some soft Balian and Raphael sketches since I’ve only ever posted them in their “tadpole/messy reunion” era.
some nudity and LoreTM ramblings below the cut
peace and love on faerûn
LoreTM: Balian (an incubus) was accidentally cursed by a wizard that had fallen in love with him almost two millennia before current events via a wish spell which tied him to the material plane…So, instead of being transported back to the hells upon being slain (and risking a true death there), he is immediately reborn in the mortal realm with whatever memories his brain holds on to.
At one point he strikes a deal with Raphael to glamour him as a tiefling for his own safety (devils aren’t seen as the most trustworthy sort on the mortal plane), so that’s why his horns/body types change so much + he doesn’t have his wings or bright orange-pink skin.
Before signing however, he argues that there should be a clause in their contract stating that the other devil couldn’t collect his soul until Balian was back in the hells (which again… curse prevents that). Having been cheated out of a deal, and no way to change it, Raphael just sort of shows up every now and again to bother him as Balian is one of the few devils not out to kill him for power (and the other debtors aren’t the best conversationalists).
love love love the whole act 2 romance scene and everything, but they just looked so uncomfortable sitting side by side with the book…. like let me hold him please
since my warlock’s patron is Raphael, the whole Yurgir confrontation feels like he’s just hovering over my shoulder going “WOW did you see how clever those clauses are?? Anyways you should tell him to kill himself <3”
Hi! I just wanted to drop by and say that I saw your 'I can fix him' 'i can make him worse' artworks and I was mesmerized by them! Like honestly, they look so good, I loved the way you drew the characters, especially the wings
AHHHH thank you so much!!!! I‘ll always take any chance I can to give a character wings, so once again thank you bg3 modders for all your hard work o7
also both works started as these little sketches I had of all my tavs and their npc romances!
once again mods are acting up in act 3, but instead of a pacifist gale, this time my tav has dark urge voice lines...
got my good-aligned paladin walking down the street muttering, "pave my path with corpses, build my castle with bones" as he donates to charity
update: scratch is now just hanging out on the docks by the foundry... no one summoned him and he doesn't come back to camp either, so poor baby owlbear just sits here by himself now
