Another Baldur’s Gate 3 Fanart Notice

I finished my first playthrough, and I'm going to be drawing fanart of Roisia's experiences. Some of this fanart will contain spoilers, but I figure forewarned is forearmed. If you want to see some stuff, but not others, I've got a guideline for my own art.

Tumblr Filters

If you don’t want to see my BG3 fanart, you can filter tags and post content. (Here are some instructions on how to filter by tag while this article explains how to filter by text.) I will be using #BG3 and #Baldur's Gate 3 as generic tags if you'd like to see absolutely fuck all about the game.

I wanted to put the option out there for people who want to see some of my art without ruining their own experience so, in addition to the #BG3 Spoilers tag, I will also be using the tags #Act I Spoilers, #Act II Spoilers, and #Act III Spoilers. Block all three tags, unblock as you see fit, or keep them blocked and choose on a post-by-post basis! Hopefully that will give you more control over what you see coming from me and preserve your own game experience at the same time.

Unfollowing

Of course, I understand if you wish to unfollow me completely in order to protect your own experience of the game and/or to better curate your dashboard. If this is the best route for you, take it! You will not hurt my feelings. Unfollow away!

SIDE NOTE: COMMISSIONS

I am booked through 2024 and am now booking through 2025. After I schedule out 2025, commissions will be closed. Email me with your enquiry and I'll add you to the queue.

Reposting notice.

FYI for any artist out there who has drawn fan art for any of SJM's work, @/subliminallysatisfactorysuzy has been reposting fan art without credit and permission. @vivictory-draws was kind enough to tag and notify me that my artwork had been reposted. (Screenshot of reposted art under the cut.) I messaged Suzy privately requesting that my art be reblogged instead of reposted without credit, but received no response and consequently filed a DMCA notice.

I am trying to message any artist whose work has been reposted to notify them that their art has been reposted, but I need help for some of the works that do not have obvious/legible signatures. Here is a link to their Tumblr. Please do NOT harass this user, simply notify the artist if you can identify their work and inform them that they should file a DMCA Copyright Notification *if* they want their reposted artwork removed. (They may not care a jot! Who knows!)

Posts without attribution violate Tumblr's Community Guidelines under the following section:

DMCA forms can ONLY be filled out by the artist or a person authorised to act on behalf of the artist (e.g., a personal assistant, a lawyer, etc.). If you see reposted art that is reposted without proper attribution and a link back to the original source, please notify the artist if you are aware of their identity. Unfortunately, no action can be taken unless the creator (the legal holder of that copyright) or an authorised representative files a violation notice.

TL;DR: Roisia still doesn't think of any gods outside of Kelemvor. If she holds any other gods in contempt, it's a fleeting feeling because her thoughts of other gods are just as impermanent. More detailed analysis under the read-more.

ASDFLKAFDJADALFDJK I have not yet played all the way through my Bodran's Big Bad Bangin' Babes run so your guess is as good as mine!!! He would love to love them all. All at once, in groups, or one at a time.

My guess is that by Act III, Shadowheart and Lae'zel might still tolerate his presence. I think he is too self-interested, too hedonistic, and too unfeeling to be of great interest to Karlach while at the same time being too histrionic, too lazy, and too frivolous to be of significant interest to Minthara.

There was something about the changes made to the conversation that happens after the final battle that just made me laugh. Roisia 1) sleeps like the dead and 2) is the sort of sleeper who would cocoon herself in her own duvet, so not only would Astarion have to purposefully wake Roisia to have the conversation he wants to have, but, on top of that, all he would have to gaze adoringly upon would be a lump of duvet and a slip of bonnet. And Roisia is not the sort of person to gaze lovingly back at anyone when she awakes, no matter how beloved that person might be.

I am SO flattered you thought of Roisia ASDFLKJADFKJADKFJKLJ BUT YES, I SEE THE VISION. So here is my homage to the above book:

Also that looks like such a fun read so thank you as well for the book rec!

I'm still in a bit of an art funk, but I've also been mulling over what Roisia's non-adventurey life might have looked like in a Faerûn-But-Make-It-Modern-Magic setting. Wanted to get the clothing bit sorted out first.

Once again fantasising what Oskar Fevras' art might look like. A prequel of sorts, perhaps, to this.

Cazador was a disappointing Act III villain for me. He looked a little too much like a poor man's Strahd for my tastes, and I wanted to play around with a design that ran in the opposite direction. Although, that being said, in this reimagining he does take a page out of Strahd's book: I wanted him to be more suave, composed, and self-assured enough to be willing to chat, like a cat that wants to play with its scampering food.

Hah! Yes!! He's both an old character and an old man mer in his original universe in The Elder Scrolls series. He's 303 years of age by Skyrim/4E 201 if I'm recalling my own lore correctly. According to ESO, he should by all accounts be dead. (I could have sworn back in the ye olde Morrowind days that elves could clear 300 without breaking a sweat.) ANYWAY, while I've been pointedly ignoring ZeniMax and pretending everything is fine for him in the Elder Scrolls universe, I thought I'd show some gentle signs of ageing for BG3.

Roisia LOVES children. Children are the last thing on her List to be... acquired??? When crafting her List, she thought she wanted 3-5, but by the end of Act I, she wants about 10-15 additional, largely tiefling children.

She was endeared in particular to Doni, Mirkon, Silfy, and Mattis in Act I and with Ide and Umi in Act II. She took in Yenna without question.
