Whoops I was late for Mermay--

maybe the lute can help knock those brain worms loose (in game Kas did end up keeping the lute Alfira offered, but has never used it.)

I just wanted an excuse to draw the adorable bard that we all seem to love, her design is just far too cute

Progress 06 ‎November ‎2023 - 02 ‎June ‎2025

There we go, it's not precisely in chronological order, but it's pretty close. There's obviously a lot more for all the comics and things but I picked a few of my favourites!

This will help me in future comics, rather then make me worry about consistency in older ones. Seeing it makes me proud of my progress with Quin! There is still work to do (action scenes oh god) but wow nearly two years right?

If this is your introduction to my work, HI I draw and make stories for my Baldur's Gate 3 Tav, Quin. My page is predominantly dedicated to BG3 fandom and things that remind me of my character. If you'd like to know more I have a pinned post that goes through most of my work, or there is the 'digital art' tag that you can search while on my page.

If you have an oc that you have been working with for a while, this was a lot of fun to do. Even if I didn't draw Quin, but had screenshots of him, I feel like that would be an interesting perspective too! If you have a go please link back to me I'd love to see it!

Cheers for everything!

It came to me in a vision. Original under the cut

Not as impractical as you think, Wyll.

Florenta the Garroter - I know some might think her thin and whippy with that moniker, a strangler lurking in the shadows, but I can't help but imagine behind every big, mean woman is an even bigger even meaner woman. For Karlach - that's Flo.

Karlach here is still wearing her hair short and has both horns, probably just early enough into her time in Avernus that she's not quite fully proven herself, but knows better than to trust anyone. She's a fast learner. She's also got just above a grunt's level of infernal armor, patched together enough that it's starting to show her character (the design based purely on her concept art.)

Flo, like most cambions, would be low on the social pecking order of the hells. With their half-human heritage, they're seen as weak and inferior and have to work twice as hard for any (already precarious) social standing (explaining a lot why both Mizora and Raphael are like that (tm)). While a lot of cambions get into the common mortal soul-based wheeling and dealing of the hells (some of the main social clout as gold has little value outside of novelty and excess) to carve out something for themselves (making them frequent warlock patrons) I'd like to think Flo perhaps has a keener interest in flaunting her own strength serving under Zariel in the blood war. Surely, she seems mean enough to do so. She's by no means exempt from a culture of dangling something needed for a price in front of some sorry sod (such as offering soul coins to Karlach for the the price of tormenting her with the sad stories of their origin), but she's lethal with the garrote and strong enough to serve as a guard or front line fighter (which we also see is a common occupation for their type on the nautloid).

I was bored and decided to do one of those art style challenges using my OC/Tav Arthur. These were fun to draw, and I think it was good practice to leave my comfort zone, although boy, did I struggle with the ones that required digital painting. I drew the arcane one over a screenshot of Arthur’s in-game bg3 model :,) .

And here is the comic I've been throwing out so many spoilers for all this time!

We asked Gale - where does his love for everything Netheril come from?

And he went and answered… and continued answering… and answered again Let's sign up for the lectures~

Replaying Baldur's gate with my husband and company. Shadowheart and I have bonded over being the only other sane people in that game.

4 photos that aren’t selfies!

It feels strange to post something unrelated to the interest that has a chokehold on my blog, but I was tagged by the lovely @quinthebard. So, here are some photos of mine that aren’t selfies- aka every picture on my phone/camera. 

I went with a theme and picked some pictures I took on walks that make me feel like an old lighthouse keeper.

Coast with rocks.

Shore birds.

More Shore birds.

Coast with rocks and birds. + a bonus doodle

I don’t know who to tag myself, but feel free to do this & tag your own mutuals or friends if you want.

[wirywyrm]

I still have plans to finish the drawings I started for the other BG3 villains, but I think I’ll post them separately. I will likely draw some Tav stuff in between just to give myself a break.
