Dragon Age Day 2023!

Happy Dragon Age Day, dear friends and mutuals! Hope everyone's seen the new official Bioware teaser for DA:D!

To celebrate this occasion I wanted to revisit some of my favourite DA fanart drawn thoughout the years. The series holds a special place in my heart. It helped me to carry on through the darkest times, and thanks to DA fandom I've met wonderful people, some of whom became real life friends. So, buckle in and let's GO!

My journey began with playing DA:O back when it first came out and then revisiting it again in 2018-19 when I needed something to brighten up the days. My passion for this series and dark fantasy reignited and never died out since!

Here are some of the Heroes of Ferelden art commissions I've painted since then:

And now Hawkes:

The one and only Rynne Hawke, belonging to @pikapeppa

2. my Eris Hawke

3. Lovely @serpentsshipmate 's Marian Hawke

+ a couple of awesome commissioned custom Hawke characters

Let's not forget all the amazing Inquisitors out there, including the Fenquisitor from my own playthrough of DAI:

Beautiful locations across Thedas I did my best to capture on canvas (with various success as my skill was growing). Can you guess all of them?

Let's not forget to show some love for our travelling companions!

And a separate category just for Fenris, my best boy, who is singlehandedly responsible for me picking up a pencil and learning how to draw properly:

Don't know what I'm doing really, but I'm hoping to bump this. Super stressed about money and I'm trying to ride it out until I get hired, but even then it might be a bit before I get to actually work and receive a paycheck.

That being said, prices are super negotiable right now, I guess. I'll tag the fandoms I like that my brain can think of right now, I don't know.

Commissions!

I've recently found myself in a new situation where I have more time than usual and also need some money, so I'm making a proper commission post! In the tags, you will find a few of my fandoms that I am in (some of which I have art for below), but I am willing to draw for any fandom.

Question: "I need to know... In the Missing, Strife has a Vallaslin now. What is the time difference between your story and The Missing, as originally he did not have a Vallaslin?" Patrick Weekes: "Close-ISH to real-world passage of time. Strife has been working with the Dalish for a few years (and later, in the comic, the Veil Jumpers), so he picked up the vallaslin along the way."

[source]

another momentous day in the Strife Dragonage fandom (prev) [mfw Strife lore drops / Strife is mentioned aaaa]. PW explains Strife got his vallaslin between TN and DA: The Missing.

the note on current timeline is also interesting. Three Trees to Midnight from TN seems to be set around 9:44 or 9:45. TN released in 2020. the third issue of DA: The Missing released 3 years later in 2023. that would take the time in the third issue of The Missing to about 9:47 or 9:48. add another year or so as it's now 2024 - 9:48 or 9:49. add in a lil bit more time until DA:D releases irl, and then account for the fact/caveat with the fact that it's only very approximate ("ish") and not a direct one-to-one (so it could be a bit less or a bit more, you know, like +/- 1-3 or.. whatever), and 👁️ we are getting reeaal close to the ~9:52 date given in The Eternal Flame. (which people speculate might be the year in which DA:D kicks off or thereabouts, along with speculating about the related ~8-ish year timeskip from the events of Trespasser to the events of DA:D, meaning ~10-ish years timeskip from the events of DA:I basegame to the events of DA:D). about 10 years irl between games, and to me this seems to suggest about ten years passing in-world too.

a week in, slightly over 13k words!

I've finished Jasper meets Spence (only it's actually Jasper Goes Home and Spence is not there), picked at Into the Vault and Wintermas, and uh. predictably. Started a few more things.

One of them is a present and the other two are character prompts lmao

Have some of the present! local meddlesome werecreature Kamala, confident in the face of threats.

 "You don't intend to kill me," Kamala blurted out, wriggling under the harpy's talons as they got tighter with every incremental shift.  "Oh?" The harpy cocked its head, sounding amused. "Whatever makes you so confident of that?" It didn't loosen its talons. "Because Bran hasn't turned up to stop it." Kamala stopped shifting where she was, still on the mostly-animal side of her half-form.  "Bran," the harpy repeats. "Ah, you are the ward of the Bran Sidhe. I have heard things about you."  "All good, I hope." Kamala smiled, sweeping her tail up across her body as if to shield her as best she could.  The harpy laughed. "What are you doing in the library, little squirrel?"  "I'm here to borrow a book?" Kamala fluttered her paw as if to tap at the harpy's talons, and thought better of it. "I don't suppose you would let me up?"

NaNoWriMo 2023!
