Hi #PortfolioDay! Flowlithid here, a digital artist passionate about dramatic scenes, moody narratives & comic art styles; Focus on Illithid/monster-leaning characters & BG3 fanart.

Portfolio: cara.app/sunaiadarts/...

#BG3 #illithid #illithidoc #mindflayer #mindflayeroc #ocsky #D&D #digitalart
Digital comic style drawing of the Emperor from BG3 floating over a cobblestone ledge; portals around him open as versions of him from cyberpunk, steampunk, desert apocalypse and Lovecraftian universes join his side. The sky is overcast in red with the silhouettes of nautiloids in the clouds, and ember sparks float in the air. Digital drawings with 4 mind flayers, one looking futuristic and cybernetic, another in a suit, top hat and brassy mantle. A mechanical intellect devourer flies out with him. Another one looking like someone out of the Mad Max series, and the other in a disheveled suit, a mad, haunted look, a ghostly crest and shadowy hands. Behind him is an ominous city with Lovecraftian motifs. 3 digital drawings: left is a brown-skinned mind flayer in elaborate orange robe and messenger pigeons; middle is a dragonborn ink drawing, right is a pirate tiefling with their illithid form. Image collage of three illustrated scenes. Left is a low angle POV of a towering, fearsome ulitharid in black and purple armor strides towards a barricade, flanked by armored ulitharids. Two are about to cast something, and the bezerker is charging forward. Behind them are silhouettes of countless illithids. They are all getting shot at, but the bullets/blasts have no effect. Behind them, a lightning storm forms an ominous circle in the sky. Middle is two illithids composed like Bouguereau's "Abduction of Psyche." Right is a green skinned mind flayer in an elaborate dress.

Having something like this would spark a cosmic level of joy that words alone could never capture.

Thought this was neat and insightful. I collected some of the highlights here. The astro nerd side of me wants to pull a chart for Joss; I guess he was "born" here on May 9 😜

Also grateful for you all with your support and follows throughout the year 🙏

Joss would run a dad blog with tips around early childhood development. As a former mad god's proxy who raised over 750,000 illithids for bold & Grand Designs, he has unique insights on raising healthy, happy, precocious littles in big families. (Support their brain health with Omega 3s!)
A mock tiktok image of a pale gold eyed mind flayer in a light blue shirt behind a blurred Joanna Gaines-style white living room with the headline "Are your littles always bored? Try these 5 enrichments" Their username is Octodad4Realz. The rest reads "Tips from your friendly neighborhood mind flayer. #squiddad #squidcare #squidtok #colonyfun #brainfoods #wholesome Wii background music [HD]

I made a collage of the art, VPs & photo manips I made - the top right VP from @flowersinbloom.bsky.social, which I still love. Apart from the instances of Emp/young-old Balduran, this is all the same person. Top was when he was Lugribossk, the ones below are Jossiel in different timelines

My week. My month. My year. And still I somehow put stylus to screen and make what I do. As much as I do. While I can.

This photo of this octopus always making think its doing some haughty laugh at my expense.

🐙📷Oonagh (inaturalist.ca/observations...)
An East Pacific Red Octopus (Octopus rubescens) in a plastic container. It is up at the side, with one arm sticking to the side, going up and then curving down at the halfway point and then curling in a spiral at the tip. The octopus is looking out of the container, but they are at a slight angle and the curled arm is covering up the bottom of the head/top of the arms, making it sort of look like a person trying to cover a smirk on their face. Its mantle is going to the left and down, and the octopus has orange colour of differing shades.

Emp and Joss are not gonna be thrilled at learning the adult in charge left Cuddil and their friends unsupervised. Again.🥴

Early Xmas Gift #art for my husband: #JinDahaad his favorite monster from #MonsterHunterWilds. IMO this guy is much harder to draw than Emp's armor 😪

Whenever you make art you should make it the most self indulgent thing that has ever existed. make it so self indulgent ppl are like Hmm is this a fetish, they went so hard with it, wow, I don't even go here but maybe I do now

IDEA: After the 1st run, Emp & Joss replay the dream - only this time, Joss joins Balduran on his 2nd voyage. All they face are shared, including getting tadpoled/enthralled. However, Ansur only rescues Balduran & leaves Joss behind. The abandonment warps him towards the Absolute, then towards Shar.

Joss is an unusual case, as he's in multiple storylines, a couple where he's a Tav. I love all the creative possibilities with him visually and in writing. His duality is also fun to explore.

This is also my #DTPYSNOV25 last minute submission for @theposearchives.bsky.social

If you see this, QTP with a character that permanently altered your brain chemistry.

I was creatively deteriorated. I had prepared to quit art & live a very different life. But this guy pulled me into a timeline where I got my creative identity back. I’m astonished at all I’ve achieved since.

Made a meme thing in between projects, inspired by the post on the left and BlumWitch on Instagram. It's amusing to think of #TheEmperor being openly silly once and awhile 🦑🦑

#bg3emperor #mindflayer #illithid
Image of a Facebook post featuring Gwendolyn Christie and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from Game of Thrones in a photoshoot, where the latter is on tip toe. Their post (handle Old Valyria) reads: when you're both the same height but she decides to wear heels. On the right is a parody of the post in the form of a drawing featuring the Emperor in full huge regalia on tiptoe next to a pale Selunite mind flayer wearing high heeled boots. The post reads: when you're both the same height but he decides to wear heels.
