Confession: Call me a Mindflayer Tadpole, because I want to be inside of every single one of those bitches.

Throw the aliens off their game with way too enthusiastic attitude about the whole thing.

Okay so for my current art project, my class has to do art history, meaning that we choose an object (or person, something not copyrighted) and draw it in four distinct styles from history that our teacher picked out. For us she chose

1. Surrealism

2. Pop art

3. Impressionalism

4. Cubism

I'm in a "everything I draw must be bg3 related" phase right now so uh. Have Ansur in four diff styles ^v^

from some lovely and sweet dialog from the epilogue party that I am sad they cut from the game

You may resist, but it's too late. You already embraced the powers the parasite gave you. You leveraged them to manipulate, to dominate, to survive. Your nature is no longer your own.

Mayhew failed the save to resist the Emperor's offer, and I have never been more pleased at a consequence! What an amazing moment.

Timelapse, line drawing, and character musing beneath the cut.

This choice!! Or rather, this lack of choice!

I love, love, love how failing the save made Mayhew's own will ambiguous, even to himself. He didn't want to be changed, he didn't want to forfeit his humanity (gnomanity)...or did he? He resisted. He opened his mouth to say I will not, but the door to his mind was already unlocked, power welcomed in. Mayhew will never know who unlatched it.

Also, while this is a Gale run -- Mayhew and Gale make each other worse in the most devoted, well-meaning way; the heavens will rue their names -- it also kind of feels like an Emperor run. A subtextual badwrong not-romance.

The Emperor and Mayhew are allies of circumstance turned intimate enemies. The Emperor listens to Mayhew's every thought, gives protection which Mayhew needs, offers advice and temptations which Mayhew takes. Mayhew likes the Dream Guardian; Mayhew cannot shut the Emperor out. Mayhew would see the Emperor dead, if he let himself think about it, but he would miss him after he was gone. And, of course, Mayhew is too curious for his own good, and the Emperor is full of answers.

For the two of them, partial ceremorphosis is a kind of consummation: what could be more intimate than shaping someone from within and without? Metaphorphosis is a gift, by one telling, and a horror story by another.

You are exquisite, the Emperor praised. Mayhew will never know if he became so by his own will.

(He failed the save by one (1) point.)

Timelapse! It includes all the silly things I drew for my friends, including: 1 tonsure, 3 neon signs, 2 cat emoji, 1 crotch face, and the emperor's armor drawn with my left hand. Spot them all!

Lines!

I don't usually work primarily with line, but I love it. In some ways, it's easier than painting, and in other ways much harder. I find I can't fudge things as much with linework as I can with paint; because the stroke is smaller, I have to be more specific. Even if I abstract details away, I need to understand the underlying form until I know what I am abstracting. It was fun having to be so rigorous.

Day 2 - Illithid

For the second day, I decided to make my power-hungry husband. I think I really talked very little with Astarion (during Act 1-2) despite never taking him out of the party, and apparently, the reason is that he didn’t appreciate me stopping him from eating the tadpoles. I hate him

At first, I wanted to draw my Tav with the mind flayer, but artistically this idea was cuter.

Wanted to make a non-b3 'flayer OC for a while now and finally said fuck it and made a funny little squid.

Her name's Miette and she used to be a seladrine half-drow circus entertainer! She exhibits near-total partialism of personality/memory, still her extremely kind and jovial self even after ceremorphosis.

Her colony...begrudgingly tolerates this, as it consisted of a very sparse amount of runaways who only had a single mature tadpole to spare...

Goretober 2024 Day 15: Parasite

I have a lot of weird feelings about parasites. Specifically, I don't LIKE them. So something really fast and simple.
