Halsin so big? Is there an actual reason or is he just weirdly massive

As far as actual in game explanation, he’s just weirdly large lol

There is a throwaway line where he jokes that maybe generations back he has an orc ancestor, but it just seems to be a joke

Someone on tumblr (and I’ll never find the post now that I need it 😭 so so pardon if I get details wrong!) pointed out that he’s from the High Forest and possibly might have Uthgardt (human barbarians known for their large size) somewhere many generations back in his blood. That seems like a decent enough possibility!

But regardless of why, we all love the big elf 💜

[silveredbark]

Going to offer some unsolicited speculation - I hope that's okay.

I think the reason he was designed that way (large with no canon explanation) ties in to the fact that a lot of Halsin's character is about contradictions. He has a line about "ideas about what someone can or cannot be being too narrow"

He's built like a brick shit house but he's very gentle and kind

He's a "healer of some renown" but he's also a powerful warrior with a tendancy to tear people apart as a bear

He's an elf but he's not delicate or slim

He's wise and measured but he's SO horny he accidentally wild shapes

There's more, I did a bit of a list in an ask once. It's a facet of him I adore and I think challenging the status quo is a core part of him.

[offurandfeathers]

Here's the theory by yours truly mentioned by @commandershepardvasfuckit

Don't take this the wrong way, but you're quite large for an elf.

"Who is to say ? Perhaps there's a half-orc buried somewhere in my ancestry ?" - Halsin Silverbough I think there is definitely something

There are also a LOT of theories by @autistichalsin regarding Werebear Halsin!

[druidofhighice]

I have a simpler and profoundly less fantasy-esque explanation.

Halsin just has higher levels of testosterone than the stereotypical elf. This would explain his increased muscle mass, thicker body hair, high libido, and high bone density. He might have a case of Hyperpituitarism - an excessive excretion of one or more hormones by the pituitary gland; in short: a hormone production disorder.
