“my favourite assassin”

A short comic about Ro visiting Gortash's home in the Upper City during Act III.

I'm convinced the only reason we can't access the Upper City in-game is because it was never finished, not because of the Brain.

I also have a headcanon that finding Bhaal's Temple was a lot harder than simply falling into the nearest sewer grate, so Gortash and Ro ended up pooling their resources and efforts. From time to time, they would meet to discuss new leads and exchange information to make the search more effective.

Considering that doppelgangers were a 24/7 threat to Gortash, it was very much in his interest not to sit around and do nothing.

This Gortash figure was mostly an exercise in patience — small adjustments, tiny additions, endless refining of things that felt almost invisible in the moment.

But zooming in changes everything.

Suddenly, all those “minor” choices don’t feel minor at all.

Darling Dolly, Father’s favourite!

A brush test that got a little out of hand! I wanted to see how unsettling I could get Bodille’s face to look. She’s so normal. She’s so so okay. Please trust her with your netherstones. Please please pretty please.

Normal work conversations.

Back on my Durgetash bullshit. I'm very patiently waiting for patch 8 to come out to do my definitive Dark Urge run. In the meantime I have so many thoughts and little stories about them running through my head. Hopefully I'll find more time soon to write and/or draw some of it.

I actually enjoy the Gortash face that I drew here, so I'm including a close up.

Standing there like he already owns the city and simply waiting for his new home. 🖤
