And that is how my poor bard got voted into a relationship with a wizard when I had no plans for this to happen whatsoever. Multiplayer letting everyone vote on chat options is painfully hilarious at times.

Yes this was months ago when the options were making out or violence. Yes it's now March. Shush.

I can be really bad at <insert art word here>tober, but I can't deny a smol salad Halloween. Ive in some Baldur's Gate 3 garb, as resident wizard Gale Dekarios (with hat). Picking up the costume while I continue to figure out how to draw Gale.

White-haired boy number 3, Caelis Virmoira. At least Caelis is taller than Ive and Ilex, and not literally a rogue. Although like both of them, apparently he has a taste for handsome casters (which legitimately was not my fault this time).

I figured that for a BG3 multiplayer campaign I could make a silly character (our sorcerer had green and purple twintails) and almost made a giant tiefling bard before asking my friends what race would make for a good himbo. My friend immediately said high elf, and well. Here we are. He's expanded far beyond the phrase "himbo bard" and is giant cinnamon roll who does his best to rein in some of his murder hobo companions.

The usual apologies for forgetting how to draw violins.

I do enjoy that my brain has been wired to be like "it's October, time to scribble on everything." Another quick sketch between reports and meetings, although bits of it annoy me. Oh well. Ilex's design amuses me for whatever reason, but I guess I'm also not mad at the Inquisition buttcapes.

October reminds me that I can draw in my notebooks during meetings at work and make it look like slightly more than nonsense. Quick scribbly inks to get myself to post again hahahahah

Ive <3

I really need to stop drawing in one corner and then the opposite one orz

I got trapped in Baldur's Gate 3 hell, oh yes I did. Put the damn game down for a little bit to try and put my two Tavs to paper real quick. Pragmatic, adventurous, has too much fun with fire for a white dragon sorcerer Tavylin, and adorably sweet and awkward cinnamon roll of a bard, Caelis.

Tav I made for solo and wanted to blow things up (yay no sun sensitivity for drow); Caelis spawned from a 4-person campaign where I decided it would be a great idea to play the charisma character and built him on the phrase "himbo bard." Make of that what you will.

Goddamnit.

Number five came up a bit faster, as it turns out.

The funny part is that I didn't originally intend to grail Spacebar, she just won me over immediately. She got a little bit backseated for gold fous since I wanted to instant max punch sun boi, but she got there. She caught up quick though; I'm just the one behind on sketching this orz

[xaeneron]

Do you ever just...get the urge to draw one of your characters in comfy clothes? idfk.

Just learning what buttons do zzz

[xaeneron]

YE NUMBER FOUR.

Early coins on NA/EN screwed up my timeline massively, but I deliberately saved just enough grails and a full set of fous just to super this dork as soon as he became permanent. Super punch boi activate \o/ Super #2 after his lostbelt god eater half-brother, and technically ahead of his normal self who was missing NP levels orz

I'm going to have to do another one of these real soon huh

[xaeneron]

The hell am I doing here? Oh nyo

New year, new computer, new realizing that I had to redo everything after building it...just a quick sketch of Ilex to get used to my tablet in a new set-up. Hopefully will have time to clean some sketches because I'm a month behind on some of them orz

[xaeneron]

Me: I don't have any new grails to sketch for Inktober, right? Cool.

Background: [sad carrot noises]

Somehow I completely spaced on my own grailed chariot carrot, whose debut banner I failed two years ago and whom I have been chasing since. In my defense, I only got him directly after last October and grailed him almost immediately, so my brain lumped him in with the rest like Spacebar (who did sneak in), I guess. I said I owed him a sketch for it though, so here he is. (◕ᗜ◕✿)

Inktober compilation, scanned~

Messing with them a little bit as usual, but since I used a different (blue) pen I just kind of left it. All of the posted ones with multiple appearances from Ive and Ilex, plus a couple of extras - one of an OC that I didn't post for whatever reason, and two (Ilex and Karna) that I drew right after October ended because I had day long meetings and thought it would be fun to throw them in.

[xaeneron]

I remembered I had this old-ish sketch scanned and decided to shade it instead of working on the backlog of things that I had planned. Whoops orz

Self-indulgent sweet fluffy things as usual~

Happy Halloween, friends <3

One last questionable phone photo for this year, and Ive loves Halloween. I know Ive dressed up as Ilex last year as a joke, now we're just going all in and letting Ilex get in on it too. Ilex is, in fact, taller than Ive, but...that doesn't say much when Ive is tiny.

[xaeneron]

Speeeeed. Sort of. I usually draw the units I've grailed since last Inktober, and now that I think about it, I now owe Achilles a sketch, but I otherwise spent most of my grails this past year hyper-grailing a certain catboi. And ran out of grails because I had it planned perfectly for next year and then they dropped coins early orz.

Guest appearance from Theodore because I haven't drawn him in an eon.

[xaeneron]

I decided to dig out my normal pens at least once this year, lmao.

I think one of my favorite headcanons that I've never done much with outside of personal writings is Ive's fear of loud sounds that he can't really touch the source of, like fireworks. Once Trahearne figures this out, it's pretty commonplace for him to sit with Ive and cover his ears to help him calm down. Usually with cuddles, ofc.
