Coloring/lighting isn’t my specialty but I had fun

jaheira x khalid head kiss

Some very VERY rough sketches from when I was designing Khalids mother

Rip her in that last one

I now have a hc that since Khalid wasn't there the shadow thieves asked her where he was (perhaps under a false pretense of living if she tells them), of course they’d find him one way or another but less work ya know, but she refuses to tell them

💜Dynaheir Dynaheir Dynaheir💜

Ok… we’re getting there, we’re getting there… need to ponder more

I won’t lie I have no clue what her necklace is supposed to look like so I just made it an amulet thingy

@harpershigh // how dare you ask me to show off my mods. don't you know bg3 is my favorite dress up game??? Also, pspspsps any bg3 followers, if you wanna see what your muse looks like in my file feel free to ask.

So the off-the-shoulder are her camp clothes. The other three are armors that I can't choose between, though I mostly keep her in the harper bump up looking one (the last one). She also has her double blades, ofc. Forgive me for putting a little make up on her in my file. I just think she looks cute with the little cat eye lines😭

Idk if you have any mods yourself, but legitimately if you ever come across something online and you wanna see her in it let me know. As I said, BG3 is my favorite dress up game and I treat it as such LOL.

christening this account with this take from my old account:

Thinking about SoD rn, and how big of an impact it probably had on Khalid. I like to imagine it was such a big step forward for his confidence in being put in a leader position.

Like, he went from 'never wanting to lead ever due to anxiety in a leader role' to 'would probably prefer not to but would be happy to step in if needed'

And I think the 'if needed' would become alot more frequent as time passed.

Too bad he dies in bg2, imagine how he could be in bg3, so much more confident in his abilities, so much more willing to lead alongside Jaheira instead of stepping back at letting her do things.

Jaheira pumping her fists because she knew he had it in him the whole time

hes such a yes man for his wife

I spent way too long on this stupid meme

Here’s the original image

Something about that last jaheira….

There’s something about her that is scratching my brain

I love her so much

Mapped out the progression of my khalid design. apparently it’s been 11 months of this already. happy new year!

STOP HES ALREADY TOO RELATABLE

So Khalid is autistic, right? We can all agree on that?

I think I know what his special interest would be: sword fighting. I can just imagine him yapping about different stances, hand grips, the history of sword fighting, and stuff like that,,,,

How Khalid and Jaheira Probably Got Together

Jaheira: My future partner must be brave, strong, intelligent, successful, and organized.

Khalid: *steps on a caterpillar and proceeds to drop to his knees and sob while apologizing profusely*

Jaheira: That one. I want that one.

Decided to write a general summary/timeline thing for my Jaheira and Khalid raise the bhaalspawn AU, my bhaalspawn’s name is Evune and she lives there now. I did need to mess with the timeline a bit so just roll with it

————————————————————————————————————————————

1348- Gorion saves baby Evune from the bhaal temple but decides to give her to Jaheira and Khalid due to his own guilt

They take a break from the Harpers but are still heavily involved with the network to keep tabs on things and return fully once evune is a teenager.

1368- Gorion finds out about Sarevok and tries to warn them and gets killed. Good play through bg1 events follow

The party is Evune, Imoen, Jaheira, Khalid, Minsc, and Dynaheir but the other characters are involved at certain points

J+K tell her she’s a bhaalspawn earlier than you find out in the game

Normal SoD events happen and they stop the crusade but Irenicus comes to ruin everything, Evune is found not guilty of skies murder but is banished from the city so the party meet up before irenicus ruins everything again and captures them.

1369- during their captivity Dynaheir is killed in front of imoen (rip girly im so sorry) and irenicus intends to to the same with Khalid and Evune BUT Evune makes a deal with him that she would be an active participant in his experiments (very morally dubious move on her end leading to her becoming a fallen ranger) This disturbs her and she keeps this deal a secret from everyone.

Good playthrough Bg2 (+ ranger class side quest to restore her ranger status) but Khalid is also there. Evune’s a much softer character now than in bg1 because she doesn’t feel “good” anymore

1370- Throne of bhaal plot and Evune gives up her essence of bhaal (it’s a surprise tool that will help us later)

1372- a couple years later complications from irenicus’ experiments start really messing Evune up and she is taken to a healing house to try and heal her, but a cultist of bhaal seeking revenge finds out about this and in her weakened state she is fatally wounded. (I did flirt with the idea of this happening while J+K are at moonrise but I haven’t decided yet)

Fun fact: when I originally made this au Khalid still died but I was talking to a friend about it and they said “both her husband AND her daughter? Jaheira cant have shit” and I hadn’t thought about that and it seemed really mean plus it means Jaheira x Khalid lives on!!!! so I brought Khalid back. Rip Evune tho

-Fast forward to BG3 time

1464- ??? Is born

1487- ??? Is killed and used as a vessel to create Durge, along with other offerings, the water from the winding river where bhaal was killed by cyric and fell from the boareskyr bridge, and Evune’s discarded essence

1492- Bg3 Orin betrays Durge who forgets everything including her own name. Durge becomes paranoid about dying and becoming a faithless since they don’t know what god they worshiped so latches onto the first deity they come across which is Silvanus in the grove so she becomes a Druid. (They don’t know a lot about mindflayers)

Because of the essence Evune is able to communicate with Durge and is basically the anti Sceleritas Fel saying “nooo don’t kill people nooo :(“

They mainly talk when Durge is long resting (like the dream visitor but less frequently), they can communicate while Durge is awake but generally don’t.

Evune is a passive observer to the events of the game via Durge. I think of her like an invisible ghost following Durge around.

🚨KHALID MENTION THIS IS NOT A DRILL🚨

I remember hearing the “sit in it for all I care” in the jaheira voice files on YouTube actually

Was looking through the folder of datamined dialogue (thanks again @thecubspeaks for sending it to me!!) and found all these Jaheira and Minsc dialogues I've never seen before

Me happily reading through RP blogs because they’re so cool even though I have no idea how they work because everyone is so talented

It is embarrassing to admit how long it took for me to figure out what a ‘muse’ is lmao

Jaheira x Khalid is so powerful they made me obsessive over a ship when I haven’t done that in literally 5 or so years

Im so proud of them

WHO WAS GOING TO TELL ME THE EMPEROR PRETENDED TO BE DYNAHEIR TO MANIPULATE MINSC??

Put em up squid

I have finished cooking

Here she is! Khalid’s mom + a baby Khalid

I think she turned out really pretty and I like her even if this was a struggle lol

I’m not very good at designing outfits so even though I had the parameters of wanting to be light weight and have light colors to avoid overheating as well as a head piece to protect her face and scalp from the sun I struggled to make brain work. I wanted her to look older than she ultimately ended up looking but she is an elf I suppose… but I still want her to look older

Something I think about is Khalid’s mother

Because in the first game in Khalid’s background she is not mentioned at all, and in siege of dragonspear she is mentioned as ‘not thinking much of him’ but to a lesser extent than his father did who we all agree was a POS

1. What was she like?

like her life probably sucked a lot.

She was an elven concubine in a country that is pretty much devoid of any other elves, and so she was seen as exotic, which is probably why Khalid‘s father had her as a concubine in the first place.

She would always be below his actual wife and I won’t get into all of the horrible things that could’ve happened to her prior or during this time

And then on top of everything, she has a illegitimate kid with the dude!

I doubt Khalid’s father or his wife (mother of Khalid’s half brothers) was particularly interested in raising him, so it was probably all on her.

So now on top of her life already probably sucking, she has this kid in a world that is guaranteed to be hostile towards him because he is considered lower by default.

There’s no way she could protect him from that even if she did try.

Maybe there was a combination of resentment of having another thing on her plate to take care of but also guilt about having this kid that she feels is guaranteed to have a miserable life

2. Was their relationship purely indifference and neglect or was there some love?

Is it possible that she walled herself off from him so that when he was inevitably hurt it didn’t hurt her as much? Like self protection so she only had to feel her own hurt

Were there good moments? Where she would protect him or comfort him in ways she felt she could?

Maybe she held some hope that because his father was of the merchant class Khalid would get further than she could only to have those hopes crushed within her lifetime

3. How does Khalid feel about her?

Maybe he is a bit overly forgiving of her actions because of he knows her circumstances (Which probably annoys Jaheira lol)

Maybe there’s some resentment for not being the mother he needed but he feels guilty about having those feelings

Maybe she just fades into the background of his childhood

There’s so many possibilities because we know nothing about her so we get to fill in the blanks!

Boo got hurt in battle and Jaheira fixed him up, Boo is not please to say the least.

Khalid is holding him up because Minsc was too worried to hold still.

(Made by yours truly!)

Inspiration:

I had a dream that I was walking and I passed a store that had a pair of Jaheira and Khalid plushies, I immediately went in to buy them but I woke up before I could purchase them :( so I drew them :)

I remember they were this kind of style/shape (I distinctly remember they were sitting up like this) but I don’t remember much else about what they looked like so I substituted in the gaps

Also insert the “don’t turn me into a marketable plushie” meme here

Made some fanart for @marigoldbaker!

It’s from a scene in their fanfic “I’ll be waiting for you (if you ever wanna be there)” which is a coffee shop/modern AU

Normally I don’t have much interest in either modern AUs or coffee shop AUs but i have been awakened- I loved this fic and wanted to draw it! I don’t know why I cast Gorion as the manager in my head but I did and he’s there too. I nicknamed the coffee shop “candlekeep coffee” because I thought it was funny :)

Might color it eventually idk the idea of coloring the background scares me lol

Khalid’s alive that’s what matters to me lol

Kinda makes me want to do this for my au because it gets wacky after I decided to go down the pure ‘I think this would be cool’ route

I made a loose timeline for my au.

you know, Khalid, it has been a long day without you. And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.

I’m so literally so bad at designing clothes ; ;

Trying to feel out a design for Khalid’s mom and Dynaheir (odd combo I know but ADHD go brrrr) but making outfits for them is beating me up

Now I’m imagining if Khalid was literally Tav in Bg3 and when he rocks up to last light in jaheira is just “??????!!” Idk how this would happen but is kinda funny

i have made the perfect older khalid in baldurs gate 3 and NO ONE CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE
