Very very much belated giveaway prize for @generalstephkenobi !! We have a sunbathing Astarion, my absolute fave 😌✨ It was so nice getting to draw him, and I'm so happy with how this turned out~
For @olivepdf sun and moon bingo ~ middle row down. Excerpt under the cut is from my precanon fic, Their souls were knit together (and he loved him as himself). You'll also find a non shaded version for extra details ✨️
One hand remained on Nicolò’s flushed cheek, but Yusuf moved back just enough to hold his now free hand up between them, as Nicolò slipped the ring over the first knuckle, “Yusuf, I - I will honor and cherish you for the remainder of my days,” He lowered the ring further down, his voice raspy as he tried to finish the vows in the Arabic he had been trying to learn for months now, “I pledge myself to you with sincerity, and honesty, and humility.” And Yusuf had been so utterly unprepared for it, that it didn’t even matter if he butchered the pronunciation, it was the sentiment behind it that made him hold Nicolò even closer as he mumbled against Yusuf’s shoulder, “And - And I love you - “
“I love you, too,” Yusuf dipped his head beside his, his voice trembling as he spoke the words that were stitched onto his very soul, “For as long as our God allows us to be together, I will love you all my days.”
“I will as well,” Nicolò whimpered, his hands flexing against Yusuf’s side before he pulled back to look up at him with blotchy eyes, “My apologies for the tears.”
“I do not mind them,” he said with a reassuring smile, as he gently wiped them away, his own ring catching the light of the candle beside them, but unable to look at anything but his husband, his Nicolò, his forever.
The tension in Nicolò’s face broke with a wet laugh, a quick reflection that it was likely not the last time he would cry in front of him, and Yusuf barely had a chance to tease him right back about it - before Nicolò tipped his head to kiss him.
And everything was lovelier than it had ever been.

some before-and-after pictures of how I’ve been using AI generated images in my art lately 🤖
I share other artists’ concerns about the unethical nature of the theft going on in the training data of AI art algorithms, so I refuse to spend any money on them or to consider the images generated by them to be true art, but I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts on using it for reference and paint-over like this?
my hope is that with proper regulation and more ethical use, AI could be a beneficial tool to help artists - instead of a way that allows people to steal from us more easily.
