Hi alma!!!

Out of all your art pieces, which one are you the most proud of?

(I love them all to bits!)

HI!!! thank you for the ask Bim!

So far it's this Neeshka. I see her myself in my pinned post and think "wow she looks really cool". There was a good ref, bet it did most work for me - I haven't changed it much... the author is Pavel Apalkin, an amazing photographer.

But for now it's also this head of Venus de Medici. My previous studies look way worse, I even thought I just couldn't master better hatching... But then it started to look quite well, and I did this one.

I'm stuck in the loop of Altoholism, aka the crippling addiction of making alternate characters, in Baldur's Gate 3 and had a fun idea. What would have happened if Neeshka from Neverwinter Nights 2 was the Tav? I mean, she can't be Dark Urge because that origin is already fully lored out, but Neeshka didn't have much going on canonically after NwN2 was done--she could have traveled up to Baldur's Gate at some point and gotten kidnapped by cultists. Why not? So, here she is, in updated modern graphics glory!

I think I got her face shape and horns pretty accurate; I picked the hair and hair color that was closest to what was in the original game, too. The eyes are a little brighter, but I couldn't resist giving her amber-colored eyes that looked a little on fire instead of just brown ones, since she is a tiefling. None of the tattoos looked right for the speckles she's supposed to have on her forehead, so I compromised by giving her freckles and then a nymph circlet to kind of mimic the forehead markings. She's a rogue, of course, and a Mammon tiefling, since I thought that was fitting for her, and still worships Tymora. I think she looks pretty snazzy. =)

i'm realizing i like wayyyy more of the companions in nwn2 now that i'm an adult, which is making replaying it really fun

furthermore we're now at a troubled young woman count of 5 including shandra. plus their current paladinic chaperone casavir, whose hairline is visibly receding due to the stressors of corraling five girls who run hot/cold on liking each other vs. wanting to tear each other's hair out hour by hour

just gonna throw some sketches with my Sam and a little bit of Ran from @clericnortke

Can’t relate to the people who make astarion pick locks/disarm traps. In my party he isn’t allowed to even look at a locked door. Get out of the way I have advantage on all sleight of hand checks and can’t roll lower than a 23
