rare backstory appearance - kid proportions always trip me up, how old would you think she's in this, from the sketch?

incomplete sketch of a young awbonee, she's carrying a small bag and her bow and arrows. her hair is in two braids and a bit dishevelled, and she looks serious

i'm usually too slow for meme drawings but i had to do this one because apples are Important to the lore. in act 1 awbonee is eating these weird black apples no one else eats, astarion later finds out they are bitter and nasty af but help make blood stronger

it's hard to focus on anything at the moment and i'm never sure if i am going to have some uninterrupted art time, so i'm just hacking at studies here and there

#art #baldursgate3 #awbonee
painterly sketch of awbonee's eyes, she's looking up and to the side. her right eye is Volo's eye, a very pale shade of blue with some yellow in. the left half of her face is burnt and the esclera of the left eye is black, while the iris is a coral shade of pink/orange

late and incomplete for #dadstarionweek25, but better than nothing? this would be one out of a bunch of sketches in a sequence about astarion going through a bunch of feels within 5 minutes

some angst ridden hc. awbonee doesn't remember what happened exactly the night she was burned and the camp sort of assumes she just doesn't want to talk about it, until some of the people who attacked her turn up at the elfsong and she has a meltdown after

as usual i needed to sketch an entire face to be able to have a mostly covered face in the final sketch, because i don't understand how faces work otherwise 😂

four lineart sketches around pirate astarion and mermaid awbonee. in the first one on the top they are sitting on a rock by the shore with their backs to the camera. she is holding a string of pearls on her hand. he is leaning towards her and holding her other hand against the rock. there are three smaller sketches underneath. the first one shows the other side of the upper sketch, with astarion holding down awbonee's hand. the middle one shows his hand caressing the webbing between her fingers. on the third one he is holding her arm and kissing the inside of her wrist

i used to struggle a lot with hair and then one day it sort of clicked and while it's not great, i can sort of wing it acceptably. ironically this makes me more frustrated about my colour skills because i fear no matter what i do it will never click the same way. anyway i drew some hair
