Once sufficiently assured it's safe and convinced to go, Dal goes to a massage parlor. He promptly falls asleep on the table and has the best rest he's had in nearly two centuries

Dal's got custom adamantine daggers that he got when he was made Patron of House Strighym! For whatever reason, they weren't taken from him when he was exiled. Probably a cocky mistake on Nedvyllanna's part.

So, BG3 Dal (right) is an AU of TES Dal (left), so I already had a base to work from.
He's a dark elf in both, keeps facial, neck, and chest scarring of some sort, and the notch in his left ear.
His high cheekbones, intense eyes, and long black hair--

Dal tried to dance "disrespectfully" for a competition and only managed to disrespect his back injury. whoops! :')

They're all AUs of the same OC, but :')
Dalamus Rex: Bisexual
Damon Rex: Nonbinary (he/it), Bisexual
Dalamus Strighym: Bisexual, Demiromantic
Dalamus Sarangerel: Nonbinary (he/they), Asexual + Aromantic

Grieving vampire angry at the world learns how to love and be loved through patience and forgiveness, healing without having to destroy the part of himself (vampirism) which previously labeled him a "monster".
#dragonblepsart
Full pic because I drew the entire cat for some reason when I didn't need to :')
Guess I could color it in as a ref sheet for his cat sometime

Dal is scurrying off somewhere to hide--oh, wait, his cat Alantha has picked him up! Finally, her stubborn blue kitten is more kitten sized for her to take care of!
She'll keep him safe until the spell wears off :)

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym & Nilaufein #dragonblepsart
Dal takes Emmie to see his brother Nilaufein.
Nil has a ranch! Lots of room to run, and dirt to dig to help plant, and lots of Riding Lizards to play with! They're big but social and friendly! And she can play with some of Nil's kids, too!

Eye chart I made for the visual of a gradient change rather than a binary "they're either red or yellow" like a light switch. Not shown are more specific situations and variations I sometimes use in descriptions, but maybe someday I'll draw those too :)

PokeDal (Damon) owns a sanctuary for Pokémon who can't/shouldnt/don't want to be with trainers & need a space away from that stress of being caught.
His team is Zoroark, Crobat, Lampent, Umbreon, Houndoom, Corviknight, sanctuary pokemon who trust him the most.
If you see this, post an elf!

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym #dragonblepsart
A bajillion years ago I drew Dal's original version (Skyrim dark elf vampire) as a vampire bat!
But BG3 Dal, to keep with the theme while also making him distinct, would be a Greater False Vampire Bat! Highly carnivorous, but not sanguinivorous.
Here's his Pokemon version (Damon Rex) and a version of him as a guest/visitor from No I'm Not A Human (also Damon Rex)

LMAO.
No.
At least not TES Dal or BG3 Dal.
Here's TES Dal with a gun for the giggles. Drawn when bots on tumblr started reblogging my art & i wanted a funny way to say "hands off!".
CW: guns

But he's also gone through a lot of healing thanks to loved ones. He's been married, divorced, has a daughter, now has a werelion boyfriend, and several friends he loves with his whole heart regardless of how little it beats.

What a good opportunity to talk about Dal's original verse, Dalamus Rex! :3c
A Dunmer/Bosmer vampire called Dal by most or Mr. Grumpyfangs by the brave. He's a guy with anger issues and a bloody violent past filled with angst about his vampirism--

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym #dragonblepsart
I briefly tried this hairstyle until I realized it blocked his face in screenshots half the time and that's Unacceptable.
Next is current in-game Dal and while not the most recent ref drawing of him, I haven't changed his design much since :)

Depends on who called him cute, but mostly embarrassed

He draws! It's how he preserves memories from places he's been, things he's learned or done, and people he's met. He writes notes in the pages with the pictures, and also uses it as a scrapbook, preserving small tangible parts of his journey :)
#tavqotd #damonrex #dragonblepsart #dalamusstrighym and Nilaufein!
Dal's pokemon AU: Damon Rex! All his pokemon are rescues or sanctuary surrenders :3
And for fun: Strighym and Nilaufein
#wolqotd #dalamussarangerel #dalamusrex
Dal's eye and hair color combo of red and black is a holdover from his original verse, a dark elf vampire from The Elder Scrolls! #dragonblepsart
Asking a father (silversmith) to choose between his children (jewelry) smh
But... A favorite might be a silver and garnet hair adornment he made and wore while in House Strighym. Made him feel princely. Unfortunately, he lost it in the fall from the Nautiloid. #dragonblepsart
#ocqotd #dalamusrex #damonrex #nsfw #dragonblepsart
TES Dal does, but only just. It's very exclusive. He's a vampire with a werelion boyfriend.
Modern Dal is similar, a vampire with a werebear for a friend with benefits.
First vs Last art of your OC 🩸
First art of any version of Dal ever + First and last of BG3 Dal lmao #dragonblepsart
Kalanzar! #dragonblepsart
Kalanzar had already been a Master of Crafts in House Strighym for decades by the time Dalamus was brought in. He specialized in painting and ceramics. He's energetic, extroverted, passionate and considered eccentric for that passion.

NPCs (minus family): Rava, Nedvyllanna Strighym, Kalanzar, Kaliath, Elara.
First up: Ravalyndrix! Rava for short, Rava's a silver(?) dragonborn who was Dal's brother, Nilaufein's, long time friend & helped to look after a young Dal. She's a baker,
