eee!

I don't acquire commissions nearly as often as I could, mostly due to the Mortifying Ordeal of Deciding What You Want And Then Asking It Of Another Human Person. Horrendous! What if I just threw myself very dramatically onto a sword instead.

Fortunately I managed to get over myself long enough to commission an artist I've admired for a long time; though she mostly does Destiny work, it was her Pillars of Eternity art that inspired me, and I now have a gorgeous portrait of Neus :) One of the game's fun quirks is it allows you to upload custom portraits, so I no longer have to settle for the generic pre-builts and can instead enjoy all the fungal, sharp-toothed glory that once only lived inside my head. The downside is I am spending too much time staring at the character page.

I also just today 'purchased' an adorable little ficlet from dear Nem for the price of a donation to a raptor centre, as part of her 'Horizon Day of Service' - Shepard/Jack/Shiala in the same pocket universe as this fic. They are deeply weird and I love the way Nem packs in the xenobiology.

Oh, that portrait is wonderful! So much personality shining through there, and the fungal growths are a delight. (I feel your pain re: none of the in-game prebuilts quite working...)

I like that ficlet (and the price paid for it) a lot. Love me a good alien plant hivemind.

It's a decent range of prebuilts overall but sometimes you just want some specifics...

If the rachni got to be our friends, the thorian should have that chance too!

Oh, wow, congrats! I have never been able to get over the Mortifying Ordeal (yet) and the struggle is real. I'm so happy it worked out for you!

It's so real ToT We must defeat the cringe in our brains to earn the rewards of Sick Art.
