A bunch more Sylvanian customs! ...Well, some of them are Sylvanians. The characters shown from top to bottom: Jenny (tarantula, formerly baby bunny), Mariana (eel, formerly Baerenwald/Forest Family mouse), Morgan (rattlesnake, 3D printed and hand-flocked figure, original 3D “Snake Sylvanian” template by Yapsulli on Reddit), Dayton (opossum, formerly Angelina Ballerina “Henry” figure), and Dayton’s nieces and nephews (also possums, formerly meadow mouse babies). We’ve got a rather motley bunch here! The last photo is a group shot of all of the customs I’ve made so far.

Anyway, these were some pretty difficult and experimental figures! Lots of epoxy clay to turn the baby bunny into a tarantula and the Baerenwald mouse into an eel, and some weird materials like Mariana’s fin hair. Overall not everything turned out exactly how I hoped, but it was a great learning experience and has given me a lot of confidence working with very heavily customized figures.

an unforeseen side effect of my boy discovering the power of friendship, and the fact that emotions and human connections are good actually, is that it comes with simultaneously discovering that he's at least lowkey attracted to two types of people exactly: those who project confidence on the outside, but are sweet, soft, and in need of comforting on the inside (not entirely unlike a frightened animal), and pretty men with long, brown hair looking at him through lowered lashes with big, dark eyes.

a downside to that is that his newly found friend group is half one, half the other, and Gale kind of sits in the exact middle of the Venn diagram like an appealingly plump toad on a rock.

Look at him. The thought behind this face is very much an ".... oh, I'm not indulging this thought. I'm burying this so quick, and so deep, that it suffocates immediately."

0:59

thoughts:

This is a redraw of the cover of Danger's album 太鼓 (Taiko) with my OC Theta. I've wanted to draw this for a long time, because I love this album. I also consider the track 0:59 to be Theta's theme. I've associated it pretty strongly with them for a while.

I don't talk about my OCs much, and that's mostly because I've scrapped and re-written their backstories many times and I'm not satisfied with them. However, the main throughlines of their stories have remained pretty consistent. With that said...

POV: You're Rhode and your weird friend just showed up unannounced at 12:59 AM after being unresponsive for days

Also here's a version with chromatic aberration:

realized most of my DnD characters who own a magic ring have them for essentially the exact same reason

The most jarring cultural shift for Alice I think is that her specific skillset & knowledge base now marks her as a legitimate business woman, and not a skeevy suspicious criminal-type.

hey Isatol, hope you're not too busy. Since you said you're pretty hard to kill, that made me wonder about the scar on your torso. I get if you don't want to talk about it but it does have me curious :3c

"I don't know why you'd be interested in an old scar-"

It seems this might be a sensitive subject just from how aggressive his tone is.

"Clearly it didn't kill me, so I'm not sure what it could possibly have to do with me being hard to kill. Iron still hurts.... The only reason being hit by a car and multiple motorcycles isn't leaving damage is from the fact they're not pure iron."

"Good luck getting your hands on anything that could harm me..."

random OC ask: say your OC is a love interest (in BG3 or a relationship-heavy game format of your choosing) — what does their first romance or "deepening the relationship" cutscene look like?

Ooohohooho this is a fun one, why not both?

I think Siobhan’s act one story would be her overcoming her fiercely independent streak. Think a “you don’t have to shoulder your burdens alone” type thing. So her romance or relationship scene would reflect this.

I really like the idea of playing with wild shape for character development so the first relationship cutscene would be the player finding an unfamiliar cat (you can recognize her with an insight check) and approaching it. You get these options:

1. Shoo it away (-3)

2. Hold out your hand and beckon it closer (+3)

3. (Passed insight) “Hello Siobhan, having a nice stroll? (+5)

4. Attack (she leaves the party)

5. Leave (-1)

All of these options lead to her dismissing her wildshape and answering you, the scene ends with her either surprised you recognized her and were kind to her or grumpy at being dismissed (she’s crying out for attention by turning into a very cute cat and being passive aggressive about it). After this one of her camp idle animations can be her preening as a cat at her tent.

Her first romance specific scene would be after the tiefling party like the others (with the potential to be triggered early with high approval) Your dialogue would be pretty standard hero fare like

“I’m glad we were able to balance the grove, silvanus must be pleased”

or

“It is shameful kagha turned to the shadows but we did what must be done to restore the grove”

The romantic lines you would get would be something like

“without you by my side it wouldn’t have been quite so easy”

and

“perhaps I could keep you by my side a little longer tonight?”

She would answer “perhaps you can, if you can find me later” (still dodgy and passive aggressive) or if not interested “being by your side during the day is quite enough for me thank you” (dodgy and aggressive aggressive)

The scene itself would be finding her on a secluded spot of beach and going skinny dipping in the moonlight, very cinematic and all. Her ending dialogue would be something like “had I known you were a man/woman/hero of these talents I would have let you stick you nose into my business sooner. Now let’s get some rest.” (entendre intended, she really is grateful to have found a friend in you but she doesn’t know how to tell you).

Iisting out the actual ranks of my charr because I haven't actually talked about that yet

Firstly, Rugan: He starts out as a regular soldier who gets promoted to legionnaire after the Smokestead incident and then to centurion in the early personal story. The centurion promotion was mostly empty, iron knew they were going to send him as part of a personnel contribution to the orders and promoted him so their contribution looked more impressive than it actually was. At least he still gets a cool office in the citadel, even if it mostly collects dust during his years away doing commander things

Falx: He's the legionnaire of his own warband, unfortunately. Gods rest their souls

Cara: Regular soldier, but kept under watch to ensure she doesn't start eating people or something

Ibex: Long time gladium, new flame is trying to bring him back into their ranks but he'd rather sulk in the woods

Teghror: Olmakhan, rank not available

Even though I'm barely 5-6 hours into this playthrough so far, playing a character like Iona, who is genuinely cunning and insightful (she has to be, with her 17 cha and her insight- and persuasion proficiency), is already proving to be such a fun way to do the Astarion romance.

I was just reviewing the "stargazing" scene I recorded today, and I felt it in the moment too, but especially in retrospect, it's so clear that her genuine charisma just always keeps him slightly off-balance.

He goes systematically through the routines, the tried and true methods (doing something that's generally considered romantic like stargazing, draping himself onto a bedroll in a casual, but inviting, seductive pose, weirdly negging her about her chin?? which is honestly just funny??, standing just a touch too close, giving her a taste of interest but withdrawing immediately, etc.), only.... none of them seem to stick.

At one point he clearly thinks he has her, when she all but purrs about how they should get to know each other, and he seems to take it at face value, ready to pull back to keep her interest, but then.... she laughs???? And tells him she was joking???? His face, for a split second there, it looks so.... blank. The smirk melts off immediately.

This weird look, there for less than a second, is so telling. Especially with the following line being a hollow laugh and a "Hm? Yes! Of course, me too."

(C'mon, we both know you were not joking. I can see the "....shit" behind your eyes.)

Then he excuses himself immediately, and you can almost hear the "WHAT the absolute FUCK was THAT." rushing through his head.

Like... he sees that she's toying with him, calling his bluff, and yet, she doesn't push back, and does it in such a playful manner, one he might even call.... nice??? Is she being nice to him, for failing to seduce her??? Hells, she finds the empty flattery funny, rather than insulting???

Even early on, it really seems as if he's trying to hold onto his playbook, but with a character like her, whose charisma is natural rather than learned, it just... falls flat, it doesn't work. But it also kind of does, because she seems... entertained? Interested? It's frustrating how he can't seem to get a bead on her, yet there's also a little something about this weird uncertainty that makes the game... almost fun for him too. For the first time in a long time, she's not just a target, but she meets him halfway, if not a step ahead.

Her reactions are actually unpredictable, even this early. He tried and failed to trick her, and instead of being furious, it's as if she's egging him on. Instead of "stop that", she's saying "you can do better".

So far, Iona thinks that the reason for all this flattery and coyness is literally just that he's a man with a slightly over-inflated ego, who finds her attractive and wants to get into her pants, but thinks her simple enough to believe his pretty, practiced words. It wouldn't be the first time, and it wouldn't be the last. And she's willing to entertain his game, because, well, why not, you know? It's not like he's bad to look at, or like she's looking for a relationship (she just got out of a 35 year one by setting her house and husband on fire for gods' sakes), sleeping with another be-tadpoled adventurer would just be a bit of mutually beneficial, convenient fun.

It'll not be until the Shadowlands and the whole mess there that she realizes it wasn't "mutually beneficial" at all. That he told her pretty lies, but not because he wanted her to spread her legs, but because he wanted to be important to her- so that she'll protect him.

Gah, this relationship is going to be so fun to roleplay. I'm already having such a good time with it.

There is a Lous and the Yakuza song, "Masquerade", that I keep thinking about with them. Especially the part where it repeats the line "Before you'd speak to me/take off your mask" in French and Spanish in a kind of back and forth, which I feel really works for them.
