Hey guys! I am gonna be at the RPC in Cologne/ Germany!
The convention is on May 27th and 28th this year and you can find me chillin in the artist alley. Please come by, say hi, watch me draw, maybe buy some art from me if you feel so inclined ;D
1. Patreon! I've put up my first stretch goal and I think some of you might be interested in this. If we pass monthly pledges of 100$/month I will start creating a complete custom portrait set for the Baldur's Gate series in my comic artstyle. You know, like Artastrophe's PaintBG, but in my style. So if you wanna see that happen, please come and support me
2. RedBubble Store Update! I added a hand full of artworks to my Redbubble store, including one Baldur's Gate and Pillars of Eternity piece each, please check it out
@tbone1 Please do not post any pictures in this thread, thank you I am also only offering requests to my patrons on Patreon (I don't do BG style portraits in general tho). (Check the start post for more information.)
Please remove the picture or put it in a spoiler tag, thank you.

Sorry, done. I just got reminded that Darnell had the best hair in the 70s. Heck, I wanted that hair, but I am far too Nordic to do it, let alone pull it off.
Introducing Milly Hunnicutt. chaotic good-ish halfling Enchanter from the town of Daggerford, and her trusty familiar Logan the rat. Got kicked out of her guild for reasons we don’t talk about and is now out on the road, living the life of a true adventuerer! Or something. From @winters and my D&D game
It just donned on me I, too, have a halfling character named Milly. Milly Vex is an Eldritch Knight with a warhammer. Well technically she started as a Kender Knight of the Thorn for a Dragonlance campaign that never happened but eventually became a halfling Eldritch Knight lol.
I noticed I hadn’t draw my Kalach-Cha in literally years, so I started doodling … and couldn’t stop (again) :V When will I learn? (Never, who am I kidding.)
But yeah, this is Knight Captain Andrea Fildret, neutral good human Divinator, the grand-daughter of the Hero of the Icewind Dale & Sir Holvir and cousin of Gorion’s Ward, the Lady Clarissa of Candlekeep. Yes, both my original IWD, BG and NWN2 protagonists are all related and they are all platinum blonde cinnamon rolls in blue clothing.
I figured I should finally do a coloured drawing of my main character in Icewind Dale after like what? Six years? Seven years? I don’t even know.
Sadly I fogot her name and lost the savegames, so now she is just Lady Fildret. She’s a neutral good noble mage from Waterdeep (or Silverymoon? I don’t remember :V) and obsessed with her looks. Which is why she wears perfectly impractical clothing to wander the Spine of the World. She even has some spells and magical items with her for the sole purpose of keeping her styling intact.
@ThacoBell My second favourite, after green. But green is a rather ... how do I put it ... "dominant" colour? I find it more of a challenge to combine different shades of green with each other and and other colours, blue comes much easier to me. Also, I see green as my "personal" colour, so I rarely use it on my OCs to make my personas stand out more. I have only started using more blue on my personas since I got the bard hat from Amber
I decided to put together a timeline for the Ask The Bhaalspawn canon (you can check it out here). I tried to stick as close as possible to the official Forgotten Realms canon, but there is this massive plot hole with Charname having to technically be ten years old.
Also, originally I stuck to the game’s canon of always having Alianna be Charname’s mother, but I changed that now. Alianna is now only Clarissa’s mother. The idea is that all my other Bhaalspawn are from different mothers but they all ended up at the temple in the Forest of Wyrms where Alianna lived. Who exactly the other mothers are and how each of my Bhaalspawn came to be at the temple I have not decided yet.
But yeah, that means one thing specifically: Up until the day Gorion and the Harpers stopped the ritual it is now one fixed timeline. The timeline splits up at the point where Gorion has to decide which child to save.
To fix the afore mentioned plot hole, I decided to have Charname be a kid/teenager at the point the ritual takes place and Gorion puts a spell on them that let’s them forget any memory of the temple that could lead to them believing they are a Bhaalspawn. (I might change some of my Bhaalspawn’s ages accordingly, since I now don’t have to stick to the 20ish years old premise anymore).
I am currently trying to figure out if I can bring my IWD2 party in this as well somehow, have them be related, too, but I’ll have to think through the possibilities here first.
Also, I guess Clarissa’s name is now Lady Clarissa Fildret of Candlekeep? The other’s might get new last names, too Either way, there is gonna be happening some more redconning for consistency’s sake.
Alianna aka Bhaalmom, because I never saw anyone else draw her!
Her clothes are based on the Bhaal priest from AD&D Forgotten Realms: Faiths & Avatars and her looks are basically identical to how my Bhaalspawn Clarissa would look at that age. In my personal headcanon she is already close to 50 in this one because of the large time gap between IWD and BG. Generally speaking I have this headcanon that Bhaalspawn only get their mom’s DNA (the male ones are simply genderflipped), so they are effectively their clones.

Also GOSH DARN SHE'S SO SMOL AND ADORABLE!
Hildur belongs to me, Nadir belongs to @winters, the other three to our friends.
