#halion

Be it, they are VERY rushed and look as such, but I AM PROUD OF MYSELF FOR ONCE.

@velnna @bara-izu @necromosss

Fanart for your characters.

(Warnings: Me rambling)

If any of the artist I made this for see this, I hope you like it even maybe a portion as much as I do. Maybe more. Genuinely, each of these three artists inspire me to continue my hobby of making art. The reason I even do this hobby is to share it in hopes to inspire others. As much courage as it takes for me to even make these much less post them is just proof to myself how far I've come in terms of social interaction. I thank my friend, my mom and teacher for supporting my hobbies and specifically convincing me to make this. I'm off on a ramble, apologies.

I really do hope you like this. Each character has something I added to them, and I explain in their dedicated paragraph. Then you also get an overall part:).

MIRA ♡

Necromosss is the second BG3 artist I found on Tumblr and I adore their art. Everytime I see Moss post, I promise you I immediately spread it to my friends just so they get the recognition they deserve.

Mira was the last character I ended up drawing, and is definitely the most hurried and sloppy. I made hers pretty late, close to the time I sleep, yet I do feel proud of how I made her. Imagining Mira in the stories I've created, I believe she'd fit in with Meladonia, a kingdom of ghosts, poison, and death. Overlooking the main theme, Meladonia's queen, Chamixie (and funny enough, my character who romanced Gale), is a very lighthearted, flirty person. She, while respecting death and it's concepts, is always up to make an occasional joke. She doesn't take everything personally, and I think she'd get alone well with Mira. The Meladonia magic is dark magic known at Kalak. 'Mixie (Chamixie's nickname) created Kalak as a form of a way to express herself. Kalak magic is not negative, and it's not harmful. In fact, Kalak magic is meant to heal and embrace your fears to use positively. Most of the time, using Kalak magic causes small white, almost snake-like slits to form in the pupil of the user's eyes.

I hope you like how I drew her!:)

STAEVE ☆

MAF is the first BG3 artist I found on Tumblr. I can't put in to words how much they've inspired me. Me and my mom both love Staeve, we think he's great, and I can't wait to see more art from Velnna.

Staeve is the first character I drew, and though not as rushed as Mira's, I wasn't confident drawing him. I'm not too sure about how I drew him, though I do hope anyone reading this likes it. Much like Mira, I imagine he'd be from Meladonia if put in my stories.

In case you haven't read about Kalak magic, I'll copy it: The Meladonia magic is dark magic known at Kalak. 'Mixie (Chamixie's nickname) created Kalak as a form of a way to express herself. Kalak magic is not negative, and it's not harmful. In fact, Kalak magic is meant to heal and embrace your fears to use positively. Most of the time, using Kalak magic causes small white, almost snake-like slits to form in the pupil of the user's eyes.

I've, as an anon, told Velnna about one version of my first OC (Broodmother Nera). And she's a version of my main five characters. Her and Chamixie are sisters, four years apart (Nera is 28). Chamixie is a much more sort of flirty person and takes everything told to her with a drop of comedy, unless it's extremely serious (ex: any abuse) as she has experienced negative situations herself. I imagine that she'd want to be friends with Staeve as long as he wants to, but would likely rather protect him even if he doesn't want to be friends. Staeve reminds Chamixie of Alison, the youngest of the five sisters, and was Chamixie's previous life's bio daughter. Even if they are sisters in this life, Chamixie still, while not overprotective, is cautious around Alison. To an extent, Staeve gives off a similar vibe as Alison, and 'Mixie would do more than her best to help Staeve without being overbearing.

I hope this is interesting enough, and that you enjoy how I drew Staeve.

HALION ◇

I have so much trouble remembering how to write this lovely man's name, please correct me if it's wrong, I have terrible memory.

I recently found Bara, and I love all their characters. (No joke though, I ran to my mom to show her your characters). Halion is definitely one of my favourites.

I was the most confident creating Halion, and I genuinely am proud of my art. This is honestly one of the few times I do feel proud of myself. From the posts I read, which is not too many, I love his cheery personality. He makes me believe he'd be from Parfi if he was in my stories. Parfi is the kingdom of the Wasteland, but is known for war, previously known for lust, but after Lord Clemin became the ruler, she changed it to accommodate travellers. While it was re-built for wars, she's made it a beacon of light within a desert. That reminds me of Halion. Clemin, as a ruler, comes off as strong and demanding. But out of all five of the rulers, and as the second oldest sister, she's very soft. Even with her own insecurities, she lifts people up and encourages their positive ambitions. She's actually not very confident, even though presenting as such. Even if she is very silent, and kind of reserved, she'd feel comfortable with talking to Halion.

She created Taei magic, the magic of heat. Taei magic is considered neutral magic, and though she has used it negatively on herself, Taei was meant to be positive. Using Taei magic is essentially holding the essence of a flame, and it's a guiding light to find others. Clemin wants the people of her and her sister's kingdoms to never have to experience what any of them did/do. Using it reflects a flame in the user's eyes.

I hope you agree he'd be from Parfi, and if not, tell me why:)! I also hope you like the art I made for him.

OVERALL/EXTRA

I'm sorry this post is so long, and I wanted to be finish setting up my blog when I made this but I'm just too impatient to do so. The reason this post is so long is because while I could've made art of any artist I enjoy, these three artists inspired me the most. (And I'm an overthinker, so I want to make sure you understand how much I appreciate these artists.)

I hope you enjoy the ideas I had and the art I made. I love all three of these pieces I've made, and I love the original art that they were based on more. And if it's alright with the artists, I'd love to draw more!:)

While writing this, my hands are shaking. Ignore any mistakes in the writing.

Oft - that would be a site to see! If Azul was finally defeated and Megivus's family was freed from having to serve him, it would be an awkward reunion.

Baker MC would have to push Megivus a little bit to get him to even see his family - they eventually settle on having dinner together. Queen Syndra is over the moon to see her son again, King Faelyn is still recovering from loosing all his power due to Azul's demise, and his brother Halion is displeased to see him again.

At first it's pleasant - catching up on each others lives, chatting about the future. Halion can't help but make a jab at Megivus for tarnishing their families name. Megivus snaps back at this brother for not being the prince he should have been and that he would have done so much better.

The scene gets tense real quick - You know that scene in Shrek 2 where they are all at the dinner table? That is how tense it is - more harsh words are spoken and both leave dinner early to retreat into their bedrooms.

Baker MC tries to convince Megivus that rekindling with his family but he's not having any of it. He goes to storm off down by the stables - the last place anyone would look for him. There he sees his brother tending to the horses.

"You're out late, isn't it past your bedtime?" Megivus snickered. Halion snapped his head back before replying mockingly.

"Thank you for your concern, dear brother - but shouldn't you be more concerned about getting your beauty sleep? I swear I can see your wrinkles from here"

....

"You little fucking shi-"

The conversation continues like this before they finally settle down, lying in the hay stack. Megivus finally opens up to Halion, about how hard it's been without his wealth and tile. How he didn't know how to do anything when he left the castle, everything was given to him hand a foot and now - it was like his whole world crumbled before him.

He felt useless, that without his families kingdom - he was nothing. Megivus was jealous of Halion for being everything he wasn't - smart, reliable, everything their father wanted him to be - everything he couldn't be.

Despite open wounds Megivus was sharing, Halion couldn't help but scream at him. His royal facade finally cracked as he explained exactly how it's been since Megivus has been gone. The extra work, sleepless nights, meetings, diplomacies, the stress of their fathers judgement.

Halion lost so much of his youth trying to look after the kingdom- he doesn't even know how to be a kid anymore. What's even worse is that he didn't have any support, their mother was too busy spying on Megivus to take care of him and their father? Self explanatory.

Megivus got to have freedom, Halion got to loose a good chunk of his childhood. Megivus was shocked, he spent all this time resenting his brother that he didn't realize the situation he put him in after being banished.

Silence filled the barn, so thick it was almost suffocating.

"You know-" Halion trailed off "These horses remind me of you"

Megivus took a quick glance at the long nosed horses, feeling a little offended at such a suggestion.

"Let me guess? Because I have a long face?" Megivus eye roll could be heard from the castle.

"No-" Halion paused, reluctant to continue "Because they have beautiful hair, like yours"

Megivus could only blink, surpsied at his brothers complement

"Come again?"

"When I was younger, I always wanted to play and braid your hair - but you were always too busy partying and hanging out with the older princes, I just-" Halion's throat became hoarse, figeting with the cuffs of his sleeve.

"I just really wanted to spend time with you, since I couldn't get your attention I turned to the horses" Halion looks up to one of his stallions, smiling "I would always pretend I was braiding your hair instead of theirs's for a moment - it felt like we were spending time with each other..."

The realization of his brothers loneness and admiration for him hit's Megvius like a speeding truck. To think he spent years at parties and balls, completely disregarding his brother. Megivus rubs his hair between his fingers before turning to his brother.

"Well- better late then never" he gestures to his hair - Halion's eyes lighting up as he gently takes Megivus's hair into his hands. They spent the rest of the night just catching up, before finally falling asleep.

Baker MC wakes up worried when Megivus was not in bed with them this morning, he never leaves them alone for this long. Rushing around the castle they finally stumble across Megivus and his brother sleeping peacefully in the hay stack. Megivus's hair was slicked back in a beautiful fishtail braid.

Baker MC smiles, it's a start but they finally had a chance to talk to each other.
