BG2 Haer'dalis
Added 2024-10-25 21:07:35 +0000 UTCMy favorite companion in BG2, the wonderfully chaotic neutral Tiefling from Sigil, Haer'dalis.
Probably the most talkative companion in the game and I always love to hear what he says. Quite a verbose fellow being a bard (well, okay a Blade technically), but I love that his focus is acting and showmanship. I have a real love for lore about Sigil, and of course a Tiefling from Sigil is always going to steal my heart. I miss when Tieflings were just weirdlings. He has a marvelous romance/friendship mod that expands his interaction in the game, but last I heard it's quite difficult to acquire. I have backups of it if you ever need it, just let me know. I had to scrounge and scrounge for it a while back.
and hey, I made a progress gif! The B&W to color technique is really helping me rein in my colors in general. I wanted to do a piece with an involved background/gesture/lighting to push myself and see what I can do with this technique. I find myself stressing a LOT less working this way as I can really see where I'm going. I can struggle with visualizing an end point about midway through a painting so this really helps steady me.
hope this is interesting, and that you may give BG2 a try to meet this wonderful lad (and swoon whenever he calls you "My Raven")

I love the stitching lines, they look so realistic

I think that Bioware was too attached to his relationship with Aerie, which honestly was really something special so I get it.

2024-10-26 00:07:36 +0000 UTCI absolutely adored Haer'Dalis as well, and your artwork just makes me want to replay BG2 again!! It always makes me sad to think that his romance content was cut for the release of BG2, though 😔
