Just thought back to all the absolutely absurd game guides claiming you Had to do so and so to romance a companion- I wonder how many people didn't play the way they wanted because half-baked guides told them they couldn't get with (x) if they didn't have the tiefling party, or that you HAD to get Shadowheart the idol of Shar AND night orchid etc etc.

This genuinely kind of ruined my perception of those types of online guide articles lol. I knew a lot of it was bordering on slop but it's crazy how many of them try to look competent by confidently affirming information that is flat out wrong

golden+selunite, and silver+DJ :] i'm too fickle.. read more for different versions

here's the alternative colours, the lineart, and the background i wasn't happy with. spent a lot of time on this one and guess i should have planned a background first, because solid colour felt too boring.

i'm not really satisfied with this, but oh well, learn from our mistakes and all that. i should do actual studies instead probably

Picturing shadowheart getting freckles for the first time after years of being in the darkness and shadows. She and Tav settle down at their cottage/farm and she has to get used to how staying in the sun for long periods of time would affect her skin. Y'all know this girl would BURN so easily 😭

Mapped out my next paint study. I've been wanting to recreate this painting for awhile now and it's so Minthara-coded imo.

Anyways while racism in the writer's room is definitely a thing and does affect how black characters are written and portrayed, to say "well this character wasn't written well (because of racism) so THAT'S why I find them boring!" is just disingenuous and trying to shove blame elsewhere.

Wyll may have been shafted in terms of writing, but he still clearly had more effort and time put into him than Halsin. And yet out of those two characters, which one is more popular in the fandom?

Dragon Age: Inquisition may bend over backwards to make Vivienne seem like a villain at times, and her opinion on the Vircles is a bit complex, but that game also has Cullen in it - who was an antagonist for two previous games, and also has even stricter views on mages and the Circles. And out of the two of them, who's the one people are more forgiving to?

Preston Garvey might have a bugged radiant quest that means he says the same thing over and over and over again, but why is it annoying when he does it and endearing when it's characters in other games? (Brynjolf's "Sorry lass, I've got important things to do" comes to mind)

While yes, we should hold writers and developers accountable for the racism they bake into their games, this does not change that fandom is a transformative space. Fandoms will regularly take characters who were underwritten, who were treated poorly by their source material, or who were overlooked, and create beautiful works of art and fiction surrounding them.

So it's quite telling when they refuse to do this with the black characters.

i always wanted to make something that would connect old bg games with bg3 through a returning character, latest theme of our zine “Mirrors and Memories” was perfect for it

incidentally my bhaalspawn and tav are some of the saddest characters i’ve ever made but they are trying so. hard. okay.
