Orin- Bloodthirst (Patreon)

helloooo!! hope you are all doing well!!!!

Some Orin for you all- since I painted Astarion with Rhapsody, I wanted to paint the other most fancy (probably even more popular) dagger belonging to our favorite lobster queen, Bloodthirst. At least those were the two daggers I had Astarion running around with in each fist by the end of the game lmao.

Still working to achieve a more painterly more earthy toned vibe with my pieces lately. Starting in B&W lets me isolate the values and kind of wash the painting in a few colors more like how you'd go about an oil painting. I have been really staying my hand with saturation these last several paintings. Ironically I personally don't really like super saturated artwork but I tend toward it in my paintings. I'm trying to use color a little more deliberately. My dream is to be able to achieve a somewhat vintage-esque Forgotten Realms vibe. I love 90's/early 2000's TTRPG art, in particular the old Planescape and Drow artwork.

This piece is the postcard in the October Print Club!! Remember, as a special October gift I'm including a Dragonborn Dark Urge sticker this time around along with the Gortash print!

I hope you are having a lovely start to your week everyone!
