"Astarion Needs a Loan" animatic - (from Bg3 cast plays D&D)

Animatic for one of my favorite moments from the Baldur's Gate 3 Cast plays D&D. (ep 1)
Yes I do have all consuming Baldur's Brainworms, and no I don't need any assistance.

[@mandy-rk1kg]

Sooooo Larian Studios featured this in their video for the one year anniversary of Baldurs Gate 3! I immediately recognized the animatic clip. Congratulations!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/baXJoGCtjLOmr7s

[@Skelepun]

WHAT?

[@Skelepun]

Thank you for letting me know!? I AM SHAKING i hadn't seen that at all, my month is already made and it's only the 6th!!!!!

[@sociallyundead419]

What I would GIVE for this cast to just continue playing dnd.

[@josh___something]

What I would give to see AT LEAST Tim Downie and Neil Newbon continue playing D&D. Not to say the other folks were bad, but their dynamic was fuckin gut-busting.

[@ohhello937]

@@josh___something I dunno Shadowheart and Laezel are so good too. Their VAs keep doing things together and the chemistry is great. Love how the four VAs whose characters kind of rival each others do so well together.

[@phoenixastra4429]

they really should this is amazing hahaah

[@josh___something]

@@ohhello937 I mean, there's probably tons of recording sessions where they had to quip at each other for hours, hard not to build rapport with someone at that point

[@ohhello937]

@@josh___something I don't think they recorded in the same room though? Every behind the scenes I've seen it's just 1 VA in a room with mocap on acting. Majority of the acting was solo and to the player. Even the DnD session they said on social media was the first time they all met up together in a room before.

[@cinnamonsparrowdesigns]

I loved this during their session - "10 and I want change" lmao

[@TheArmouredAlechemist]

As a British person I've heard that so many times I regards to lending money. It makes me smile something so normal here in this context is hilarious.

[@TulsaKanette]

i love astarion twirling his finger through gale's hair. like he's trying to flirt with him or something

[@Diligent-Witch]

It works for him 99% of the time

[@RebekkaJones]

*I *Astarion *Gale's *Like

[@lenorecrosbysmith5451]

All of Astarion's last 200 years of life experience consists of flirting and eating putrid sewer rats. Its the one thing he's good at.

[@ArtificiallyIdiotic]

​@@RebekkaJonesoh no, it's the English teacher!

[@noonenowhere877]

@ArtificiallyIdiotic Oh no! The essay isn’t done yet RUN!

[@nikuci8696]

"Twenty?" 🥺👉👈 I died because of Astarion's pleading face 😂😂😂

[@VadBlackwood]

Aw, too bad "Melty McMetalhands" didn't make it, great animatic

[@Skelepun]

I agree, it was a real struggle to decide where to cut the audio, it's a tough balance between keeping all the funny things I want in, or having it too big and becoming utterly overwhelmed by the project. Melty Mc Metalhands was excellent and I refused to cut out the "just give it to her" bit to keep Karlach represented.

[@dealwithit9772]

Them being so comfortable casually flirting like that kinda fits, though. The negotiation of the amount was cute.

[@emilyrasputin]

I see it more like Gale being immune to Astarion's flirting because he knows him 😂

[@beccazach]

The way you drew their body language here?! Tim and Neil's chemistry was amazing, and if they ever make a whole show with these characters I NEED more moments like this between Gale and Astarion :') I love them SM

[@ozziestone9200]

THE LITTLE SMIRK GALE GAVE ASTARION WHEN HE SAW HIM TWIRLING HIS HAIR AAAAAAAAAA

[@RaspberryRenegade]

Yasssss! That little detail made it even more perfect

[@anonthe-third2367]

the "TEN and i want change!!" kills me every time

[@tiph3802]

I love Astarion's laugh after Gale's indignant "what?!" He looks so happy and cute!

[@imbackbillyandiwantu]

"Twenty! What?!" In Gales little awkward squawk is hilarious

[@tweakextra]

the little finger push at the end when astarion's like "how about i see u at 15" is so funny to me

[@rohverr]

BLOODWEAVE RISEEEE

[@adrianrandom3448]

THEY'RE SO HANDSOME IN YOUR STYLE THIS IS EYE CANDY

[@Pirated89]

HIS BABY DOLL EYES WHEN HE ASKS FOR 20. And Gale giving him 10 and demanding CHANGE. I'M DYING

[@FBWL-u1r]

Twirling Gale's hair around his finger is such a perfect little detail 😄

[@rin7564]

And, lets not forget.. Karlachs thumbs up, goofy grin, then dab..😂❤

[@anniesay3388]

I wish I could like this more than once, you captured both their characters' perfectly. I especially love the look on both of their faces right at 0:27 when Astarion asks for a twenty. Priceless.

[@barbaricDM]

The animation and their banter reminds me so much of the two guys from Road to Eldorado, this is delightful

[@EloraKay]

I never caught the "i dont have a job" 🤷🏼‍♀️🥺👉🏼👈🏼 ITS SO BABYGIRL

[@Ellisepha]

I loooooole how you made Gale lean into it ❤ such a cute animation with so much subtle character!

[@ClydeOnPluto]

HAHA xD this animation is brilliant. Love the hair twirl & Karlach dabbing lmao

[@riseandroot4530]

Honestly, did no one catch the dab? I nearly expired lol

[@rowdy-cowpoke]

oh this is SO good! I love the little details here, like Astarion twirling Gale’s hair and pushing back his finger when they’re negotiating. I wish I could like this video 100 times it’s absolutely fantastic ❤❤❤

[@falconeshield]

THAT HEART ON MAMA K

[@OMG_Pancakes]

Great job! The way Astarion plays with Gale's hair while he tries to butter him up for cash was perfect. XD I love seeing all the art and animations people have been making for the oneshot.

[@ArtificiallyIdiotic]

Your animation is so expressive, even on the small things like the fingers touching at the end, there's so much personality ❤

[@ichi_san]

this is awesome. i love how grabby and seductive Astarion is to Gale in this whilst the convo is funny too

[@sylkates]

Tim and Neal have amazing banter. ❤️

[@colleen6440]

You drew Gale so handsome, dang.

[@yeahnah27]

LOL! One of my fave moments from the stream :D Lovely animation

[@MunkyBall]

thats so freaking adorable

[@kyuubinagashi]

[@DtlaDaisy]

Not astarion twirling his finger in gales hair😂

[@PurplePufferfish]

[@GhoulIntheCabinet]

The body language is actually so fantastic you did so good here!!!!!!

[@pancakeoftheopera2808]

I want them as an animated show, man

[@katherinee.9105]

[@fabricofdreams.]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING the audio omg and I love your animation 😭😭 it's perfect

[@hawwquinn]

"Cal it 10 and I want change" is such dad energy

[@emcheetos4740]

Ohhh my gods, this is incredible, absolutly love the way you drew their body language and interaction😭

[@NotEnoughSpots]

im in full control of how money gets spent so i imagine this playing out as "can i borrow 20?" "20!? ... so low, i can do 50?"

[@StephyM.C.]

I love that he is showing up in other media now yay!

[@nullix3327]

This is going into my favorites. Incredible animation with lots of personality! Love it

[@agirlnamedbrett.]

lol 'i sense where this is going' 'yessss'

[@r0se.x.]

The way you animated them is like Miguel and Tulio from the road to Eldorado bickering lmao

[@salemfae]

hell yeah this is great! their body language is precious

[@giagraham]

This was done so well, I love it

[@caitlyncpelletier]

This animation really is wonderfully expressive.

[@erdnuzz8368]

Good old flirty "i want something from you what you will not like to give" talking XD

[@minimonster2319]

This is a fantastic animatic! What an awesome part of the campaign to animate, too; its so funny XD You did a great job, and it shows that you put a lot of hardwork into it! ❤

[@freakyskull516]

as a wizard main i find the rogue asking the wizard for money a ridiculous venture wizard is the class that you have to pay for the whole game and as a result the wizard is almost always poor until late levels meanwhile rogue is one of the cheapest classes to maintain

[@cactusbuds2979]

It MIGHT be cash 😌💅

[@echidnah1]

this is good! I'm not a gale person but he looks very tasty here

[@SiminaDar]

In my playthrough, my tav and Astarion are carrying all the money. Gale has to come to his sugar mama if he wants any wizard stuff.
