Durge Doodles With His Little Sister And Gorth

Durge doodles with his little sister and Gorth ❤️

I love your durge x Gortash so much! I really enjoyed how Gortash reacted badly (tho valid) to Durge talking to Raphael in your comic, shadow of Durge. Not many people explore that angle regarding the ramifications of Gortash’s experience in the house of hope impacted him as a person.

hello Anon!

thanks for your kind words😊😊

I love exploring the humans interactions in BG3, and I think Gortash is one of the most interesting villan, do I decided to explore his character.

I think the fact that his family literally sold him to slavery, ending in the house of Hope as a child did traumatized Gortash a lot.

I think he didn't talk about this experience because that made him feel humiliated, and he just vaguely told Durge that he doesn't like devils, never explaining why.

(and look at his shoes, the have littles devils on it. as if Gortash want to squash them)

And that's miscommunication was the problem.

we see in the game that everyone is suspicious and untrusting about devils.

my Durge though his dislike was just the norm, so, calling at devil and see if they could help him to control the dark urges was not that big deal.

Raphael is a bitch, but a very intelligent bitch, and he had a hand in both Ketrich and Gortash past, and I think he checked on them from time to time to see if there was something interesting goin on.

so, think when he hear THE bhaalspawn head of the murder cult need some help just because he catched feelings for the little runt Raphael had as a slave in the past?

Raphael HAD to put his hands on him, but when my Durge refuse in the end to make a deal with him, Raphael took a little petty revenge, making sure Gortash knew about it, taunting him about the "deal" Durge wanted to do.

Gortash, didn't take it well, and he confronted Durge, angry as hell that Durge called a devil, THAT devil to resolve his problems, even after all the time he told him to never trust a their kind.

the strong emotions both had were so intense, that they didn't listen at each other, and that brought a crack in their relationship and the future lobotomy of Durge.

hope you like it ^^

Hi! I love your art, shadow of durge was amazing! I was just wondering how did Gortash react to the news of Durge’s “disappearance”?

Heeeeeeyyy!!!! so sorry for the late reply Anon😭 social life is a difficult thing....

thanks you so much for the compliment, that means a lot for me, and I'm happy you like my comic!

So, for answer your question, I think it broke Gortash's heart to discover that Durge was "killed" by Orin, a wild card he had warned Durge about,

and the worse is that he can't even avenge him, because the grand plan, the plan that Bane want, the legacy left by Durge need Orin as the chosen one of Bhaal, now that Durge is missing.

We must understand that it was the first real relationship Gortash and Durge ever had:

-Gortash is to manipulative and patronizing with others to had something healthy with 'normal people', - Durge killed every sex partners he ever had, never having a emotional connection this deep for fear of his father

They did work very good together, they felt free with each other, balanced, happy to not be alone again...but the negative thing is that they had a lot of emotions, and they repress a lot of traumatic shit that were meant to explose anyway.

they handled disastrously their first real fight, and it caused a crack in their relationship, and they couldn't mend it, because Durge got lobotomized and Gortash though him dead.

so, when the news of Durge death arrived to Gortash, it destabilize him, making him feel lost, destroyed all the plans they both had created, rule together, LIVE together.

the fragile love and hope they had begun to grow was rip away, leaving Gortash mourning what they had....but the plan must go on

...this is to important than one man, his god, his lost love demand it...

(pardon my English, I try my best with it)
