#he loves the gith

[blushouyo]

finished act 2 !!

[astralprisms]

Finally some art of Xa'rok's illithid form! Courtesy once again of the ever-patient @greseadraws! Thank you for always honoring my Emps requests and being such a pleasure to work with! And thank you for bringing illithid!Xa'rok to life!

Xa'rok and Emp off on adventures with D'jaxia in the astral sea.

D'jaxia was abandoned for being born lame, but Xa'rok, an exile in their own right, stepped in to raise her. The lame leg doesn't cause D'jaxia any discomfort and she has five other to compensate for balance. Those who make the mistake of underestimating her don't live long enough to regret it. And, well, her friends have to eat after all. (:

I think Lae'zel would really enjoy having her nails painted. she wears warrior makeup all over her face and neck, she has those lovely little braids, she took the time to bead her hair. i think she likes having a little bit of polish to her look

Old man Gith

Just Voss things

[jacqcrisis]

What a good line. He's so genuinely bothered someone believes he's capable of being better than he thinks of himself as he's spent weeks justifying doing something Pretty Bad for entirely self-serving reasons.

10/10. Good game. Good character.

I gotta say: I love Vanic!! (Especially the way you draw him, I had no idea it was possible to make githyanki cute) Also, since I saw you do requests... Would you be willing to draw any of the origin characters from bg3? I just think it would be cool haha

The whole reason Vanic exists was because I wanted to see if cute gith boys were possible, and I like to think I succeeded in my efforts. It might have something to do with how tiny and squishy I draw him, but... Eh.

I love him <3

As for the other origin characters... Well, I gave it my best shot!

First up was Stari and Lae'zel! (keeping them in the same style as I draw Vanic, for consistency)

I managed to fit Gale, Shadowheart, and Wyll all on one page. They were very fun to draw. I don't like drawing ornate armour, though, lol. Can you tell?

Then Karlach, the best girl!! Her clothes were a pain to draw, too, but that's what I get for trying to draw at 11pm on a work night 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bonus "origin characters" in the forms of my two Dark Urge people!

Alulin, my half-gnome, half-illithid bard who's doing her darndest to resist her urges while pumping every stray illithid parasite she finds into her head. She must have one hell of a headache, but that doesn't stop her from getting down and dirty with Bears and Mind Flayers at every chance she gets (which is two so far, but it never hurts to hope). she was much easier on the eye at the start of the run, but Halsin still gives her kisses whenever she asks (which is frequently 👀), so she can't be that bad.

Then there's T'uin, a half-drow sorcerer, who is embracing his dark urges with enthusiasm. I can't play with him for too long at once because I always feel so bad doing the mean stuff. He is very pretty, though, so I can put up with him for short periods. He's currently being fought over by Minthara and Lae'zel.

Fuck it what if not all ripped 6 pack abs. What then.

[emmodii-mode]

Just finished my first playthrough of BG3. Romanced Lae'zel, but ending up turning into an Illithid because the idea of making Orpheus or Karlach do it didn't sit well with me (or my character).

I told Lae'zel to leave with Orpheus in the end (I heard she wouldn't stay with a ghaik anyway, which she's valid for, but also, it doesn't feel right to ask her to stay when I know how much her people mean to her). And like-

Her face before she flies off---

She looks so heartbroken and sad.

everyone say hello to zor’ik the gith rogue!

he’s githyanki by blood, but he was raised in the outlands by the sha’sal khou, a radical faction of allied githyanki and githzerai who want to see their people reunited. his primary parental figure growing up was a githzerai man who he calls his father, but he was cared for and taught by many other githzerai and githyanki over the course of his youth. he can speak both dialects of gith and write tir’su in either style, though his speech has a unique accent characteristic of the outlands in both dialects. whether he refers to himself as gith, githyanki, or githzerai mostly depends on his mood — he’ll say githyanki if pressed to reveal his blood heritage or githzerai if questioned about his upbringing, but otherwise, he generally prefers to just stick with gith and let people make their own assumptions about the specifics.

he spent his childhood in xaos, the gate town that leads to the plane of limbo, living in the githzerai embassy that the sha’sal khou uses as their base of operations there. as he got older, he started to visit sigil more often via portal and eventually got involved with a revolutionary faction known as the hands of havoc. he had a love of fire and a talent for working with it since he was young, and he wasted no time putting his skills to use in service of a larger cause. of course, he still also loves fire for its own sake and is always looking for the next opportunity to watch something burn. preferably something that deserves it. the name zor’ik is a shortened version of zor’ikith, meaning “fire spirit”, given to him not for the talent he would eventually develop but because the sha’sal khou found him when he was barely a toddler after the fire that killed everyone else in his creche left him alive and inexplicably unharmed.

his general demeanor is equal parts surprisingly boisterous and terrifyingly level-headed. he’s not nearly as stoic or formal as the average gith, but it takes something truly earth-shattering to shake him. acclimated to both the chaotic rhythm of city life and the literal chaos of limbo all around him, there’s not much that shocks him and even less that makes him lose control. once he sets his mind to something, his githyanki force of will and githzerai self-discipline is a deadly combination for anyone who stands in his way. and now? this so-called absolute who dared to stick a tadpole in his eye is the first name on that list.

[mariana-oconnor]

The githyanki are the absolute worst. I don't know why, but every time I end up fighting them it's ten times worse than any other fight I have.

Just... they're so mobile. They can heal. They immediately and enthusiastically go after the weakest members of the party. They attack far too many times.

I'm on Explorer mode and all the other encounters mostly live up to that. But the bloody githyanki. Every damn time.

Although I have them to thank for hearing the 'Gale! No!' line from my Tav... multiple times. Man was practically a yo-yo in that fight.

[astralprisms]

Kresh time.

[pagesofkenna]

beat up an old man in bg3 tonight, gonna beat up another tomorrow night (read: some idiot with 666 hit points thought he was hot shit so i burgled him and am going to use what i got to doublecross the guy that catfished me)

[waterdeepthroat]

i know i kinda have a reputation to uphold as an astarionposter but like. he's not even my fav character in bg3...

[imperial-daffodil]

Daff's face when Astarion tells them he only has one complaint: that they did not want to share the first Tadpole they communed with.

Tavs are so cute.
