Hello! I never thought Iād finally make a Tumblr account, but here I am! I hope to briefly introduce myself on here before slipping some of my lovely posts!
Call me either Happie or Spoon, Iām a rookie Virtual Photographer (for only Baldurās Gate 3 so far), and Iām one of your typical fandom geeks (anime, musical theatre, etc.) that also loves storytelling and OCs!
Iāve posted some of my shots on Twitter (HappieMedium) and Blue Sky (scoopaspoonful), and plenty on Discord. But hereās a preview of some of my lovely works!
But ultimately, for the past six months Iāve grown to love a certain NPC rarepair in the game that has basically taken over my heart (and folders), which involves a certain Harper and Zhent~ šš
"The Lowly Soldiers' Truce"
Rugan and Harper Geraldus
They've become my OTP comfort ship at this point, and I'll eventually share the WIP fanfiction of them in the future too! Other than that, I look forward to finding mutuals and sharing my love for this game!
February 25, one year ago, was when I posted my first BG3 render. It was of my lovely OTP and their badges. I jumped into Blender in wanting to try a new hobby, way before Patch 8ās photo mode came to the game. I was hesitant to post it at first, I didnāt think Iād make it far if things become difficult.
But I learned to trust the process, and to not be harsh with my abilities when I wanted the best results. I wanted to make BG3 renders for fun, even if it took a lot of time and patience to make it āperfectā.
āSpecial Badge Holders.ā February 25, 2025
āA Badge Holderās Promotion.ā August 25, 2025
I love watching my skills evolve, and my past self would be proud of the fact I kept going!
I forgot to post these other renders, theyāre on my Blue Sky, but Iāll include them here as part of my celebration! Happy Late Valentineās to btw! šš
Despite continuing to make numerous renders of Rugan and Geraldus together, Iāve had curious viewers anticipate their story! Itās such a unique rarepair, Iām not surprised that Iām the shipās only captain steering through the tides of fandom.
I actually have a fanfic about them on AO3 (under the same username). Thereās only the first chapter, but currently rewriting it because Iām a bit more harsh on myself with that medium. Despite that, allow me to give you two hints of their relationship!
A Harper and a Zhent are bound to be enemies due to their contrasting alliances. But this isnāt enemies-to-lovers, their secret fling brings issue with their (former) organizations, which risks more than just their bond, itās also their lives.
Their dynamic was inspired by Bill and Frank from āThe Last of Usā Episode 3. Because of the emotional drive with their relationship, I wanted to apply it to Rugan and Geraldus. I find it more appealing to āround their edgesā so that itās not just a story about a ācocky smugglerā and a ānaive recruitā. Theyāve witnessed a lot of bad things, come to terms with each otherās dilemma, and rely on each other to continue to survive.
For those who have tagged along in my 3D Rendering (and RuGera) journey, I sincerely thank you for your support! Iāll make a progress check in August again, and I really look forward to bringing more ideas to life as I trickle more content with my OTP and my Tavs!
Thinking about a [reluctantly at first] domesticated Rugan, retired and stiff and a little creaky. And... tired. More tired than he imagined.
Domesticated Rugan discovering he really loves cooking and designates himself in charge of dinner every single night without fail.
Domesticated Rugan enjoying the sunsets he never got to appreciate before from the balcony, hand in hand with his love. Or perhaps watching the sun rise through the bedroom window, admiring the way his love is bathed in the sunlight as they sleep.
Domesticated Rugan trying to be a handy man, slamming his thumb in a hammer trying to nail a picture to the wall. Of course, his love has to kiss it better.
Domesticated Rugan finally having the chance to love and be loved, to have a normal life. Even if his back is killing him.
An armored dame, sworn with her Oath of Glory to the goddess Tymora. She wields an innate wild sorcery, and hides her face behind a veil of chains.
A maiden of mystery, bride to none and protector for all.
She is named: Kutsara Galak
~~~
My avatar Tav, and sheās already becoming more of an OC with the story Iām brewing! š¤
Although she was more of a Tav design and a silly headcanoned āself insertā, sparks of inspiration came from no where, and I locked in to solidify her character.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! How about a final render to end the 2025 season?
Iāve got so much more planned for next year, and Iām so excited to continue building my skills! To those who have been following my journey, I thank you so so much for your support!
I wish you all the best, and Iāll scoop ya later! š„

Hi again!
Iām back again with my lovely duo! šš Itās been a while since I rendered them, and Iāve missed them dearly! š
Although I imagined them in a more ballroom-esque setting, having them dance on the Elfsongās rooftop felt more natural and romantic, especially as they fall deeper in love in each otherās hold. š„ŗ
Hope you like!

On a personal note, Iām very grateful to be acknowledged for my work. Even though I still have a long way to go with fancy compositions, my render journey has been very rewarding!
Iām also proud to keep my love for BG3 strong. If it werenāt for the talented community, I wouldnāt be doing all this. ā¤ļø
A huge thank you to Neil Newbon, Tom De Ville, and Blue Owlz Medic for loving of my render! As of the time of this posting, I look forward to the strong finale on the Twitch stream!
Another huge thank you to everyone who continues to like my renders! Iām so excited to share more works to you!
I currently donāt have any special way to celebrate this milestone (the funds I received for this happening will be similarly donated), but I have a few things planned, little āspoonfulsā to say the least~
Again, I thank you so so much for this amazing moment!
We once served a queen, the words of her majesty true. Until she favored darkness, to betray us both, me and you.
Your mind is Absolute, as you cage me in her name. The āLight Bringerā you are, when I dirty your work with shame.
I loathe your voice and your lyrics, so I chime my filigreed bell. The crystal clear sound, a blessing from the turning spikes of hell.
Bitterness grows to the tips of my wings. To tell you the truth, I refuse to be your plaything.
Do you truly hear the voice of she, or of me? We are choking hopelessly, when neither of us are free.
So go, and claw and crawl from the feeding pits of despair. Remember my light and dust, as I cackle at your corpse of a last prayer.

Hello again, itās been a while (took a small break) but Iām back! This time Iāve come around with an unlikely duo under my spotlight! š·ļøš§
Thereās definitely a lot of resentment between them, given their circumstances. Karāniss believes to hear the words of her majesty, but such lyrical words may resemble to that of a certain pixie spoken three times.
Even though Dolly Thrice doesnāt have a class, I imagine her specialties being the Dissonant Whispers spell, pretending to be the Absolute Karāniss hears in his head.
Six months ago, I began using Blender when Patch 8ās Photo Mode wasnāt available at the time. Iām the type to be rather picky with my compositions, a little perfectionist for getting the right shots. So when I saw other creators using Blender to render their characters in ways the game couldnāt, I thought āhey, why not?ā
I primarily used Blender solely for BG3 works, but I never expected myself to really have fun with it! Every rendering session has gotten me to learn something new, implementing each method onto my renders as it slowly evolved into what I can be satisfied with!
Hereās what I began with, initially posted as āSpecial Badge Holdersā on my page!
Even as I continue to learn, who wouldāve thought my creative endeavors would bring me to make special renders like these! š„°š„°š„°
Hereās to more for this year! š

Vulgaris
Servant to the Beastlord
The Left Hand of the Claw
The Black Barlow
~~~
I havenāt posted on here in a while, but Iām glad to slip back for a moment to post a lilā anniversary render!! š„³
On this day, August 16th, 2024, Vulgaris was created for a game I never knew would change my life. He was just a regular olā Ranger who was simply navigating Absolute chaos!
I never finished his Tav route fully, as I decided to try the Durge Route instead. It was that moment when he really began to blossom in my little world!
After completing his Durge Run, I made a few tweaks to his story and appearance, and solidified Vulgaris as the man he is today!
He is a man who once thought to live a simple life with a loving family, until fate tore everything apart.
The only way to endure its consequences was to let everything go, embrace the new truth, and endure the means of surviving.
This poor man will kill me for all the tragedies I throw at him š
Iāve since made my creative journey with Virtual Photography and Blender rendering, waiting for the perfect opportunity to execute his story to the fandom. Even if it wonāt be a flawless story, I gotta get him out there now or never.
Although Iāll still post on here, Iām more active on Blue Sky (same handle) if you wanna check out more of my works!
Thanks for sticking around, and Iāll scoop ya later! š„

Hereās my āobligatoryā Astarion render!
Well, not so obligatory, as Iāve always wanted to try rendering our lovely vampire with a little classic touch! After discovering a certain outfit from badwitch69ās Pino Collection, inspiration kicked in immediately!
The throne had to be vacant for Astarion as he poses with a signature hand, his eyes glowing just like Count Dracula himself! š§š»
I didnāt have Ascended Astarion in mind while making this (never liked the idea of him ascending). But if Astarion had a different outcome whilst taking Cazadorās leadership, then this is how I imagine the vibes of our Count in Baldurās Gate!
