💙 Hello talented people who create fan art and fan fiction! 💙

It’s probably just some random fluke of my dash tonight but I’ve been seeing a lot of discouraged people wondering why they aren’t getting more interaction, or followers, comparing themselves to other artists etc- so I wanted to share my perspective, for what it’s worth.

I’ve been doing this thing for a while where I seek out, and reblog, BG3 fan art that is under appreciated - doesn’t have a ton of notes, etc - so visual artists are more my niche than fan fic but this applies to you writers out there too I think.

I’ve noticed:

Interaction does not always correlate with quality ✨

I see a ton of art each day of all skill levels, mediums, and subject matters. There is a ton of amazing stuff out there that simply does not get notes.

More importantly:

Every post is someone’s favorite 💕

Your post may not make you tumblr famous but I guarantee you someone loves what you make. I can reblog something, see most of my followers not interact with it, then see one follower reblog it absolutely losing their mind in the tags because it’s the perfect piece for them. If you’re not finding that person, the problem is most likely circumstance and not you. Maybe they’re in a different time zone than when you post, blame tumblr’s messy tagging and impossible search function- not yourself!

Sappy as it sounds, consider me your biggest fan if you want! I’m grateful for how active the BG3 community is and love seeing your talent and growth as artists. I genuinely enjoy every post I like and reblog. Need a pick me up? Message me and I will shamelessly gush about how much I love your work and mean every word of it. 😊

Your art and writing are appreciated. Sometimes that appreciation isn’t as loud or as visible as it should be, but that is not a fault of you, devoted and talented people. 👏

Thank you for sharing your creativity with us all!

the ranger and the fighter

I’m working on a full set of these right now while also getting to those tes requests in my inbox :)!

[katastronoot]

could i request an erabenimsun preparing for a raid? like applying warpaint or equipping armor? (asking again because i mixed up the tribe names in my previous ask lol)

I tried my best to include Molag Amur type decor in this it’s so different from my usual colorful grassland Ashland pieces :)

[katastronoot]

Y’all keep sending in requests this is really keeping me motivated :D I was gonna close them but what the hey why not? Send me domestic prompts throughout Tamriel

[katastronoot]

Foraging for mushrooms?

I just had to draw a bitter coast scene for this one <3

[katastronoot]

Heyo! Can you list what you're okay with drawing and not okay with drawing?

Hi! Okay yeah I should have done this a while ago <3

Okay with really any type of character/creature. I will do nudity if it is tasteful. Not so sure on gory stuff my style is just too sweet for that xD

NSFW it depends

I won’t draw nude minors or anything like that should be self explanatory

I’m always up for challenges. So like when I take requests feel free to drop anything. If there is something I’m really not comfortable doing I will let you know. I’m pretty lenient :)

Thank you anon!

[katastronoot]

Are you still doing requests for domestic scenes? (If not, that's all good and hope you have a good day!) If so, how about a very old Ashlander grandmother braiding her great grandchild's hair, while teaching them the history of their people through song

this is such a sweet one :3

Ty for making a request!

[katastronoot]

For art requests something with a Dunmer wedding? I’d love to see if you have any hcs for them

so I started like three different sketches for this request and finally settled on this one. I feel like in the ashlands they would do like a variation of handfasting with prayer beads. Maybe the wise woman has a set that is passed down from the tribe and each couple adds two beads at the end.

Also colorful patterned robes and gowns

[katastronoot]

Okay I’ve got 3 more requests in the inbox. Will do those and then close the requests for a little bit so I can work on other things BUT will be opening more domestic scene requests soon. Might even do throughout Tamriel this time :)

[katastronoot]

Oooh, perhaps an ashlander caring for their guar, or a house dunmer (Telvanni perhaps?) brewing some potions?

I love that guy in the back

What a lad

Thank you for requesting!!! I’m having fun with these :)

[katastronoot]

Hi!! For the request of domestic scenes, a dunmer knight on laundry day, with a couple furry friends trying to help? These scenes are so cute, I love the domestic ☺️

this is probably one of my favorite drawings ever uwu Ty for requesting :)

[katastronoot]

For your domestic scenes request, how about lighting the lamps at dusk in Balmora.

Or if that's not domestic enough, Drarayne Thelas sewing pillows (in honour of everyone's fave fighter's guild quest).

Thank you <3

I looked up some old photos of lamplighters for this one ^-^ Ty for requesting!!!

Also it was a real struggle to decide which to do…my girl loves her pillows I will have to draw her sometime xD

[katastronoot]

Hi!! I just wanted to say your art is stunning and I think you are incredibly talented <3

Thank you so so so much!!! 🥹❤️❤️ I appreciate it. I really really do. As this is my only job it can be frustrating at times and I find myself getting discouraged. I have always clung to social responses as like fuel I guess. The nice comments feedback and reblogs help me out and I get so excited to do art for people and share it around :) you are appreciated ❤️

Fargoth x arrille chilling in arrille shop after hours of course (they’re married)

Nothing like some tea to ease the long day

[katastronoot]

What about an Ashlander woman preparing a meal with young kids at her feet looking for samples? Amazing art btw! Your portrayal of domestic scenes is unmatched

One of my favorites 🥺 living the ashlander dream

Ty for requesting!! <3
