I turned your Baldurs Gate 3 characters into furries. Sorry. Actually no I'm not I won't pretend anymore.
General notes and specific species under the cut.
Astarion: He is a Ghost Bat! I like to think him being a vampire and being a bat are entirely unrelated, it's just a coincidence and he's honestly pretty mad about it. Ever since I first started playing bg3 I had him assigned as a Ghost Bat or a Spectral Bat in my brain, just arbitrarily, and I went for the former just because the colours work.
Gale: He's a Eurasian Lynx! I had to make him a cat. I just had to. And I trawled through the wikipedia pages for pretty much every type of cat and Lynx was about the only one that fit in my brain. The fluff kinda evokes his beard and hair I think, and I almost didn't have him have proper hair, just the fur, but in the end I wanted to be consistent about it so he got it. Peep the greying muzzle because mans is stressed and dying.
Karlach: She's a Bongo Antelope! I knew I wanted her to be some kind of large hooved mammal, because of the horns but also because their builds and general sturdiness really suit her I think. It was a tough pick, there's so many cool ones, and when sketching I was actually going to have her be a Mountain Nyala, but I changed my mind last minute just because the colours of the Bongo fit SO well. They're also my favourite antelope. Let me have this. She's so cool and she gets to be one of my favourite animals.
Lae'zel: She is a Pterosaur! My specific reference was Dorygnathus, but I was fairly loose on the details and so she doesn't super resemble them beyond the teeth and tail. I wanted her to be something prehistoric since the Gith are aliens or something (i dont know dnd lore that well), and so I wanted her to be in her own sort of category apart from the rest so, prehistoric! I considered making her a dinosaur but the idea of a Pterosaur just really appealed for whatever reason. Kind of parallels their dragon riding if they can fly, I suppose? And their Enhanced 10 Foot Vertical Leap.
Shadowheart: She's a Hare! Very specifically a Hare rather than a rabbit. Hopefully that comes across. I wasn't super sure what to do for her honestly, but in several scenes she has these big scared eyes, and she's generally just kind of having an awful time and being harmed by the gods for the whole game and I was like 'hey I know an animal that looks like it's been personally slighted by the gods' and so Shadowhare was born. There is a part of me that wishes I'd made her a cat for the warrior cats joke though.
Wyll: He's a Pine Marten! I just kind of got it in my head he should be a Mustelid of some kind, I'm not sure why, he just has that kind of vibe to me? Maybe it's the way he moves, maybe it's his skill at killing, maybe I'm just biassed because I love him and I love mustelids, who knows. I looked through em all and I didn't want one of the bigger sturdier ones like a Wolverine because. Strength stat of 8. So I went for one of my smaller favourites, the Pine Marten. The reason he's not an animal with horns naturally like Karlach is because I still wanted them to look out of place on him! I toyed with giving him wings (because they're cool) but ultimately didn't wanna stray toooo far from Pine Marten.
And that's all! Perhaps I'll get around to anthropomorphising the non origin characters, but who even knows. Halsin would almost be too easy. I could make Jaheria a cool ass fox or something though. Much to consider. If I do them then I'm gonna be doing my Tav Deimos and my Durge Lethe though. That's da law.

Not exactly an mlp infection au, but I had some previous designs I liked so I decided to make an au with them.
The town and seemingly Equestria itself seems to be shifting and mending a lot like how when Discord was in control but with a noticeable lack of silliness. The homes are misshapened, the roads are long and twisted, the nights are so fogged with darkness it's impossible to see into the distance.
Twilight seems unaffected by what's going on. Although her stress, lack of friends, and literally any pony is getting to her. She's trying to figure out how to fix this despite how nonsensical things seem to be.
Dandy Dazzlemind is a mare that Twilight assumes she has made up, sort of like an imagery friend. She's almost as nonsensical as the rest of the place now but has an upbeat attitude. She's also british.
Fluttershy is the first of her friends that Twilight has found. Allowing herself to purposefully be infested by parasprites to give them a... 'New home.' Her floor is covered in her own blood trail, and there are no animals anywhere. The only smell of rot seems to be her.
Rainbow Dash is barely recognizable to Twilight. Her fur and mane barely cling to her skin as it looks to be rubbed raw. Her wings are completely ruined but she hangs within the air like something is hosting her. She's still fast and strong despite her ill appearance, and she will attack.
Pinkie Pie isn't hostile at all. Regaining all of herself despite her uh, predicaments. She's been running all over the place, using her Pinkie abilities to try help Twilight in any meaningful way. Despite how difficult that is without a head now. She appears empty on the inside.
some more doodles:)
