Astarion ♥

Another Astarion piece, sort of a similar setup to my piece "Eternity," though more valentinesy. I just love playing with light with him. 

I have started working out the cozy snow day piece with him but haven't quite settled on the right look yet. I wanted to try something a bit softer and warmer with this one. 

This piece should make a decent desktop wallpaper despite being a bit tall!!

Hope you all are well!!!!

Get to know some of my vampire OCs and vote on one!

Hi guys!!

I'm very nervous about this so please be gentle with me lol. I don't have a ton of OCs like some people, but the ones I do have I love dearly and have thousands and thousands of words written about them tucked away in private. I'd love to be able to introduce you to some of them! I've posted some art of them before but as a person who does a lot of fanart it can feel like painting my own characters is a "waste of time" or something, so I would like to try it out.

Alistair ♥

Hello everyone and happy new year!!

I've painted Alistair to ring in the new year- he was my first game romance, and will always have a special spot in my heart. Dragon Age Origins got me through a lot, and as a huge introvert who has never had many friends, the companions in DA:O were really precious to me when I was a teenager.  I would really like to paint my Warden with Alistair and Morrigan eventually, as they were my absolute everything back in the day haha.

Merry Christmas! (Raphael's, uh, gift. NSFW!!!)

Merry Christmas, everyone!!!

As promised, Raphael's special present to you all in the form of a tastefully nude spread, perfect for wallpapers or coveting, as he would surely approve of. In fact I believe he will be hanging this in the dining hall of the House of Hope in time for the holiday festivities. Right in front of all of our salads.

Wallpapers of both the nude and gift wrap versions are available for download for Regular Human Bartender tier and up! ♥

Lord Enver Gortash

Aaaaaah, this nearly ended me but gods I am proud of it.

This piece was sponsored by an absolutely lovely patron (please feel free to comment, friend, so I can shower love on you here!!) who let me completely go ham on this. I was given a prompt/description of Gortash manspreading on his grand throne, dangling a collar for poor Durge. Oh, and the forget-me-nots were a suggestion I can't take credit for which I absolutory LOVE the symbolism for.

I feel like I learned a LOT with thi...

Vote to decide on a theme for a January Astarion wallpaper!

Hello everyone!! Sorry I've been quiet lately- working on commissions AND working on a Christmas present that's either going to delight or shock everyone.

I have a giant pin-up widescreen wallpaper of Raphael in the buff in the works that I will dramatically reveal to you on Christmas. It's what Raphael would want. Consider this your warning when that email comes through. 

However, I'd really like to do something similar for Astarion for Janu...

Orin the Red

Hello everyone!! 

Painted everyone's favorite Lobster Queen this time around... I've been wanting to paint her for a while, but hadn't quite found the vibe yet. I really wanted to paint something close-up so I could focus on her cool skin texture, and I just LOVE when a character has milky pupilless eyes. 

I wish we could have gotten more build-up for Orin in game, but I do think she is such a stellar character design overall. I'd love to read a novel about her, honestly...

Lazy day with Zevran (Dragon Age fanart ♥)

Oh, Zevran. Is it just me or was his romance in Origins raunchier than most of the romances in BG3? I was rewatching his romance scenes over while painting this and I was straight up blushing and looking away!! Nudity ain't all it's cracked up to be- I think a well acted/written romance scene can be quite powerful regardless of it. Leaving things to the imagination blah blah :P 

I decided to tackle leaded/stained glass in this one and I'm really proud of how the design turned out. ...

Painted an old flame... (some Dragon Age fanart to mix things up)

Hello everyone, sharing with you this evening (oh god it's 3am again) a painting I've done of Cullen from Dragon Age. I have loved him since the first DA game when I played a tower mage, and I think his romance in Inquisition is one of the most well-written RPG romances of all time. (Well, him and Solas, what a rollercoaster that one was, to put it lightly lol)

Dragon Age is a comfort game series for me, just like Baldur's Gate so I hope there are some of you in the same boat! I'd reall...

Hellsbound Hearts (a little fake book cover fun...)

hi there friends!!!!!!

As some of you may know, I'm absolutely obsessed with the cover artwork on old paperback romance novels. I find them to be utterly gorgeous in how unapologetically fantastical they are. I have ALWAYS wanted to try my hand at making my own, and this was finally the opportunity when the idea struck me!!

I hand lettered the title, which took a lot longer than expected. I actually have quite a bit of experience making my own fonts/doing lettering, but this vinta...

Lae'zel! (finally)

Hey guys!! I finally finished this Lae'zel piece. I have had several paintings of her in the works and just knew I needed more time to get her facial features down. I had really been struggling with her markings on top of her quite complicated skin texture as well... I finally found a way to make the markings work with this piece, and here we are! I'm quite happy with it. I'm calling this piece "Temperance." 

I love her physique and I hope I did it justice. ♥

Halsin at his secret spot... (Poll winner!)

hi guys!!!

Halsin piece is complete since he was the poll winner! I've been itching to play Skyrim again as soon as I can get a break, and I was inspired by one of my favorite mods for the game, the hot springs mod. I don't really know why I love that one so much, it just adds a lot of coziness to the atmosphere. I absolutely love the snow. It's such a safe feeling to me when snowflakes are falling, the sound outside is dampened, and the world is quieter as everyone hunkers down indoors...

"Reverie" aka: I had to paint mortal Astarion again...

hello lovely people!!

Sending springy blessings your way as winter starts to settle in. I've been desperate to revisit my mortal Astarion "design" again, (I know, he's more like a shiny Pokemon color swap haha) and I finally had the inspiration last weekend. I've been working on this piece on and off and was determined to use it to level up a bit background-wise. I'm especially proud of the mushrooms and the bark on the log. I think this should make a lovely wallpaper, it's a pretty hug...

a truly powerful challenge, friends. I am removing Astarion from this next poll because ya'll are feral and he keeps throwing the results. I'll never stop painting him but let's give another lad a fighting chance. 

choose your fighter. guide my hand. i genuinely have no idea where these votes are gonna fall.

some Gale for you all :3

Latest piece, some Gale love this time because I feel like he gets way too much crap. Someone said they were glad I didn't paint more Gale so I felt spiritually obligated to paint him again in protest. I love Gale very much. Calling this piece "Tryst."

As you can see, I became transfixed with painting his underpants. They are enchanted, after all.

Love you all, and overwhelmed repeatedly that there are people actually interested in my art. It's so weird. I am endlessly gr...

"Marked for Death" Poll winner!

Hey there everyone, I've just finished up this piece based on the winner of the last poll! Astarion and Cazador.

I think that it's a tragedy that we didn't get this storyline more fleshed out in the game. I know that Astarion was already suffering from main character syndrome (not complaining!) but I think it's obvious that Cazador's plotline ended up rushed. His castle clearly was supposed to go in the Upper City, not to mention the fact that he has that entire mystery puzzle in the ba...

Mass Effect is near and dear to my heart, and I wanted to paint Liara to celebrate. She is such a precious character to me, along with Garrus of course. (And Thane and Javik and Jaal and Peebee and- well, I could go on and on.)

Astarion: Eventuality

A black and white piece for you guys! It's going to be part of a diptych type of thing with an accompanying Shadowheart piece. 

The theme/inspiration is the concept of scrying, which if you don't know is a kind of divination done with a mirror in a dark room. (Sometimes a black mirror, hint hint haha) Both Astarion and Shadowheart have mirrors both literally and figuratively as major parts of their characters! And they are my favorites. ♥♥

Jaheira fanart! "Feral"

Helloooo everyone, bringing you some art of beloved Jaheira on this evening! I really liked her in the first 2 games, and at first I wasn't sure about her coming back for 3, but quickly fell in love all over again! She wasn't quite as close to my heart as Viconia, but I have to admit that Jaheira's tragic story really stuck with me when playing 2. (literally tearing up as typing this- sweet Khalid :( ) It's really incredible to see her story progress over so many years and stages of her life....

Astarion: Midnight (Last month's poll winner!)

Hello everyone!! Happy spooky season!!

As per the vote from last month, we have Astarion decked out in a more classic vampire look for Halloween. ♥♥

I know there's quite a bit of controversy over long haired Astarion, so I tried to meet in the middle a bit with more of a grown-out look for him as opposed so flowing locks. I tried a couple of different approaches on him, and I felt that really long hair on him just seemed so off when I painted it! I've also seen it done several...
