Using my art is fine WITH CREDIT (I'd greatly appreciate if it links back to me!)
And I got a physical copy of the strategy guide for like $15 and I lucked out with the shipping costs ($5), so it only cost me $20!

Compared to getting the art books for the LotR movies or any of the WH40k TTRPG handbooks, these Arcanum books were absolute steals!

I was surprised that I was able to snag a copy too! I think the shipping to my (admittedly rural) location was more expensive than the actual book lol~

I first tried giving Pillars of Eternity 1 a shot back in January. The story had me hooked but omg my brain just doesn't compute with "real time w/ pause" gameplay.
I got so overwhelmed I had to put the game down.

Now, the open beta for Turn Based Mode is finally out and I've been having a blast!~

apparently reddit has character limits for comments. and here i thought that would be the best place to ramble unfiltered since i have quite the motor mouth for fashion headcanons 😔

[Sept. 16, 2025] Did I not post this Z'an doodle here? oops...

one day my WIPs will return from war

I totally understand that, and kudos to you for giving it a shot!
I'll admit: I do not play this game "fairly." My personal life is also just too busy to bother with "legitimately" leveling up. I play w/ the Unofficial Arcanum Patch's menu and just max my stats from the start by adding skill points-

Fast and loose Loghaire scribble from last night~ #art

decided to separate this into three images because I keep forgetting how much images get crunched on this site

Yup! In-game, it's Azram's Star, a weapon you can acquire in Arcanum's throwing mastery quest. It is very much an homage to the Glaive from Krull lol~

I wanted to draw Rí'an in an outfit more closely based on her in-game equipment, mixed with Victorian sportswear because she's gotta be fit for adventure! 💪

Aww, thank you, Peach! I'm glad I captured that old timey feel, because my reference was this hairstyle diagram from Godey's Lady's Book (1863). I've also been playing around with various LUTs to spice up my grayscale sketches, and this LUT gave me that old faded photo look, but more blue~

An art request from tumblr: Lianna Pel Dar and Jayna Stiles riding a dragon. (yes, I'm aware dragons are extinct in present-day Arcanum, but let's just have fun here)

I wasn't thinking about the posing in the previous pic bc it was a warm-up sketch. I guess the logical answer is that Rí'an leaned over Virgil's shoulder as he sat, but that's boring. So here's the real answer~

I ended up growing quite fond of this sketch throughout the day, so I adjusted some details and cleaned up some lines that were bothering me~

Rogue Golfer, a game where the Lord Captain must face off against the Lord Inquisitor (both having their loyal caddies in tow).

Something like those cheesy 1980s romance novel book covers, such as these examples here: www.ginsburgillustration.com/romance
Not asking for anything beyond your comfort zone, but I have a soft spot for these over-the-top painted bodice ripper covers
(I'll respect if this ain't up your alley, tho!)

I'm reposting the individual panels as a quote repost (and with alt text!) because posting them in a comment kind of hid the context-explaining comment oops
