In an effort to get a better handle on drawing Kuir (and dragonborn in general, really) I traced a series of screenshots I took of him (all on the 'left'), and then used them as reference for some quick versions of my own (on the 'right').

His dumb hammerhead plate is the bane of my existence, but I'm feeling pretty good about it by now!

I wanted to draw Kuir in the Sorcerer Starter Pack, which I like to think was done on purpose to a man who hates robes.

Zafira (Wizard), Decker (Fighter), and Vhisa (Warlock), from the SKIZZARDS multiplayer campaign with my sister and partner.

I need more screenshots of Zafira and Vhisa because they've got those more feathery horns and my brain stalls out trying to visualize and draw them.

Oh and their adopted pet Shadowheart, of course.

Despite the date, it's not a joke, Thirkuir.

Not that that means you weren't laughing.

A little compilation of sketches I've done of Decker as I try to get a handle on his head shape and all that jazz.

His good buddy Volo offered to help with that pesky parasite in his head, and now he's like when you catch your cat staring at "nothing". What does your special eye see?

Who would've ever guessed this man had Dark Urges? A shocker to us all, really.

Decker comin' in hot!

He's my Fighter for the multiplayer game I'm doing with my partner and sister in BG3. We're having a lot of fun and as much as I enjoyed casting on Thirkuir (more than I expected!), but I was just BORN TO HIT THINGS!!!

Thirkuir is my Dark Urge character for Baldur's Gate 3, and as you might surmise from this comic, wound up romancing Lae'zel.

Though from a technical perspective he is a Black Dragonborn, I made this decision under the narrative choice that he was originally a Red Dragonborn, and that the Urge had physiological changes on him.

When he found himself forming a more intimate relationship with Lae'zel, I was tickled, given the importance of Red Dragons to the Githyanki.

All of this grew into a moment in my head that I decided to put to 'paper' here. A moment of vulnerability and preparing to be scoffed at rather than taken for his word, only to be proven wrong when he needed it most.

As additional context, Thirkuir looks like this. He was going to be a Red Dragonborn originally, but as soon as I stumbled onto this design as I futzed around in the creator, I knew this was a changed man.

I am more than a little obsessed with them.

I've completed my first Baldur's Gate 3 play-through, and am effectively changed forever.

My first run was as Nick, but I also have a Dark Urge run going that I can now put more focus on, and I wanted to draw that Tav, Thirkuir. He's a Wild Magic Sorcerer and I'm sure Everything Will Be Fine. (:

My greatest lament is that these are glitter gel pens and you miss out on so much...but I hope you enjoy anyway.

I yearn for things, as we all do, as I imagine I will continue to do until my days complete.

But many days, like this one, I prefer to think of all I already have - so many of them beyond my previous expectations and wistful wantings.

I think of the gentle, warm weight of my cat's body against my leg as I awake in the morning. Not quite ten pounds, a burden I would bear into eternity. Those soft morning vibrations and quiet sounds, watchful eyes as I prepare myself for the day that awaits.

I think of you, not in my bed, but ever at my fingertips. The notification of emojis that tell me you're awake and that your heart beats for mine, too, such that there is often at least three to greet me. How many years I longed for precisely this. I think about how you'll never see this, connected to me through the internet but so freely unattached from it.

I think of sharing sips of alcohol with my father, watching the faces he makes and the sound of his laughter when my own expression twists. Often, somewhere, my brother is talking to himself in ongoing narration of his day and preparation for experiences to come.

I'm warm and safe, in a body I seldom dreamed I could actually attain, a body capable of so much more than I expected.

Of course, I think of you, too, reader. I don't imagine there are many of you, but among you I know are cherished people. I think of you smiling as you read this, of thinking I am ridiculous, though you think it fondly. So often I think of you and when we'll meet again - when we may meet at all.

There was a time I wished new days wouldn't come, and how wonderful it is to sit and steep in all I stuck around to have.
