My tribute comic to the Ancients.

It didn't really come out as I would have liked but I'm glad I finished it.

The text is from the song "What Angel Wakes Me" from the Titania fight in ffxiv, written by Masayoshi Soken. Making this comic was only possible through the support of my patrons.

I am excited to announce that @nxoxart and I have joined creative forces to bring you a project that we both think you will very much enjoy.

As big enjoyers of both BG3, Crimson Peak, gothic aesthetics and vampires - we'll bring you:

A fan project that will combine the story of Guillermo Del Toro's gothic masterpiece with the stories of the vampires Astarion and Nymea.

In a mix of comicpages, illustrations and pieces of writing we will retell the story with some new twists.

We are very much excited about it and hope so are you! If you want to follow the project, you can follow each of us or the hashtag #CrimsonPeakProject!

Idea: Nxox / Poro Writing: Nxox / Poro Art: Nxox

Goodness me! An ankle of all things! I'm happy to announce that I will be making a new series of drawings based off of the movie Crimson Peak with my OC Nymea and Astarion.

Watch this space for epic gothic romance between two vamp spawn.

Hi hi, since this is nsfw feel free to not answer publicly. I drew ur beautiful boy Drow a few weeks ago with the little red demon thing in the dark.

I saw u were okay with nsfw and sketched out an idea of him and my vampire spawn oc Nymea. Now, she is another drow (gasp) but she was brought up on the surface from the age of 12, then got vamped as an adult (not by Astarion).

I definitely think they'd have a bit of hot headed dynamic, racism on drows part and angry bitter reaction on hers followed by slapping and uh... Well that's how this idea was formed. Hope it's okay with you if I finish this?

As always love your art so much. You're a huge inspo for me.

HOPE YOU DON'T MIND IF I *DO* REPLY TO IT PUBLICLY CUS MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (thank you for censoring it even if I wanna peel that little carrot off my screen like a sticker to see what's going down here)

YES FEEL FREE TO FINISH IT and please let me know if you do 👁️👁️👁️👁️ I love this concept, I don't know much about drow's (the race in general) attitudes towards vampires among their own but it got me thinking about it now!!!

“Oooo, big words. Where did you learn them?” “Between your boyfriend’s legs, because he actually shuts up and lets me blow him in peace, instead of constantly sassing me.” She jutted her chin at him. “If it bothers you so much, you shut me up, then.”

Dead Man Talking, Part 1

Rolls back in thirty eight years later with an update

[way-to-the-future]

Arum - Has your muse ever been religious? Are they now? Can they be swayed into a faith? || Asphodel - Does your muse have regrets that they wish they can fix, but never can?

Castor rolls his eyes so hard they seem as though they might fall out. “Absent the familiar pedantism of those smug, Garlean, or both, no, I don’t put my faith in the twelve or any other conjured nursemaid. At best, what frightened people call gods are absent tools of the ancien régime applied assiduously and often to grind the noses of the smallfolk further into the muck;” he draws in a long breath through his nose, sighing with the beginning of his next word. “Or they are malignant, unsympathetic specters who thrill to see their so-called charges subject to the sword and other humiliations much more cruel. I fancy them not at all either way.”

Castor you said NO pedantism. Anyways his mom’s family were in the cult of Nymea, which was therefore the closest thing to a religion his family had when he was growing up (his father’s religion wasn’t the sort of thing you could practice openly in Eorzea). The whole business has left him particularly suspicious of the notion of religion AND fate

The hyur stares a moment, gritting his teeth. “I don’t spend my time thinking about the past. I suggest you follow my lead.”

Lies are easy and fun to do I guess, YES he has regrets, two principally, one which he literally can’t undo (and sort of isn’t his fault) and one which he likely can never undo (which is also only sort of his fault)

Thanks for the asks :D

A Mother's Touch (Sneak Peek)

A Crimson Peak Fan Project | Nxox & Poro

"My mother’s passing was tragic for everyone involved. Even at my young age I understood there was nothing to be done about it. The problem then was that everyone else also knew how much of a tragedy it was and had to make it abundantly clear to me. While as a young child I was mourning the first ever loss of someone so near and dear to me - without even having gotten the chance of a final hug, a last goodbye. As I was barely grasping that I was already forgetting the way my mother’s hands had felt on me, everyone kept touching me. Hands caressed my cheek, fingers squeezed mine or ruffled my hair. Some even went as far as enveloping me in a hug. Whilst I was making my first ever acquaintance with the depths of grief, feeling as hollow as the ground swallowing up that coffin so black against white snow, it all meant nothing to me. No gentle touch, no soft word, no shiny gift could replace what had been stolen from me. Only alone in the nights did I slowly begin to understand that the void I was feeling was that of my mother’s missing touch. And that I would never feel it again. Or so I thought. Up until that night I made the realisation that some things, unfortunately, don’t just stay dead and buried."

A sneak peek of the next part of @nxoxart's and my retelling of Crimson Peak.

Head over to @nxoxart profile for the full next part!

Okay! So I have a couple of WIP's that I'm pretty excited about. Firstly, Nymea is getting a big piece explaining her journey and who she could've been. (Please excuse the quality, they're all screenshots) (I love to yap about her so would love any questions and fanart about her just fyi!!) Secondly I'm trying to create a sharper look to my work. My main influences are @meanbossart and @velnna, I adore the shapes and compositions they come up with and while I don't want an exact match of their work I do want something similar to come out in my artwork.

[meanbossart]

Massive ask compilation time OH LORD

YES, her journals are a fun read. I somewhat wish there was more to her and The Dark Urge's interactions, too - she's wonderfully evil and clearly very attached to you if you're playing as that character, but I had hoped there was more of a reason for her obsession besides just "you were fun to cut up", haha. I remember reading her journal over a couple of times looking for something I might have missed.

His reaction was pretty in line with the Narrator's cues, just immediate rage over what she had done to him - DU Drow may be a masochist but that's reserved for people he cares about! So, her and her posse met a swift end. Also, despite the fact that the whole tadpole thing turned out being for the best, I think he's easily overtaken by resentment over his lost glory-days whenever faced with it so directly (he misses living in obliviousness) - not to mention his profound fear of vulnerability, and of feeling... Small. The way Kressa spoke to and of him would have absolutely shook him to his core, especially by doing so in front of the others.

[MORE UNDER CUT]

THANK YOU so much for your kind words first of all! As for the question, it depends a bit on the timeline; his dislike of female drow, especially at the start of his tadpole'd journey is pretty irrational and faith status wouldn't be of too much relevance, he just thinks It's in their nature to want to put him down and be conniving, and wants nothing to do with them.

Later, and especially post-game, he might at least give them a chance to prove they aren't "like other drow", though it would take him a lot to ever let his guard down entirely - UNLESS you seem like a complete fool LOL he's actually easy to trick into dismissing you as long as you don't mind playing the role of a dumb idiot.

But if not, he'd have an extremely short patience for any attempts to exert authority over him or his actions - or jokes at his expense, or any level of smugness or secrecy. Nymea would definitely feel kept at arms length because of the gender+race combo alone and have to put up with a lot of snideness. Basically, she'd have to treat this 6'4" feet tall freak with kids gloves to ever develop a rapport LOL

But also... The vampirism may "help"? He'd consider her a "lesser drow" for it. In that regard her attitudes toward Astarion would probably come to be relevant. I'm not sure about that aspect of it to be honest!

First of all, this is a hysterical scenario because he Would just fucking put the ring on without thinking about it LOL so thank you for the laugh that mental image just provided me with.

Oh he wouldn't care though. I mean, he dislikes drow in general, but he is a drow (up for debate, but you know, generally speaking) and he thinks he's pretty great. As long as he's still huge and strong he could wake up a woman tomorrow and not give a damn. And, frankly, his dick could turn into a pussy at any point in time and it wouldn't change anything about his character save for having to add a recurring UTI problem to his character sheet - he'd probably have fun with it.

TOTALLY FAIR, I'm very sorry it went past the point of enjoyment for you, but I'm glad you knew when to put it down!!! We're in our hand-holding and elf-smooching era now with the occasional visceral description of violence LOL SO YOU'RE WELCOME IN IF YOU'D LIKE. Thank you for dropping by!

Just putting this here because - I actually haven't decided yet, so that's pretty funny you asked LOL I'm leaning eyes closed though, nothing like a smooch to calm the big weirdo down.

HAHAHAH WELCOME BACK, I've been around this whole time! But I was hanging out on twitter for the most part. HOPE YOU'RE INTO THE DND STUFF LOL

DROW DURGES RISE UP I'll be honest with you friend, DU drow's lore has been as accidental as something like that can be, so much of it has felt completely organic in the way it came up - I guess that's what good RPG does to your brain. The rest of it has just been a wonderful opportunity to develop my writing that I decided to take full advantage of this year. Thank you so much for the lovely message!

---

Aaaaand I can barely muster something to say that feels like an appropriate response, but again I wanted to acknowledge all the sweet compliments people take the time to leave in my inbox. Some of you guys' comments about the things I create blow me away, I think I'm pretty confident in my art but... Damn, makes me so happy to know the stuff I create can hold a little special place to some folks. Thank you all so, so much for taking time out of your day to spread a little kindness around, and make mine a little better.

Again, thank you all for humoring me, have a lovely day folks!

A while ago i did a loose sketch for @meanbossart of Drow and my vamp spawn Nymea, i've been trying to improve since then. Another loose sketch i'll finish it i promise. Just got to fight off the adhd first. I think he would like her stink too.

[nxoxart]

In the spirit of the anniversary of #bg3 i wanted to share some very old drawings of Nymea, from around September/October ish last year.

She spawned into my tiny brain when I stumbled upon a post about Kradesh Olonrae and I really liked his last name. He was a merchant that stole items from battle fields to sell on, of course the perfect father for my blorbo.

I still really love these first little doodles of her. If you have questions about her lore just ask! 💜

[nxoxart]

Back during valentines we were challenged to do a bunch of kisses of course Astarion has to get them all. I'm working on a ref sheet for my OC Nymea. She's also a vampire spawn but not Astarion's, she was turned by a vampire in the underdark.

[nxoxart]

@shogokii kindly let Niamh & Nymea have some alone time together. <3
