Hello!

I am looking for someone to make a drawing for a tattoo I’d like to get done! I included a screenshot of works similar to what I’d like, but I’d really like for mine to be an original piece. I want 2 separate pictures where the cowboys are facing each other and raising their guns, and I am looking for it to be strictly black or black & gray.

Both of them are modded but I have SO many mods I have no clue what I’ve slapped on them. But if you do have any questions I can try and figure out which ones specific things came from. AND NOW I INFO DUMP ABOUT THEM!! Minor spoiler warning but it’s just the vague backstory of tav/durge.

The first is Iltavyl/Tav. He’s half wood-elf and cleric of Mielikki and swarmkeeper ranger! He’s got that brand new to the world vibe to him. The photo doesn’t do it justice but his eyes are pink with a very faint glow to match the swarmkeeper moths.

In his twenties, he starts to grow restless in the forest among his brothers and sisters. While it is not uncommon at all for half-elves to decide to venture and explore their other half when they come of age, he especially believes that Mielikki encouraged him to see more of the world and led him to venture out of The High Forest. And, thusly, believes it was her guidance that led him to be abducted by the mind flayer ship, and believes that there is divine intention behind the abduction. So, he’s rather optimistic and naive about the whole endeavor as opposed to the other companions.

His father was a scholar who went to High Forest conducting research in the Ruins of Karse. On the way he met Tav’s wood elf mother and goes on to die in the ruins lol. He was raised solely by his mother and full-blooded siblings, and as a result has a bit of a distaste for arcane magic and much prefers druidic and natural magic. If you haven’t guessed yet I made him to romance Gale LOL. His unease with “unnatural” magic makes him especially freaked out by the orb. The magic trapped in the wizard’s chest is the very same he has seen curse and make uninhabitable miles of land in the forest.

Then the second, Durge! Her name is Aurze (like ours, because like… hivemind myconid vibe idk), she’s a drow and circle of spores druid. She was born and raised in the Underdark, and she was able to indulge and grow her bloodlust from a very young age. Bhaal had a heavy, albeit subliminal, influence on her mind, whispering death to her at all times. As a young girl, she was exploring the outskirts of the city when she first heard the Myconids’ song. It was the first time in her life she could remember her mind sounding quiet. She needed to follow it.

She spent the rest of her adolescence among the fungus people, who taught her new magics and helped her reshape her understanding of death and violence, guiding her to embrace their peaceful, cyclical views and resist her urges. In time, she was welcomed and accepted by the fungus folk, and she allowed the growth of polypores through her skin to connect her to the voice of the Circle and grant her an honorary place among them.

Anyway, when the time comes for Bhaal to bring her into the cult in Baldur’s Gate, he kills off the circle she was apart of and she has no shield to his voice. After the loss of her Circle and learning she is a Bhaalspawn, she goes a little batshit and believes herself to be liberating and connecting herself/others to life’s quiet rhythm through death and murder. Maybe she believes with death she is keeping her Circle alive, she is certainly frequently making fungal zombies with the corpses and is something of a necromancer.
