Did you hear about INZOI? Yeah, the unbelievably pretty life sim coming out this year. So, the character editor is available right now and I did a thing...

Of course it's our beloved vampire (with an alternative hairstyle because limitations). For my first attempt, I think he turned out alright.

If you want to play around with him, here's the link to my upload:

20 hours of painting condensed into a minute. I'll never get enough of his stupid face.

Well, I've given up on Astarion's clothes. This may have been a bit ambitious for my first pixel art piece ever (and maybe a bit of a big canvas, lol). I'm posting this anyway, because I'll probably never finish this in my lifetime, so here ya go.

Astarion’s simple plan

Here u go have a freebie

I have some context for this kinda. It was the first comic I doodled way back because I wanted to fill in the blanks after certain Act3 cutscenes. Then I forgot about it entirely oops

My cat does this thing where he sits and waits for lunch (automatic feeder) for hours. At first my partner was worried, 'is that normal', 'is he stressed', 'should we feed him more'.

No, no, I assured. The cat was rescued out of a trash can and is just very afraid of food scarcity. We feed him three times a day and he's stayed in survival mode for years now. His hunger is as neverending as his fear of starvation is.

And, of course, I can't help but think that way about Astarion, who hasn't known when his next meal would be for two centuries.

How he must be initially quite cautious about his first few meals, secretive and afraid of anyone finding him, of Cazador's cold grip landing on him at any moment. They're sporadic, unfulfilling, never enough.

How when he first feeds from Tav he finds himself unable to stop-- how it must have been overwhelming, finally tasting the blood of a thinking creature, realizing that it tastes unlike anything else. It's delicious, it's new, it's the meal of a king after eating like a pauper.

How, after that night, Tav can offer their blood to him, but it's never a guarantee. They have no reason (or so he sees) to offer him anything. They could be gone in a moment's notice and he would be back at square one again: starving and afraid. The meals are nice, the moments together are nice, but he's cautious, wary, and ready to run.

How bandits and creatures are found aplenty along their journey, but the opportunity for a fresh hot meal is not. He bites them, leaps onto them to draw what he can, but it's such a shallow drink, is it truly enough? Again, he worries that tomorrow may not bring another taste. That this, too, is just another stopgap for a hunger that knows no limits.

And of course, there is hunting. How he finds the odd animal as they travel, but it's not the same. Nothing fills the void in the same way after he drinks the blood of thinking creatures. Like he mentions, it's a delectable vintage to the cheap swill of animals. He wonders if he could ever eat another rat again, he hopes he won't have to find out.

Each and every day, he waits up on edge. He thinks to himself, is this the day that I return to starvation?

No matter how well he's fed, blood is still, and will always be, at the forefront of his mind. And satiation eternally out of his grasp. No matter how much he feeds, no matter how often he feeds, no matter from who or what type of creature-- he will never be full.

He is that cat, standing at attention, waiting, wishing for a meal he doesn't truly need. Because gods know when his next one might be.
