#astarion reference

[slackerranger]

I have but ONE pic that like enough of my Astarion cosplay

I’m not even posing, and it is embarrassing as fuck

I’d like to remind y’all that is was 36 degrees hot (95 Fahrenheit) and I had FAKE LEATHER PANTS

Ah and from this magnificent fair I did not buy anything but I brought home a fantastic DERMATITIS thank you very much

So to ALL Astarion cosplayers: don’t wear the pants if it’s hot. It’s not just the heat, it’s the heat, the sweat, the dust, everything will collect in those pants.

I know what you’re thinking: “if he can do it I can do it too!!!”

No darling.

Our beloved vampire does not have a heartbeat, he does not sweat. But JUST LIKE US he does not like the concentrated power of the SUN in his pants, for a whole day.

You want to wear a good cosplay? Find a cotton alternative for the pants. Or suffer the consequences like me. It’s been 2 days of dermatitis, I got some medicine prescribed today :) I want to kill the sun

Yeaaahh twilight reference (again)

while I was drawing I was specifically thinking about this dynamic of A!Astarion and professor Gale. They are so cringe I love them

Halloween’s coming around the corner so i wanted to see what the companions would be like going to a haunted house maze together 🎃

It was MEEEEE in the shop for the weekend. SHOP

actually maybe it is fucked up that astarion’s story is about allowing yourself to be deserving of love even if you are fucked up and traumatised and have a deeply complicated relationship with sex / aversion to sex and some people’s response to that was ‘if u act nice to the hot sassy vampire u will Fix Him & be rewarded with sex uwu’

Astarion has zero patience

Height comparison chart based on the in-game models

Dragonborn Durge is 6'8" or 204cm. Halsin and Minsc are 6'7" or 200cm. Karlach is 6'4" or 192cm. Devil form Wyll is 6'1" or 185cm (the horns net him ~2 in / ~5cm!) Human form Wyll, Astarion, and Gale are 5'11" or 180 cm. Jaheira, Shadowheart, Minthara, and Lae'zel are 5'7" or 170cm.

The models are a little bigger in Blender than they would be in the real world. Devil Wyll was 6'7" going by his model in blender, which is just...Not Correct.

This could be because my extracts scaled slightly wrong when i imported them into blender, or the in-game scale is slightly larger than the real world, or they're just modeled a little taller than they're meant to be to make them look biggg. (my vote is that i fucked the scale. rip y'all's estimation of my intelligence.)

Whatever the reason, I knew that they were all scaled wrong in the same way. This means that instead of giving up a futile pursuit, I could do math to figure out something more reasonable.

We happen to know that Astarion is "approximately 5'11"."

I used that as a baseline. So, with our scale established, we get something like this:

Other notes:

Shadowheart/Jahiera/Minthara, Minsc/Halsin, and Gale/Astarion/Wyll share the same heights because they use the same body model.

I'm decently certain that githyanki share an armature with elves/half-elves/drow/humans, so even though the gith body model looks different, Lae'zel is the same height as the other gals to line up with their armature's bones.

I didn't include hair or head accessories (like Shadowheart's) in the total height (that's cheating).

I did include Durge's and Karlach's horns in their overall height, but Karlach's really don't add much (maybe a cm or 2).

Average height worldwide (on Earth) for men is 5'9"/ 175 cm, and for women is 5'4" / 161 cm, so they're all quite tall, but mostly still within a standard deviation of the average.

Except for Karlach, Halsin, and Minsc, who are in the 99.9th percentile for height! They're not tall, they're huge.

what Sceleritas Fel says about each of the companions if the urge compels you to kill them:

Astarion: "He is so afraid. So, so afraid. Of everyone, besides you, who he ought to fear most."

Gale: "He thinks he might end the world. But you and I could do far worse."

Karlach: "She thinks she is finally away from the monsters. Poor fool."

Lae'zel: "She came all the way to this world, just to die here."

Shadowheart: "The gods fight over her, but is she truly that special?"

Wyll: "He has his own devil, just as you have me. Aren't you a foul pair?"

Wyll (if he's been turned into a devil): "He is an insult to the name of devils, posing as a monster with that sickly good heart."

and then, later, when you're arguing not to kill them:

Astarion: "You like him for more than his looks, but he will never believe that. Why not make him a pretty corpse?"

Gale: "He would forget his god for you. But you won't for him, of that I know."

Karlach: "She's as good as dead anyway. She won't be saved by the power of love. Not yours."

Lae'zel: "She is only using you. Don't you know that?"

Shadowheart: "She was starting to trust you. The only one she ever has. Pity it's coming to an end."

Wyll: "He adores you so blindly. Like a pup. Don't you find it sickening?"

Some colour swatches for the BG3 companions. Feel free to use as for art purposes, no credit necessary of course (though reblogs are appreciated!)

I made the pdf of Astarion’s Dagger, the one he has equipped early in the game (the one he uses against Tav, during their first meeting… if you know what I mean 👀 ).

It’s free because all Astarion’s girlies deserve a little dagger, as a treat :)

Let me know if you make it from scratch :)

As info: the total length should be 39 cm or 15,35 inches. You can adjust the pdf scale using your printer, according to the length you want it to be.

It was honestly a bit hard to draw, since it’s not a knife and the lines are not straight, but the center line IS straight so (I guess it’s one of the few straight things about him… anyways) I had to balance the lines a bit

It has a place in my heart because it is the first EVA foam thing I made 💖 so I think sharing is the right thing to do… hope it helps! 🍀
