"This is a gift, you know. Thank you. I won't forget it." I wanted to draw some soft art of Astarion, and while I do think he's a bit of a chaos gremlin (affectionate), he's also really sweet (well, if he doesn't ascend I guess lol). So here. He's been through a lot, and he could stand to use some softness.

✨ Stuff I write ✨ (and also draw) NOVELS: The Bard and the Messenger comes out in June of 2026! COMICS: Read Balefire (comic) on Slipshine (NSFW, 18+ only!) Read Spidersilk on Tapas (An older, ongoing work; the mc is not trans, but he's 30 and everyone's queer) And keep an eye out for more queer stories by following my Patreon (join for free to get the newsletter)!

Every month, I draw a new fancy fantasy lad with the theme of arthropod knights. Join my snail mail art club tier on Patreon by the end of March to get a mini print of this guy! Happy mail in the form of fancy fantasy lads? Yes, please!!

I look up symbolism for each creature and work in a few of the themes I find, though I fully expected to go with my own interpretation of spiders (good luck). Surprise! I'm not alone! Other cultures and mythologies and stories portray the spider in the role of a protector, as a creator (of the world, even), as a writer, and yes, as good luck. Not all associations are positive, but I'm not trying to capture everything. It would not be easy in a single image. Join as a free member or paid at patreon.com/alakotila for big art news, which should arrive in your inbox if you're not on socials much! You can also choose a paid tier for extras like early Spidersilk pages and the fancy lad art club snail mail! Find me elsewhere: 🦋 Bluesky 📷 Instagram 📖 Buy My Books 📖 If you like coloring books, I've got a fancy fantasy lad coloring book available widely! Try Barnes & Noble or support an indie shop on BookShop.org! You can also get PDFs of all three coloring books and some comics at my Ko-Fi shop!
