Astarion meets Sebastian in the Mermaid Inn with the intent to seduce him and bring him back to Cazador. He has caught Sebastian’s eye drawing his attention to him by lifting his chin up to see the vampire more closely. Astarion is dressed in his Early Access attire as a nod to this being a story that takes place before the contents of the video game Baldur’s Gate 3. Easter Eggs: In the background from left to right, a green half orc and a salmon tiefling are slipping out of the inn. These two are a nod to my husband and myself. A pink haired kitsune man is accompanied by a pitch black tiefling as he confronts an elf with surprising pale skin and red eyes along side her elf tiefling body guard. These four are characters belonging to myself and some friends of mine in other Pathfinder 2 games. Finally there is a humanoid woman with panther ears smiling at a grey, one horned tiefling. These two are characters from a Dungeons and Dragons game than myself and a friend are playing. A close up of Sebastian’s profile. Since we only see him already turned to a vampire spawn in game I debated on what his eye color would be. I thought it would look striking if he contrasted Astarion’s vibrant red eyes with blue eyes so I went with that. His eyebrow is turned up shyly and his deep smile digs into his cheeks forming deep smile lines. A close up of Astarion’s profile while he seduces Sebastian. His eye is half lidded and he smiles flashing his fang. He looks cold and calculated. A close up of the half orc and tiefling in the background. The half orc man wears a toga over one of his shoulders while smiling deviously at the tiefling. The tiefling person clings desperately to him with a large, fanged grin and sheepishly begs him with their eyes.

Another piece for @astarionfanzine.bsky.social - #fanartforfanfiction again because I LOVE working close with authors. This time for archiveofourown.org/users/Once_U... who is an incredible writer!
#astarion #abdirak #bg3nsfw #capdoesart
Illustration for an Astarion Fanzine depicting Astarion and Abdirak. Astarion is seen in the center bottom of the image, facing the viewer frontally and opening up his arms and looking straight forward. Abdirak looms behind him, his left hand raised with a nine tailed whip in his hand, the thorny strands of it pointing at Astarion. His right hand lays softly on the spot where Astarion's bite marks are. A halo of violent red is surrounding Abdirak, and shadowy, dark hands are crawling at Astarion from the bottom of the image. I am extremely proud of this piece because at the first glance it is not even that nsfw - it goes hand in hand with Sasha's incredible writing, where violence and absolution create a wonderful, tender piece.

Fanart of a vampire named Astarion from the video game Baldur's Gate 3. Astarion lies in the water, the pose is inspired by a famous Ophelia painting. It's a night time and distant city glowing in a distance. There are plants and a big willow tree going around the frame of the drawing.

#bg3nsfw #kar'niss #astarion #capdoesart
Digital illustration of Astarion and Kar'niss: Astarion with his back to the viewer, in the embrace of Kar'niss and his face half-hidden in the drider's shoulder. Astarion is naked and pale against the dark, armor-like skin of the drider. Kar'niss' face is half hidden by Astarion's white locks, his eyes gently closed and his right hand swooping around Astarion's back to lay gently on the scars of the vampire's back. His pedipalps protectively wrapped around Astarion's waist and upper legs, one of his giant and sharp looking drider legs crossing the image from upper right to lower left corner as a visible barrier - the drider is holding the vampire like a precious, white-glowing marble statue.
