Baby Minthy and her pet baby Displacer Beast... also known as "Noble Drow Child and Pet" (c. 12XX DR), a popular postcard at the time.
Based on Otto Scholderer's Child with Cat. Another painting redraw because the last one was so much fun to make. I wanted this to look and feel like one of those delightful Victorian postcards with childlike innocence and idyllic scenery. But of course, this depicts the Underdark so there're a few things that are quite sinister...
quick sketch of owlbear and displacer beast redesigns, coz i think just a bear with an owl's head and just a panther with six legs and tentacles are boring
owlbear design is somewhat inspired by it's first appearance
More Young(er) Minthara and her displaced beast pet! She definitely used to chug a ‘speak with animals’ potion and share the juiciest gossip with her best and most loyal friend.
more baldur's gate Tav or in this case cirrus the monk, currently working on a character sheet for the hell of it so here are some parts
some notes
im running a lighting charge monk build and ive found my favourite strat is have gale make a big area of water then just stand in it for free healing for me and tasers for everyone else
i love that illithid powers let you become a displacer beast adore those guys especially because it gives me free dimension doo , i also like the idea that depending on what you are your shape changes will reflect that hence the bright blue scales. bonus that i have the displacer beast cloak ive got a good theme going
since becoming half illithid lets you fly im saying it gives you wings because i make the rules round here
ive been swapping between a blue and white colour scheme for most of the run
i found something called a resonate stone that makes things weak to psychic dmg with is great for all my illithid powers and for my way of the open hand monk. unfortunately it give you disadvantage on mental saving throws like for say if you got cursed by a laughing monk. side note this also makes my team take extra smg when i teleport them with the displacer beast form whoops
can also turn into a raven, very fitting and helps me stealth into places and steal all the shiny things they have
