unfortunately it's still not really talked about by a lot of the cr fandom, but the fearne chetney relationship really is one of the sweetest dynamics of the group. i know people write it off as just a one night stand, but they genuinely care about one another. fearne asking chetney about his family early on in the campaign, chetney continuously checking in on fearne/asking about her nana throughout the campaign. chetney making fearne's toy first. fearne trying to steal back the sword chetney had. chetney going after fearne after the shard, asking if she's okay. fearne choosing to cast stoneskin on chetney with a kiss instead of just touch. chetney picking fearne a flower, fearne showing off chetney's toy to oltgar and complimenting it. i love them <3
The Meeting on the Turret Stairs but Make It Shadowgast
After more than a year, this painting is done! This is one of my favorite paintings, and it was wonderful to reimagine it to suit one of my favorite pairings. :D This is by far the most I have ever worked on a painting, and I learned so much while making it. Please enjoy all the details I crammed in there to find.
Some close-ups under the cut!
And where it started, the original painting and the sketch:
tired: Campaign 3 is being unfairly rushed to wrap up and make way for a Daggerheart campaign.
wired: Campaign 3 is fast-paced, plot-heavy, and somewhat more on rails because it's intended to be the culmination of the plot points put into place in the previous two campaigns, which Matt has stated is a long-time dream of his to be able to do.
inspired: Matt is trying to pack as much possible plot into each day because he has no fucking idea what to do if Chetney dies in his sleep.
