#lythari monk

[spiritsong]

Here are some of my WIP Tavs:

Soluwae, a Lolthsworn Drow cleric. I've spoken about her a bit before; she's the leader of a fringe Lolth cult that exists in the Feydark. (Spoiler - she will eventually wiggle out of Lolth's stranglehold and reclass as an Open Hand monk.)

Ardent, fiend warlock pacted to Glasya, Princess of the Nine Hells (daughter of Asmodeus) and Lord of Malbolge. Classic story of a warlock hopelessly in love with her patron, patron only sees warlock as a tool, etc. This isn't Ardent's natural appearance; she was born with reddish copper skin, black horns, and glowing red eyes. Upon accepting the pact, Glasya changed Ardent's appearance to her liking. (Ardent is an Asmodeus tiefling, so this was basically Glasya going, "Sorry, dad, this one's mine.") Ardent has a snake familiar; I like to imagine that in a tabletop setting the snake turns into her preferred weapon, a scourge.

Ilenri, a Lythari barbarian-cleric of Selûne. (Wolfheart, of course.) Her clan/pack is very reclusive by design, located somewhere in the region where the Silver Marches meet the Spine of the World. Ilenri serves as a sort of "head cleric" or spiritual guide to the clan, which worships an earlier version of Selune. (Some say more primitive; they would say more true-to-form.) (Since obviously there is no Lythari race in the game, I'll be playing her as a Wood Elf)

Also cackling rn because I just realized they are all lesbians lmao I did not purposefully group them together for that reason, I swear

Hello! I’m Atlas (any pronouns are fine). This is my bg3 blog. It is 18+ so minors DNI. I like pretty much every ship and will reblog most content. I am always interested in how other people interpret characters and parts of the game, even if those interpretations don’t make it into my own head canons. Slowly putting together a list of my Tavs and Durges! I also post daily Tav Questions. All my dividers are by @cafekitsune !

Fic Masterlist

BG3 Character Profiles

Atlas - (he/him) Tiefling Paladin who is romancing Wyll. He can be a touch ornery but ultimately a good person. He was raised by a warlock on a farm on the edge of Rivington.

Kelandrin - (he/him) Drow Durge Paladin who is romancing Astarion. He is very evil, obsessive, and has a skewed concept of “love.” The only form of love he knows is religious submission.

Mavrin - (he/they) Half-Elf Durge Sorcerer who is romancing Gale. He is very troubled by his urge and hates feeling out of control of his body and mind.

Kalan - (he/they) Drow/elf ranger who is romancing Halsin. Says he doesn’t have a daddy complex but like…

Xyrra - (she/they/he) Lythari druid in lore but just plain elf druid in game. Romancing Shadowheart but it hard since Xyrra shapeshifts into a wolf.

Natlia - (she/her) Tiefling sorcerer/bard who is romancing Karlach. She starts off with a cynical streak because her fiancée was murdered and the Flaming Fist didn’t do jack to find his killer. She learns to move forwards over the course of the game.

Livna - (she/her) Drow durge monk who is romancing Lae’zel. She is looking for her next physical high all the time.

Vald - (he/him) Drow durge hexblade warlock who is romancing Minthara. He is very loyal by nature and easily molded by more dominant personalities.

Dumb Discourse Disclaimer

Anything where anyone says another person’s interpretation of a character is wrong. I just like seeing people be happy. Sometimes someone else’s happiness includes reading a character differently than you do. This includes but isn’t limited to: spawn batstarion, transcharacter readings, autistic character readings, tavxorigin children, straight people, lesbians, asexual astarion, sexual astarion, tavxraphael, top raphael, dad gale, women, things contrary to “canon”, and that ship you find annoying.

I do mean to finish up inktober at some point but I’m not mentally in a good enough place for most of the remaining prompts and i didn’t want to jump straight to slice right now. So here’s a different thing I’ve wanted to draw for a little while? I could probably have composed this better, but hey-ho. Potentially I could have thought of a more unique pose than ATLA’s Dragon dance, but I thought it was cool, and a nice inversion to put two female martial artists in there, have the firey one be the small one, and the airy one be the tall one, and such... It makes sense in my head.

Also, pro tip; don’t just continue inking when you start having a sneezing fit from your cold. You’ll do something stupid like jump and make one of the lines stupidly out from where it should be and forced to make a whole load of the lines super thick to hide the error. Not that that happened here at all. Nope.

In the Tangled: the Series art style, Ylva goes from being 99% puppy, to being 12 puppies in a trench coat. Literally.

Even her little crooked smile looks even cuter. Werewolf fangs look cuter. I didn’t even know that was possible. Anyone who knows me irl and has noticed a pattern in characters I tend to like should know that making me like werewolves more is hard. 

Honestly probably going to yoink the tone variation on the cheeks and so on for my own art styles, I really like how it looks and it’s pretty easy and gives a little more focus onto the eyes (for me at least). This is sadly the last of them I have drawn in this style for now, but if they prove popular for here, even without being actually from TTS, I’ll probably do more - including fan art, obviously.

In case anyone hadn’t noticed, I got the scanner functional again! 

I posted this a little while ago, but here’s a better version. Scanning makes things a little pale but personally I think paler > completely desaturated.

I got drunk. I started drawing. I kept drawing because once I make a decision when I’m drunk, that decision does not easily change. There are 5 drawings in this series of “I got drunk so I drew these”. They’re all sketches in the same pen on the same information leaflet so they should all be recognisable.

A drawing done a little while ago of my lythari (elf werewolf subrace) monk. When I take pictures of drawings, the colour always goes down in brightness, so I thought I’d also do some experimenting with how to make the colours stand out more. The first edit is by massively upping the saturation of colours, and doing a massive upward curve on one of the colour managing things, which has the downside of not being very faithful to the original colours, and making everything look super pale, but the colours are really bold and visible, and everything looks a little bit clearer. The second edit is by playing around with contrast and brightness. It doesn’t look so bright and bold but it’s more faithful to the colours I used and doesn’t make everything so pale (I also fiddled around with a second layer to get a bit of a framing thing going on that I quite like. It somehow both manages to make her look less realistic but more alive, which works quite well for me as I like my semi-realistic style on traditional stuff).

If you think one’s better than the other, I’d appreciate a comment saying so so I know which people think looks better and can go more in that route later.
