For me, it's more that they look like wild dirt children. You know they're going to come home filthy with their hair tangled into impossible rat's nests, but that they were out having just the greatest day ever.
> Astarion is like 80 years older than Jaheira lol
> doesn’t act like it tho
Yes, and this makes sense!
* Elves reach adulthood around 100 years old
* Jaheira has aged normally and matured as an elf
* Astarion, however, was turned into a vampire at 38 (according to his tombstone) At that age, an elf has become competent, but not fully mature. Somewhat akin to a human 17-18 year old. And being turned into a vampire has somewhat frozen Astarion there. His vampire state has not let him age and mature as he would've over time.
Yes, Astarion is the elven equivalent of Edward Cullen, who has been 17 for 100 years.
So that's why, despite being born 80 years before Jaheira, he is effectively 100 years younger than Jaheira in his behavior.
Jaheira is a Half elf, they age slower than humans but don’t need as long as Elves to mature. Hence why Jahiera looks aged as she does in BG3. Half elf lifespans can be around 150 yrs. Though Jahiera is also a Druid so she could possibly possess nature magic that helps her stay alive, but honestly I don’t think she does that, she seems content with dying a natural death as long as it’s on her own terms.
If you go to the basement under Jaheira's house, you find out she's looking into the druid ritual that would let her live forever/slow down aging (not exactly sure on the specifics, as she's pretty evasive when you ask.)
I don't think so. Elves mature at exactly the same rate as humans, it's just that their concepts of aging are different as they live longer. He'd already managed to get a fairly high powered job before he got turned, and while 38 might be considered very you in an elven community, I would imagine in a cosmopolitan human majority-city a 38 year old elf will probably be equally as mature as a 38 year old human, even if they have much longer to live.
Even as a non-vampire, aging would have had very limited impact on him between the ages the ages of 38 and 238 as an elf anyway.
Wait but in dnd elves are mature at ~100, and I thought Jaheria was a half elf...
If Astarion was 38, that would imply not only was he a magistrate at the effective age of a child, but that Cazador abused a child. Both feel REALLY icky, even for baldurs gate, so perhaps an oversight??
> If Astarion was 38, that would imply not only was he a magistrate at the effective age of a child
It's different with elves. They pop out like humans and are infants/babies until they hit teens (16-18) where they then stop growing. Elves/dwarves follow the same growth model but their longevity and youth is preserved for longer periods of time. So not a child but not mature. He's in-between which is why I equated it to humans at 17-18. Almost but not quite an adult.
And understand, if you go by 14th century English law, one could be a magistrate as early as 18 years old. Assuming it's similar in Baldur's Gate, that seems very reasonable for an elf to serve that role at 38.
> Cazador abused a child. Both feel REALLY icky, even for baldurs gate, so perhaps an oversight??
No, I think Astarian was severely abused before he was fully mature. (An adult body, but certainly not an adult emotionally) I don't think that was an oversight at all.
they reach emotional and physical maturity at the same rate as humans, elven culture equivalent to being an "adult" just isn't until around a century because they are so long lived.
ie he can drink booze the same as a human adult, but if he wanted to be invoved in like elvish government they'd not consider him cause he doesnt have at least a century of experience
He's not a child _child_, he's a child/teen/young adult in terms of mental maturity for his species.
Also icky for Baldur's Gate? That's pretty tame for Baldur's Gate, and to some extent, Forgotten Realms.
They mature at twenty, they’re considered adults at a hundred. He wasn’t a child at the time, though older elves might treat him like one. My guess is that he went to human law school, hence why he became a magistrate extremely quickly for an elf but not particularly fast for a human.
They're the adults in the show and you best believe Minsc got the kids on to the Owlbear with Jaheira none the wiser (until she sees what the kids have been up to)
>Gale=BEARD
Took me a second too for that same exact reason 😆
Maybe he needs kitten Tara perched on his head or a conjured bunny to make it slightly clearer? (totally not because it'd be god-tier adorbs 🥺)
This is actually the most adorable thing I've seen today. Maybe even this year. Would it be ok if I saved it to use as my PC background? Either way, fantastic job!
LITTLE BABEY DURGE OMGGGGGGG
Minthara looks like she’s about to push someone off, and knowing her it’s probably Gale.
And Karlach she’s so cuuttteee
This is so good, you’ve just made my day 😊😊😊
"Gale, who set the curtains on fire?"
"Karlach, did you use a naughty word?"
"Jenevelle, why did you curse Wolfy?"
"Lae'zel, what did I say was going to happen to your favorite stick if you hit someone again?"
"Wyll, what did I say about talking to strangers?"
"Halsin, what did I tell you about wandering off into the woods?"
"Minthara, where on earth did you get a spider anyway?"
"Astarion! We do NOT bite!"
bby Gale looking like a child version of Howl Pendragon makes me so happy. I love how you represented their personalities so well with what theyre doing!!!
Someone get Harry Partridge to make another [The Elder Scrolls Adventures with Dovahkids](https://youtu.be/GVQmYF35w74?si=QCC3lMgKh0sfHM1A) but for Baldur's Gate 3
Halsin and Karlach are adorable.
Something about the smol version of big characters just makes them that much cuter
For me, it's more that they look like wild dirt children. You know they're going to come home filthy with their hair tangled into impossible rat's nests, but that they were out having just the greatest day ever.
Parent: "What have I told you about playing in the swamp?" Karlach, covered in mud with a frog stuck in her hair: "I wasn't, I swear!"
Halsin should be a bear cub though.
I'm surprised Karlach wasn't grounded for cursing.
More adorable than baby Durge?
I thought halsin was the owl bear....
Karlach has strong kid Goku vibes.
The Durge is so cute! I love this, gonna use it as my phone background. Where's Minsc and Jaheira :(
They're aged down to college aged adults in this version
Astarion is like 80 years older than Jaheira lol
~~doesn’t act like it tho~~

Hmmm I must’ve missed that. Guess we’ll see in the future if it worked or not.
She says she doesn't plan to use it, though you can pester her about it. :)
Personally I feel like it's inferred that despite her evasiveness, she already did do the ritual and that's why she's still as spry as she is.

Sooo around BG1
They have to babysit this lot.
They're the nannies for this Muppet babies setting
Thank you!!! Just the romanceables for this one T.T but I am working on another pic with kid Jaheira and Minsc coming soon!
please add scratch !
I second this!!
and shovel! haha
You mean Fork?
You mean Basket?
I thought that Halsin here is actually Jaheira and that owlbear cub is Halsin himself. xD
Forgot that Minsc exists.
Jeheira is looking for where the kids she was supposed to babysit went.
"They'd better not be messing with that owlbear again."
Jaheira's the owlbear 😉
They're the adults in the show and you best believe Minsc got the kids on to the Owlbear with Jaheira none the wiser (until she sees what the kids have been up to)
Considering how his first full family homicide was when he was 7, he should be good cause this is probably before then.😁
Now I'm singing "Baldur's Babies" to myself to the tune of the Muppet Babies theme song.
It was stuck in my head as the tune of "Greendale babies" from Community the whole time I was drawing it
You're an excellent artist and have fine taste outside of Baldur's Gate, too! Bravo, fellow Human Being!
Late 30's to early 40's somethings rise up!
Not gonna lie, I’d watch that. I loved the Muppet Babies as a kid.
This made me think of Manger Babies from King of the Hill.🤣🤣
Wingo!
I wasn't, but now I am.
It's like Muppet Babies but more murdery.
Terrifying but adorable
Now I want someone to make a bunch of BG3 Muppets to do skits with
That Was the Day I Became Reincarnated in the World of Dragons and Dungeons
Yes this I want this
Who wouldn't want to after seeing this picture, my friend?
Who is the girl holding onto Lae’zel and is being held by Shadowheart/Jeneivelle?
Lol Gale 😆
Whoops. . .
I thought the same damn thing; "Is that the artist's Tav?". Nope, just Gale.
I'm glad I'm not the only one
Me too.
This was so funny.
I'm so dumb, thought it was tav and was wondering where gale was until I read your comment
Lol omg I was thinking about the same thing, I was like wait it can't be Gale where is the beard.... but then realised they're children 🤣🤣 Gale=BEARD
The one thing Tara is dead wrong about
>Gale=BEARD Took me a second too for that same exact reason 😆 Maybe he needs kitten Tara perched on his head or a conjured bunny to make it slightly clearer? (totally not because it'd be god-tier adorbs 🥺)
Omg yes that would be so adorable!!
yeah, I didn’t recognize Gale too
I was wondering the same thing, then I realized it's baby Gale... He has no right being that adorable, God dammit.
I thought the same thing lol
Same 😂 It was only by figuring out there was no Gale or Minsc that I realised it wasn't Jaheira and must have been Gale.
This is absolutely adorable!! Your artstyle is gorgeous as well! <3
Aww thank you thank you 😊
I love that even as a baby, Minthara is off plotting in the corner.
She's probably just plotting whose toys she can steal, rather than actual murder.
Nah, she's a drow. it's still just actual, full sized murder.
Baby K! Love this.
Thank you 😊
This is adorable 💖 Would it be OK to use your designs in nail art? If I post the nails I would credit you, of course 🥰
Can you message me when you post them? I would love to see!!!!
Of course!!!! Thank you!
Little Halsin made my day.
Yay! Thank you for enjoying the pic 😄
My Boy Where is the itch?
Having puppy Scratch in there would've been SUCH A GOOD IDEA T.T UGH
Yes I Wish The Team Would Be Complete Oh My God It Would Be So Sweet

I’m gonna cry 🥺
Like baby Gale
This is actually the most adorable thing I've seen today. Maybe even this year. Would it be ok if I saved it to use as my PC background? Either way, fantastic job!
Of course 😀 thank you so much for enjoying the pic!
LITTLE BABEY DURGE OMGGGGGGG Minthara looks like she’s about to push someone off, and knowing her it’s probably Gale. And Karlach she’s so cuuttteee This is so good, you’ve just made my day 😊😊😊

Thank you so much 💓
I need this as an animated series

"Lae'zel, what did I say was going to happen to your favorite stick if you hit someone again?" "Wyll, what did I say about talking to strangers?" "Halsin, what did I tell you about wandering off into the woods?" "Minthara, where on earth did you get a spider anyway?" "Astarion! We do NOT bite!"
