seeing two patterns in Astarion romancer post-game headcanons.

those who haven't played DnD before: my Tav is going to die of old age and leave Astarion alone :(((

DnD players: of course they're both going to live for as long as they choose to. besides, Astarion is getting rid of the vampirism soon :)

#bg3 #astarion #tfw you hit level 20 and you're basically a demigod #dnd is a power fantasy most of all #although if you choose to suffer I respect your choice #from afar #careful not to catch any stray angst

The Mountain and The Runner

"Runner" is a misnomer, Delmas takes a cab as much as possible.

But he is quite fast, despite what the softer physique might suggest.

So there's a thing in Pale Blood what comes up a few times, and that is Delmas' old career, as a holo-boxer (meaning his matches were projected in the center of Upper Dolor and he was kind of a big deal).

When he was boxing, he was known as The Mountain ("because no one could topple him") and was just as big but also kinda shredded and hard as his namesake. He also had long hair, took better care of his beard, and lived in the sun so was a little less pasty. He was also a bit of an asshat that took advantage of his groupies.

Ten years later and he's a softer mountain, with shorter hair (there's reasons but they're amusing and so I won't spoil them), who lives in the slums with the smog that refuses to let any sun in (but enough to terrify full-blooded fangs)...and he is still a force to be reckoned with. When he can be assed to try. He is also decidedly less of an asshat.

I wanted to try and draw both of these versions of this character...for man practice, and also because I like him quite a bit and he's a lot of fun to write.

I hope they amuse you.

#pale blood #sketch #character design #den prefers the softer mountain #but the one on the left that was very important to him once #from afar #he didn't know that one #it is important to note that Delmas may have a tummy and softer curves but he's by no means out of shape #he's just not starving himself and working out constantly #this is important to me to note #his scars come up in the book exactly once for a joke and never again #but i had to draw them

I'd had the unflattering realization that I had never once, in my life, gone after a man who was fully available . . . look who I'd pined after at Granby: the hottest guy on the ski team, and Kurt Fucking Cobain. Men who could never hurt me, because I could remain invisible to them.
