Looks back at you with my autistic eyes.. Gale big naturals
If Eole was a companion in game, how would her romance/platonic relationship bad/good route go?
Also, did I missed or Could you talk about what Eole would say in low, medium, high, and romance approval?
OH I LOVE THIS ONE !!
Low
“What do you need ?”
Medium
“Something on your mind ?”
High
“Always a pleasure to see you, friend”
Lover :
“Welcome back, warmth of my day”
"Light of my night, you're here"
Eole's good route would lead to her setting free from her dark urges and she can finally start living her own life. If you're romancing her, her own life would be by your side and she'd like to build a family with you and be surrounded by the people she loves. She finally finds peace in a home she never had !
Eole's bad route is if you associate her worth with her dark urges. She automatically leans toward letting go of her bhaalspawn legacy if you don't intervene a lot in her storyline, but with enough successful rolls, you can convince her to embrace her legacy and urges.
Considering you decided to defeat the netherbrain and after succeeding, she'd try to kill you because she has realized you've manipulated her. Roll for initiative! If you manage to kill her, that's it. She is dead. If she managed to kill you, she'll then go back on the road, wandering without purpose.
If you have romanced her, you can try to avoid the fight by rolling for deception or persuasion to manipulate her feelings further, saying things like "you don't want to do this, think about everything we went through together" "I love you don't do this" etc, which leads to her leaving you and the party forever and, again, she ends up wandering without purpose.
THANKS FOR THE QUESTION IT WAS SO FUN TO THINK ABOUT IT !!!!!
How did you pick Eole’s name? I love it!
My first pick for Eole's name was Lin (/Leen), but thanks to a few spoilers and upon turning her into a dark urge, i wanted her to be associated with the wind which is a raw force of the nature and a symbolism of change and freedom !
Eole was the first thing to come to my mind ! And now she even has a matching name with Gale yippieeeee
Who's freakier?
Thoughts on Gale tits? 👀 (You know who I am fhdhsjshs)
If your Tav had an Act 1 camp event/romance scene what would it be?
OOOH love this one !!
I think Eole's act 1 romance scene would be at the tiefling party (like most companions).
If you talk to her during the party, she's enjoying her time with the guests. You can ask her if she wants to hang out, to which she answers "sure, come join us !". She's a bit distracted because of the festivities, so you can specify "can we hang out, just the two of us ?". She'd look surprised for a quick second, then smile and tell you to meet her later that night. Yea, she's 100% flirting back
You'd find her sitting by the camp fire later that night, with a bottle of wine keeping her company. Everyone passed out from the festivities.
"You almost kept me waiting" she'd tell you with a smile as you sit next to her
You'd chat a bit before pointing out the fact that she's still drinking despite the party being over.
"The night has been so lovely, I thought it would be a shame for it to end just like that" Eole would answer as she takes a sip from the bottle. Then she'd extand the bottle to you and you take a big gulp. She'd look at you intensely and you can see a spark in her eyes.
"Now that I'm in such good company... we could share this bottle, or maybe we could do something else ?"
And that's where you decide if you want to follow her to her tent and get topped or not ! :)
The next day she'd tell you she had a great time and she hopes it's not the last she hears from you ♥
Do Tara and your Tav get along?
Not really- I imagine Tara as that strict aunt who visits from time to time who's being very pissy with Eole because of the whole Bhaalspawn thing (she learns by accident that Eole tried to kill Gale during his sleep OOP) and she thinks Eole is not fit to be by Gale's side at first. As time goes by, she warms up to Eole though, but she is still a smug little lady with a whole lot of pride so it turns into a tough love kind of relationship !!
Show me your Gale and Eloe body headcanons!
crack knuckles LETS A GO
These are all of the HCs I can think of right now eve though i probably have a hundreds more in the corners of my brain aughhh
👀would you have advice on how people would use those morpho books? I took a look at them but not really sure how you apply them to your own drawings or practicing 😭(sorry if this is like a silly question!)
There are no silly questions ! ♥
What really works for me is looking through the books to find something I'm currently blocking on. I know I have a lot of troubles with the general upper body (back, shoulders, neck and face angles) so I look for anything that could help me finish my drawing !
I've also been advised by oomfs and artist friends to take a few random pages from the books from time to time and redraw them until my mind understands what i drew ! Since the Morpho books are really well constructed, just copying a few drawings truly helps you understand how the anatomy works !
It's always good to come back to them again later, since it's hard to remember how all muscles and bones work... the human body truly is a complex mess blergh !!
i'm not very good with words aughhh but I hope it's still clear and that it can help you ♥
Literally LOVE you art so much!! Just wanted to say that before I asked what your favourite thing about Eole is?? And what is something about her character (or story or w/e!) that makes you proud of yourself? v
WAAAAAH THANK YOU SO MUCH ?! ;;;; ♥♥
AND WOW THAT IS A V GOOD QUESTION... I actually had to get off my computer and look at the ceiling for a few minutes to come up with an answer...
I think my favorite thing about her and the reason I'm so obsessed with her is that I managed to build Eole into a character I can relate to. We definitely don't have the same problems (i know it sounds crazy but i did NOT kill a bunch of people because my dad wanted me to, sorry guys...), but we're both anxious, dissociating girl failures but at the end of the day we keep getting up and fight for tomorrow ! WE'RE NO QUITTERS, life got hands but so do we !!!
As a pretty negative person, it feels good to see that I always see a good outcome/growth out of most of Eole's problems, it's very cathartic !!!
On a very much less cool note, I really like that she's such a cool top LOL
What advise do you think is important for people just starting art should know or wish someone told ou sooner?
I have answered something similar yesterday so i'll put them here as well :
- art is a personal process, do not compare yourself with other artists and be patient and nice to yourself. Even if you see 12 yo mastering color theory and anatomy, we all learn at a different speed !
- DO NOT BURN OR THROW AWAY YOUR UGLY SKETCHBOOKS/DRAWINGS they are an anchor to see how much you've progressed !!! very important !!
- don't be anxious about trying out new stuff. Get dirty with paint/charcoals, learn that it's ok to make ugly drawings, and put those ideas on paper/canvas !! Do not overthink the process and just throw stuff in there :) if you're not satisfied about it, it's gonna be a good occasion to do a redraw ! :D
- also... don't burn yourself out !!!!! Take a break, play your favorite video game, watch your favorite movie, but if art is not your job, never force yourself to draw if art tires you in any way !!!
However I will add :
- don't draw to please an audience, draw what you genuinely like and the audience will come for how passionate you are about it !
- doing studies is good, but don't let it get to your head and make you overthink the process. Never forget what makes you thrive about drawing !
i hope this helped ♥
😭PLEASE ADVISE ON DRAWING CHUBBY GALE or like chubby people in general 🥺❤️
I've had a really hard time drawing body folds (and I still do, tbh !), but Morpho: Fat and Skin Folds (book) is a life savior ! All Morpho books are truly godsent i cannot reccomend them enough !!
But personally when I draw Gale without any reference morpho included, I just go crazy and give him the tummy i'd like him to have on the moment (which changes a lot, sometimes i want him very soft, sometimes a bit skinnier, it's all about flavours !)
Hope this helped ♥
👀what brushes do you use / program do you use if you don't mind me asking?
I don't mind at all !! ♥
I mostly use Procreate on Ipad but sometimessssss i go to clip studio paint !
For the brushes I have a pack of my fav brushes with like... 20 brushes in there, but I rarely stick to one ! The brushes I use the most are "Charcoal Pencil - smooth" and "Syrup" to sketch, and "Monoline" for texts and speech bubbles !
They all come from pack brushes that I cannot even name because my procreate brushes are a MESS and i keep changing their folders :sweat:
do you do anything special for warmups when you sit down to draw? i.e., how some ppl will fill a page with/ squares and circles or gesture drawings?
OOF man I WISH... I'm such a bad excuse of an artist haha /lh
I always tell myself that I WILL sit down and do a 30mn warmup/studies before starting to draw but i'm such a greedy gremlin that I immediately jump onto the drawing i had in mind instead, leaving me with little to no energy to actually do studies LOL
I would love to be more consistent with gesture drawing/studies though ! ADHD got my ass good LOLOL
Tell me your Gale headcanons 🫵
rubs my hands together like a freaky little fly
HELL YEA throwing random HCs at you (sfw and nsfw)
These are the only headcanons I can think of as of right now, and I know my views change overtime but these are the ones i really fw at the moment ! ♥
