More art specifically focused on my tav character Salice (she/her) and some silly doodles of interactions between her and other companions

Bonus:

(I call this one "The Jock Urge", aka the Jurge. Because salice gets this instinct when Gale [categorized as nerd] is around)

I've been thinking about pre!avernus Karlach at work today...

#oh they are so cutiepies here !! #karlach #durge #enver gortash #bg3 #baldur's gate 3

I find Gortash's story so interesting. The fact of how he turns out wasn't inevitable AT ALL makes him evening more compelling. He wasn't born an evil mastermind and not a construct of evil. He was just a kid who was dealt the shiittest of cards and when the chips were down he made the most of himself (in fucked up ways). I also get the feeling he doesn't want to be seen as a bad person. He wants praise and people to adore him. He wants the attention he never got as a kid. I mean his parents now have to talk about how great he is and introduce their shop as Gortash's home and he is the "hero" in the absolute plot. Not only that but his interactions with Karlach make me believe he thinks he genuinely did a good thing for Karlach. He takes what he didn't get as a child. He didn't get good attention but now with making the Steel Watch he got it. He didn't get his parents love but now they have to praise him. But most importantly, he didn't get a hero so now he will be the "hero". He is very fucked up and an awful person period but it is interesting to see how everything he does just trails back to his parents choice to sell him. In my mind, he still is the kid who carved attention and love but now he just uses the worse means possible to get it. At least that's my take. Sorry for the long paragraph I JUST CANT GET OVER THIS GOOBER

No fr the karlach thing still fucks me up because he ruined her life but thought he did the right thing and that made her stronger like.. when u bring her too he was so devoid of empathy hfkgjkd god hes so horrible

But karlach said it herself, he turned out like that because of what happened to him. It's a really compelling backstory for one of the worst men alive.

gortash: giggling and kicking his feet twirling his hair and writing ‘mr. lord enver durge’ in his diary with little hearts and flowers

the dark urge: down SO horrendous that he’s having a religious crisis of guilt that’s about to get him disinherited and lobotomized

Did I create this whole thing because of one throw away line in a letter?

Yes, yes I did. I'm sorry and I'll show myself out.

(I just imagine it's something they constantly tell each other when proven right. Also ignore my Durge's bad outfit. I wanted to give him plain clothes because I think Durge only wears the most practical plain shit you ever saw especially compared to Gortash who dresses well..."fashionable" is a word I guess, so I tried drawing a modified sorcerers outfit but maybe it has gone a bit too boring)

there's a biography written about gortash in game detailing his life up until he was lord gortash, and one of the chapters is like, "the black hand of bane shakes the bloody hand of bhaal."

it should say "the black hand of bane firmly grasps the bloody hand of bhaal and refuses to let go."

or "the black hand of bane pulls the bloody hand of bhaal to his lips and kisses their knuckles."

or "the black hand of bane and the bloody hand of bhaal find that the spaces between their fingers were meant to be filled with one another."

or you know. for all the naysayers out there who think durgetash is bad.

"the black hand of bane and the bloody hand of bhaal high five. no homo."

(genshin impact spoilers incoming)

one aspect of furina's characterization that's pretty understated but that i really really really love is her intelligence and curiosity. usually in genshin, when a character's intelligence is an important trait of theirs, there are aspects of their design, writing, voice acting, etc, that very clearly tell you "hey this character is smart." albedo, for example, wears a labcoat, is always saying big sciency words in a calm, rational tone of voice, and other characters are always talking about how smart he is

but furina? nothing about her on the surface suggests that she's a "smart" character - quite the opposite, in fact. superficially, she's introduced as a bratty, conceited, overconfident person who actually has no idea what she's doing. we eventually learn in the archon quest that that was all an act, but even after she regains her freedom, nothing about her really seems archetypically intelligent, at least at face value

instead, furina's intelligence is always shown rather than told (the only exception being nahida's voiceline about her). she had an intelligence network across teyvat feeding her information, and we saw in the flashback how she directed researchers to study the prophecy and potential ways of stopping it. before things like lyney's trial or directing the two musketeers, she'd stay up all night planning and piecing things together all on her own. she loves learning new things, she has lines in the teapot about how, when she's interested in something, she wants to become the most knowledgeable person in the topic, and also how she'd like to disassemble the teapot itself to learn how it works, and she's quick to learn new skills (like surfing). and, of course, she's well read, and quite possibly teyvat's foremost expert on the performing arts

i like how furina sort of defies the concept of character archetypes. she's initially presented as an archetypical bratty, dramatic, spoiled popular girl, but that was a role she forced herself into because it's what people expected of her. but the real furina, while still retaining some of the flamboyance from her archon persona, doesn't really fit into a clear mold. she's smart without being a super-genius, and she's kind without being a soft-spoken doormat. it makes her feel multifaceted and real, and i really love that!

anyway, this is why it makes me mad whenever i see people calling furina stupid, cuz she's not!
