did a thing for the #bg3wintergala! I assume the spawn would be looking forward to party in their underdark fortress post game, and where there's a will there's a way despite the mushroom issue
#art #BaldursGate3 #awstarion
Art of Awbonee and Astarion dressed for a masquerade, they are coloured in orange and teal except for the masks. she is wearing a blue animal skull with antlers as a mask. Astarion is leaning towards her, he wears a purple mask with horns and golden details, his face is obscured by hers. behind them there is an oval frame showing a dilapidated staircase in cold tones but there is a chandelier and candles on, and warmth spilling from a room on the side. superposed to the oval there is white lineart of a fancy chandelier in art deco style

An experimental commission for @val0rfell.bsky.social 💙
#art #commissions
A surreal experimental illustration of a woman half dressed in armor with greying, loose dark curls, her hands clasped in front of her bound by a rosary with The Fury's symbol hanging over the clutched gilded sword. The Sword thrusted deep into a snowy landscape like an obelisk, a river or road of blood carves a jagged path through the ice. Her bare skin peels away in noxious bloody streaks at the touch of a ghostly skeleton who holds her shoulder and whispers close to her ear. A second skeletal figure lingers on her other side, clutching a pair of dravanian lilies. Both figures hold a strand of her hair between their teeth. The window-like arch behind her capture a single eye, widened with horror, a single tear leaks from the white of her eye. Behind the frame in a reddened sky is a ghostly pale vision of her, with bloodied hands covering her face with guilt.

Oh, when I look to the shape of my heart
It's separated only by scars
That cut in and cut out
Oh, and leave me without
Oh, a heart that functions at all

#art #baldursgate3 #awstarion
four panels of digital art: 1. awbonee cleaning the blood off her neck and looking down thoughtfully 2. astarion lying on his bedroll with a metallic pot in his hand 3. a forest at night, with astarion walking towards scratch and awbonee 4. astarion and awbonee hugging some lyrics from "shape of my heart" by boah and the whale are written across the panels: "oh, and if there's any love in me don't let it show. oh, and if there's any love in me don't let it grow"

He was always a quiet and nice kid, so at camp he'd be in his corner drawing whatever animals he saw that day. Tho, at that age he was also very good at breaking into houses so... on any missions him being small and sneaky would be a huge advantage plus Faust would be with him
