Baldur’s Gate 3 is doing its therapeutic overtime after the WoT cancellation - and who better to draw than a woman who gets her hottest gossip from rats?

dear Tumblr, never stop giving me ideas

She's be smashing this one

(still WIP)

Is there a word for a WiP that may never be finished (unless my brain suddenly plunges into the dark urge of making dark drow art for no reason at all) but remains in my messy procreate Stack?

Yet another Minthara WiP no one asked for 🙃

Do you ever draw something and think, 'ah, yes! this is what it feels like to be emotionally micro-waved!'? Cause in this house we exorcised burnout via art.

Camp clothes (the daily battle gear is just too much to handle) + her emotional support sword.

A new game has joined my favourites! I wish that more games were like Clair Obscur, Dishonored, Remnant, Prey, Control and BG3: good stories with creative gameplay and beautiful graphics.

So here's a sketch of my fave Expeditioner.

People playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are having their 'Wait… Jaheira is the PAINTRESS?!' moment.

Meanwhile, I’m bracing for her to sound like my Eastern European grandmother. Will I be disappointed?

Anyway. I made a lazy drawing. Don't judge my rendering skills. I'm tired of 'realistic' anything atm.

Some of my unfinished Mintharas. All in a different style because it just doesn't stick.

I will finish them all soon, for sure, but...

Jaheira x Astele FanFic Contest Results

✨(this is a long post)✨

First off, huge thanks to everyone who wrote, voted, read, and shared these stories. This was the first contest I’ve ever hosted and, of course, I chose the most niche ship, but you all delivered!

I can’t express how much I loved your submissions. Each one is wonderful and unique in its own way.

I want to give love to every fic, because honestly, I adored each one for different reasons:

💖Stay by Canis_Hades I adored the soft, tender feel of this story, like a deep, relaxing breath after a long road. You captured quiet peace so beautifully, and it hit all the right notes. I loved the mesmerising calm and the quiet yearning you gave the characters..

💖Jaheira and Astele (Jaheira x Astele) by Astrea LaFae Gorgeous introspection and layered emotion. You showed us Jaheira’s heart with so much care and clarity. I loved the depth and honesty in every line.

💖Stakeout by Lark (thecubspeaks on Tumblr) This fic was so sharp and FUN. The banter absolutely crackled, and the setting was brilliant. You nailed the chemistry and the grin-worthy moments honouring the characters in the most delicious way. I loved the energy!

💖Sweetness captures honeybees in time by TheEclecticLibrarian (marigoldbaker on Tumblr) What blew me away about this fic was its subtle, steady story with a deeply rewarding romantic payoff. You gave us love built on survival and trust, and it felt so true to the characters. I loved the softness with an edge and the dreamlike quality of the imagery.

Thank you again for making this so much fun! I hope you enjoyed taking part as much as I enjoyed hosting. ____________________________________________

💚💥And now… the RESULTS! 💥💚

🥇 First Place (Tied!), with 7 votes each:

 🎉Stakeout and 🎉Jaheira x Astele

Both Lark and Astrea LaFae will receive the A4 19 Fingers print and a choice of one A5 Jaheira print.

____________________________________

🥈 Second Place, with 4 votes: 🎉Stay

 Canis_Hades will receive their choice of A5 Jaheira prints.

____________________________________

🥉 Third Place, with 3 votes: 🎉Sweetness captures honeybees in time

TheEclecticLibrarian will also receive their choice of A5 Jaheira prints.

____________________________________

I genuinely feel like all of these fics were excellent, and I loved reading every single one.

Therefore, since I only have two A4 19 Fingers prints, I’ve decided to bump the 2nd and 3rd place winners up to 2× A5 prints (instead of one), if possible. Winners of 1st place will get first pick of the prints.

I’ll be contacting all the winners (that’s ALL OF YOU!) by email to arrange postage.

Thank you again for sharing your amazing work!

And now, have a look at the comments from the readers:

⚔ Stakeout: What did you love most about this fic? 

The intricate rituals and the ambiguity of the last sentence (what KIND of work, ladies?).

They were all great but this one had a great balance between description and dialogues, and their conversation was interesting, sweet and fun. Very in character. Congrats to all!

I liked the banter between Jaheira and Astele and how the moment pictured in the art was made to be both competitive and vulnerable. It fit the characters and their relationship well, I thought 

pre-relationship flirty restrained insane indecipherable energy is peak NF/Jaheira, let no one say otherwise 🏓

This is the funniest and heartwarming fic of these two ever

The humour

______________________________________________________________

⚔ Jaheira and Astele ⚔️ 🌹: What did you love most about this fic? 

I love the way the author captured both Jaheira and Astele!

it lends itself beautifully to the setting in the print: the aching, longing, comfort, and intimacy. a touch of romance amid the chaos. a stolen moment in time. delightful! intriguing! is there a sequel? 👀

I loved how vividly the emotions between Jaheira and Astele were portrayed, it felt like the illustration came to life 

___________________________________________________________

⚔ Stay: What did you love most about this fic? 

I love how the author has fully leaned into the romantic vibe without making it cheesy. It felt so natural and bittersweet. 

The flow of the writing style

The yearning is real

So cute! 

______________________________________________________________

⚔ Sweetness captures honeybees in time: What did you love most about this fic? 

It was really well written!! 

Aside from excellent characterisation, the prose feels like it captures the dreamy, slightly surreal vibe of the picture itself. 

Thank you! From Izz

P.S. I will also put the 19 Fingers print on my RedBubble soon, if anyone is interested in getting one!

P.S.S. Come and join Tracy's / THE one and only JAHEIRA secret stream tomorrow via Twitch! Don't tell anyone I said this.
