[so-called-yokai]

So I kept forgetting to post this but couple weeks ago now I got this absolutely adorable commission from @dianagj-art and I'm so in love with it! Leo and Eshra are so cute it's disgusting, and Diana was such a delight to work with! I really, really hope to get more soon.

Eshra's greetings and some banter

-39—-20(negative)

"Out with it"

(sigh) "What?"

(tongue click) "And here I thought the day was going well"

-19—20(neutral)

(slight smile) "Yes?"

"You wish to chat?"

"You have my attention"

21—40(medium)

"I am listening"

"You have something to say, yes?"

"How can I help, my dear?"

41—100 (high, exceptional)

"What is it, my dear?"

"Your secrets are safe with me"

"You look like you have a secret to share with me"

"What bothers you, friend?"

Flirty:

"Well-well, haven't my day just got so much better"

"My attention is all yours, dear."

"Ah, I do like the sound of your voice, you know"

Romanced:

(leaning in slightly with a soft smile) "Hmmm?"

"My, oh my, remembered of little ol' me?"

"Got tired admiring me form afar, love?"

(raising an eyebrow with sly smile, she looks expectantly)

Romanced (rejected Bhaal) Will include all of regular romanced lines and additional:

"Since I stopped hearing the song of your blood, your voice got so much clearer, my love"

"To be free, to be loved, what more could one ask for? Well, to hear your lovely voice right about now, I suppose"

"My joy, my heart, what troubles you?"

"My darling, I am at your service" (bows jokingly)

Romanced (lost to Orin)

(looks a little lost) "Ah—? Oh. Yes. What is it?"

(in solemn tone) "Speak to me"

(agitated) "What!?" (snaps out of it) "No— not like that— I'm sorry, haven't got much sleep lately. Did you want something?"

Romanced (accepted Bhaal)

"My most beloved victim"

"Oh how I crave to crawl under your very skin"

"I hear the song your blood sings for me so clear. Beautiful."

Banters:

Considering Eshra is more observing than prying type, I don't think she would initiate them much herself. Except maybe environmental ones and a bit of flirting here and there. I have just a few so far.

(Shadowheart/Eshra)

— "Do you dye your hair, Eshra?"

— "Hm? What makes you think so?"

— "I mean, isn't drow hair usually white or blond?"

— "Why, thank you for calling me special, my dear"

— "That's not— Nevermind"

(Eshra/Wyll/Gale. Underdark, after Eshra's amnesia revealed. Requires fighting at least 2 drow enemies, Minthara included)

— "Say, is drow hierarchy really as ruthless and strict as it is described in tomes about Underdark??" (G)

— "Gale, dear, I have no idea. Although the drow we encountered so far left only a bad taste in my mouth"

— "Afraid that you too did something cruel in your past?" (W)

— "Concerned I was a snobbish insufferable brat"

(Eshra/Tav Temple of Jergal or any temple ruins)

— "This feels familiar... somehow"

— "Hm? Were you a church worker?"

— "Of sorts, I think..."

(Lae'Zel/Karlach/Eshra on the elevator thingy on the way to monastery)

— "What a sight. We should stop for a nice little lunch, take it all in." (K)

— "Is the worm gnawing at your grey matter? We must find a crèche and be purified." (L)

— "Lae'Zel is right... A lunch after being freed from our wrigglers would be much sweeter, don't you think?" (E)

— "Chk. You're both are way too frivolous." (L)

(Minthara/Eshra shadow cursed land. Requires Eshra being recruited before meeting Minthara in act1)

— "So, my suspicions were correct."

— (sigh) "What are you talking about?"

— "The moment we met. I thought something isn't right about you. You look like a drow, but you're most certainly not one. So what are you, iblith?"

— "Careful, Minthara, don't make me regret not slitting your throat in that goblin camp, the moment our dear leader looked away."

— "You would've died in attempt."

That it for now! Will post more banters some time later.

I lost motivation to finish this after the second outfit

then @so-called-yokai 's oc Eshra held a gun to my head and said, "Dress him."

So i dressed him :]

Behold; my questionable taste in fashion!

It was supposed to be four outfits loosely inspired by the turtles, but i completely lost motivation to do raph's one :,]

(I blame so-called-yokai for the third one, giving me fashion ideas for peepaw)

Individuals under the cut!

I know my clothes drawing skills aren't the best, so it's not perfect, lol. Just part of the journey I'm on

Work wear, of course. cause that's definitely one of my favorite kinds of clothes, ngl

You can blame so-called-yokai for the sheer croptop and skinny jeans since they didn't stop me when i brought up the ideas, lol

This was the original one! I decided to try dressing him up and had future mikey floating around my brain, then i decided to try making more, and uhh, here we are :p

And of course, i just had to try to draw so-called-yokai's oc Eshra! Gave him a matching colour scheme while i was at it, lol

I 100% recommend checking their writing out! They're really skilled, and we have recently teamed up to make a crossover AU! 'Semi-Feral Polaroids'! They're writing these adorable snippets about my nardo, leo, and their oc!

(I'm loving it so far <3)

Have nice day

Hello, peeps!

Here's yet another progress picture lmfao, this time of our favourite crested boy, Eshra ^-^

I'm still far from done, as you can probably tell by his - very unfinished - wing as well as parts of his crest, but I'm really liking how everything is turning out so I figured I'd share! :]

I still need to figure out how to create a smooth transition between his wing and arm while also making it look believable, and I'm looking forward to messing around with a bunch of different brushes and feather patterns for that c:

I've played around a little with some more graphic elements, mainly the magenta cut-out silhouette. I think it adds some very nice depth to the whole piece, so I definetly think I'll be keeping it in the final product ^-^

I'm having an absolute blast with this! It's so much fun to depict Eshra in my own semi-realistic-ish style, thank you again @so-called-yokai for trusting me with your feathered boy! :D

I doubt he'll be a WIP for much longer, now that I've officially gotten started on his wing hehehe

WIP's of crested best-bois aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲

Just got another wonderful commission from @dianagj-art! It ended up being an accidental companion piece to the last one, and I really can't get over how sweet it is. Just two cute gay boys being cute and gay together after a long day of saving the world (or maybe just breaking into the Hirsuté Resort & Spa, whichever).

[so-called-yokai]

So, fun fact. Eshra('s species) is immune to capsaicin. He has no idea he just chemically attacked his boyfriend/best friend/packmate.

An idea that's been living in my brain for ages now and brought to life by the delightful @dysfunctional-doodle. Go check out their Ko-fi!

[so-called-yokai]

The second comic I commissioned from @dysfunctional-doodle and it's freaking adorable.

Thanks to the way his legs are built, Eshra can't wear normal boots when it snows (and also fuck snow). Result?

...Dog booties.

Yes, he is exactly as furious about it as you think he is, and yes, someone wearing blue is about to die.

[so-called-yokai]

Guys, I just.

I can't even words???

@sinestrosmind did such an incredible job and I really, really (that's two reallys) wish I was better at expressing myself because all I'm capable of doing is keyboard smashing over this. This is him. This is my baby, my precious Cretaceous parrot, @sinestrosmind captured him perfectly, and there's even more of him under the cut.

...Not like that, you deviants.
