Still adding outfits to my Astarion digital paper doll. I’ve moved on from figure skating outfits. Anybody recognize the character/show that these outfits are from? I always thought this particular character and Astarion would cause delightful chaos together. #astarion #bg3 #fanart

A drawing of my Astarion paper doll. His outfit features black pants, a black mesh shirt with stars, a grey jacket with brown, black and dark green patches and black fur, and a blue scarf. He is also wearing converse sneakers.

Act 1 Astarion? No, I don’t think so, although I would be his friend and help him. I fear I am also faaarr too demi/acespec to ever get to the Act 1 romance scene. 😅 But spawn Astarion further in his healing journey? Yes. In fact, my husband reminds me in some ways of a more healed Astarion. (1/2)

Two more Astarion figure skating AU outfits for my paper doll before I move on to other outfits (and other projects). #astarion #bg3 #fanart #astarionau

A drawing of Astarion wearing two figure skating outfits. The first has a purple v neck shirt mixed with some black around the collar. The shirt has gold and silver sequins. His pants are black. The second outfit is a white shirt with white and silver feather shapes outlined with silver sparkles. The least shoulder and arm of the shirt is black criss cross fabric with the skin showing through. The right hand has an orange glove. The pants are black. This outfit is supposed to represent a swan.

If you see this, post a smiling OC! Hard not to smile when you’re lying in the grass with the love of your life. 🩵 #durge #astarion #bg3 #darkurgexastarion

A screenshot from BG3 of my dark urge Acadia and Astarion. They are lying in the grass. Astarion is facing upwards and Acadia is facing downwards but their heads are next to each other and turned towards each other. They are both smiling and Acadia’s eyes are closed. She is also cupping Astarion’s face with her hand.

Scapegoat and golden child. This is darker than my usual art and took forever to finish. I wanted to represent how I see Astarion and Leon as the scapegoat and (current) golden child in their vampire “family”, while showing how they are both trapped. #astarion #bg3 #fanart

A drawing of Astarion and his “brother” Leon from BG3. Astarion and Leon’s profiles are drawn in greyscale, facing away from each other in front of a black background. Astarion has a grey chain around his neck and Leon has a gold chain around his. The text from their scars are above their heads like halos, Astarion’s is in red while Leon’s is in gold.

Thank you @nyxikins.com for letting me draw your lovely Imara for the BG3 Pride giveaway! I really enjoyed this project. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

Sandpiper in Paradise@sandpiper-paradise· Jun 21

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula. What’s this? I posted a vampire that’s not Astarion?? I’m giving love to Leon Onufrio, Astarion’s “brother”, golden child, and my favorite of the other vampire spawn. In-game version and recreated in character creation (he cleans up nice).

A screenshot of Leon the vampire from BG3 from the scene when he shows up at camp trying to kidnap Astarion. He is frowning. His eyes are glowing red and he is bloody with blood dripping out of his mouth.

A screenshot of my attempt to recreate Leon in BG3’s character creator. In this version he no longer has blood on his face or glowing eyes, just regular red eyes. He is wearing sorcerer gear, since he is described as a sorcerer in game.

Next #bg3alphabet day! C is for Circus. Beware of bringing your rogue with you to the circus! You may end up in a situation like this… #bg3 #bg3screenshots #astarion #shadowheart #gale

A screenshot using BG3 photo mode. It shows a red and green circus cart with iron bars. My Tav, Emmeryn, Shadowheart and Gale are trapped inside. They are all wearing circus clothes and clown face paint. Em has her arms crossed and looks unamused. Shadowheart is shrugging and looks irritated. Gale is kneeling and dramatically reaching through the bars. Astarion is standing in front of the cart pointing up at his trapped friends with a mischievous smirk.

Probably not going to get time to take a new screenshot for today, so for B I’m going with everyone’s favorite adorable but wise miniature giant space hamster, Boo. 🐹 #bg3alphabet #bg3screenshots

Trying for a triple A for the first day of #bg3alphabet. Astarion, astral plane, and angel (fallen angel vibe this time). #bg3 #bg3vp #astarion #bg3screenshot

A screenshot of Astarion using photo mode. He is floating in the sky in the astral plane facing downwards with one hand stretched out and his feet up in the air. He has black wings and is wearing a black version of Orin’s outfit. He is splattered with blood. The sky behind him is blue and purple with a burst of light.

Sandpiper in Paradise@sandpiper-paradise· Jun 1

My current rotation: - BG3, mainly to take pretty pics. - Zelda TotK, another fave. - Ty the Tasmanian Tiger HD, found on sale on Switch, nostalgia ensued. - Coral Island, farming sim + beach vibes? Yes, please!

I’m late but finally joining in today with one of my lucky shots for early on in my photo mode experimentation when I was playing around with spellcasting. #bg3pmbirthdayweek26 #astarion #bg3screenshots

I’m a day late, but I didn’t want to let this month’s #birdwhisperer prompt go by! Adorable black-cheeked lovebirds. 🪶 #birds #birdart #natureart #sciart

A drawing of two black-cheeked lovebirds. They are sitting close together on a branch and the one on the right is gently nibbling on the one on the left. The background is green watercolor in the shape of a heart and there are henna-style vines going up the side,

Thanks for the art share! I make drawings from a variety of fandoms. BG3 is currently consuming my soul, but I also like to draw nature and animals.

Profile pic, the full picture. Summer Surfstarion. I’m as ready for the warm weather and beach days as he is! ☀️

A portrait of Astarion tilting his head back and smiling with an open mouth showing off his fangs. He is wearing aviator sunglasses and a shark tooth necklace. There is a frame around the portrait with ocean waves and a sun.

Congratulations for hitting a well-deserved milestone and thank you for the chance! Emmeryn would love to star in a video. I’m on console, so all her mods are in the mod manager.

Sandpiper in Paradise@sandpiper-paradise· Jan 8

#tavqotd How about both?? Emmeryn is my OG Tav, a sassy but sweet Bard. Acadia is my new resist Durge Druid. Each brings a different energy to their relationship with Astarion and represents a different part of me, in a way.

A screenshot from BG3 featuring Astarion and my Bard Tav, Emmeryn. They are standing in front of of the stained glass windows in the water Queen’s house and striking a sassy pose.

A screenshot from BG3 featuring Astarion and my Druid Tav, Acadia. They are sitting on a log over a stream in front of a waterfall. Acadia has her head resting on Astarion’s shoulder.

Unbothered. Moisturized. At peace. In the sunshine. Flourishing. #astarion #bg3 #bg3screenshots #bg3photomode
