And What Better Medium To Do That With Than The Blood Of His Foes? - Tumblr Posts

Is your Durge REALLY dating someone if they don't draw them in blood occasionally?

Anyways, Mordriel drawings of Astarion

And an "eyeless" version! I think I kinda like it

Mordriel likes to give his companions... "gifts". Usually bones, parts of their enemies, etc.... but sometimes he just draws them something! In blood of course, he's never THAT normal. He has to be a freak, always.

Drawing his lover's FACE though is mostly an Astarion-specific thing for Mordriel, because Astarion spent so long NOT seeing his face. And also especially since he knows Halsin is... not exactly as keen on these gifts, Mordriel puts all of his creepy gifts onto Astarion, so he's only ever drawn Astarion's face like this. He grew a slight artistic flair from his hunts with Orin back in his prime, but I don't think he ever really grew beyond Bhaalist symbols until Astarion came around. Then, he started studying Astarion's face. Then animals that reminded him of Astarion (deer and cats especially). I feel like Mordriel would learn to draw faces REALLY well just to be like "look what I made you!!! It's you!!" to Astarion, and then wipe it off the wall/surface he drew it on so that Astarion doesn't get pinned for a crime.
