'You're Drizzt Do'Urden!' | Astarion animation

It started as an exercise for my 2D animation course with @zyngaro but became a much bigger project than anticipated! xD So here you go: one of my favorite moments of the second episode of @HighRollersDnD one shot with the full Baldur's Gate 3 companions cast!
I reeeeealy loved the @NeilNewbonOfficial performance with Astarion seeing Drizzt (since I'm also a fan of the legendary drow!).
Congratulations for the GOTY awards, guysssssssss!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for watching!

It will always amuse me that we all agree that an elf’s ears will flick happily in excitement when they see something they adore. Love it!

Nobody is commenting on Neil's verbal typo and all I can think of is Astarion calling him "Drizzy" as if they're close friends XD

[Daelyah]

Considering that a number of players for the older Baldur's Gate games would beat up Drizzt to take his stuff... You KNOW there's some good, deep down in Astarion's warped heart! He had the opportunity to jack Drizzt's equipment, but instead gave it back to his favorite hero—squeaking the whole time! 😆

Astarion's too precious 💖

Meanwhile, Gale is just off screen, wearing a napkin and putting salt and pepper on a scimitar and an onyx panther statue...

I love how he is so excited he stumbles over the name. When I would meet Neil Newbon I also probably couldn't talk.

I loved thisbpart because it kinda ties into that idle chatter of Astarion's where he tries to make a pun of Drizzt's name. (It happens when you click his picture too much. I got it in the 3rd act while at camp in Rivington.)

Astarion squealing like a baby goat

Beautiful Animation 💕✨

[cherrysanguine]

I too would shriek if I met Drizzt so Astarion is reasonable

[elib]

Damn you made drizzt look like a whole damn snack!!!

[briarrose]

I literally just read a comment on another BG3 fan animation that said this scene needs to be animated and now its here! ❤

[potathoe]

I think it's a credit to your drawing/animation skills that when you were posting "Making of" videos on your socials, that didn't have the audio, I could still tell that he was saying "Oh my God"

Great job

[Froggywitchmama]

The way his ears move with the blinks!

[nunpho]

Omg the wiggly ears 😂. I love it!
I also loved this part of the show where neil started fangirling over drizzt

[beccazach]

Amazing work! This is why I NEED a whole animated show based on these characters and with these OG actors🤩 Seeing Gale and Wyll at the spa, or Lae'zel and Shadowheart babysitting an imp would actually kill me.

[nonducorduco]

It's also great that Neil intentionally messed up the name originally as an excited fan might just do...

[Cristin]

Oh he's so cute here! You have such a cute and expressive animation style that's so captivating to watch!

[mysterylala]

oh my gosh this is so well made i’m going feral

[rachelmagination]

It makes me indescribably happy and endlessly amused that there's now at least one animatic for this moment :joy:

[emilyfoutch]

it's very funny that my brain goes to my TAV, as she is a drow elf who I have decided is sort of like Dritzzt as it was his stories that helped to motivate her to escape from the under-dark so I feel like my character would be able to bond with Astarion over their shared love for his stories. I'm playing a Barbarian, with a folk hero background.

Wow your animation is smooth as butter.
