 My favorite companion in BG2, the wonderfully chaotic neutral Tiefling from Sigil, Haer'dalis.

Probably the most talkative companion in the game and I always love to hear what he says. Quite a verbose fellow being a bard (well, okay a Blade technically), but I love that his focus is acting and showmanship. I have a real love for lore about Sigil, and of course a Tiefling from Sigil is always going to steal my heart. I miss when Tieflings were just weirdlings. He has a marvelous romance/friendship mod that expands his interaction in the game, but last I heard it's quite difficult to acquire. I have backups of it if you ever need it, just let me know. I had to scrounge and scrounge for it a while back.

and hey, I made a progress gif! The B&W to color technique is really helping me rein in my colors in general. I wanted to do a piece with an involved background/gesture/lighting to push myself and see what I can do with this technique. I find myself stressing a LOT less working this way as I can really see where I'm going. I can struggle with visualizing an end point about midway through a painting so this really helps steady me.

hope this is interesting, and that you may give BG2 a try to meet this wonderful lad (and swoon whenever he calls you "My Raven")

This is so freaking pretty??? I love how the fire casts the shadows and soft glow on his skin and clothes!

feyspeaker

thank you!!!! ;A; I was trying to go for something a little more stylized this time so I could really push the mood

tyshalae

Ohhhhh the way you did his hair is stunning what a smokeshow!

So much storytelling in that pose! I love how you can practically hear him spinning a campfire tale for whatever companions are also around the fire. And I love the colour palette of the whole piece. 🥰

This is SO well done! The lighting on it is beautiful. You did him MIGHTY justice 😮💚

I absolutely adored Haer'Dalis as well, and your artwork just makes me want to replay BG2 again!! It always makes me sad to think that his romance content was cut for the release of BG2, though 😔

Haha, it's NEVER a bad time to replay!! I agree, though to be honest with you a well written mod tends to go above and beyond in my opinion anyway haha. I think that Bioware was too attached to his relationship with Aerie, which honestly was really something special so I get it.

Thank you!! his hair is so dated but ironically kind of in again with the wolf cut trend so I was really Feelin It haha
