His hand hovers over the hilt of his dagger...

Dandelion was about to kill an enemy drow who was tied down and defenseless, but hearing his party member's voice caught his attention first. Dande's also in a bit of a confused haze, having cast a new spell by accident (Hunger of Hadar) that plunged the enemies and himself into a freezing, eldritch darkness full of whispers, acid tongues, and the grazing of teeth, which reminded him a lot of being home. He may have thought it was his mother...

Mysterious Drow Inscription in BG3

Something I found during my recent run: drow inscription in the Underdark, in a very dark corner that is very easy to miss.

I recognized these letters as the angular variant of Drow script - if you want to know more about it, I mentioned it in this post, along with some other scripts useful for drow writing language.

So... you can probably imagine my disappointment when I realized that the inscription makes no sense. I was able to decipher it, but it was not even resembling a proper word or a name. I was getting only some random letters: AACTB... Seriously?😔

My stubborn brain was refusing to give up, though. Drow script uses the same symbols for various letters, but turned upside down or mirrored. Maybe the inscription needs to be mirrored, or rotated...

And it worked😃After flipping the screenshot upside down, I got:

GEORGII NOMEROVSKII

Apparently, Georgii Nomerovskii is a 3D Environment Artist and was among artists who worked on BG3. You can find some of his projects on Artstation.

Such a cool signature 😊

It's been a while! I know I said I'd have more Ember/Rolan stuff for you guys soon, and while it's already been longer than I expected (or wanted), it's going to be a liiiittle bit longer. While my normal lines/tones style isn't too taxing, rendering/painting takes a hell of a lot more out of my wrist and I've had to chip away at this a bit at a time rather than powering through it like I'd normally be able to with my comics.

So in the meantime here's some little WIP sneak peeks of what's coming!

(Also if you have sent me an ask and are waiting on a reply, I promise I'm not ignoring you! I'll be answering a bunch once I've got these done, I've just been trying to not let myself get sidetracked)

Underdark 2: The Undarkening! Aka @plothooksinc blessed us all with a sequel to Underdark; Chiaroscuro which focuses on Raph and Donnie's side of the story and the rescue operation. Obviously, I enjoyed it greatly. I sketched the first doodle immediately after KJ showed me the first wip of the story. The 2nd is for celebrating her finishing the fic <3 And as an extra, here's a couple Mikey&Leos from the regular story. One of them I published with my first Underdark fanart, but I feel it might been too hidden under Read More. The other one is new ✨

BALDUR'S GATE III ꕤ locations [7/?] ⇢ Decrepit Village, the Underdark

And once again, the Drow Secret Satan 2024 is upon us! Seventeenth Secret Satan event, and seventh drow-themed one.

The DSS2024 is a Secret Santa-like art trading event with a TTRPG topic. This one is themed around drow, dark elves (in all their flavours), and other underground / Underdark ancestries (like duergar, deep gnomes, etc). We also allow other flavours of edgy elves, like shadar-kai and such. It isn't limited just to DnD or Pathfinder- Any setting that has anything fitting the bill is good to go!

To enter, fill this form! It also all has the rules for the event. Inscriptions will be open until 29 of December, and mails will be sent on 30 of December. Pictures will be due for 24 of January.

It's also a bit emotional for me to run this one, since next year we will change the line up and we won't have a drow-only event any longer. Anyhow, if you have any questions about the event, please DM me! Shares are much appreciated, we always have people finding out a bit too late about the event

While the idea of Xenk in Honour Among Thieves being a DMPC or an NPC is funny, I’m much more a fan of the idea that he’s actually a PC controlled by somebody else who played a full campaign with the same DM. Because meta textually, I can clearly imagine the conversation between the DM and Xenk’s player:

DM: “…So yeah I kinda fucked up the CR’s of the Underdark encounters but my current group is super excited and determined to head down there and since Xenk was already down there before…dude please help me, one session.”

Xenk’s Player: “I dunno, Xenk’s character arc felt pretty complete to me…”

DM: “Wait…The Red Wizards are the bad guys of this campaign too! You can finally settle the score with that asshole Dralas!”

Xenk’s Player: “…You sonnuvabitch, I’m in.”

DM: “YES! Oh also, Edgin’s-the Bard’s-backstory has him being a former Harper, so I have some ideas on how you could drive him nuts…”
