Thank you for tag @shkura2011 ! Your VP are amazing ! You can be proud of your progress ❤️.
How was it with me? It started with me wanting a nice wallpaper with Astarion. So I downloaded Otis free camera mod and fired up Photoshop and Lightroom.
That was my first shot:
Of course, I made the wallpaper too !
Something with Tavs:
At first, I didn't use ReShade, I started experimenting with it later.
That’s when I also started making a lot of portraits:
And when the kisses update came out, I also started taking a lot shots of couples.

Which also started turning out better and better over time:
And then came Photomod !
My first shot:
From then on, things kept getting better:
And here are my latest works:
P.S. from what I’ve noticed about my style, I really like focusing on the background surrounding the character, I suppose that’s quite typical for me. I like large, expansive frames.

Yes, I like water shots 😅.
I hope my progress moves forward, because for now, I feel like I’ve stalled😅. But unfortunately, a lack of time and health issues are getting in my way a bit 🙈. And there are more and more tools for VP and I just can't keep up with it anymore 🤣🤣🤣.

What part of your Durge survives no matter the path taken?

As for Aristen, there is certainly one trait that has stayed with her: she has no problem with dead bodies. And here I’ll give a concrete example - or two .
Since Astarion has to eat, he hunts for murderers, rapists, and other bad people in the city. But being something of a cat-like elf, he sometimes likes to leave his snacks - say, right in the middle of the living room 🤣. Aristen comes home and sees a dead guy on the table. She has no issue with the fact that it’s a corpse - she’d react the same way if, say, Astarion had left dirty socks lying around. She’s just annoyed that the thing is somewhere it shouldn't be and is dirtying her floor 🤣.
Here’s another example: she’s fighting alongside Astarion against some thugs in a dive. There are bodies everywhere. Both are exhausted and need to rest. They head into a nearby room and settle down - even though there are a few corpses right there against the wall. It doesn’t bother her - at least Astarion has something to eat 😂.

The image in my head of Aristen just not caring for the mess of corpses and rotten body parts *haha* 🤣 What is a HUGE HUGE favor in a life with a vampire 😉🤭 Because as we know hostages, corpses and all kind of that stuff can pile up in their basement....maybe 😉😁 *hehe*
What weapon is she about to employ? Chakram? Pinky finger? Halibut? I leave it to your imagination.

It occurred to me that I'd never actually drawn these two together, so I decided fixing that would be a good way to end Pride Month.
