You are somewhere, not in death or life

For more details and my ramblings about this below the break

GOD this scene really struck me when it happened, I have had this wip sketched out since it happened! So I have spent a lot of time shoving little details in here, and getting this just right.

The bottom pose of Occtis is based on Giovanni Dupré dying Abel (yes Abel from Cain and Abel), which felt fitting for Occtis's story of being betrayed by his family.

On the bottom I drew the soul of Pin, which is why he doesn't have his little button eyes. IDK why but his soul resting there reminded me of all the pets who refuse to leave their owners even in death.

The birds, I realized after finishing this should've been nightingales, but with the amount of times magpies were mentioned in this series I think we can all forgive my mistakes LOL.

On the top end, I wanted to visually show the pull from his heart to wander deeper into the forest, cause that really stuck with me during that scene.

“You don’t owe the gods anything, not now”

My thoughts for this piece under the break

I fucking love the idea of Astarion helping Gale realize how incredibly fucked Mystra is. Cause of all people, the spawn shunned by the gods despite his desperate prayers, would understand the pain that comes with a goddess you thought you could trust turning her back on you. Cause what Mystra asks if Gale under the guise of “forgiveness” is insane and really shows how she doesn’t love Gale the way he so clearly loved her. Just two traumatized boys finding love and growth with each other <3

Jayvik WHA magic shop!

as always my yapping about the piece under the break :D

Okay so this piece was a monster but god DAMN a I proud of it. I wanted to get a feel for the jayvik abode so I had to draw it. I figured these two inventive men would have to run a magic supply shop in the WHA universe it just makes sense to me! I wanted to include as many nods to the arcane hence the anomaly imagery in viktors coat and painted on the walls. I also couldn't help myself and made a hexcrystal style lamp :D

I designed this in mind with this being before viktor becomes a brimmed hat, when he and jayce are very above the board making magical devices to help people. It's hard to see in this piece but viktor is wearing his back brace, but I designed it to work kind of similar to the knights moralis banners

The two cats are Rio and Blitz, blitz is the one by viktor with the cat wheelchair as a nod to his cannon robot self.

I made a realization last night that my tav looks a shocking bit like sebastion. So of course I had to make an angst comic about it <3
