Another day I’ll add Halsin, Minthara, Jaheira, and Minsc. But for now I’m very happy about how this came out. ☺️

I posted this yesterday and realized I posted the version where I forgot to hide the variant layer and I just now regained the courage to repost the correct version ✨

Also I’m not feeling great today but I made a new profile pic when I was aimless drawing 😊

Dal finished playing through Expedition 33 and I have some fanart for everyone! First one has a few additions requested by folks who saw the original artwork I did. The other is different art I did over the weekend!

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

Watching Dal play through Expedition 33 and I’ve been so inspired by the amazing designs ugh!!!

Definitely out of my comfort zone and im pretty hesitant about them (def need improvements when im better equipped to do them) but proud I pushed through it!

Redo of Festival of Heroes

Decided to redraw one of my favorites from last year and honestly so proud of how far my art has gone 🥹😭✨ Festival of Heroes! 🎉

Thank you @johnlarian for an amazing experience and so many adventures ❤️

Below is the original I did last summer:

Couldn’t sleep last night so I turned a doodle into a full color finished thing. Astarion x Exagora ❤️

BG3 Custom Character Cards x Official Mini Figs

I know they aren’t the best mini figs to get pre painted but I preordered these with the intent of matching them with the custom character cards I made for my copy of Betrayal at Baldur’s Gate and I’m so in love with how it all looks! I’ve made the custom cards before just with a different art style, but seeing the new art I did and the mini figs all come together is so satisfying ✨🫶

3 variant sides cards in the set:

Cleric: Shadowheart Shar / Shadowheart Selune

Druid: Halsin / Kagha

Sorcerer: My Tav (Exagora) / Durge

Now just need to find mini figs for the rest of the cards. I also ordered a new copy of the board game since my current copy is very well loved. ☺️

I know I want this as a page somewhere, but maybe it could be the cover too? Idk I’m just happy I did something about the storybook bg3 idea

On today’s yee haw episode, Laezel doesn’t understand the need for hats. (I’m learning to draw her, IM DOIN IT WEE :D)

Astarion merely looked at the sun and immediately got burnt, I relate.

Also a colored comic?? My hand was CRAMPING.

JUST SOME THOUGHTS! I don’t really like the “go from the top up” advice on drapery/clothes - if you’re having difficulty try it like this!

YES I see the typo… I’m so sorry folks… I was in a frenzied rush to make this…… and I’m too lazy to fix it……

For those of you with BlueSky, I’m doing an emote set giveaway on BlueSky if anyone is interested! Details in the screenshot! Post is pinned on my profile there. ❤️

[thehayhaylstorm]

Would consider selling the emotes as pins on your Etsy shop? I know you don’t really sell pins but I would buy the Astarion one in heartbeat (probably the Karlach and Alfira one too!) I just love all of them! Your art is amazing! 🥰

Hi! I would be willing to look into it! Right now I’m shopping around for printing companies for art prints and stickers anyway so it wouldn’t hurt to look into pin options! Also thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Anyone out there have recommendations for a pin company? ☺️

[thehayhaylstorm]

What started as concept designs for a maybe bg3 children’s illustrated book project turned into an emote set! Happy I was able to finish the whole set this week 🥹✨

Happy Pokémon Day!
