I've been meaning to find more excuses to draw a younger DU drow, namely when he would have first arrived at Baldur's Gate and just spent at least a couple of days being a weirdo about town - trying to find work, stealing, generally making people uneasy - until he finally came across his fellow Bhaalists.

And of course, how he would have probably passed by some similar circles as another fellow freak, though I don't think there's a hope in the universe that they gave each other the time of day back then! Unless 🤔

Oathbreaker

I LOVE HIMMMM I love to see him looking like a weird stray cat

LipiecMaj

He is so tiny here, I want to give him a hug

MEANBOSS

He is until you compare him with the height of door LOL

Robin

Skrunkly baby

Vee

awkward gangly Drow! He looks like the weird friend being left out of a hangout ☹️ It would be interesting to see a take on them meeting at a different point in their lives.

I have always been fascinated by this trope with other's tavs/durges, I love them barely meeting Astarion years before they are both snatched by the mindflayers. Walking past each other without knowing they will once be the love of each other's lives :') it almost feels melancholic. How long ago was this before the nautiloid?

Shandora

AHHHHHHHHH!!! I love it when people make a prequel where Durge met Astarion before! My own maniac fell in love with him when he was 20 and wrote him 101 letters he never sent off

Pondemonium

Omg stop I looooveee younger drow !!!

Tally Quinn

Love the concept that they might have met before the events of bg3. Good food

WilderNESS

I don’t care that I’m in the middle of a budget meeting at work (zoom only meeting), I see a notification from you pop up and I’m pulling up the post and ignoring the budgets 😆 I love LOVE it when an artists does snippets of childhood or younger versions/lore about characters regardless if it’s cannon or not. I want to hug younger du drow (even if I may get gutted in return)

EatsBees

uuugh i love that idea of two ships passing in the night. my own durge Ozymandias, from my fic exploring "what if durge killed orin when she betrayed him?" had him getting picked up by Astarion at the blushing mermaid the same night Astarion was SUPPOSED to get abducted by mindflayers. it was lust at first sight that eventually became love

Don’t look now

… UNLEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS………???? 👀

Vic

I NEED TO FEED HIM SOUP

Sabu

Adriel

Marasha

PopVomitArt

He's just a little baby 😭😭😭

leviathan

Aww, he's such a wee lad.

LuinenBluewater

Damn. This lineart and this composition 🤌🏻

LuminousDecay

UNLESS, oh sweet words of hope 👀

MxNasty

Your details are astounding—love all the action and little lives being lived in here, from the bar to the balcony. I could stare at it all day. So excited at the range of possibilities that “unless” implies! I really appreciate how much you’ve thought of the characters’ potential backstories

Xolotlcereus (Surya Asura)

It's all coming together 👁👁. I'm sure someone in Baldur's gate will make one of those red string theory for these two. Gorgeous detailed background too btw

Tsaristo

The funniest thing would be if they had run into each other but because he wasn’t a twunk yet Astarion doesn’t remember him. Drow has the Durge brain damage and doesn’t remember the interaction either. 🫢

Mystisk

Lovely art ❤️

Lan-arrr

I can see the picture basically moving - and even IF Astarion and him sort of had eye contact they might be like "ew wtf" xD

ejoym

Awww look at his long hair!! Such a good vignette

Morallygreychaoticneutral

I love this take! Seven degrees of separation and all that. Hells, any of our Tav's could have been there. *Taofain nudged Aloria and pointed upwards towards the second floor. "Hard bet that guy up there yacks all over that guy standing below him." Aloria followed his pointing hand to a green looking character leaning unsteadily over the balcony railing. Her nose wrinkled in disgust. "Ugh...If that fkr actually yammies and ruins my constitution, I'm going to be next one in line to wring out his guts." Taofain laughed. That deep bone vibrating sound that was distinctly his. It wasn't loud per say but the sound of it tended to turn heads. Turning her attention back to the bar her eyes caught a pair of red ones staring in their direction. Aloria leaned into Taofain's ear . "Hey, that white headed elf is looking at you again. Why don't you go say hello? He seems "friendly"." He coughed into this hand. A weak attempt to cover the blush that screamed across his face. "Ehem...yeah...uh...I'm good. He looks...busy." She smiled. Every day she got to rankle his hide was a good day. "I don't think were going to find anybody looking to work in here." He said, lifting his tankard and draining the last of it in a few deep swallows. Aloria pushed her empty cup to the edge of the table. "Agreed. Maybe that awkward young man that was by the door when we came in is still there. He looked like he might need coin."

Imagine young drow in skinny jeans

Kohayuce

He looks so young and cute and awkward 😭 I like how his pose and face shows his feeling so well at this moment.

Azurami

Me at school lunch frfr 😔

MEANBOSS

Oh I love that. I wish more people would leave me a little accompanying fiction in their comments!

MEANBOSS

About 10 years! When DU would have been 18 or so.

Simbioza

He looks so gaunt and I feel a little silly saying this about black linework on white, but I would daresay he looks pale too. Don't ask me how. Emaciated, I think is the world I'm looking for when I see his frame here. Mm he definitely gives off a feel of some struggle. I feel that, truly. As a superficial aside, I love love his hair length... but even that comes across as dull and brassy. Idk it's such storytelling in a single split frame. I adore it. Well done per usual, Boss!
