(WIP) I’m SO proud with how this is turning out right now

[druiddaddyhalsin]

FINALLY working on some Halsin x Tav stuff. I still haven’t met him in game yet, but I can’t get over how lovely he seems. Can’t wait to romance the crap out of him.

[druiddaddyhalsin]

Finished Chilchuck. Have to admit I’m proud stepping out of my ‘comfort zone’ and still managed to create something I like.

I want to strangle people like this with black licorice vines

I need straights and gays to wake up and realize that this narrative we’ve had for the past near century that “the majority of people in the LGBT community are Gay/Lesbian“ is a lie. Most people are Bi/Pan. We’ve always been the majority, but even despite efforts by sexologists to introduce nuance into the conversations of flexible sexuality, the straights and the gay/lesbian community have consistently enforced the existence of an either-or binary of Homo | Hetero which has led to the false impression that Bisexuality is extremely anomalous even within the ‘anomalous phenomenon of queerness’. It isn’t, never has been, y’all were simply brainwashed just like straight people by rigid Western conceptualizations of gender and sexuality.

There being no monosexual (attracted to only one gender) companions is NOT ERASURE. Erasure is lying, censoring, ignoring, or attempting to re-explain the clear present evidence of someone’s identity. The companions are Bisexual/Pansexual from the jump, therefore there is nothing exclusively homosexual to erase. There is nothing in the game that indicates anything but perhaps a historical preference toward one gender over the other (i.e. Astarion making more observational comments about men than women that I’ve noticed) or known dating history (i.e. Gale’s relationship with Mystra).

I’m sorry if you want characters to be exactly Gay or exactly Straight, but when people complain about Bi/Pansexuality in media it stinks of the arguments once made by gay and lesbian activists until very recently that “Bisexuality is a political copout to appease the straights”, “Bisexuality is a lack of commitment to one side.” It’s the understandable fear that if Bisexuality is made more visible, then straight people will even more insistently weaponize our existence against gays and lesbians and argue “Well these queers can have relationships with the opposite sex, so why can’t you?” It’s not our fault as Bisexuals if the hegemony uses us as a weapon against our community without our consent, just like it’s not drag queens’ fault when the cishets use them to paint gay people as deviants.

Not only that but this insistence on these characters as being gay or lesbian is strictly due to this worship of gay/lesbian archetypes which are really just stereotypes. “Minthara is a lesbian because she hates men” is not groundbreaking girlboss empowering representation for lesbians, I don’t care what your little pink ribbon emoji handle has to say about it. “Astarion is gay because he’s flamboyant” wait until I introduce you to Lord Byron and Bi men who have freed themselves from the shackles of toxic masculinity. “Karlach is a lesbian because of that haircut and Mommy” Karlach is Karlach. She likes cock and cunt.

You can headcanon that these characters have a preference. You can even headcanon they are 99.99% into one gender and 0.01% into another. But no matter how many 9s you tack onto that .99% it’s still gonna be less than 100%. They’re still canonically Bi. Sorry that’s just how it is. That’s the reality.

Sorry. Another WIP. I just really enjoyed how the flats came out.

Halsin art coming soonish, along with my tav, but one last practice (wip) with another Chilchuck. He’s fun to draw and I really like this brush

[druiddaddyhalsin]

Halsin whittling things is all fine and good but he also canonically sketches anatomical subjects. Mans is an all around artiste. I NEED to see what those sketches look like.

There's 100% a little drawing of a snail with "saw a snail today... effervescent." under it somewhere in those furled pages.

[druiddaddyhalsin]

IF I EVEN PEEP DISCOURSE IN THE NOTES, YOU WILL BE BLOCKED! This is for fun and my curiosity!

Also, remember this is specifically meant as the player character is not an option.

[druiddaddyhalsin]

Having so much fun drawing now. Hope to keep that feeling going. Have a colored Chilchuck!

[druiddaddyhalsin]

[druiddaddyhalsin]

Todays practice with Chilchuck. I am FINALLY getting comfortable with simple lineart

Until I can understand how to draw Halsin, I guess I’m gonna learn to study/draw Dungeon Meshi style by redrawing a few screenshots with my ocs (and some friends). This one has my characters Angel and Samson. I traced over a Marcille for fun and to practice a bit but definitely time to free hand everything else!

[druiddaddyhalsin]

I had a dream about Halsin introducing me to anal sex, and I haven't been the same since. I'm AFAB, asexual, and have never been interested in having anal sex before, but I have NOT been able to stop thinking about that dream. Halsin is doing things to me.

[druiddaddyhalsin]

I realize why I love Halsin. He honestly reminds me a lot of my oc Samson
