Baldur's Gate fanartists will draw Astarion like a renaissance painting and Wyll like the cover of an adventure novel and Gale like a Leyendecker drawing and Karlach like the cover of a trashy romance novel (where she is the beefy hunk and her love interest is the swooning maiden) and Lae'zel like a knight in a manuscript and Shadowheart and Minthara like the cover of a lesbian pulp novel and Halsin coming out of a lake like the bear equivalent of the Birth of Venus and they're all so right
I like to think that Gale just zones out 1/4th of the way into an evil playthrough. You kill a bunch of innocent tieflings and Shadowheart has to take over as the moral compass because Mr. Dekarios has checked out completely.
“It is only because of you that I did not meet the same fate as Orin, lost to madness and blood. If you had killed me when we first met, I would have been just one more casualty of your crusade against the Absolute… and nobody would remember me.” -Minthara
This took 3 weeks to make. This is the best project I have done in a very long time. I normally don’t like a lot of my work because I always find something about them. I love Minthara and Karlach from BG3 so much. Down to their writing and their witty ways. I hope this painting captures what this character means to me. I really hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. I will be posting it on twitter, TikTok and facebook. Thank you all so much for your love and support everyone. I truly can’t thank you all enough.
