Alistair was the first one she and Rascal met. He was carrying a bundle of what seemed to be fabric to the river, and almost dropped it when he saw them.

“Maker's breath, what happened!?”

“Darkspawn,” Astala said. “I'm-”

“Darkspawn!”

Alistair marched up to her with long strides. Astala’s muscles tensed almost involuntarily. Over Alistair’s approachable and sometimes goofy nature, it was hard to forget how tall and broad and human he was.

“Here!? Are they in the village? What were you thinking, taking them on alone?”

He was angry, he was frustrated. Astala found herself shrinking back.

“Please-”

“Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?” Alistair grabbed her shoulder.

Asala twisted out of his grasp and scrambled to get away from him. She dimly registered that she’d pulled her shoulders up to her ears, posture tense and ready to jump, and that Rascal was growling faintly at Alistair.

“Please,” she said quietly. “Stop shouting.”

The idea for this piece has been simmering in the back of my head and in some sketchbooks for YEARS, so I finally bit the bullet and actually painted it. It's also influenced by Paramore's song Misguided Ghosts, which has always been one of the main songs I associate with Mahariel. It fits the Dalish Warden Origin so well. 💙

Commander Lady Cousland, of the Grey Wardens of Ferelden, and her loyal mabari, at the coasts of Highever with the castle on the background.

Finished is better than perfect, so here we are. I hope you guys like it! The castle is based on Il castello di Bentheim by Jacob Van Ruisdael.

The Veilguard era Morrigan, Kieran & Farron Mahariel feat. Barkspawn the Mabari & Twigs the Snake <3

I like to imagine Morrigan is the one who founded the Veil Jumper or is at least one of them hehe

Details below if you're interested:

Farron & Morrigan have matching nails Kieran & Morrigan have matching eyeshadows! This family slays too much lmao

Also, I included Farron patterns/palette into Kieran's outfit, they share stances too haha Gods I love these three too much help

And yes, I gave my rogue Mahariel a snake pet! Twigs is venomous, and he keeps that poison in his ring just in case hehe Serpentine designs are part of Sylaise's visual identity. His daggers (Tamlen's) are snake shaped, his belt buckle too. etc. (2022 art)

PS. As I'm still very new here, I thought I would share some of my favourite artworks from before I joined Tumblr again, I hope you'll enjoy them!

AU: The young templar cullen never quite recovered from his ordeal. After months of attempting to convince his superiors that the tower was still a danger, he finally snapped and killed three apprentices before being stopped by his fellow templars. Eventually, Cullen escaped from prison, a madman and a threat to any mage he encountered.

Astala turned this way and that, wandering uselessly between the low bushes and trees that grew down the hill. A root snagged her boot. Branches swooshed overhead, and once a rustling to her right made her jump back a good six feet from where she had been standing.

She didn't like this. She didn't like this at all.
