Paleo Priest

"Discovery"

Drawing practice: my betta fish, some aquarium plants from my aquarium and a generic acanthodian.

My OC and fursona - PaleoPriest. Species: YIQi, genderfluid, archeologist / geologist. Photoshop, 3 hours.

Animal: Phytosaurus Testing brushes with Photoshop. Done in 2 hours. Phytosaurus teeth were found in Lithuania (my country), so I decided to try and draw it. Though I think my picture is very very speculative in regards of anatomy :D

Let's rest together Photoshop. 3 hours.

A cat finds eldritch blob in the middle of the night. Photoshop. 1 hour

Dorian Saurus - my current D&D character. Lawful Evil, mid 40-ies, The Great Old One warlock, noble. Loves tea wine and all kinds of debauchery. Is charismatic and flirtatious.

Nostolepis gracilis (acanthodian) hunting Panderodus unicostatus (conodont) in late Silurian (Pridoli) shallow sea between crinoids. Inspired by my master's thesis where I research Pridoli acanthodian scales from the drill core from Lithuania and from time to time I find conodont teeth there too.

Acanthods, ostracods. Late Silurian - Early Devonian.

P.S.: it is so weird to see all (or almost all) fanfics of Ascendant Astarion showing Tav / Durge trying to run away. My Tav would never do that, my Tav would never ask for freedom. He is free to go on short adventure with Lae'zel, he is free to scheme with God Gale, he is free to have Halsin as a lover, he is free to plot with Emperor how to rule Baldur's Gate (everything is from the epilogue party). Dorian is lawful evil from the beginning and is way more shrewd than Astarion. And I see similarly strong Tavs and Durges created by other Ascendant Astarion fans. Most of us, who chose ascension ending more often than spawn ending create character who are willful and independant, who will never abandon Astarion. Such characters will never whine about some freedom, they already chose their path and it is freedom for them. But for each their own, I guess. This is my observation and I just wonder why there exist such difference between BG3 players who choose this ending and fanfic writers.

My Tav - Dorian Saurus - is a male noble warlock of the Great Old One. He is from Baldur's Gate and when he was turned, he was in his mid 40-ies. Dorian is Astarion's spouse / spawn / consort / groom. His backstory is this: a small part of an Eldrich being was born human, therefore he is a warlock in a sense.

Acanthods, scolecodonts, ostracods and sea lilies. Late Silurian - Early Devonian.

P.S.: trying to remember how to draw 😂 wish me luck!
