Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, despite being a breakout hit, hasn\u2019t been monetized in any way outside of some digital deluxe goodies. Larian isn\u2019t even planning to release DLC despite players clamoring for it. So, the only way for loyal fans to get more Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 in their life is through merch. They\u2019ve got the traditional smattering of artbooks, records, and T-shirts you\u2019d expect from a video game developer\u2019s merch store, but one artist found her way into working with Larian by offering them something they didn\u2019t have yet. With the opening line of, \u201cI art directed Fall Guys apparel, please let me make a muscle mommy Karlach shirt,\u201d one Anna Hollinrake managed to land a job designing a T-shirt for the company. The shirt depicts an Owlbear cub napping with Scratch at camp, a nod to two animal companions the player can pick up over the course of BG3\u2019s campaign. However, keen-eyed Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans may have noticed a sore lack of \u201cmuscle mommy Karlach\u201d on this shirt. The Karlach enjoyers out there are surely flying their freak flags at half-mast. Hollinrake\u2019s replies were filled with people saying things like, \u201cBut where\u2019s the Karlach muscle mommy shirt????\u201d and, \u201cDoes that shirt exist yet?\u201d Considering how beloved Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s characters are by the fandom, it\u2019d be no surprise to see them on merch in the future so fans can rep their favorite party member. But, as of now, there is no official Karlach shirt, or shirts with any of BG3\u2019s party members on them for that matter. While she has yet to give an update on whether or not Larian is still interested in putting Karlach on a shirt as per her initial email, Hollinrake working on a game of her own called Crescent County in the meantime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 devs hired an artist after she offered to draw \u201cmuscle mommy Karlach\u201d YouTube\/Naughty GamingArtist Anna Hollinrake revealed that she got to work with Larian, the developers behind Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, thanks to sending a cold open email offering to draw \u201cmuscle mommy Karlach\u201d for a T-shirt design.
