*an in-game contradiction between Gortash and Durge. See: ‘Test Mission with Gortash’ and ‘Memoir Notes with Recent Addenda’. I’ve placed it after, but there’s also a legitimate argument to be made that Gortash and Durge met and became allies much earlier, possibly around the same time as Gortash’s betrayal of Karlach
**no link cuz the bg3.wiki doesn’t have it??
This poster took me a week to make and I'm so happy with it!! Definitely learned some things transferring book cover design skills over to a poster but it was fun!
So I was writing a small paper in Microsoft Word and the program suddenly crashed (I saved a couple minutes before, thank god) and I get this message in the corner of my screen two seconds afterward
what the fuck
When not only you’re done with the paper, but the paper is done with you.
im going to be,,,,uploading my twitter art here too lol
bg3 so far (illustrated):
@pascalishere your post was too amazing I had to draw it out
Fate spins along as it should.
Baldur's Gate in Darkest Dungeon style, two of my most favorite games!! This isn't my usual style but I've absolutely fallen in love with it after creating this piece! I may make more work like this in the future!
I got hella DD vibes from the Shadowlands in Act 2, which inspired me to make this!
