What’s a little chomp between friends? 🖤🩸

I’ve drawn so much bg3 art since playing and I’m posting my backlog first - think this is from very early January?

My thread was, in fact, under the couch

"You could have it all, My empire of dirt; I will let you down, I will make you hurt."

Yes, this is also related to my bg3 minific! In the reference I used to draw the background, I didn't see that the gold is actually ornate grating, so I'm annoyed about that now (but not annoyed enough to fix it, you feel?)

Valdani jerked as his teeth pierced through the skin and muscle, slicing into her flesh with practiced ease. The pain was a sharp, cold dagger, and she whimpered as Cazador almost nuzzled against her skin, widening the wounds and forcing her blood to flow into his mouth.

Another random comic and excerpt from my BG3 fanfic - I am honestly so fucking pleased with how this came out!

how I imagine the gang left Cazador's castle after turning him into a bloody paste <3

Down By The River

"Valdani moved out of her crouch and stretched out her legs, back resting against a rough-barked tree. Her fist unfurled, and she took his hand in both of hers, absentmindedly playing with it. Astarion mirrored her movement, her posture, happy to relieve the ache in his legs. Her tail curled around her like a cat’s."

lil bit of fic-related art once again! I love the idea of Valdani being really tactile (particularly with Astarion ofc but really with everyone)

this is actually from a fic where she's revealing a particularly dark part of her past, poor love 💔

"They do know how to write them in Cormyr, don't they?"

wait, what? some art of mine not featuring Astarion or Valdani? can it be? has my obsession waned?

...

nah, joke's on you pal, they're still in this one! peep the mice; l-r: Karlach, Shadowheart, Astarion, Valdani ❤️

I find Raphael to be a particularly intriguing villain, and I was genuinely sad to end him, when I finally made it to the House of Hope in my fourth playthrough 😢 next time, I might make a deal with him instead and see how that goes!

[thinkingcreatures]

"Astarion kept his face buried in her neck for a long moment, breathing deep and slow. Her hands in his hair, stroking across his back, felt like a lullaby. It was dangerous how easy it was becoming to forget himself, in these night-time meetings. Her body felt like lying next to a campfire: she was so warm and soft. He was a cat curled up on a windowsill, bathed in sunlight."

procrastinating from formatting my fics into html to upload on my website by posting this here instead - I love these two sm man ugh...

(also fun fact - this lil excerpt is from one of those very fics! a v smutty character study of them both lmao - I don't think I'm feeling brave enough to post it directly on here but I am summoning up the courage to hide it on my website, and will probs draw more art from it and my other lil stories in the near future ✨)
