For new followers/friends arriving from the *other* site, here’s what this account is about! I mostly post on #bg3 & #dnd, w/ some #startrek thrown in. And I share my art & OC writing (usually also bg3 and DnD related!). Here’s a smattering! #promosky #bg3fanart #ocart #dndart #bowee #asra
A drawing of a half-drow woman with slate blue skin wearing a long purple gown and smiling, holding a glass of wine. Astarion, caught in entangling vines, uses her shoulder for support. They are surrounded by lightning, fire, and spikes. A drawing of a drow woman with light blue skin, white hair, a white tattoo on her cheek, and a crooked smile. She wears a cape and dusty purple leather armor and stands facing the viewer with her hand on her hip. A drawing of Astarion and a red-skinned Tiefling woman standing side by side, viewed from behind. The woman wears a long maroon gown and silver jewelry and has her arm around Astarion. A drawing of Bowee and Asra. Asra looks up and to the side, somewhat forlornly, with a broken halo over her head. Bowee looks at her and smiles widely, her head surrounded by a string of leaves.

There is an objectively terrible mushroomy “scotch” from the Underdark that Edosia loves. She knows it’s terrible. That’s why she loves it. Some combination of nostalgia for bucking the norms of her elite Menzoberranzan upbringing and liking to suffer. #ocask #ocqotd #ocsky #oc #dnd #dndoc

A shot of Elysia standing in a field of daisies and lavenders, holding a daisy up to her nose with a smile on her face, and with the other hand behind her back. She wears a lavender-coloured dress a white lace trim at the hem of the skirt and the neckline.

My beloved Edosia is a drow. Former Baenre spy and assassin turned Seldarine rebel. Here she is back in the bad old days.

#dnd #dndart #dndoc #oc #ocart #ocsky #dailyocs #drow
Edosia stands with her legs slightly spread, facing the camera. She wears a black hooded cloak with deep purple and teal accents, held together by a silver brooch in the shape of the Baenre crest. She looks forward with an intense expression on her face.

For Edosia, lazy day at home means no fuss, no frills. A simple nightshirt and a messy pony. Plus a thick blanket if it’s cold. After her always-on-the-clock days as a Baenre operative, she appreciates having time that’s truly her own. #dailyocs #oc #ocart #ocsky #dndart #dnd #dndoc #drow
Edosia, seen from the back, leaning toward a window with her hand up against the glass, looking out at the moon. She wears a plain white nightshirt and her hair is up in a ponytail. A metalwork symbol of a silver sword surrounded by flames hangs on the wall beside her.

This will be my Happy Spring C0mm coming March!

Will be Astarion YCH or OC x OC but I may consider other companions as an option too if there's enough interest.

Let me know via DM or comment if you'd like to be pinged for when it comes up and with who <3

See a mage, post a mage! Or two, or three, or four!

Here’s a throwback to my wild magic sorcerer tav, Kaya (and her partner, Astarion).

A half-drow woman with a white bob with purple tips looks and reaches out in wonder toward three colored, glowing orbs floating before her A half-drow woman and Astarion from bg3 stand side by side. She wears a purple gown and holds a wine glass, smiling wryly. He wears a blue doublet and holds onto her shoulder for support as he struggles with entangling vines. They are surrounded by spikes, fire, and lightning.

Current #wip is a scene from Edosia’s past, trying to coax some mission-critical information out of one of the Underdark’s most savvy & self-serving smooth operators. #wipwednesday #dailyocs #dnd #dndart #oc #ocart #ocsky #dndoc #drow
A drow woman sits on an ornate desk and smiles playfully at a drow man, who stands leaning forward, one foot up on a stool, talking with a satisfied and mildly sinister expression on his face. Behind them are a throne-like chair and a window out onto a vast warehouse.

Show me your dark/nighttime art!

CW: blood

I have a lot, but this is one of my darkest in color & vibes. Edosia, having chased Baenre’s thugs through her city, arriving to rescue her friend from their clutches, hopefully not too late. #dnd #dndart #dndoc #ocart #ocsky #oc
Edosia’s shadow, standing with hand on hip, silhouetted against a dark grey flight of stairs with red streaking down it. At the top of the stairs stands a closed black door with light seeping out from under it. The scene is dark with large, frantic brush strokes. The light from behind the door is the only visible light source.

Today's WIP (work in progress). It seemed like a good idea, but that was before enough coffee had been consumed.

I’m doing bird commissions for $15 each. you’ll get a scanned in digital version of a painting. I’ll be doing watercolors and mix in some other medium. If you want my bird art, all you have to do is drop a reference photo of a bird that you’re a fan of in the comments.
