I had this one bookmarked for a long time because I love this idea. #TavQotD Alakil-- Sword Dancer, which lets him use longswords as a monk weapon a la Way of the Kensei. In lore he was ejected from the Sword Dancers post transition because it is a female only order, but the skills remain. (1/5)

I'm leaning toward 2 for this guy

I cannot sleep At All so I am going to full force OC yap about the Tav Stack until it actually knocks me unconscious. Part one, I need a better name for this specific group of seven characters than the Tav Stack. Part 2, the format means they interact with each other in unique ways. (1/idfk man)

I tried out some new hairs on Alakil only to eventually land on "the original one, but more bun" lmao

"Ratboy" is very much a "wear the insult like armor" situation, and in drowic it is derogatory to an extent that makes it uncomfortable to say for certain people. Its been years since anyone called him his proper name, and it probably feels a little weird to hear it now. #tavqotd (1/4)

Okay yeah the elongated snout and flatter crest is improving this situation, I think I can get this guy semi expressive before he shows up on screen.

Having one of those awful ADHD moods where my brain is desperate for stimuli but also totally unable to focus in on any.

random tav stack faces

Using both of those swaps this year oh yeah. I couldn't resist giving each card different characters for thematic reasons. artfight.net/~swanbrother

Day 12: Body Diversity. I try to vary it up some! #bg3art #bg3fic #tavqotd

I picture every Tav in the replies who never want to eat a vegetable stealthily scraping their unwanted veg onto Rat Boy's plate like they're feeding it to a dog under the table. He has no idea what he's eating but he now has a lot of it so he's clearly winning. (do mushrooms count?) #tavqotd

71, end of chapter extras

Check out my BG3 comic! I tossed a bunch of my Tavs into a single huge party. Hilarity ensues. Main Page Here: hostatthegate.tumblr.com Also Here: www.deviantart.com/swanbrother/... And Here: archiveofourown.org/works/772819...

pg 70 Couldn't sleep, finished chapter, holy shit Plot twist tho, one of the Tav Stack is a secret Durge. Which one is it? Lol, lmao.

pg 69 Hmm. Gross.

Green/Nature! #bg3art #bg3fic #tavqotd Grenna is the only person having a good time in the Emerald Grove.

pg 68 Baby Wyll has twists bc he's fourteen and I wanted his look to have changed in the last decade. No scars, eye intact, a different era. Basically a different lifetime. Florrick is wearing a different outfit and otherwise looks exactly the same. Elves.

pg 67 I have done parts of my task but I keep having to wait for people to email me back, which is giving me downtime that is good for drawing and bad for my life. First appearance of Baldur's Gate in my Baldur's Gate comic! About 75 chapters ahead of schedule! I've introduced some Wyll Content.

pg 66 The plan forms, explaining why Wyll is teaching tief kids how to sword fight when the rest of the party shows up even though he seems otherwise really determined to track down Karlach immediately.

"Sunlight" Laws's storm motif makes him a good target for "sun cutting through the clouds" moments. That the eventual personal revelation is in part brought on by the restorative power of gay love makes him a good target for this prompt. #tavqotd #bg3fic #tavqotd #bg3 #bg3art

she felt eyes

pg 65 You can always spot me trying to avoid a task IRL because I'll crank out an entire page in the course of like a day.

I'm a bit ahead on the calendar prompts so here's Laws trying really hard to resist a personal revelation.

gentlemen, there are SEVENTEEN PEOPLE in this hotel room at the end of act three can you do this Anywhere Else

not the actual dialogue but this panel makes me laugh This is characterization for Ulder as much as Wyll cause that look is pure Dad.

pg 64 Story checks out. Team High CHA makes a hasty exit. Nettie is having just the WORST time.

Orange/Healing #tavqotd Man this character is UNRECOGNIZABLE a couple years post epilogue. Branching out w/gender presentation, put some weight on, hair grew out, plants watered etc. "Fell asleep sitting up" seems to still be a recurring pose, but it's "cat lounging in the sun" flavor now lol

Dell agreed to try out Volo's solution. Oops. Inexplicably, the Volo eye stays in place post ceromorphosis. #tavqotd

Pride Calendar Day 2! #tavqotd Later Act 1 Dell, Act 2 Jack, and Act 3 Wyll have the best looking gear combos planned. I included the screenshots only for the colors and had no reason to pose anyone, especially the NPCs, and yet.

#tavqotd pride calendar ayy Sometimes life will fuck you up, and then you pick up and keep going. That's been this guy A Lot. Refuse to quit. Become seemingly unkillable. Be a fucked up old crocodile. This has gotten away from me. Anyway. Day One: Red/Life

Thinkin about this TavQotD-Inspired fic again. A lot of things fucked Rat Boy up. The various kinda-sorta stepdads definitely had their part to play. 2744 words. CW For every single kind of abuse, like whoa. Mostly not explicit on-screen, but it's there. archiveofourown.org/works/85682411

pg 63 You definitely got hit with the edge of a table and not the blunt end of a sword at all. +3 CHA squad turns it around! Nettie is a character that gets filed as dead if you knock her out, which I didn't like and as such took liberties with.

combined two crests to get those curved horns + get rid of that silly little nose horn thing

P 62: 8 STR squad moves an unconscious dwarf successfully, but Wyll is annoyed about it. Fight what fight we weren't fighting, what's a mindflayer

I got to draw, just a little bit, after finals. and now I have to drive for A Long Time ;__;

I'm not 100% sure what this is actually a scale of but I feel like it is one

Drawing while i wait for lunch to be done because I will die in the study hole otherwise. WIP featuring tiny clipping of the post its based on, y'all know the one

I keep seeing BG3 screenshots where NPCs are posed alongside Tavs and companions in photomode. What do people use to do that? I've seen various mods that do some version of it but they're all a bit different from each other. Is there a commonly accepted best one? Does anyone in my orbit have recs?

Run, babies!

May 3rd PSA, its the first day of Dracula Daily draculadaily.substack.com/about

Sorry bud, you gotta remember Zav'dos is also from the underdark. She's dealt with worse things than you.

throw the wizard off his rhythm

still trying to figure out how to draw Bodies instead of studying

61 OKAY NO FOR REAL THIS TIME last page before finals. A class got cancelled and I was fully desperate to not do the assignment I should have been doing so I banged out another page in like two hours. Dammit brain this is the last one I gotta study

60. Likely last page before finals babeyyy

fucked up old crocodile
