Shadowheart: Divine

A painting of Shadowheart this time! I really love painting her- she and Astarion are definitely, by far, my absolute favorites from BG3. I had it stuck in my head how she's always got piles of incense at her tent, as well as the Shar temples being packed full of the stuff, so I wanted to paint her with a censer. I also really love resin incense and all of the fancy holders for it so it seemed like a fun project.

I hope you guys like it!! Download as always available on this post!

Wyll fanart, "Wrath"

Hey guys!! Painted Wyll this time! All I have left of the main squad is Lae'zel!! 

I gave him some pointy ears and sharp teeth because he deserves them. I wanted to paint something a bit fiercer for him since it seems like a lot of people prefer painting his softer side. I also would like to do something like that for him eventually- I'm playing with the idea of having his horns shaved down Hellboy-style in a softer piece, as that seems like something he might do.

Hope you al...

Heartsteel Aphelios fanart

As some of you may know I was quite the League player back in the day- I played for about 10 years straight lol. I don't really play much anymore but I've been whining about them coming out with a boyband since K/DA first debuted, AND they put 3 of my all-time favorite champions in Heartsteel, so I had to do a little art for them. Aphelios is one of my most played champions. 

I plan on doing at least Sett and Kayn; my other faves!

Shadowheart: Moonmaiden

Another Shadowheart piece this time, inspired by some of the older artwork of Selune/Selunites! I love the description of Selune's armor being made of opalescent scalemail and I wanted to try out that color scheme on Shadowheart. ♥

I have a darker piece of her as well in the works!

Hope you all are well!

Entangled: Minthara fanart

Hey there everyone!

Thank you so much for all of the kind comments on my last post. You all are wonderful. I hope you are doing well.

I've painted Minthara this time around- I've wanted to paint a portrait of her for a while and finally got to it! 

Digital download below as usual for personal usage! I also will have this available as a print on my website shortly.

Thank you all again and much love,

Astarion: Reflection

Hey there everyone, this is the latest piece I've been working on. It's called "Reflection," and I had it sitting in my WIPs for a while but it wasn't quite the right time to work on it until recently. I'll have prints of this piece available on my form shortly!

As some of you may already know, my dad passed away this past Friday after fighting cancer for 3 years. I was there with him and my family during that time. He always really supported my artwork ever since I was little, and what...

Hey guys, I want to paint Astarion in a costume to celebrate Halloween!! (I am probably going to be doing spooky Halloweeny Autumny stuff all month lol)

You guys get to vote to pick! I'll let this run for a week or so. I want you guys to be able to have a festive Astarion to use for your wallpaper needs, lol!

Sweetheart ♥ (Halsin fanart, warning kinda spicy)

some Halsin fanart. People have been asking me to paint him since the game came out, and I couldn't quite figure out what I wanted to do with him. (many sketches with squirrels, lol)

This idea came to me because uh, I don't know. I wanted to paint something warm toned. Yellow is my favorite color, which I think surprises some people because I'm eternally dismally dressed in blacks and jewel tones. 

Hope your week is going well!

Who are your favorite vampires?

Hey guys! I wanted to create a poll to see who your favorite vampires are! Since there are so many new people here, I wanted to let you all know that I am a huge vampire and CRPG nerd all around, and I will likely be posting fanart and original artwork that revolve around all things vampirey (along with elves and fairies and such as I also love them).

I know many of you have joined my Patreon for my Astarion/ BG3 artwork but I just wanted to see where everyone is with their favorite vam...

Astarion: Numb (spooky piece as per the vote winner)

Hi there everyone, I have the spooky piece everyone voted for! I know I originally said I was going to go with something with claws, but honestly I got absolutely BITTEN by the lyrics of the song "Cold" by The Cure, and thus this piece was born. 

I think the lyrics suit him quite well, I've pasted them below:

Karlach: Heartsick

I'd been thinking for quite a long while that I wanted to paint Karlach, but didn't find the inspiration for it until a few days ago. I have a tendency to want to show the more vulnerable or hidden sides to characters, if you haven't noticed! (Not always, of course, but it's my favorite thing to do.)

There's just something particularly poignant about the way a character might act when they think no one is watching, or when the only person around is someone they love.

Which Astarion painting should I do next?

Hey everyone!! 

So! I wanted to do a poll to let you guys decide on a painting of Astarion! As I said before, I am going to do a fun Halloween themed vote next month, but for now let's test the waters to round off September with a look of your choice!


I'm thinking either Astarion with lucious long locks in a dramatic and elegant Interview with the Vampire kind of setting, OR a dramatic scary Astarion with lots of blood and claws and maybe a haunted forest kind of b...

Gale ♥

My latest piece, of Gale this time!! I've called it "Ephemeral."

I really loved the lighting during his Act 3 quest moment and wanted to capture it. 

It was quite difficult getting Gale's likeness- I've painted him once before but his features are quite different from what I'm used to painting. I hope you guys like it!!

I'm planning on doing something a little special next month for Halloween, and I will have a poll for you all to vote on. A hint: playing dress-up with ...

Eternity (new Astarion art post :P)

Had this picture of Astarion burned into my brain until I unleashed it.

Shadowheart: New Beginnings

Hey everyone! This latest piece is of Shadowheart in my own little imagining of where she might be long after the events of the game. ♥

This piece is dedicated to my husband, who has been sitting up with me over these many late nights of painting, subjected to Astarion after Astarion... 

Hope you all are doing well and taking care of yourselves. ♥

Before the Fall

I had started and stopped working on a pre-vampirism Astarion a little while back, but dropped it because I didn't love it. I saw some posts on Twitter talking about what he might have looked like, and I've been writing a fanfic about my BG3 character with Astarion, and have headcanoned him as a Sun Elf. I feel like he has the personality for it, and I'm a sucker for white and gold. I've had the description I wrote for him floating around in my head and decided to just finish the dang thing.<...

Candlelight (Astarion new art+wallpaper!)

Hey guys!! New Astarion art, big surprise. :P

I painted it a little wider this time so that hopefully it can get some use as a desktop wallpaper, because I've been asked about that. I won't do it every time I make a new painting, but for ones that are already going to be horizontally oriented I will try to keep it in mind. The ultra-wide version is Patreon exclusive. Though I think I will be using it for prints, but I'm not sure yet.

As always, downloads are for personal usage~ View Post

Prints are now available!!

Hey everyone!! I've done quite a bit of test prints and I'm confident enough to start offering them officially now! I thought it would take a while longer but I now have almost all of my shipping supplies in hand so there's really no point in waiting any longer.

Prints are coming!!

Hey guys!

Finally got my printer and have it all set up and ready to go! Luckily it was pretty straightforward. The thing's a beast and they don't exactly give the ink away, but I admit it's very fun to be able to manage my own print work.

After I get everything priced out per print, I will be more than happy to sell prints of past commissioned artworks if you have worked with me one on one before! I'll make an announcement, but let me know either in comment, DM, or email if you'd...

Commission slots reopening 4PM MDT!

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of communication this week about the commission slots!

I don't want to go into a huge trauma dump here but my father has been in the hospital for the past few weeks. (He just got out yesterday but admittedly things are getting kind of stressful on that front. Fingers crossed but trying to cope with the situation.)

I will be reopening commission slots (3 again!) this evening, and I should have the current pieces  all complete this weekend barring a...

Astarion warm-up sketches ♥

Some warm up sketches to do more studies of Astarion's face. The more I paint a character, the more complicated they seem to be to get right. Probably all of the staring at their face does that, and uh, I've been staring at Astarion more than my own husband lately. (We've been playing BG3 together every single night, and he keeps lamenting the fact that I'm not drawing Shadowheart as much. xD)

My mew printer is coming on Friday, hopefully, and I will be doing test prints this weekend if...

Catharsis (BG3 Spoilers for Astarion Act 3)

Hey guys, I just finished this piece. It's medium level spoilers for Astarion in Act 3 of BG3. I weighed posting this here as there is no real way to add spoilers to content that I can find on here. I don't really think it's a huge spoiler as there aren't really any identifying details.

This was a very emotional piece for me to work on- it's probably the biggest project I have ever tackled with the original canvas at around 40"x24". I've been going through a rough time lately, and BG3 h...
