#oc: dane tabris

while im out here posting my da art (mortifying experience) might as well post more old stuff that's just sitting in my folders.

canon worldstate asks for dane: 4, 13, 15, and 25!

Questions from this post!

4 - attitude towards Andrastianism?

Dane is Andrastian, its how he was raised. He's never been a fan of the chantry but he has no reason not to believe in the Maker or Andraste. But growing up that belief was more 'well of course the maker is out there, that's what everyone says'.

It wasn't until he found Andraste's actual ashes that he holds any serious reverence and belief however. Hard not to after going trough all those gauntlets and then having these ashes actually cure some guy.

13 - their thoughts on the Grey Warden order?

Dane is deeply committed to the cause, but doesn't expect others to be. He let's Anders go and doesn't send after him even after he knows where he is. He looks for the cure not for himself, but for those who might wish to leave near the end of their service.

The Wardens are a respectable order, who do what they must to keep the peace. He doesn't condone everything Wardens have done - he's still upset about the events that conspired in his absence in Orlais. But Dane beliefs the Wardens, largely, have been a force of good.

15 - preferred weapon of choice?

As a rogue, Dane is adept with both the bow and the daggers. Though Dane prefers the daggers because of the thrill it gives him to slice someone open and deftly roll away to kill the next. (He's deep down a bit of a freak, but he's doing a great job of directing that murderous intent at darkspawn and not real people).

25 - what did they plan for their life to look like before the events of the game happened?

Dane was forcing himself to be content with the life that was laid out for him. Marry a girl he felt no attraction for, have a couple of kids. Hide the fact that he's trained with the blades. Be normal.

Let's just say he's glad with the new direction his life took.

Thank you for the ask Kellan, ilu 💙💙💙

More oc fact swapping i see? 👀

I’d like to hear about your DA ocs as well so here is smth about my warden:

the Archdemon ripped open Dane Tabris’ throat in the middle of the final blow. Luckily he had a mage capable of healing on hand so he lived, but he’s rendered effectively mute and has trouble breathing or swallowing sometimes.

(he can technically make noise and speak still, it is just fucking agonising so he doesn��t.)

god thats brutal. but honestly, i support the decision - the warden probably SHOULD walk away from the archdemon fight with some sort of terrible injury.

oc fun fact about my warden, ren amell: he was a blood mage before he even left the circle tower, he just wasn't stupid enough to talk to uldred about it.

Bi alistair... you will always be real to me.

[idlenight-art]

here to push my HoF x Carver agenda. you can't stop me.

Its all fun and games being the Warden-Commander of Ferelden and Arl of Amaranthine.... Till you have to sit trough hours long meetings with the local nobles.

(why does Carver have to suffer trough this meeting too? Well he's the Commander's boyfriend right-hand man, and sign-language translator for the nobles ofc.)

[ as inspired by this tweet ]

Dane Tabris, Warden Commander, Hero of Ferelden.

I started this project..... end of april of this year. With all the da4 news I decided it was time to power on trough the last outfit I was working on - which was also the most complicated, cuz I did all the fucking layers separately to understand how the outfit works.

The first picture is his gear transformation during origins (recruitment/ostagar -> during the blight -> landsmeet/final battle). the other two are his Warden-Commander gear from Awakening onward. He doesn't change it up much after that.

A little personal project to visualise some dragon age origin kids alongside their parents.

If you noticed the difference in quality that would be because I made them months apart of each other. And on different canvas sizes. Because consistency is dead I guess.

More on the kids themselves below the cut: (it is just me yapping about my blorbo's)

Firstly there is my oc kid Duncan Bryce Theirin, son of King Alistair and Queen Gwendelyn Cousland.

Gwen isn't a warden in my canon, nor did she romance Alistair. Instead she is romantically involved with my Surana (also a non-warden). Alistair and Gwendolyn are great friends though, and they got necessarily involved enough to have an heir, a son they both love dearly.

Duncan would be born a year or so after Origins, in 9:32 dragon. Being the only heir to the throne resulted in being raised somewhat sheltered for his safety. He's a curious kid but ultimately shy, though he's well trained enough by his tutors to be able to put up a front of confidence in court. While trained as a warrior like his father, Duncan prefers the bow, he also enjoys horseback riding.

Kieran Adai Tabris is my own spin on canon-kieran. The son of Morrigan and the Hero of Ferelden, Dane Tabris. Born with the soul of an Old God. He is a mage and shapeshifter.

I refuse to believe a Morrigan that had a very good relationship with a non-romanced warden would not at least let him meet his own child. So Dane, while not responsible for fully raising him, spends a good amount of time with Kieran throughout his son's life.

As a child this Kieran still says equally weird shit as canon-OGB Kieran, except this one does it at high volumes. Can be seen playing swords or running around on his own two legs when he isn't doing so in animal form (his favored shape is that of a mabari).

As an adult, Kieran will identify as agender. Going by he/they/it pronouns, and begins identifying with the 'Witch of the Wilds' moniker that its mother is also labeled as.

There's a slim chance you've seen the original Dane in a similar post. I've since updated his design, and have edited the original file to match. So I'm posting Warden-Commander Dane Tabris outfit progression/line-ups once more!

Outfit details under the cut.

First image his hist gear progression trough Origins. Going from recruit -> kit-bashed gear during travels -> landsmeet + final battle.

Second image is Dane's full Warden-Commander/Arl of Amaranthine gear, including circlet, cape, and weapons.

Last image is a breakdown of his Warden-Commander outfit, showing the layers and how they work. This was mostly for my own benefit/sanity.

WIP Wednesday

Tagged back by @cigarettesandinevitablebetrayal for this. [you can find his wip post here]

Tagging @heartbreakincident, @groan-taire, @swordtit, and @swordsandspectacles. (and you, the reader🫵)

You're right cig's i do indeed have some wips lying around.

I am neck deep into my custom DA worldstate, and specifically my twins Dane and Mirevas. So here are the sketches I have of them rn.

Pictured left is a rough (no dialogue) for a little Dane and Carver comic I was toying around with. On the right is a fullbody of my inquisitor Mirevas, which will be the base for an outfit spread I want to do with him.

[idlenight-art]

the Tabris twins trough the ages.

Dane Tabris (left) and Calen Tabris - later known as Mirevas Lavellan - (right) as kids(10), during origins(19), and after trespasser(33).

I have a lot of feelings about these two, but I won't word vomit right now. you shall be spared this time.

[zoneofsmites]

a few days ago I decided on a whim that my Inquisitor and Warden were twins. You can imagine the anguish I am now dealing with managing both of their designs.
