Absolutely gorgeous job, love the eyes.

Thanks, Boss! <3

What's a firbolg :o?

A race from dungeons and dragons :D they are a kind of fey-touched giantkin!

The soot on his glasses is such an awesome detail.

Aaa I am so glad it didn't go unnoticed!! Thank you <3!!

i am so oddly emotionally invested in this guy and his pals and i barely know anything about them other than what you've posted here
I HOPE THINGS WILL BE OK FOR THEM........ also this rendering style is gorgeous and the contrast between this piece and its companion... 👄👌

Aaaa I am so happy to read this, thank you for loving my boi!! ♡ I hope things will be well for him too, but he has some great big hurdles ahead of him that make me a little nervous haha! Lets cross our fingers and hope for the best!!

sending all the luck!!

This looks like it could go on one of those maybe young adult paranormal romance novels or something.

Oh no comparing the two paintings just absolutely destroyed me. I enjoy this character so so much.

Aww Q vQ ♡ I am so happy you like him aaaa that brings me so much joy!!

This is amazing! I thought it was a photo when I saw it originally~
<3 <3 so skillllled!

Thank you so much!!

I...
Oof...
Okay, officially jealous of Variel ♥
Hehe

Seriously though, this piece is so well done! I love the color choices, and the eyes, the soot/ash particulates on his glasses, the look he is giving and the tousled hair.. Wait, is some of his hair singed a bit? Idk if I'm just imagining it, lol. Anyway, 10/10, would Firbolg again! :)

Haha this comment is a delight, thank you!!
Most of his hair is melted together and singed at the ends--making it appear a bit matted Q vQ
I am so happy you like him!!

I love the details on this!! So well painted!

Uuuhg, I can never get over your painted style. It's literally my favorite. I seriously love the contrast of emotion when compared to the older drawing, feels a lot more worn out and like he needs way more hugs.

I seriously just wish I could read this whole adventure because I love every bit you share with us. Your DM seems to be incredible and your re-tellings are always so enjoyable to read.

Man, I at one point tried writing a summary of all the events which happened thus far but there has just been...so much...
Maybe I will try again and leave out anything thats not super relevent to wjere the story is at right now hmmm..!

Haha of course don't feel pressured to writing it all out, whatever you do want to share I'm perfectly content with, I just love this boy so much so every time I get to read what happens around him I'm all stoked.

Another stunning work

Oh no, is the smoke staining his glasses? D:

thanks again, Boss ; 0; your comments are always such a treat!
And yeaaah...He tries to clean 'em, but...

Awww, come on, you make me blush! ;w; You're welcome!

That must become annoying after a while, endlessly trying to keep them clean.

Like someone else who posted, I've become weirdly emotionally invested in this now smokey boi. I really hope things work out for him, and also...I can't help but wonder what would happen if you threw him in a lake.

Amazing work by the way! He's beautiful as always, and I adore your level of detail.

haha! A Cinder in water would produce a lot of steam, and leave the water...very warm!
Thank you so much, Boss! ; v; <3
