some very good character icons i made for that ship meme thing

[feeshies]

character design is my passion

[feeshies]

i realized i gave luca and talassan the same birthday ;;-;;

[feeshies]

thought i’d fuck around with that height comparison thing again

npcs | inquisitors | hawkes | wardens

couldn’t fit kozda on the warden one, but her height is right between mirynn’s and zaryn’s

[feeshies]

If you could do personalized fade scenes for all your wardens what would their fade scenes be? (This also goes for the fade for Hawke and inky in terms of their games fade sequence of course)

ooh!  i like this!  i think i made an old post about this a while back, so i’l paste them here (+edits/updates if needed)

shava: she’s at a limp bizkit concert and she has backstage passes  she’s back in denerim.  the noble who killed her mother is behind the door.  the warden has to convince her to suppress her desire for revenge and come with them.

talassan: he was able to return to his clan with luca.  he knows he’s in the fade, but he wants to stay in a world where his son isn’t tranquil.

joyce: she also knows she’s in the fade.  she’s having tea with the desire demon her father made a deal with.  after asking the demon to tell her dad she said hi, she willingly leaves.

mirynn: she managed to bring her mother and sister with her to the surface and she made a good life for them. she doesn’t believe she’s in the fade.  she only realizes it when her mother tells her not to do.

zaryn:  they’re back in orzammar, trying to sleep in their old bed.  maybe they took the sloth demon thing a bit too literally.  they sleeps through the first half of the dwarf noble origin.  their father storms in to yell at them, but he’s actually a demon. zaryn says “It’s like one of my japanese animes!” after killing him then leaves

natascha: she is queen.  you may be asking, why was she considered for the throne?  she says “don’t worry about it lol”.  she lives up to her parents’ legacy by getting assassinated.  as she’s dying, she manages to escape the demon’s hold.

kozda: she’s ruling orzammar as her queen.  she’s married to gorim and everyone’s cool with that.  suddenly, bhelen shows up and memories of being exiled begin to invade her mind, shattering the illusion.  she is forced to kill the demon that took the form of gorim.

~just fear demon things~

Mihika: “That top was an interesting choice”  [The fear demon actually doesn’t say anything.  He just sighs.  It freaks her tf out]

Akaas: “Your mother could have left you on that shore, but she didn’t.  Yet, you were so eager to leave her side to play hero.  Do you miss her?  Because the longer you’re here, the more she’s forgetting how to.”

Iris: “Do you think your Inquisition would still follow you if they know where you really came from, Iris?  Are you foolish enough to think you can make up for what he has done?  I can see his legacy in each spell you cast.”

Vekel: “Isn’t it funny how, once again, you’re trapped with an enemy you have no hope of defeating?  Are you going to run away again?”

Otho: “Neither the insignia you wear nor the rhetoric you spit can conceal your blood.  You will never be one - and they know it.”

Sumal: “Vinek kathas, Saarebas!”

[feeshies]

my da ocs explained badly

ahmose: in other verses he’s a real character.  in thedas he’s the rebound guy for a girl who got dumped by a god.

akaas: “if you’re not on the list, i can’t let you in” *bouncer-tosses demon back into the fade*

aliz: the living embodiment of 7 rings by ariana grande crossed with a millionaire quotes instagram page and blood magic.

aminah: “you can’t stop the templars from striking you down during your harrowing, but you know what you can control?  bad fashion.  that’s why this harrowing is brought to you by stitch fix.”

david: mr rogers, if he was a depressed wizard.

hali: turns out that adopting a 7 ft tall teenage apostate would make your life more complicated

iris: one of quentin’s only good creations.  also bats.

joyce: quentin’s other only good creation.  also rats.

kozda: once upon a time there was a princess who was very pretty and everyone loved her and nothing bad happened to her ever.  the end.

lena: *sobs in lesbian* *sobs in horse girl* *sobs in mage*

luca: even after his mind gets wiped, he still holds the only brain cell out of his group of friends.

marcus: *smiles down fondly at a framed photograph in his hand* *it’s a photo of him*

marjorie: chaotic stupid frenchwoman dressed as a clown who solves everyone’s problem but only by accident

mihika: used to be an anxious wreck in love with a god, but then she learned self love and now she has a beach house with her new man

mirynn: you seemed sad on facebook.  now she’s at your front door with soup and cookies.  please let her in.

natascha: claims she has a thing for “bad boys”, but really she has a thing for “the worst boys”

otho: my own creation copyright me don’t steel 100% original

shava: a freak explosion occurred at a spencer’s gifts and this is what climbed out

sorrel: even the amount of cigarettes she smokes won’t soften her heart

sumal: let’s hope most orlesian nobles can’t understand sign language or else they’d be very upset with her

talassan: your new dad and he’s inviting you to a backyard barbecue after he’s done dismantling the church

uaine: "i didn’t know how to tell you what i truly felt for you.  so i went into the woods and took down this bear with my own hands in your honor.  so...i’ll pick you up at 7?”

vekel: that scene from the simpsons where sideshow bob keeps stepping on rakes, but it’s his entire life.

vevari: *lounging on a beach in antiva* *veil explodes* *lowers sunglasses* “huh, glad that’s not my problem”

zaryn: *naruto-runs into the deep roads* “the darkspawn can’t touch me!  not when i have the power of the stone and anime on my side!”

some dumb portraits

[feeshies]

the ships are all here

[feeshies]

me making talassan in the character creator, forgetting that i can’t draw: yes, i will choose this vallaslin.  i will not regret this

[feeshies]

i have an alternate version of talassan’s camp/casual look, but i decided to scrap it because i didn’t think it would make sense for him to be hanging out topless in the ferelden swamps

finished wardrobe

[feeshies]

Brother Genitivi: you found the urn? I must share this with the world! Everyone should have the privilege of seeing andraste’s ashes!

Talassan, who just dumped a bucket of blood into the urn to get some sick dragon powers: so here’s the thing...

[feeshies]

i wanted to ramble about my ocs’ musical talent

not all of these are canon to the dragon age universe

aminah: doesn’t play any instruments.  claims to be a good singer, but only in the context of karaoke.

david: plays guitar (mostly blues).  also a very good singer.

iris: she can play the organ and the waterphone.  not at the same time.  maybe if she’s feeling it.

joyce: electric harp.  surprisingly good singer.

luca: played violin since he was a kid.  after he becomes tranquil, he starts experimenting with the effects exposure to raw lyrium can have on music.  he invents dubstep.

marjorie: harpsichord, but she gave up because she got sick of sitting down to play it.

mihika: drums, specifically the dholak.  she likes to be able to move around and dance while she plays.

shava: electric guitar with lots of distortion.

sorrel: had to play piano since she could sit upright.  she’s actually really good, but out of practice.

sumal: she learned to love the marimba.  she has no rhythm, but she loves making noise.

talassan:  drum.  big drum.  one big drum.

vekel: drumset.  many drums of various sizes.

vevari: sampler, midi keyboard

zaryn: synthesizer, keytar
