#briza do'urden

[1071png]

I have drawn more Do'urden family members (minus dad because Im not very good at drawing masculine looking characters T_T

Malice was my favorite, unfortunately she girlbossed too close to the sun U.U

[greenieart]

More little fellas! The Do’Urdens this time :)

[More: x, x, x, x]

Children of Malice

Vierna, Maya, Briza Drizzt, Nalfein, Dinin

redraw/redesign of the Do'Urden family (probably will draw Malice, Zak and Rizzen next)

design notes/headcanons under the cut

i usually just have thoughts about the character as im designing so for a few things i was like 'oh thats a thought' also yes i know children of malice is a CR thing too haha

-i wasnt originally gonna draw 'lolths embrace' since these are just my own designs not visual dictionary but like....facial markings are really cool and so i ended up looking up various spider markings (i only used those specific realworld spider designs for dinin, who i also gave darker marking as opposed to lighter) and briza

-i also prefer the idea that its not actually anything to do with lolth, its just a genetic marking that some have and some don't. also the proximity to magic/faezress theory (?) was cool so there's not a huge meaning here; though i guess im guilty bcus I didnt give them to drizzt or vierna

-maybe zak doesnt have them and neither do his kids which sorta spurs on the heretic theory when its actually just a genetic thing that has no actual bearing on lolth's favour

-the women wear more gold and the men more silver, however the men can wear gold; they just have to be wary with standing out more than their sisters. any given day could be too much and cause for a beating

-nalfein likes jewelry and decorations/makeup and is more flashy when he's away at sorcere. his ears are marked up from training with/lessons from zak, who frequently would smack his ears when he was displeased with him. they blend in with lolth's embrace and he will cover them with makeup or a glamour on occasion. i just got the sense he was somewhat insecure given how he kept challenging zak and was written off by his family as mediocre. i think he liked being at sorcere more than at the house

-drizzt takes out his braids whenever he can. he likes his hair loose

-so does dinin. i think a lot of his appearance is meant to attract attention and establish his individuality

-i've always given vierna bangs and a ponytail BUT i love her braids in the comic so I gave her those too. her hair is unruly, like drizzts. she has a couple visible scars as opposed to her sisters because she trained more with zak. he felt bad about it but a bit relived when she didnt make a big deal out of getting a bit marked up. malice was angry

-maya has markings on her ears, so she doesnt pierce them. she wears makeup but forgets its there, and sleeps in it and wipes it off by accident. since her hair is shorter she decorates with little spider gold clips

-i will die on the headpiece hill. og drizzt oldman swag

-compared to my older art of them (first fanart of the series! i knew i was in when i drew all the siblings lol) i think i changed nalfein most to be less ...square....i hit him w a yassification beam and gave him eyebrows

House Do'Urden (Daermon N'a'shezbaernon) Family Portrait - from left to right - Dinin, Vierna, Briza (the big bitch in the back), Matron Malice, Maya, and way off to the side is poor Rizzen.

Missing - Drizzt Do'Urden (possibly not born yet), Nalfein (possibly dead), and Zaknafein Do'Uden, although I doubt Malice would let him sit in on a family portrait if he were not actually house patron and relegated to weapon's master.

Both Vierna and Drizzt are confirmed sired by Zaknafein. Nalfein and Maya are confirmed sired by Rizzen. Briza, I think it's pretty obvious too, is not Rizzen's - it is speculated that Briza's sire was Uthegental Del'Armgo. There is, in my opinion, still a possible question of Dinin's sire - the best we have is a conversation between Zaknafein and Jarlaxle in the Generations trilogy where neither is entirely sure, and the best we get is Zaknafein guessing he might be Rizzen's, but doesn't actually know for sure. Zak even wondered if Dinin might be Jarlaxle's in the conversation. My personal opinion is that Dinin is likely not Rizzen's, and we may find out more in coming books.

Sparing Minthara has been a back and forth for me overall, but right now the biggest question is whether or not giant paladin lady is a big enough draw when the deterrent is her younger siblings pulling shit like this:

Briza Do'Urden- Legend of Drizzt (books)

Submitted by @mitsubinyuri

[petras-drizzt-corner]

so homeland like actually killed me. I'm deceased.

not even joking they are lowering my casket as I write this Spoilers below, friends!

my rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fantastic! even though it makes me cry, all 3 books of the dark elf trilogy will always be exceptional to me

So anyways I actually really like Masoj for some reason?? and like it's sad he's dead?? Shut up yes I know he's evil but he was so girlypop

But now Drizzt and Guen are officially besties! Yippee! but Zak's dead so like at what cost

I actually don't have all too much to say. I think it's an amazing book full of both an amazingly intriguing fantasy story and a very deep, thought-provoking narrative. There's so many lessons, metaphors, and figurative languages that Salvatore leave for you and overall, it's just a masterpiece.

[bramblepatch]

Do you ever think about how Dinin, Vierna, and Maya probably all had Briza as their weanmother? I think Briza and Nalfein are both old enough to have been handed over to an aunt or possibly cousin before Malice took over and aggressively pruned the family tree, but by the time any of the younger ones came along Briza was the only junior priestess in the House.

And like, we're generally pretty clear that Vierna is a big part of why Drizzt turned out as psychologically intact as he did. Being raised by Briza must have done a number on the other three. It's amazing Vierna was as capable of compassion as she was.

Im reading Exile now and- Jarlaxle may just become my new favorite so heres the scene where he bows to Briza (with his bald ass head) plus a pretty Masoj doodle

[web-spinning]

It's so funny to me that when Jarlaxle first appears Briza just...takes a moment to look at his bald head with disgust.

She's just staring down at him like

[winter-wise]

same. debatable whether I could fix her but I could have treated her right

I would have treated Briza Do'urden right
