Catto lanterns! 🎃😺

I saw these black cat pumpkin lanterns in Sainsbury's last year and immediately knew I had to paint them up to match my cats. And then I was horrifyingly ill over Halloween itself so I never shared them.

Sadly they do not seem to have had them this year 😞 Otherwise I'd have bought another for the stray we've semi-adopted this year (Wouldn't have needed any paint though! He is the voidiest void).

Now gaze upon my feline muses, Howl and Ponyo —

Getting my brain to focus on making art is a battle I am currently not winning, so please enjoy some screenshots of Tove instead. She so pretty 🥹

(mod list)

[thornaelle]

Yes yes I've barely started the game, haven't even met all my act 1 companions yet, but of course I'm already drawing my Tav. Her name is Tove Grathe and I love her.

She is baby. A sorcerous, dragon-blooded, half-orc, tadpole-brained, deeply concerned, baby.

I made these chibi icons for my Pathfinder party to use as tokens on our virtual tabletop.

They are Bjorn Thunderspeaker, Duzz Drumming aka ✨The Great Madame Babache✨, Tass (better known as Fluffy to everyone who doesn't currently want him dead) and Rosario Valentina Isabella di Acanto Sabella. They are in charge of a circus and maybe saving the world, and are also somehow not dead yet. How any of these things have occurred is a bit of a mystery.

I was fortunate to get a commission from @thornaelle of my Tav Kalmaia! She looks simply stunning and I can't thank you enough 💕

Evangeline for @weird-aunt!

I was able to snag one of @thornaelle's headshot commissions for The Worst Sith Ever(affectionate), Tragen, and he came out absolutely perfect.🤩

[thornaelle]

All gone, thank you! Sorry if you missed out, I will open more slots in June.

8 commission slots are open via ko-fi! Chibis are £20 each, headshots are £25 with optional shading for an extra £5.

All the info is on my ko-fi commissions page, linked below. If you want to grab a slot now but need a chance to get your refs and descriptions together that's fine, you can email them to me later! They do often go quickly. If you need to see more examples, take a look at my chibi icons and headshots tags.

A portrait of my Pathfinder character Sabella's current mental state. She's having A Time.

▸ Everything she thought she knew about her life was a lie. ▸ Her great-grandfather is not just dealing with a fiends, he is one. He's a Rakshasa, has probably been several of her ancestors through reincarnation or impersonation, and he wants her to come home and be a good little pawn, sorry, grand-daughter. He particularly wants her back now he knows she can change her form and hide that she's a tiefling. ▸ But she wasn't actually born visibly a tiefling! Her older brother Cesare was though, and that was deemed unacceptable because they needed a respectable face for the family heir and not one that openly advertised that they had been dealing with fiends. Their second born, however, could be safely kept out of sight until they could find a way to permanently hide her fiendish blood too. So their heritages were swapped via horrible transmutation magic involving a painting stretched over a frame of magically re-shaped ribs, which has been hanging in her bedroom most of her life :) ▸ Totally unrelatedly hahaha; She's missing a rib! Cesare is probably missing one too :) It's fine, it probably contributes to her ridiculous acrobatics modifier she's real bendy :) :) It's fine :) Or could that be the ancestry involving a creature know for having wierd joints? Certainly no-one's looking at the way she moves with new eyes at all hahahahaaa :) ▸ Her parents may have been trying to protect her all her life which meant pushing her away and making her want to leave. Real shitty way to discover your parents might not actually hate you, might in fact love and want you very much. ▸ AND her dad has "business dealings" with the Azarketi ambassador, of the kind that mean they light up when they're in the same room and her mother is really pissed off. Is your family life not complicated enough already, dad??? ▸ Everything is Fine. ▸ :) :) :|

She's quite looking forward to getting to go and hit things that are completely unrelated to her fucked up family. (I am having a great time. Sabella may be in the middle of a nervous breakdown.)

Did you use any mods for your BG3 character, or have I just not seen that head and hair option before?

I did; the head is from Duchell's Half-Orcs and the hair is from More dreadlocks and curly hairs.

EDIT: Here's a full list of the mods I'm using on Tove

[thornaelle]

Guess who finally started on BG3 and has spent entirely too long in the character creator and now has like 5645689 characters lined up to never play

[thornaelle]

I think I'm sticking with this girl for now. Her name is Tove the Grey, she's a half-orc draconic bloodline sorceror.

[thornaelle]

Yeah. I love her.

Art summary for 2023!

You have no idea how glad and proud I am to have no blanks this year (and even have multiple pieces to chose from for most months!). Sure there's not much in the way of big impressive stuff here (many many busts facing 3/4, I know my strengths) but given how much I have struggled to get anything done in previous years; this feels huge.
