Golden Knight

Can I have some of that gold sir?

Sussur Greatsword

Close up and text under the cut.

Sussur greatsword my beloved. It would be impossible to cut anything with a sword like that but I’ll ignore this because the design is cool. Also Underdark is my favourite realm in dnd so anything to do with it get’s to be as weird and dysfunctional as it wants.

This is how my BG3 paladin Ulhsaufein looked near the end of act 1. I tried to make him as good loking as I could in an unmodded game, which was a bit challenging at times.

Gloves do not have a leathery underside, but there was quite enough shiny armour showing already, so I changed them. I made this a couple of months ago and I can’t remember why the gloves are golden?

I also tried a new way of painting details of the armour, as there is a lot of it on basic plate mail. So much so that it could have gotten completely overwhelming to render.

I wish BG3 had sussur heavy armour too, because I like the weird alien design of the weapons and would have liked to see more of it. Or just more Underdark themed stuff as it was my favourite part of the game. I loved the athmosphere and the environment.

Celestial Knight

POV: you're the last demon standing.

"Paladin who was send by the heavens to kill his foes" was what I was thinking while painting this illustration. I also listened to Disturbed's Indestructible and It Has To Be This Way from Metal Gear Rising OST on loop while working. Hope it shows.

I wanted to explore more tradional paladin ideas with this one which to me ment shining armor in gold and white. But do notice how his armor in somewhat dull and tarnished. This is on purpose, because I apparetly can't handle too heroic characters.

A drow being the champion of light and heavens has some irony to it which is not lost to me. I have an entire misadventure in mind for the Paladin featuring these kinds of themes.

Expression practice 1

I wanted to do some expression practice drawings but I suck at naming emotions. So here's what I can only decribe as a confident smirk?

Based on BG3's vengeance paladin dialogue this might just be one of his professional expressions. Other three are truly crazed creepy smile, stoic expression and one more with a hint of sadness?

But vengeance paladin dialogue is super fun in BG3 especially if you like playing as imposing characters, but every now and then you will sound like an insane zealot.
