lineart sketch of astarion and awbonee dancing at their wedding. he is holding her from behind with one hand lifting hers and the other on her stomach. she is laughing while he nuzzles the side of her head. some more details have been added to their clothes compared to the previous uploaded version, he is wearing a high collar shirt with wide sleeves rolled up to his elbow and a waistcoat and cravat, she has a messy flower crown and ribbons on her hair.

my hate for myself manifests in very explicit ways daily, but also sneakily like sometimes i go and decide yes, my longest comic project MUST have astarion in full drow armour for the entirety of it. the 20 or so panels, yes. chop chop get to crying #bitterwip #baldursgate3 #awstarion

rough sketch of awbonee soaked through looking back at astarion, who is a mess of sketchy lines. he's grabbing her arm and kissing her hand and it's not super clear from the lines but he's wearing the full drow armour, hood included

yeah i don't know either #bittersketch #baldursgate3 #awstarion

four lineart sketches around pirate astarion and mermaid awbonee. in the first one on the top they are sitting on a rock by the shore with their backs to the camera. she is holding a string of pearls on her hand. he is leaning towards her and holding her other hand against the rock.

there are three smaller sketches underneath. the first one shows the other side of the upper sketch, with astarion holding down awbonee's hand. the middle one shows his hand caressing the webbing between her fingers. on the third one he is holding her arm and kissing the inside of her wrist
