Astarion and Karlach are here to slay, and I'm not talking about taking care of a few mind flayers on a nautiloid.
These two multilayer stencil portraits in spray paint feature two of the most fashion-forward companions from Baldur's Gate 3 and are sure to be the envy of every serious art collector along the entire Sword Coast.
Hours were spent in camp with each character and, using the game’s photo mode alongside the “Lighty Lights” mod from Nexus (https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/14364), the most glam shots possible were captured. The images were then transformed in GIMP into stencil templates. The last step: using art grade acrylic spray paint to create the final product. Karlach and Astarion themselves are decpicted in grey scale and each given a vibrant background to allow the characters to truly stand out. Both pieces are on canvas measuring 24inx20in (60 cm x 50 cm)
