Character Designs For Wings Outstretched - Part 3
First one here!
Second one here!
This (final!) part is for Priqrin, introduced in chapter 5.
No mods used this time, it's all base game stuff including dyes. I love love love the way dragonborns look in this game, I could spend the whole day just creating different dragonborns and then just staring at them. (Someone ask my about my other Tav, Eats Chairs, sometime - I want an excuse to show pictures of her she looks great.)
Priqrin -
We haven't been over his backstory much yet, but he's a draconic sorcerer (white) on top of being a dragonborn, so he's the most dragon someone can be without being an actual dragon. His main class is wizard though, because he preferred to learn magic through researching and understanding it rather than relying on instinct, like a total scholar nerd - though his wizard robes are still in black and white, to honor that draconic heritage.
I also gave him a tail, just to enhance that dragon connection. He's very proud of being so dragon-like, and having multiple types of dragon in his blood.
So his colouration is black, and then, uh, black again (the white ones didn't look right, so I used a black one that had a border of white - it counts as white, okay? I mean Rilice doesn't even use green for her scales, she's got a variation of silver because it looked better, it's fine, no-one's scales are actually using the colour they're meant to be, it's fine!) There's a hint of red there, too, around the back of his head flaps which I think looks nice and cute and sinister.
His surname he uses briefly was just from me getting the Draconic words for black and white from the fan wiki and then smooshing them together - but that's mostly because I don't think he actually has a surname in an official capacity either, he's just used to people expecting to hear them, so he throws that in now. (But then Wyll introduced him and Turmeric by first name only, because he's a sweet boy who realised she might feel awkward being the only one without, so Priqrin just had to be like, "oh, okay, I guess I'm the weird one here.")
Not that much else to say about him, because we haven't learned all that much about him yet. I'm sure I'll think of more to add when the story unfolds a little more, but, at the very least, there are no more people to introduce from now on! Our cast (the original characters at least) are all here now!

astarion's comments about hating horses and how horses hate him checks because horses are great at vibe checks, and the dude has absolutely rancid vibes. i do know who horses would absolutely love, though, the blade of frontiers himself. wyll was a horse girl change my mind. that man loves him a horse and can ride bareback no issue on the most ill-tempered mare. he's a horse whisperer.
how do you do, fellow Creatives™

In total, I spent a couple of days, some of clay, acrylic paints and my nerves, of course. 💁🏻♀️
Okay, there's going to be another delay for the next chapter. The problem with having a plan is I keep seeing the nice short summery paragraph I've written in advance, and I'm like, "oh that's nothing, that won't take any time at all." and then guess what. That paragraph had no detail in it on purpose. The detail takes time to write.
Also, I've been trying to get to bed at a reasonable time each night to maintain healthy sleeping habits, when I used to stay up late and let myself go feral over a word document, so that's slowing me down as well.
Ultimately, I'm giving myself time limits to ensure that it is finished eventually, because I want to prove to myself that I can finish something if I try - I just need to rework my writing habits into something more sustainable and stop expecting myself to be able to write so much in one day like I used to.
So, to get the point, I'm giving myself another 5 day extension on this one (aiming for the 14th) so I actually have time to finish it up properly. I'm considering maybe extending all the gaps between chapters to 15 days in future, but I'll leave it at 10 for now and we'll see how I do.
As always, thanks to anyone who just reads my stuff at all, with a bonus thanks to anyone who leaves kudos, or especially comments. Every time someone reaches back from across the void it makes it a lot easier to remember why I'm still doing this, why I shouldn't just give up, even when I frustrate myself with delays and procrastination (and do feel free to send me asks about anything to do with the story and characters, I love that shit).
I'm going to continue trying my best, but I'm going to try being a little gentler to myself along the way from now on - and I might wander away from More Graves and into something a little different a few times, as I try to re-embrace the fun that can come from being creative, and remind myself of the excitement of inspiration that helped me come up with this story in the first place.
[about my own oc, who i created] in theory its possible she would say that, but we just dont know for sure

I write BG3 fanfic about having a bad time and learning to carry on anyway! It's good fun! And also devastating!
