Riven was born in Mezobaramzen and lived with his mother and twin sister untill he was 15, Then he was given away to a cult of wizards and sorcerers for some secret ritual

Tav Question

Where was your Tav raised? (You can be as specific as the neighborhood in a canon lore city or as unspecified as “a farm”)

Self indulgent WIP from today as a ✨ treat ✨ between playing with some commission stuff and working on my main project

[moetartart]

Sending this as an ask so I don't end up spamming your entire blog—you draw the most adorable characters!!

Oh my god thank you so much I really appreciate that ☺️☺️ I looked at your work and it's absolutely beautiful

[moetartart]

Been doing a lot more kinda grungey sketchy stuff lately and I can't decide if I like it or not

[moetartart]

Someone told me to do it so I did, not that I needed an excuse to draw my favourite vampire 🦇 still chronically obsessed lol

Plus I've just started ADHD meds and they definitely work, but I can't seem to pick what I focus on and so far it's been my comfort game 😅

Probably partly because I'm super anxious about them and run back to my silly little game any time I get stressed 🥹

TLDR, if anyone has advise on dealing with the meds crash please help because omg it's bad and I'm a wimp 😭😭 And sorry to anyone if my replies have been sporadic, things are a tad up and down <3

More Riven art because I'm addicted

She's an OC for a lil BG3 prequel comic I'm cooking up slowly. Her name is Piper 🥰

[moetartart]

One cursed to fear the moon, and the other cursed to fear the sun. But now thanks to the parasite in their skulls they are remind just how beautiful they can be 🌙 ☀️

It's been such a crazy couple of months with lots going on and a fair few chronic illness flare ups, but I'm still enjoying creating whenever I can and I've got so much in the works and I'm excited to get back to posting ☺️

Playing around with fanfics with these tow aswell :D

I love BG3 but one thing that always bugged me is wanting more body types. Especially for companions. Like Halsin doesn't have a dad bod? Really? And Astarion has ever done a push-up in his life? Like a swimmers body I could imagine but I don't think a 200 year rat diet is ideal for gym gains. Honestly Shadowheart too i don't think she'd let others see her sweat and ruin her eyeshadow.

Wyll, sure 100% he's doing sit-ups with Leazel and Karlach every night. Now Gale, i can definitely see him using magic to give him abbs and my head cannon is that is what the enchanted underpants are for.

Bless the modding community because dehydrated is now not the only body type <3

Good for anyone of any gender to know this info

Watching BG3 EA content while I work on an Astarion commission and omg I didn't expect to be hit so hard 😭 ⚠️ TW-Astarion abuse truma ⚠️

Like omg it's so upsetting 😭

Tav is talking to him about dreams and you can say it was an erotic dream, and he will say his was aswell. But you can do an insight and see that his expression tells he's lieing. He'll admit it was a nightmare he had about Cazador and he'll get all distant and say "I don't want to talk about it" and Tav tries to reach out to touch his shoulder and he recoils and asks you to leave him alone.

Then another night you can see him having a nightmare, his hands on his chest almost like something is on him and begging his master to stop.

When you talk about it Tav can pick the very messed up option of asking if he said master in the bedroom and obviously he gets extremely angry and threatened Tav

Just when I thought I was over this story I'm not.

Obviously I know EA is no longer cannon, and in a way I can understand why it was cut. If they were going for hiding his true intentions for longer it does give a lot away quickly. They changed the charecters a great deal and some changes I think worked really well. Such I felt his corrupt past kinda removed some of his complexity and I personally prefer it ambiguous. But some changes in my opinion watered the charecters down (don't get he started and Wyll and Halsin), especially removing lines that don't alter the charecter or story but instead add context. it does add even more context and I can't help but feel having that so early in the game would stop a lot of people dismissing his character as just an arsshole for no reason like they do because omg does it hammer home why he's struggling

It's really a shame how all the amazing tattoo artists who can draw Astarion so well (you) don't live anywhere near my country so I can commission them (you)

Love your art it's so amazing and the colors and the art and the Astarion. Wow. If you're ever with free time and willing to talk about, could you explain how you do your lineart? It's a little sketchy but very solid I admire it so much it truly is peak comic artwork

Thank you so much! Sorry about the delayed reply, been slacking on tumblr asks

I think my lineart is very dependent on the way I hold my pen and the type of line that's more natural to me. It also general comes from years of sketching light lines with pencil - a lot of repeated short strokes instead of continuous ones, etc. I never move my arm or wrist much when drawing, it's mostly my fingers, so it keeps lines short and straight.

I'm a big fan of the sketchy look in any type of art so I try not to do anything crisp or high resolution unless it's a job requirement

Have a random process video maybe that'll help understand a little:
