Opening my commissions, get em while they're fresh

I honestly can’t believe werewolves were introduced in the very first game of Dragon Age and we’ve never had a werewolf companion since. Absolutely missed opportunity. I know being possessed by a hunger demon isn’t exactly stylish but come on

Nooo Ru Lavellan don’t dislike Sasha! He brought a FRUIT BASKET 🥲

Honestly I would love to hear more about the opinions each of your characters has on others

oh good, ive been looking for an excuse to long post about my pcs. You've opened a whole can of worms, anon (also peep the younger inquisition era Ru)

Ru personally dislikes Sasha because she sees him as a very hedonistic and selfish person for not helping out the inquisition to pursue his own interests instead. She’s the type to feel that heroes have no retirement age, and that you have an obligation to save the world if it’s within your power. She felt similarly about Hawke to a lesser extent, right up until he sacrificed himself in the fade. Then it was all guilt and regret for the man. Overall, she likes reliable and disciplined people who can take charge, which is why Rook is her favorite. She sees him as her protégé. Though she does feel guilty having put the responsibilities of her mess onto him.

Sasha doesn’t dislike people unless they’ve personally offended him, so he has a pretty neutral to positive view on the other pcs. He doesn’t care as much for authority or leadership as Ru does but rather he respects raw power and feats; he’s kinda surface level like that. Ru is his good books for being a cool dragon slayer lol. He’s particularly impressed by Hawke’s work for the magi rebellion too. And Rook is his son, so even if Imekari fucked up and ended the world Sasha would love him regardless, even if he is a mediocre parent at best.

Hawke really just wants to separate himself from the whole heroes of Thedas business entirely. Like he respects it from a distance but is done with the whole ordeal. It’s part of why he’s so admiring of Sasha, who does whatever he wants really despite everyone’s expectation of him. He’s very impressed of Sasha’s lightheartedness and free spirit in general. Though Ru is the exact opposite of that, Hawke still approves of her because she reminds him of himself early in his career, but he also finds her somewhat forceful and intimidating. They have a very sibling like bond. Lastly, Hawke’s dislike of Rook is entirely personal and irrational; he blames him for Varric’s death.

Rook (Imekari) judges the others by their value to him as a mentor. So he doesn’t respect Hawke very much, though he does feel guilty for Varric. It’s just hard for him to face Hawke in general. He looks up to and is closest with Ru because despite Sasha being his literal father, Ru has been the most present one in instructing and guiding him. Sasha gave him a roof and the means to survive, but was neglectful in many other ways. Imekari doesn’t hold too much of a grudge over it, but still distances himself from his father, seeing him more as a figurehead and a legacy.

I love Sasha surana so much oh my my god you have no idea. Like I do love all of your DA OCs, they feel so fresh and fun but I would die for Sasha surana

I was not planning to draw Sasha today but this ask made me so happy that it changed the trajectory of my night :) thank you

Hawke and HoF canonically being similar in age always throws me off when I think about it. The chronological order of dao and da2 is so interesting because technically the two protagonists began their stories around the same time, but HoF accomplished (arguably) much more than Hawke in a year than Hawke could in seven. The complex I would have if I was Hawke and a peer of mine did allat…. Personally my Hawke glorifies HoF and sees him as a legend, and knowing he’s probably older than him makes me giggle

Someone just posted a photo of a lynching in the comments section of my tiktok about gay cowboys where one happened to be black. Im so tired.

Same fella also went to another one of my posts about anti-imperialism and called it liberal propaganda 🫩

What trio is this?

[blearyfog]

Unintentionally the only times I’ve drawn Anders happy or in a joyful setting, most if not all of his face is obscured. And if that isn’t the most telling thing about his character…

[blearyfog]

Honestly so tired of the whole “characters written by men vs characters written by women” trend. Just another pointless gender war that accomplishes nothing. Ive seen so many tiktoks cherry pick the worst examples to make one side look clearly better while reducing the notable accomplishments of the former.

Sure it’ll always be easier to write from a place of personal experience, but any good writer should be able to write beyond that and create characters that have lived totally different lives from their own. How can you expect diversity in writing while strengthening the idea people can’t write identities outside of their own well? Trying to push the narrative men can’t write women or that women can’t write men is just so discouraging to see.

[blearyfog]

Uhmm do any other artists have a problem where their drawing arm goes numb/prickly when drawing too long? I think my shoulder is out of whack so I’d appreciate advice for dealing with that 🥲
