Welcome To My Brain

I thought I'd pin this so people can find the starting points of each of my comics in order.

The main arcs follow my OC Ishta and her chaotic relationship with Astarion. Other posts are random ideas that have been floating around in my brain. All comics are made using BG3's in-game photomode with a ton of pose and expression mods, then overlaid with non-AI art filters in photoshop.

Randoms - The Wilds:

Well, that was quite the adventure to wrap up 'Season One' on. I'll be taking a break to think up some storylines as I play through the Underdark sections of the game now.

I hope you are all enjoying this comic series so far and a big thank-you for all the likes and comments.

A little more backstory for Ishta and a fanboy moment for Astarion 😆

Oof... this is going to be a hard conversation. 😬

Did I mention Ishta was a fanatic in her early years? Being tortured and turned into a hybrid vampire sort of snapped her mind a little bit. 😬

Uh... Astarion, that's maybe not a good idea. 🫣

(And someone convinced me to set up a Ko-Fi account if any of you want to buy my dog some snacks 😘)

Hello! I’ve been consuming your comics ravenously for the past few weeks (BG3 run post-partum hitting hard) do you have a patreon or ko-fi ?

I know what one of those things is... I'm not sure what the benefits of a Patreon would be. I just tend to make these comics and slap 'em on Tumblr and Insta as soon as they're done.🤷🏻‍♀️

Ah yes, here we have an example of Ishta during her fanatical, vampire-hating days. 😰

I couldn't resist...

Whew! Sorry this took so long to update, but the heatwave really knocked me for six. Then I decided to spontaneously go on holiday to Warwick to visit the castle. So I've been too tired to mess with photomode. Forced myself to rest from the heat today though in a cooled hotel room.

[wildbloodwolf]

Heatwave... I'm dying.

I live in North Yorkshire - a county in England well known for being a bit on the nippy side. Basically Ned Stark would love it here. 😜

So when temperatures reach those similar to being blasted in the face by the Rosymorn Sun Lance, we all collectively shrivel up and crawl to the nearest paddling pool or chest freezer to wait out the UV apocalypse.

Astarion... run. Ishta's family is full of absolute psychopaths 🫪

Poor Astarion is learning a painful lesson in patience 😆
