Khalid Is Such A Cutie

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

HAPPY JAHEIRA X KHALID BRAIN ROT ANNIVERSARY TO MEEEEE 🎉🎉🎉

(Kinda)

One year ago was not the start of the brain rot but it was the date I could find for when I started making fanart disclaimer I didn’t finish most of them lol

In honor of this special occasion let’s look back on some of it!

These are the dated ones:

It is the only finished one that I will be showing here lmaooo wow Khalid has changed over the year. For context this was before I saw githyankidanky’s design and was like “that’s him, that’s the guy”

I was doing an expression challenge at the time which I also never finished but THIS WAS THE BEGINNING

These two never got out of the gesture and the structure lol.

The text on the left one reads: “excuse me, he asked for no pickles”

The one on the right was going to be the picture Jaheira has of them down in her basement in Bg3 that Khalid got from the wizard since she banned him from poetry. I don’t know why I cropped it at the thigh?? I feel like it should be down to the waist at most but whatever past wren.

The unfortunate thing is that most of these relics are now lost as I doodled them on the sides of my notes, I did find one though! And it was this:

True artistry right there tbh

So happy anniversary to me and many more!

I prefer these long periods of relaxation. Lovely day for it.

Thank you Khalid for being the only person on this team who can relax

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

I SCREAMED ITS SO GOOD
