A preview of the final variant theme, inspired from a scene of the original Twilight Zone. The final will also have a cityscape, but with a Lovecraftian film noir angle.

Digital painting of a mind flayer in a suit with glowing pink eyes, whose face and shoulders are in complete shadow. They are against a sickly green background with a portrait of H.P. Lovecraft on the wall. They say, "I use to be an "adventurer" just like you... NOTE: this scene was used purely for aesthetic and composition, not for the actual plot of the episode or who the person in the shadow is.

기쁨 Joy
어쨌거나 그들은 친구고, 연인이고, 가족입니다. 함께 있을 때 커다란 기쁨을 느낍니다. 단 둘이서 밤하늘을 보는 것도요.

Anyway, they are friends, lovers, and family. When we are together, we feel great joy. Looking at the night sky.

Digital painting of the opening scene of the game Baldur's Gate 3, but as an arid desert wasteland. The forground has dead trees, a motorcycle and a mind flayer (the emperor) in scavenged clothing and broken armor stands on a pedastal where the statue of Balduran was - and is broken behind him. His giantslayer comes with bullets, and the Wandering Eye is his War Rig. With his psionics he never misses, and deals the greatest damage of the variants. You will witness him.

When the adventure is over, they build a house by the sea and move in together. Living together is really tricky and difficult, but they will live with each other in their trust. It's still all we have to do to paint the future together. @theemperorweek.bsky.social

"What a day! What a lovely, LOVELY day!" ☄️ A cataclysmic event has left Faerun a desolate wasteland. The Chionthar River has become a canyon, and various factions fight over resources in the city's ruins.

Digital painting of a desert wasteland with dead trees, a motorcycle and a broken statue in the foreground, and the ruins of a city in the background. A standstorm is sweeping through.

(I thought about how to translate the word "Pride" into Korean.) They are proud of themselves. They are proud and confident, whether they are what they used to be or what they are now. I think having myself is more difficult than I thought.

One hazy morning, a clerk prepared to open their shop when they spotted two small figures at a window. On closer look they appeared to be...brains?! The clerk went outside, and watched the two *fly* off towards a tall man strolling by.

갈망 Yearning
황제는 어두운 충동의 고동 소리를 듣는 걸 매우 좋아합니다.

The emperor loves to hear the throbbing of darkurge.

Cyberpunk Emperor

#art #artsky #bg3 #bg3fanart #bg3au #BaldursGate3 #cyberpunk #cyberpunkart #illustration #digitalart #Procreate #illithid #mindflayer #TheEmperor #bg3emperor #TheEmperorWeek
Digital ilustration of a part mind flayer, part cyborg overing over a neon lit alleyway in the rain. This Emperor's mental blast can be channelled as a laser or to his limbs to enhance strength. He is the strongest and most durable variant of the group, capable of making light work of enemy groups equivalent to Orpheus’ Honor Guard or the Steel Watch.

The darkurge and the Emperor venture out of the city and into many places after the ending. As much as you can go, you see, hear, feel, and experience many things. Sometimes you rest. There are many beautiful things in the world. @theemperorweek.bsky.social

"I will be your Shield, but you must be the...Swords."

In @inemperorsname.bsky.social's and my universe, the Emperor is protecting (and is staunchly protected by) not just one, but two Swords:

❤️ Xal, his Right Hand & First Sword
🖤 Ayumu, his Left Hand & Second Sword
