Completed character desgin commission for Mezzo!!!

[theangrypomeranian]

Still screaming over these two!! Thank you so much, Bee! They look SO CUTE!!! 😍💖😍💖

Meet Gabe & Emma.

An OC commission I did for @theangrypomeranian ! Thanks for trusting me with your OCs Pom <3. (They look so good together if I say so myself. I had fun playing with a limited colour palette this time)

(For those looking to get a commission from me, see my pinned post or go right to my ko-fi. This is an excellent example of 2 characters, full body, full detail colour with a basic (v) background. Total would run you $38.)

It was difficult to translate Final Fantasy Bunny Man into a realistic style, but Mimir turned out pretty well. (He's an elf, that hairstyle just hides his ears.)

AND HERE'S MY BOY

He turned out so well that I almost wanted to back out just to make him my Rook :')

That's all I have time for tonight, alas...

@raccnarok you

Guy just walked in with a shirt that said “I don’t question my wife’s choices because I’m one of them” and frankly I’m obsessed

[angel--finder]

does an angel that had a very fluffy moth like appearance and four wings with peach and pink tones seem familiar to anyone? their name was Embriel.

they sound so cute omg ^^^^^^^^^

-mod hae

[im-angelic-maybe]

It had to have been that or something close...Embriel...maybe

Was my name...Ambriel..

[theangrypomeranian]

[mercurialmalcontent]

omg.

OMG OMG OMG

IT'S HIM IT'S MY BOY

I almost didn't clock it was him at first, he walks onto the screen and I'm like what the heck, who is this... strangely familiar... OMG!!!!!!!!

He's perfect 😭 It really felt like Embriel! The VA sounded huskier and less pointy than he did in DAI but it really works for him.

(I realized a few days ago that I'd made his shoulders too wide, but fuck it, the stringbean DAI model was silly.)

I am SO glad that I've mostly weaned myself off of the 'people-pleasing wet rag' type of character for my first playthrough of an RPG because it's made those first playthroughs so much more memorable. I barely remember my first DAI character because she didn't have a personality beyond 'largely inoffensive', and while I had fun it was something like 60 hours of my life that could have been a lot more enjoyable.

My first Veilguard playthrough, however, is going to stick with me a long time. Playing as Mimir meant making choices that valued the greater good as he (I) knew it at the time while setting aside personal feelings, which meant living with harsh results and having to ask, was this really worth it?

(Spoilers for the whole game behind the cut)

The first big one that comes to mind is the choice to personally defend either Minrathous or Treviso. He'd had a growing interest in Lucanis, who is very much his type, and it broke his heart to have Lucanis plead with him to save Treviso but feeling like he had to prioritize the Venatori as a growing threat.

But then he had to see Treviso turned into a blight-filled horror, Lucanis wanted nothing to do with him, and the Venatori weren't slowed down even a little bit. I had to think a lot about how that would inform his future choices, and decided it made him more impatient with stonewalling, but more willing to consider closer, more personal factors.

Treviso hardened him in some ways while softening him in others. It made him have no patience with the First Warden, which was bitter and sad when he and Davrin found the man in the Deep Roads and what little sense he had left him at the sight of Mimir. It made him feel more able to open his heart to Harding and willing to be a little selfish to keep her at his side, which may have kept (did keep) her alive (and he'll always be haunted by the 'what if', as much as he is by Davrin and Assan's deaths). He was so protective of Taash that he said harsh things to their mother that he'll never be able to take back.

Without all of this, he would have tricked Solas into taking the wrong dagger, but with that softening of his heart he was willing to consider Embriel's plea to find another way. But what if? What if Lace had died? (He would have thrown the full force of his anger and grief onto Solas, forcing Solas into the Fade still screaming he's a god, is what.)

And other things, little things, like advising Taash to embrace both of their cultures as he did his as both an elf and a Nevarran. Feeling immense grief at Manfred's sacrifice, but still advising his beloved friend to follow his greatest dream because he knows what an honor it is and he can think of no one better to watch over the Necropolis and the Fade for eternity (but how would he have felt about his peace with Manfred's death if Lace had died? Could he find that peace for her if he can hardly find that peace for Varric? That's a hypocrisy that will weigh on him for a long time).

If I'd had that milquetoast first playthrough, I wouldn't be getting the enjoyment of chewing away at this, I'd have to delay it to the next playthrough, the fun playthrough. Worst of all, the see-all-sides-make-no-strong-statements style of playing would have robbed me of the impact of Mimir absolutely ripping the absent Solas a new one:

(The British male VA killed it with the angry choices in these scenes.)
