(Time for a new intro post!) Hi, I'm Jaki! I’m an illustrator & designer, and I make the comics Ladykillers and KISMET (currently on hiatus)!
I also make fanart, from time to time:
Phaedra plays Baldur’s Gate 3 (Phaedra x Gale comics in chronological order below ⤵️)
If you'd like to support my work, I have a Patreon and a Shop (currently closed)
I just wanted to add on to the pile :D LOL <3
…after many years of being away from tumblr + not diligently checking my messages now that I’m sort of using this platform again, my inbox is A DISASTER
I am so so sorry if I did not get to your ask if you sent something to me in between now and the year 2016, but I am officially Declaring Inbox Bankruptcy as of today 💀💀💀
Hello, i just found you and I can't stop looking at all your art and spamming my friends with it why is everything you make such pure gold???
I wanted to make a joke about King Midas, but realistically I’m more of a janky off-brand Rumplestiltzkin, using my art hand to spin straw into bullshit LOL
i really love the way you use colors in your work, the different hue overlays or saturation levels really help make all the forms distinct and pop from one another but still seem like a unified whole, its marvelous!!!
also i love gale and i express my love by pulling his pigtails so that is also my jam
Thanks so much!! I’ll let you in on a little secret—I actually do all of the baseline colors for my BG3 comics in grayscale, then slap a gradient map on top. As someone who is Not Great With Color, this is a pretty surefire way to maintain a unified color palette.
Here’s a tutorial on using gradient maps in Procreate (I made this AGES ago, so it may be a little out of date):
(I use Clip Studio now, so let me know if folks want a tutorial for that program too!)
PS: there are two wolves inside me, and both of them want to bully Gale (affectionately 🤣)
I love your art! Your tav is super pretty and cute and energetic and fun! And I also love your Gale being such a silly and astarion watching the show, however I feel like he will lock gale and tav in a room and -swallow- the key just so these lovebirds get on with the program. XD also your shading and anatomy and lineart art so smooth! 10/10 ♡♡♡
Aww thanks so much, anon! I’m glad you enjoy my BG3 comics with Phaedra 😁
When the netherese orb in your chest ruins your love life for a SECOND time 🤣
What’s so funny is that I found you on Instagram, saw that you were getting ready to release a webcomic so went to Webtoons, and now I found you on tumblr with BG3 art. I cannot escape you and I’m not complaining 🥰🥰
YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CANT HIDE
(Also: I’m sorry/you’re welcome for blowing up all your feeds with my content 🤣)
I just binged all of Ladykillers and I absolutely loved it!! I love your art style and the characters' personalities are so much fun. My favorite is Mal but they're all amazing. I can't wait for future updates!!
Ah thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed Ladykillers. I’m hard at work behind the scenes prepping for Season 3, but if you’re hankering for more Ladykillers content in the meantime, please allow me to direct you to the Ladykillers AO3 tag, which, inexplicably, contains a bunch of fanfic???
Sending all my love to the INCREDIBLY TALENTED, SMART, CULTURED, AND SEXY PEOPLE who have written fic?? Of my silly OCs????? I do not understand what I have done to deserve this but am immensely grateful nonetheless 🥰🥰🥰
…has someone made this joke before??
Every time I see “Dark Justiciar Shadowheart” abbreviated to “DJ Shart”, this is what my brain thinks of 🤣
💜🧙♂️🔮✨
(I promised the folks on Insta that I’d post a pic of shirtless Gale if I got 50k+ likes on my last comic, and I am HERE TO DELIVER)
Came for the Gale art, definitely staying for the sapphic OCs because holy shit, I love them????? Thank you for sharing your art with the world!
I’m so glad!! Ladykillers is my current passion project—I’m delighted to hear you like my disaster trio 😁😁😁
(For the uninitiated, Ladykillers is on Webtoon Canvas! If you like goofy sapphic DnD-flavored shennanigans, you’ll probably enjoy it 😁)
your gale/tav fanart came up on my dash and i immediately was like i know this art style…… i distinctly remember seeing and loving your art for dai way back when. just wanted to pop in and let you know it made me happy to see you’re creating awesome stuff for another game i’m obsessed with so many years later! much love!!
Haha—I can’t believe how long it’s been since my Dragon Age: Inquisition fanart days!! So fun to run into someone from a previous fandom again 😁
What BG3 outfit do you draw Phaedra in? She looks so cute but I swear I have been unable to find that outfit during my playthroughs.
Haha that’s because I designed it myself! I tried to take inspiration from the existing styles in BG3, but this is sadly not something that exists in-game. 🤣
We all know Scratch is the best boy 😁 (sorry Gale)
No one asked for this, but here I am, delivering anyway 🤣 Pls enjoy this steamy Karlach in the wavemother’s robe!
💎ICE ICE BABY💎
…this was February’s sticker design, which I forgot to post, and now it’s March 😅
