Aaaaaah, this nearly ended me but gods I am proud of it.
This piece was sponsored by an absolutely lovely patron (please feel free to comment, friend, so I can shower love on you here!!) who let me completely go ham on this. I was given a prompt/description of Gortash manspreading on his grand throne, dangling a collar for poor Durge. Oh, and the forget-me-nots were a suggestion I can't take credit for which I absolutory LOVE the symbolism for.
I feel like I learned a LOT with this one. Also, next time I paint Gortash he's going to be wearing NOT THIS OUTFIT, holy Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul I nearly fell over dead with those little elf boots of his.
A good time to let you guys know that I am happy to take on sponsored commissions like this that are of fanart any time outside of my commission slots! Feel free to propose them to me and I will get back with you if I think I'd enjoy it- they do have to be fanart of existing characters only (no OCs) and I have the ability to sell prints and post and whatnot. I've had a few questions about it and wanted to address it!
