Seraphina Hellwhisper, The Lucky Sorcerer, And Gale Dekarios, The Wizard Of Waterdeep

Seraphina Hellwhisper, the Lucky Sorcerer, and Gale Dekarios, the Wizard of Waterdeep

(aka 2 idiots in love who think their death is worth the favor of their goddesses) Check out my fic for these two.

Full size and still kinda incomplete version under the cut.

Baldur's Gate 3 inspired me to start writing again, so I wanted to see if the inspo carried over to art! I haven't picked up my pencil to draw in ages, and when I finally did, I decided to also start with a brand new program that I haven't ever used before, so this drawing nearly ended me lol. I gave up on certain aspects like Seraphina's armor (pls don't even mention her hair omg), so that pattern is literally just a screenshot from the game. I'm still figuring out my art style so we'll see what sticks!

Aftermath

Listened to Cinema by Harry Styles writing this...

18+, a note from after the tiefling party.

Tav- I saw you at the party. You should get drunk more, I think. Flushed cheeks look good on you. Your laugh spilling from your lips so easily made me want to pin you underneath me and made me want to hear it again, over and over. Perhaps other things, too. You were quite popular, weren’t you? Astarion looked at you like you were a choice little morsel… do you want to know how angry that made me? To think of you with him, I… well. It would be ungentlemanly of me to say… but there’s a time and place. If I said I wanted to rip you from his arms and taste the wine on your lips, what then? If I said I wanted- want- to press you so close to me I could feel your heart in my own chest, what then? I have destroyed our friendship, I fear. Did you stay with him last night? Are you reading this with the taste of him in your mouth? Tell me. Since there’s no godsforsaken privacy in this place, I’ll send my simulacrum to fetch you. If you don’t arrive by sunset, I’ll know it’s Astarion you want. But if you show up… don’t expect to rest. You won’t go hungry either. I promise I’ll feed you. Gale

Tell me.

Gale

Ever think about how AA's sex scenes focus on his emotionless face and the scars on his back, basically saying that he'll always be bound to the scars and never be free. How it harkens back to his line of "Yes, I suppose there is no point keeping me around if I won't have sex. My only talent! I'm fully aware." How ascension just reduces him to everything he hates about himself.

While the graveyard scene is Astarion fully clothed, smiling a lot, and won't shut up about how much he loves you and how he's finally free. The scene fades to black because this is his moment. Even if you say that you need more time, he's completely fine with it. He says that you two have all the time you need. He writes a new date on his gravestone. He's been reborn. He's no longer bound to Cazador's pleasure chambers. He's here with you.

Anyway I do think the "sometimes the curtains are just blue" actually did legitimate damage to people's brains.

Shadowheart in Judy's clothes <3 cp2077 x bg3 "Hold up, T, you mean to say... there's an engram of Balduran inside your head?"

One thing that really moved me about Karlach's ending? Her telling a high approval, non-romanced Tav, 'love you.' Her saying, 'I adore you.' Her calling a non-romanced Wyll 'someone I love' in the epilogue. Yes! Let's have more platonic declarations of love and adoration!! Let's have more stories about platonic love being just as world-changing and life-affirming as romantic love!! More of this!!!!
