Dragon Age Character Bunting

I did it. I finished this thing. Look at these gifs I made.

It's a free download on my ko-fi here, or click the link below the cut.

Tools needed: Glue, scissors, hole puncher.

(A printer too technically, but I don't own one so I went to OfficeWorks to print mine).

CONTENT WARNING: blood splatters.

Did a write up post on Ko-fi too.

I really hope to do more of these. This project is a perfect way for me to get character design studies done. I simplified their appearances and made some of their outlines blocky for the purposes of cutting them out easier. Even so, some areas are tricky to cut. I plan to work on another bunting of triangles next, again reflecting Dragon Age: Origins themes. If folks are finding these characters are too tricky to cut out, I hope the next designs will be more accommodating.

I initially wanted these to be double-sided, so you could have each character facing either facing/looking left or right. The first character I worked on was Morrigan, who has a asymmetrical appearance lol. Immediately after inverting her sketch to inspect the other side, I realised I can't flip her shoulder feathers to the other side. So the double sided idea was scrapped, and instead I thought they could be a silhouette of the white and bloody box art cover (without the dragon). Lazily I used the splatter pattern in Clip to cover their silhouettes on their reverse sides.

Lastly, wanted to apologise for only providing a Ko-fi link. I'm trying to boost traffic there, so I won't have the google drive upload for now.

I need to put myself out there, and honestly, I don't know how to do that on tumblr. I'm okay with my tumblr just being a small blog that I'll treat more as a progress journal, while the professional sounding stuff can go to Ko-fi. I plan to make an insta this month, which I'm not 100% about doing. I've been working on pieces and designs, but I have no eyes on it. I have to market myself T_T so I'm awkwardly rolling up my sleeves and going for it. I'm going to be making some mistakes, which sucks, but thankfully I get so much shame out of every tiny misstep, which means I try to not do it so much.

Credits: · Shoutout to The Library of a Chantry Scholar for uploading the DA font "nogard", I can't find the name of the original designer. · DanaDuchy on Youtube for uploading party banter videos that I listened to for nostagia, and time tracking while I worked on these.
