The image of Astarion as flamboyant Dracula was too much to ignore. Twitter: / indigonite0 Instagram: / indigonite0 Tumblr: / indigonite Audio from the Dracula: a Comedy of Terrors play
I love how much the "Please note that you have entered under no duress and of your own free will" for "Liability issues" makes so much sense for Astarion the former magistrate.
I need you and everyone else to know that "Enter freely and of your own will" is exactly what Dracula says to Johnathan Harker at the beginning of Dracula by Bram Stoker. Not only that, I just confronted Cazador in my personal BG3 game and someone at the front door of the mansion literally says to your character "enter freely and of your own will" and I lost my mind and had to run around my apartment and check my copy of dracula to make sure that was a word for word quote.
I appreciate that Astarion doesn't look like an 20 year old twink like most artists seem to draw him. He's 39. He's a magistrate - man has a law degree and everything. He looks best when he's distinguished.
This! People seem to have a really hard time drawing characters that are both sexy and over 20 years old lol It's either a twink or an impossibly muscular hairy man (usually Halsin), no inbetween
Ur right, but actually he needs to look young lmao. According to the lore, Elves pretty much stop aging after 25 and age 1/10 the ratecof humans every decade. He actually needs to look young. But I headcannon his looks to the stress from 200 years.
Astarion casually squeezing his hand 😂 Also love how Wyll isnt greeted lmao it feels like he's either standing in the corner or left outside Edit: Y'all I didn't mean "love" as in "I hate Wyll and think he's uninteresting" I just meant that it's comedic. I genuinely like his character, I just thought the video glossing over him was funny
@@brandondennis7527 I’m glad I’m not the only one who always leaves him at camp 😂 he is so uninteresting compared to the others. I always have Gale and Astarion, but rotate the 3rd between Karlach (mostly her), Shadowheart when it’s “her scenes” (ie nightsong/shar area), and Halsin when I want an extra Druid for owlbear shenanigans. (Laezel only joined during the creche area)
Love the way you made Astarion in your style somewhat resmble his VA Neil, even right down to the sleeveless tops he wears in his BG3 livestreams 🤣 Also you really captured his drama-queen expressiveness. Also, that drow saxophonist was just 🤌well done!
I think the expressions as well as the outfit is from the trailer of "Dracula: a comedy of terrors". In the scene, Dracula wears the exact same shirt. Still love this animation is though
I LOVE your style, no hate on other people's artistic interpretation of astarion but I'm very picky when it comes to him being stylized haha, you nailed it!!
I’m glad you like it! There’s a lot of very gorgeous art of him out there but I admit I do like him being more dramatic and expressive. And if you can’t find what you want, gotta do it yourself hahahah
@LewisRJHope He literally looks late 20s-early 30s in the game what are you smoking, they draw him that way bc people think aging is ugly and want to draw him as a young twink
To me he looks more late thirties tbh, I think he has stress lines or something. People draw him as a young twink because he's an elf, and lorewise an elf of his age before turning should look younger than he does. @@lonely_saturn
This is going somewhat off topic but I LOVE this so much. Not only because it's objectively great content, but also because this somehow gave me that final burst of inspiration I needed to finally start drawing again and try my hand at animating a little bit. Likely not intentional, but I thank you nonetheless!
I don’t know how to express how happy that makes me. Not to be cliche but art is born out of passion, so knowing that doing something I love helped inspire someone to also go back to doing something they enjoy is heartwarming, to say the least hahah Thank you for sharing, really 💕
this is technically the video that officially gets me into the fandom because it's only now, with this, that I want to watch gameplay, play the game myself, make fanfics, etc. Thanks. Also I'm munching on your art rn
Definitely play it, it's so good ❤ especially after all the bad and half finished greedy-company games we have been subjected to, BG3 is such a nice treat!
Usually I’d say to keep your expectations on check because memes can be a bit exaggerated, but not here. It really has stuff like this in game, it’s great, you’re not gonna regret it.
Slinking in here before this absolutely blows up! You have such an incredible art style and talent! As Asterion would say, it's rather something special. ✨️
I am now motivated to write a fanfic where Astarion suddenly lands into the plot of Dracula. Days before the start of the novel, Dracula suddenly vanishes and now Astarion takes his place. Now he has to talk to Jonathan as if he has any idea who he is or what's going on, is like, "Sweet, I now own several houses and someone else paid for them," and moves to England. Also, Sebastian took the place of the Brides.
I love how a bunch of people saw the Dracula comedy, and collectively overlapped Dracula with Astarion. And oh gods, how RIGHT they are! This is perfection ❤
The expressions, the art styles, the gorgeous colouring and framing. You are one to watch out for! You are so talented and the body humour is so good as well and this reference is perfect for Astarion. He looks soooo beautiful in your style. His pretty smile lines and devilish smile 💅 Can’t wait to see more
Ahhhhh I know this art! I know that Tav! I LOVE, ABSOLUTLY LOVE, how you draw the characters. Not as young freakishly beautiful people. But more grounded and true to their age and I am ALL FOR IT.
I can't count how many times i've watched it already on insta and now that i've found it on youtube i will keep replaying it here too 😍 you draw them sooo well!!
This is amazing!!!!!!! Freaking love the sass you gave Astarion!Also, you have really stretched the word "Animatic" here with a bit of polishing this would be a 11/10 animation!❤❤
This video is all over my tumblr dash, this video made bg3 trend again on tumblr AND it is the first video i get recommended upon opening youtube? godspeed, op, godspeed xD
