Figuring out where every companion fits in my Suddenly A Thing art school au doodle world is. Going to be interesting.

God's favorite princess who started it all is in general fine arts. She loves charcoal, painting feels like a necessary evil but it's secretly what she's always wanted to do.

Lae'zel is clearly in metalworking/sculpture.

Astarion is in textiles, specifically embroidering and fashion design/history. He has an entire brand built in his head. He works at an upscale fashion store part time. He judges EVERYONE.

Wyll???? Wyll's studying art history and debating going into curation. He's a trust fund kid and his father is deeply disappointed THIS is what he's doing with his college fund. He spends free time in the dark room. Darkroom photography has no place in the world these days, but he loves the classics and waxes poetic about 35mm film and its versatility - he does some oil painting over certain photos for flourish. It's phenomenal. He doesn't think it's that great. Everyone disagrees.

Gale is. Gale is the english major from the sister university who decided a double major is a good idea (it isn't, he is suffering) and hurled himself into abstract/surrealism. (It works very well in his favor when tara steps in his paint and walks on the canvas. He had a three hour anxiety attack and decided he did it on PURPOSE.

(Part of me wants to slam him into dark room photography and i will not elaborate. Maybe he sneaks in to hang out with wyll. He cannot be good at everything but he NEEDS TO BE GOOD AT EVERYTHING. He's a recurring subject of wyll's work.)

Where the FUCK do i put karlach. She's on a roller derby team outside of school. But what does she DO. She's in there somewhere but WHAT DEPARTMENT.

Dammon shares classes with Lae'zel bc that's The Most Obvious Thing. He's a natural.

Isobel? Pottery. Aylin doesn't go here. She's just The Girlfriend also on the roller derby team and hangs around.

Rolan is obviously into impressionism. He's the manet of the school, trying every artist's style in a desperate attempt to find his own despite cal and lia both knowing he HAS his own style and it's GORGEOUS but he just can't see it himself.

Alfira is also in the textile department. Astarion hates everything she makes. She plays music at local clubs on the weekends. Lakrissa is her bartender girlfriend who studies sequential art.

I need to keep this going, I'm on to something here.

But where the FUCK do i put KARLACH.

Edit: 9 fingers is the drug dealer. I went to art school, i promise you there are so many gatherings based solely around that, she'd be there constantly. Jaheira and Halsin are figure study models. Jaheira probably has her hand somewhere else in the school, she'd definitely have something to do with installation pieces, I'll get there let me cook on that one. Minsc is. Fuck. I need to figure that out. We're GOING SOMEWHERE HERE, WE'RE MAKING THIS HAPPEN.

Someone is in the jewelry department it's someone it's SOMEONE maybe lae'zel dips into it bc metal casting NO IT'S MINTHARA. MINTHARA. YES. I WILL JUSTIFY THIS WHEN IT'S NOT 2AM BUT TRUST ME IT'S MINTHARA. Intricate wire wrapping with gem stones she gets from 9 fingers, she has 5000 tools for it and no one realizes how violent whitesmithing tools are but I've BEEN THERE TRUST ME and the wire wrapping gives big spiderweb vibes, it's perfect, i love it, yes, she's in cahoots with astarion on a future design house and the bickering is CONSTANT.

Fun fact: i drew more art school shadowheart

[chainsawmascara]

Listen, i know everyone goes for goth/punk au shadowheart, but hear me out: art school shadowheart. She gives me big art school vibes. The most pretentious hipster art student vibes.

Enjoy my silly pen doodle. Idk where my pencil is.

At Least We're Still Trying

[chainsawmascara]

Ah, yes. The four companions I'm vaguely confident in sketching and the sketchbook with water damage from an unknown source.

[chainsawmascara]

The jury is in, she does glassblowing. Bonus jackass in the corner.

In my defense, i wasn't going to include the horns at first.

Edit: bonus jackass number 2

Continuing my sketch flop post era bc if i don't keep posting at least one of the (several now!!!) Things i draw a day, there is a chance i will stop drawing on a daily basis and art will escape me for another decade.

[chainsawmascara]

Tsk'va, i can't even trust myself

[chainsawmascara]

That's it, that's my entire personality.

[chainsawmascara]

Goth girls bein cute.

[chainsawmascara]

When i break out the semi hard pastels or acrylics/gouache to do Actual Art, do not ask me what I'm making.

I promise you already know more about it than i do.

[chainsawmascara]

What am i drawing? Idk, but I'm making it shadowheart with cropped leggings under shorts and no one can stop me.

[chainsawmascara]

I lied, this is it.

That's it, that's my entire personality.

[chainsawmascara]

They're girlfriends dormmates.

Lae'zel is in the metalworking sculpture department. My 1am no effort sculpture doodle is a fucking mess, no references were involved in this disaster and i just remembered lae'zel's scars, I'll do better when I'm not sleep deprived, this is WORLD BUILDING.

Listen, i know everyone goes for goth/punk au shadowheart, but hear me out: art school shadowheart. She gives me big art school vibes. The most pretentious hipster art student vibes.

Enjoy my silly pen doodle. Idk where my pencil is.
