Thank you for that bereal drawing its now my favorite of yours. The way he is staring, the way he crosses his little legs and flips that dagger mesmerizes me. I feel sorry though bc i ate him so no one else can have him:/

*Gasps softly* oh no

Hiii!!! Huge fan of your art, it's AMAZING!!! And I was wondering-- how do you approach drawing Astarion's hair? I struggle so much with all the curls, but his hair always looks stunning when you draw it! (tbh I should probably just do more studies 😂 buuut was wondering if you had any tips/tricks that help you along)

Somehow I can't find anything in my own tumblr but I guess the closest I have is this post here. Hair in general is a lot about direction, roots, overlapping layers, etc, and Astarion's is tricky but not that hard to get.. kinda right I think? As long as you get some of the direction and hairline right

What's the reason for Staeve to have changed his name? Identity obstruction? A new start?

Part identity obstruction, part just wanting to run from his past a little. He's on bad terms with his sister so (sloppily) adopting a new name makes it less likely for them to come across each other

With your newest comic Astarion and Steave are just “So I was supposed to let you get hurt?!” “Yes! So you wouldn’t!”

Excuse me while I go scream.

They're idiots 😔 in love 😔😔

Hi I saw the throat kiss on Patreon, I love it!! Would you mind sharing the ref you mentioned? I uh. Collect them for the nebulous future and couldn’t find it scrolling around on here. Ty for your time 💕

Thank you! The ref was shared here as an ask so when I finally get through my buffer to share it it'll be included in the post. I think it's a picture of Neil Patrick Harris 🤔

Hi! Your art is so, so delicious. Do you have any tips on coloring? Not so much shading, but how you make skin seem more vibrant and warm, how you add blush etc etc.

Thank you! Honestly there's no trick to it, I just tend to have 2-3 skin shades and add blush here and there, sometimes freckles or little scars. It's not super accurate (I like to shade nose bridges and ear tips etc, which doesn't necessarily map to real skintones), but it does make it a bit more interesting in my opinion

Hehe

quiet evenings

astarion/staeve, 655w

“You’re such a cat,” Staeve teased Astarion, poking his nose. “You’ll make Slippers jealous.” “She can deal,” Astarion sniffled, mock-offended. “She did steal my spot, after all.” Staeve chuckled, and they both glanced down at the kitten curled up on his lap, her nose ridiculously and adorably tucked under her paw. “Don’t be mad at her, she’s very small and her life is very hard,” he cooed, scritching the fur between her ears with a careful fingernail. “I’m not mad, I’m jealous.”

how much money do I need to throw at you for a commission. is there a wait list. please I need to know

Due to my own miscalculations I currently have a commission waitlist of over 50 people so it's unlikely I'll reopen them this year 😅 unsure of what the price range will be when that happens (it's currently at $100 - $170 per character, give or take), aaand it'll probably be another patreon exclusive perk since I'd rather keep it to a smaller circle

Ah thank you so much for the kind words 💜 it's always so heartwarming to see the ways people enjoy my work and how it matters to them

And that art looks amazing!!

It's going to be a long time, eh.

In general, it's more of a declaration of love. A declaration of love for the work of this man.

It all started with a simple one: I met your art on the vastness of a social network. I didn't focus on it, it's just a beautiful picture. And yet something inside responded. Over time, I started noticing a lot more of your art (especially with the popularity of bg3). I started to stop to take a closer look, and it sucked me in like a whirlpool. From an ordinary person who would pass by, I started frantically looking for more of your creativity. Each new piece of art evoked some kind of emotion. I liked everything. Your line, color, textures and chiaroscuro... It's all so wonderful. It always looks the way it should look, I just wanted to look at everything over and over again.

But one day, for some reason, I lost you from my information field. I do not know what it was related to, but it was something devastating. Everything in my life is not as good as I would like, and therefore there are definitely more important things than pictures. That's what I thought at the time.

Quite by accident, I decided to start my own blog on tumblr. What could be more ordinary, right? And during registration, Tumblr offered to subscribe to a couple of blogs. And this meeting happened completely by accident.

It was you.

It wasn't just stolen pictures on Google or Pinterest, no. It was you.

I never would have thought that just some person would be able to save me with the help of art.

It's funny, we don't know each other at all, and you don't even know that you were able to help someone, but it's true. After all, the world as a whole is a funny thing. I don't know if you paint just for yourself or to become popular. I just decided that for everything you've done, I have to do something in return.

Thank you for painting. Thank you for inspiring people with yourself.

Thanks, @velnna
