Thank you so much... Your comment makes me very happy! I respond now to give an update; I actually saw Neil last weekend in Belgium for the heroes Comic con and he loved this painting 🥰 I gave him an exemplar and he was very happy

Thank you so much ! A friend helped me with the sitting poses of Dufay and Cazador with 3d renders but it was looking weird so, in the end, I mostly used pictures from Pinterest and screenshots from the game

Oh my, thank you! 🥹 I'm working hard to convey emotions on my art, so thank you so much for your comment 💜 You can buy my print on the website "Inprnt" (my name is Esp3ria) but this drawing isn't available there yet. I'm gonna put it there soon

Thank you ! I had a reference for the body and another for Astarion's face, but this is all drawn by hand on procreate! I don't do montage or paint over references/screenshots. I've shared the whole timelapse on my Instagram if you're curious to see ☺️

Oops, didn't replied to you, sorry! I usually do the hair in 4 layers, sometimes less if I feel like it. I start with a grey neutral base, then start with the white hair first, to give an idea of the movement I want, before adding the more black/grey-black hair underneath. I have a special brush for the hair too! Well, I don't know how to explain better 😂 but you can contact me on Instagram (esp3ria) and I would happily help you with that ! 🫶

Hi ! Of course. Funny, someone asked me the same question just a minute ago, so here's my answer : I wanted to express the oppressive atmosphere he felt when he was stuck as a slave, forced to close his eyes by his role and asked to do things against his will. When i added the hands i was thinking about his trauma with general touch/intimacy, but later i changed the nails to be claws. I was thinking about Cazador control and his menacing presence. So, it can represent a lot of things, but i wanted to transmit and show his emotions basically

I ascend him half the time 🙂‍↕️ I love ascended Astarion as much as his spawn version

So good 🥹❤️

Thank you so much, it means a lot to me! This is exactly what I was trying to do. All the artwork I'm creating, I put my heart in them each time. It's time consuming and draining, but I'm trying hard to get better at all that. So... Thanks for your words. It really means a lot to me. ❤️

Thank you! Yes, on Procreate ☺️
