This is where I art | Games + Animals | Decim on AO3

[decimdraws]

Greetings! I'm compiling a small recommendation list of Cullen fics I've read and would love to include yours, 'Broken Song', 'Always Remember us this Way', and 'The Silver Lining'. I'm asking permission from authors before posting it just in case anyone would decline for any reason. I'm including links to the story, summaries, author's name, and a mature rating warning. I'm still new to proper tumblr etiquette and want to proceed with caution when mentioning others. Even if you refuse, thank you for your writing! May I proceed? c:

Thank you very much for wanting to include my fics, I’d be honored :) Thanks for asking and you may very much proceed!

Look what the splendiferous @decimdraws sent to me for my birthday. Now I have the coasters to match my mug! I have the very kindest and most thoughtful friends.

[decimdraws]

Glad you like them! Once I tweak the values on the laser we should sell them 😂

[decimdraws]

Happy birthday @kemvee !! Hope you have a good one!

[decimdraws]

You survived another year! I'm proud of you! I hope you're proud of yourself too. The world wouldn't be the same without you. Thank you for being here!🥰

I didn’t see this until now! 😳 What a lovely surprise 🥰 Thank you so much, I’m proud of you too! I wish you all the best things - moments of enjoyment big and small, kindness to yourself, and a peaceful mind 🍀

Never drew Solas before, so here he is twice! Continuing exploring art nouveau / Mucha-esque style.

[decimdraws]

Experimenting with laser engraving 😄 need to make adjustment to the lineart from the original, but I think I’m gonna enjoy this

[decimdraws]

My half of a long overdue art trade with the great paisleybees, her kickass and beautiful Inquisitor Aghavni Lavellan

[decimdraws]

Have a good 2023, everyone! Ending the year with an attempt at Cullen in style of Alphonse Mucha, practice for undisclosed super-secret project with @kemvee 🥸

I wasn’t feeling creative at all for most of 2022, but am looking forward to changing that in the next year. Stay tuned!

WIP Wednesday, and another Cullen I may never finish

[decimdraws]

I'm back to writing fanfic, y'all. Just posting this edited version of a piece I did forever ago, now serving as cover art. Check it out on AO3, if you're up for some feels. Always Remember Us This Way

Hasty footsteps echoed in the stone stairwell, hushing the murmurs of spells in the adjoining rooms. Curious faces gathered in the doorways, observing the cloaked stranger make her way to the top floor. Harding lowered her hood as she reached her destination and entered through a heavy, wooden door.

The First Enchanter looked up from her desk, grey eyes widening at the sight of the unexpected guest. "Lace…"

"I found him," the scout announced, "Val Chevin."

"Orlais?" The mage got up, quickly closing the distance between them. "Why would he —"

"He's… on the streets," Harding explained, "Begging for lyrium. He did not remember me, barely remembers himself. I'm sorry, Mira… the Cullen we knew is gone."

She watched her words land. Though Amira Trevelyan remained composed, Lace could see her heart breaking just that little bit more behind her misty irises. "I can go back," she offered. "Give him a swift end. It's the kinder thing to do."

Mira turned away. Silence reigned as the mage prepared herself for what lay ahead. When she looked back, chin lifted defiantly, any trace of sadness had gone.

"No," she said decidedly. "It doesn't end this way."

“… Hi. … Oh, nothing. Uhm… I just wanted to hear your voice.”

Quick thing to get myself out of my art funk, and late b-day gift for the lovely @kemvee ;)

[sinsbymanka]

@decimdraws gifted me this BEAUTIFUL art of Maria Cadash with seals and I am just blown away. Look how adorable they are!! Look how AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS she is! Her freckles!

THE SEALS LOOK AT THEM.

I think this has the...

[decimdraws]

I’m so glad you like it! 🥰 She was a joy to draw, I love her design, so happy and beautiful!

[decimdraws]

I see you in the tags, fellow horse folks ;) Thanks for making this series and reconnecting with my inner pony girl all the more fun!

Thedas People on Horseback series; entry Varric! Apparently he’s not a fan of horseback riding. Now, you may be tempted to put him on a pony. Nice and low to the ground... right?

Wrong!

Ponies are A-holes. Go watch a riding class with ponies — kids flying everywhere. But every stable has that horse; a bit older, kinda stiff, everyone knows him because they started out on him as a beginner. Won’t set a foot wrong, but break out a jump or take him to the beach and he’ll still liven up like there’s no tomorrow. Got a sense of humor too.

Any good horsemaster gives Varric that horse.

(Don’t come after me, I’m sure whichever pony you are thinking of is adorable!)

[decimdraws]

Do you do commissions?

Not at the moment, but thank you so much for the interest! I likely will in the (near) future and will make a post about it here once I do!

[decimdraws]

Is it WIP Wednesday? It's WIP Wednesday! Thanks @dismalzelenka!

Sorry I've been quiet, it's... been a month. Here's a WIP for Varric in the Thedas People on Horseback series. Don't go reblogging this one (unless you really want to) — he'll get better, I promise 😆. DO, however, tell me if these legs are appropriate dwarf length or if I went overboard. (Dwarf appreciative mutuals, @cartadwarfwithaheartofgold @blarfkey @fasterpuddytat, any thoughts?)
