I'm playing BG3 for the first time (very late to the party, I know), and what do you mean I can’t bang that white reptile murder machine, only play as it????

A digital painting of a vast underground dungeon lain with greyish-blue bricks, ornamented stones and pillars. The main walkways are raised above a lava chamber and covered in fine red carpet with gold embroidery. It is a maze-like ruin with paths and stairways leading left and right to various walkways and doorways. The scene is lit by hanging metal chandeliers clasping large illuminated crystals. The main hall leads back to a raised portcullis, behind which is a winding hallway that twists as if the fabric of space has warped. There are elegant vases on either side of the stone rails bordering the entryway to the main chamber. One vase has been knocked over and shattered open, and you can see rats scurrying about among the gold pieces and ruby fragments that were once inside. Pillars more than twenty feet tall line the main hall, and a strange maze-like rune lies on the floor before a parapet with triangular openings which leads down to the molten lava. Bats are circling and swooping through the scene, no doubt due to your disturbance in this long forgotten tomb. Artifacts, gold and magic are abound in this deep, forgotten place. The pathway left leads to a short staircase guarded by gargoyles, which leads up to a raised stone basin or platform surrounded by a circle of pillars. There is a decorative red cloth draped through the hall high on the pillars, which leads to this platform and marking it with some significance. On a red stone pedestal lies a gauntlet surrounded by flames. This is clearly an item of incredible power. The right path from the center hall leads over path with the statue of a knight standing on a pedestal, guarding a short pillar which is holding a red potion bottle. The end of that path is marked by a tomb with a cross before a stairway leading to multiple doorways. Clearly there is much to explore here, do you dare to continue? Or turn back for fear of what you might learn? I chose to keep exploring, until this painting was complete.

A closeup of the raised stone basin or platform on the left side of the scene. Here you can see the fiery gauntlet, in all of its glory. Magic particles float through the scene, and bats circle and swoop furiously around the pillars surrounding the platform.

A closer view of the upper left part of the main chamber. Here you can see the tops of the blue pillars are decorated with the face of what looks like a woman. The pillar in the foreground has a crystal in the forehead of the being which is illuminated, and a mysterious red liquid drips from the closed eyes of the face almost like tears. You can see the details of the metal chandeliers, and crystalline lighting. Cob webs are strewn through the scene and spread from the chandeliers over the decorative cloth that is draped across the ceiling and pinned above the pillars by gold medallions. Bats can be seen hanging below the overhang, and around the tops of the pillars throughout the hall.

On the right side of the scene we see a path guarded by a knight's statue standing on a round pedestal. There is a short pillar behind the statue, which holds a red bottle of some kind. The end of the path is marked by a tomb bearing a cross, and lies before a stairway which leads up to a raised path that leads left and right to even more doorways.

I've seen artists sharing their most detailed work lately so here is mine. This is one piece that I spent over 100 hours on.

I could write a short book on all the things I learned while painting this. For example: sometimes less is more, and more is just too much. But that's better than not enough.

Charline the pink tiefling is wielding her rapier in a dynamic pose towards the viewer. She is surrounded by pink and purple clouds and wears her blue-purple outfit with a greyish blue cape.

Tried out a bit of a style and lineart experimentation, and of course who else would be a better subject for this but my beloved Charline 🥺💕

A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."

Ow thank you! Rendering fabric always frustrate me because I feel like I don't know how cloth folds. It's nice to hear it doesn't look bad! :D

Weird witch twin sisters, the one with the cloth in her head hides snake hair (like Medusa) and the other girl can control her shadow. Really interesting characters tbh!
