the end of the

SHADOW OF DURGE

so, this is a bonus scene of SHADOW OF DURGE that I had in my head for a while.

this is the end of the shadow of Durge, and his final goodbye to one of the most important person he had in his past.

it took me a bit to do it, but I'm quite happy how it look like^^

tell me what you think!

Hi! I love your art, shadow of durge was amazing! I was just wondering how did Gortash react to the news of Durge’s “disappearance”?

Heeeeeeyyy!!!! so sorry for the late reply Anon😭 social life is a difficult thing....

thanks you so much for the compliment, that means a lot for me, and I'm happy you like my comic!

So, for answer your question, I think it broke Gortash's heart to discover that Durge was "killed" by Orin, a wild card he had warned Durge about,

and the worse is that he can't even avenge him, because the grand plan, the plan that Bane want, the legacy left by Durge need Orin as the chosen one of Bhaal, now that Durge is missing.

We must understand that it was the first real relationship Gortash and Durge ever had:

-Gortash is to manipulative and patronizing with others to had something healthy with 'normal people', - Durge killed every sex partners he ever had, never having a emotional connection this deep for fear of his father

They did work very good together, they felt free with each other, balanced, happy to not be alone again...but the negative thing is that they had a lot of emotions, and they repress a lot of traumatic shit that were meant to explose anyway.

they handled disastrously their first real fight, and it caused a crack in their relationship, and they couldn't mend it, because Durge got lobotomized and Gortash though him dead.

so, when the news of Durge death arrived to Gortash, it destabilize him, making him feel lost, destroyed all the plans they both had created, rule together, LIVE together.

the fragile love and hope they had begun to grow was rip away, leaving Gortash mourning what they had....but the plan must go on

...this is to important than one man, his god, his lost love demand it...

(pardon my English, I try my best with it)

I love your durge x Gortash so much! I really enjoyed how Gortash reacted badly (tho valid) to Durge talking to Raphael in your comic, shadow of Durge. Not many people explore that angle regarding the ramifications of Gortash’s experience in the house of hope impacted him as a person.

hello Anon!

thanks for your kind words😊😊

I love exploring the humans interactions in BG3, and I think Gortash is one of the most interesting villan, do I decided to explore his character.

I think the fact that his family literally sold him to slavery, ending in the house of Hope as a child did traumatized Gortash a lot.

I think he didn't talk about this experience because that made him feel humiliated, and he just vaguely told Durge that he doesn't like devils, never explaining why.

(and look at his shoes, the have littles devils on it. as if Gortash want to squash them)

And that's miscommunication was the problem.

we see in the game that everyone is suspicious and untrusting about devils.

my Durge though his dislike was just the norm, so, calling at devil and see if they could help him to control the dark urges was not that big deal.

Raphael is a bitch, but a very intelligent bitch, and he had a hand in both Ketrich and Gortash past, and I think he checked on them from time to time to see if there was something interesting goin on.

so, think when he hear THE bhaalspawn head of the murder cult need some help just because he catched feelings for the little runt Raphael had as a slave in the past?

Raphael HAD to put his hands on him, but when my Durge refuse in the end to make a deal with him, Raphael took a little petty revenge, making sure Gortash knew about it, taunting him about the "deal" Durge wanted to do.

Gortash, didn't take it well, and he confronted Durge, angry as hell that Durge called a devil, THAT devil to resolve his problems, even after all the time he told him to never trust a their kind.

the strong emotions both had were so intense, that they didn't listen at each other, and that brought a crack in their relationship and the future lobotomy of Durge.

a normal night at the camp

when you are an amnesiac sweet guy who kill people when he's asleep and all your friends lust for you just because you are nice in general.

I think a prerequisite to understanding Durge and Gortash is understanding the movie Midsommar and its ending. Or rather, how people get lured into cults. It's probably weird to some, but people do incredibly fucked up shit as long as they're lonely enough. As long as they are starved of enough affection.

These guys were completely isolated. One murdered everyone they ever knew without meaning to, only to be snatched up by the person that would manipulate them, and the other one was rejected and discarded by everyone they loved before his brain could even develop properly. They were alone. The entire fucking world rejected them. Nobody batted an eye when they were suffering far beyond what anyone should have to go through. Everyone that mattered to them disappeared in the blink of an eye. At least Gortash certainly spent years like that, for Durge it's implied but tbf the initial event alone would've been traumatic enough.

And then, eventually, when they were at complete rock bottom, after suffering so much, so long, someone came along and offered them acceptance. Offered them affection, offered them the chance to belong somewhere. To have a place to be, a role to play. To be someone. To find people with the same mindset. To find people to admire and to be admired by. They were offered an escape from the overwhelming loneliness and grief. They were offered to be accepted for once.

People will ruin themselves to fit in or to gain the love of another. And they did just that. They blindly ran into the knife because they were promised to belong for once. Because of the simple promise they wouldn't be rejected.

It doesn't rectify what they did, but gods is it understandable that they did what they did. People have done worse for less. They are vile. They're monsters. They're horrible beings. But they were conditioned into it. They were manipulated to such a frightening degree that they willingly chose to follow masters who would torment them even after death, knowing what they were getting into, but still choosing it just to escape the fucking loneliness. They gave themselves up just to belong. They certainly are to blame, but so are the people who's sins they've inherited.

And just to be clear, that's also the major difference between Karlach and Gortash. Karlach initially grew up being somewhere, being accepted, being loved. Yes, she, too, was betrayed and sold, but she was an adult when it happened. She knew love. She knew what it was like. She could rely on that glimmer of a hope that the world didn't outright despise her. Gortash didn't. He was sold as a fucking child. He never knew. He didn't have the resources. He was just fucking desperate and already broken and crushed in ways you could never break Karlach. She had loving parents. Gortash's mother wished she would've killed him before he was even born. Karlach was loved once, Gortash has ever since been told the world would've been a better place if he simply didn't exist.

Also, congratulations, this makes durgetash so much more painful to think about. Cuz they were willing to reject whatever helped them survive for the affection of one another.
