The Arch Mage of Ramazith ❤️

This was an unexpected surprise. It took me 4 hours total but half of that was figuring out the lighting and I still didn’t wrong 🤣

As usual I get ahead of myself and start messing with final staging before I’ve even finished rendering. I quite like #3 even though it’s the furthest from my original colour palette?

I might ACTUALLY have a finished painting done soon… 👀 this one is almost there!

*gasp* guys, LOOK AT THIS

I'm not even joking, this is so damn good and I haven't been able to stop staring at it 🫪

That linework, that lighting... just unreal. @yevyanko is ridiculously talented and really knocked it out of the park with this one ♥️

THE VAMPIRE LESTAT Live at the Beacon Theater (06.02.2026)

I’m such a messy/chaotic painter - I’ve completely changed her head position, arm/hands, his tail, and I spent over an hour cutting and distorting the bloody chair to get the perspective right because I don’t draw every single detail up front first, and even when I do have a lot of sketch, the painting ends up showing up my perspective issues that I can’t see otherwise)

I’ve also spent two hours on lighting overlays even though I’ve not finished. My brain is always ten steps ahead of my painting.

Anyone else?! Rolan would literally call me an idiot if he saw my “process” - it’s called audhd’art, ok?

A is for Astarion.

So what if I try the BG3 Alphabet Challenge too? This is just a passing enthusiasm. I might give up on it pretty quickly.

Something so funny about Armand genuinely being a weird guy. Like vampirism and immortality and traumatic past aside he is genuinely so odd. Hilarious. Even to other vampires he is super weird. Why is he like that.

This is such a tragic admission.

CW: abuse.

At first you think he’s just making a statement about the décor, and so does Minthara. But her little banter, which is supposed to remind him to focus on the dangers ahead, makes him reveal what’s behind his original statement. It’s not just the appearance of the place that reminds him of Cazador’s palace, but the threatening atmosphere.

He seems to take it lightly, and deflates it, but of course, it’s not that simple. When you think about it, anything he would do in Cazador’s palace could have led to a violent reaction. Not only from Cazador himself, but also from Godey or even his siblings.

In a home where abuse is constant, he evolved in an environment in which nothing was safe. One single step, one single word could lead to excruciating pain and humiliation.

The fact that he so consciously compares such dangerous places to the place that was “his home” for so long is heartbreaking.
