Astarion is about to get even more time in the spotlight. The iconic vampire spawn rouge from Baldur’s Gate 3 is the subject of a new high-end art print from Spanish illustrator Álvaro Jiménez and Sideshow Collectibles.
The prints are limited to just 300 copies and will be officially released in December 2026. You can, however, pre-order one now from Sideshow Collectibles. Below, we take a closer look at this new take on everyone’s favorite BGG3 blood sucker.
What is Sideshow’s new Astarion art print?
Astarion: The Pale Elf is a new art print that features both the official Dungeons & Dragons and Baldur’s Gate 3 licenses. Physically, it’s 18 x 24″ in size (which essentially makes it poster sized) and printed on heavyweight 100% cotton, acid-free, certified archival Fine Art Paper using Epson archival inks. The print is limited to just 300 copies, each of which includes and embossed seal of authenticity and is wrapped and hand-rolled in acid free paper and shipped in a 4” diameter tube.
As the title suggests, the focus is primarily on Astarion, although the image also depicts the vampire lord Cazador Szarr and Astarion’s six fellow vampire spawn siblings, Leon, Aurelia, Yousen, Dalyria, Petras and Violet.
The illustration itself is from Spanish illustrator Álvaro Jiménez, who has previously provided art for brands including Wizards of the Coast, Games Workshop, Bandai/NAMCO and Cubicle7.
How much is the Astarion: The Pale Elf art print?
The print comes in three versions and price points:
- Giclée on Paper (Unframed, 18 x 24″): $95 USD. The standard high quality print version.
- Giclée on Paper (Contemporary Frame, 18 x 24″): $235 USD. The same print in a 1.25″ satin black frame with framing-grade acrylic, measuring roughly 20 x 26″ overall, with a wire hanger already installed.
- HD Aluminum (Black Frame, 16 x 24″): $375 USD. Printed on glossy, scratch-resistant ChromaLuxe metal and mounted in a black wood float frame.
All prices are before shipping and taxes, although Sideshow does have Flex Pay payment plans for the pricier version. Notably, the paper versions of the print are limited to 300 pieces, while the HD Aluminum version is even rarer, with only 75 pieces being made.
What other Baldur’s Gate 3 products does Sideshow have?
Back in June 2026, Sideshow announced it had signed a Baldur’s Gate 3 license to create new collectibles. This Astarion art print is one of the first wave of products from that agreement, along with a new1:6 scale Astarion statue (which retails for $315 USD and is due to ship in mid-2027).
Sideshow has also revealed a second BG3 print entitled Baldur’s Gate III: The Elfsong Tavern by artist Ian MacDonald, which shows Shadowheart, Lae’zel, Gale, Jaheira, Minsc and Boo, Karlach, Wyll and Astarion enjoying a short rest at the Lower City’s famous tavern. It’s available unframed, framed or as an HD Aluminum print, ranging from $95 USD unframed to $375 USD for the HD Aluminum version, and is expected to ship between November 2026 and January 2027.
Final Thoughts
While Baldur’s Gate 3 is now several years old, Astarion continues to be a fan favorite, having appeared in a variety of other tie-in products, including the Astarion’s Book of Hungers D&D 5.5E supplement, a vinyl figure from Nendoroid, a recently released prequel novel by author T. Kingfisher and an upcoming comic book series from Dark Horse. This new art print, however, suggests there’s still plenty of life left in the Pale Elf.
You can pre-order the new art print now from Sideshow Collectibles.
