Mistress of the Gray Wasteby *artastrophe

Fan Art / Digital Art / Painting & Airbrushing / Games

Viconia DeVir, drow priestess of Shar
(Baldur's Gate © Bioware)

_{"Drow have obsidian colored skin and pale yellow (or pale golden), silver or white hair...some are known to have different colored, commonly much paler, eyes such as blue, lilac, pink or silver." ~Forgotten Realms wiki}

Trying to be more lore-adherent... but it is really hard to paint "obsidian-colored skin," let me tell you! Still, I did try to make her darker than her original portrait, where her skin was light blue. ^^

_{2nd attempt at darker/"obsidian-colored" skin: xD}

No problem

I really liked Viconia and had her with me all the time

I also made her "phrase" "Trust is for the foolish... and the dead" my life's motto and fared better with it than with being naive and too trusting ^^

awww.... poor, jaded Viconia. <3 I mean, she certainly has a point about being taken advantage of (which is how I believe her philosophy could be integrated in our somewhat-less-dangerous modern lives...? ;D), but hers is a rather bleak outlook just the same.

There's so much juicy bitterness on her tongue when she spits it out; the voice actress did such a great job with that line!! I really love her character, too. ^^

Oooh, Viconia looks gorgeous! Nicely done.

*artastrophe Dec 5, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

thank you very much! ^^

Very good image of Viconia, not quite as sharp featured as she appears in her ingame portrait, more of a classic style, like the more homely, less pretty elf, Drow in classic 2nd Edition AD&D.

I suppose her original portrait looked more like a model, so hmm perhaps in comparison... but don't let her hear you call her homely!! xD

~Bobartles Dec 5, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I approve most wholeheartedly of this.
