Your kidstarion stuff gives me life, and I think that lil guy deserves a cookie

What he lacks in finesse he makes up in enthusiasm

#kidstarion #astarion #gale dekarios #thank you btw!!!

[malacandrax]

your sw au is so good and gutwrenching! had to literally take a moment after the most recent piece. can't wait to see where you go with it

Thank you so so much!!! I promise it'll get better <3

#i cant promise it wont get worse first #though #halstarion sw au #mal talks

I know you're big into BG3 rn (so am I!) but I just want to let you know that I love your original characters and would be very excited to see them again too!! I just know that fandom content typically gets more interaction than original content so I wanted you to know that there's people who are still really excited about your original stuff too! (Not to imply one is better than the other)

Alas, I cannot control the brainworms! I don't have any OC's I'm very invested in, to be honest.

May I offer you some kid au comfort in these trying times (the sw au is the trying times)

The urge to give your SW!Au Astarion a hug >>> everything else q-q (gorgeous comic, I love it, I love your work with emotions and writing)

Honestly halsin is desperate to give him a hug too 🙃 (thank you so much!)

Sex worker/Charity worker Halstarion AU --- More of this AU

#halstarion sw au #halstarion #bloodbear #halsin #astarion #listen #would he be alone on the street apart from one guy?probably not #but I do not want to draw more people #imagine some more of cazadors swers hanging about #also if astarion is chatting to halsin to this extent its because cazador is elsewhere that night #halsin does not know how bad it is yet #thats why he's not pushing much

Ok but like, regardind the fact you don't do many fully rendered perfect illustrations... scrappy, highly expressive comics have so much charm tho! I'm not much of an illustrator either and your comic work is ART GOALS for me. Some artists can make characters look gorgeous and astounding but you make them ALIVE. In all their little movements and body language and positioning to accompany the dialogue, you give them life. If I had to choose one skill I want to work towards, it's that 🥹

this is EXTREMELY KIND thank you so much... It's definitely the most important thing to me, though I do always wish I could be The Best At Everything :P. Here's another preview with a pose I liked a lot!

If I by chance see any followers participating in petty hate campaigns against artists or writers on this site (or twitter) you'll get a block.

#posting this here from twitter #no I wont explain lmao #you Know what to do if you don't like something (block) #this is huge in fandoms but also in general nsfw art spaces #stop it

I love making comics and I am not someone who wants to make like, insane detailed comics or illustrations...but also sometimes you feel kind of left out LMAO like everyone doing the 100% zoom meme, or doing beautiful insanely rendered pieces, or like drawing really good zooms of faces or hands. Alas I put most of my skill points into making people look like they're moving, and they are meant to be looked at for a millisecond.

Like there are so few pictures I feel like I can show and be like yeah, this represents my skills! Gotta read the whole comic...

#mal talks #i can make things look nice but i get so bored #once the point is made I am kind of done with it #i didnt used to be like this #I think making comics made me way less interested in illustration or rendering lol #its like quick hit gratification #i made the thing #next!

[malacandrax]

i love your halstarion sw au!! your comic style looks so so good with them and i’m excited to see where their story goes :) tysm!!

thank you so much! It's been nice to experiment with a different style for it!

#halstarion sw au #you can see me completely ignore my sketches under the ink LMAO

[malacandrax]

KIDSTARION EEPING SANDWICHED BETWEEN THEM!! mayhaps thats just how they sleep sometimes and mayhaps he climbed in after oakweave fell asleep and just fell into the space between them like when ur phone falls behind the bed

Thank you omg...what a cute idea ahaha. sandwiched!!! cute :'). idk if Halsin would like an off the floor bed, BUT drawing astarion climbing up was too cute.

#kidstarion #i havent drawn them getting together yet but its fun to skip around so

[malacandrax]

#i was doing studies and then ended up painting this using the same pallette #this aint reffed tho LMAO #kidstarion #its funny how twitter has gone from the place to post scrappy things like this to the place to be Professional #astarion

[malacandrax]

halsin as an awesome stock image I found

#last art super inspired by this haha! #something real chill about drawing on photos

[malacandrax]

young Halsin as Jack 🍃💚 - Legend 1985 screencap redraw!

#halsin #bg3 #is it a redraw if its half screencap? #well #anyway this was a fun warmup

[malacandrax]

thank you to everyone who sticks with me through my fandom madness, and also for those who came for one fandom, stayed for OC's, and now I'm back on some other bullshit HAHA

#i love you #mal talks #some of you have been around since sherlock and um #thank you #but also im sorry for our loss

[malacandrax]

Does Cazador exist within the kidstarion au?an abusive uncle or something? He looked like before being orphaned he was still upper class, could see cazador getting custody for the inheritance if it was revealed.

MM. That is super interesting! I don't think it's something I would explore because it's kind of a comfort AU and I'm not really thinking about plot beyond standalone scenarios, but also that's such a good idea and also very down my angst alley hahahaha.
