Dear BW store - why so little women's apparel? - BioWare Merchandise

Dear BW store - why so little women’s apparel? - posted in BioWare Merchandise: Now probably somebody is going to tell me: because supply & demand?. I have no idea about your gender & size statistics, surely the BW store gathers data from their customer database. Id be really curious to know more about that, I mean is it really that female customers are so few? Or is it rather that the BW store *thinks* that they are.   I regularly browse through the store now and then, Im…

If you feel like I do, clap your hands in the air.

You have an interesting voice. There’s something in the timbre, the pitch, the rhythm and roll of your words that makes other people pause and take notice. You’ve got that golden throat, that silver tongue, that prized platopharyngeal arch—and we want to hear it.

Starting at 12:01 p.m. PST on February 25, 2014, we’re offering you a chance to Take Your Place in the Inquisition by lending your voice to a character in the next Dragon Age game.

Amazing

Dragon Age/Mass Effect Mash-up (AU Cross Over)

In an alternate universe Alistair tries to give fellow Grey Warden “Jane Shepard” a gift - how do you think Shepard will react? Watch the video to find out! :)

[mimitochan]

Very nicely done! Woah, I can’t imagine the time you spent to do this - it’s so strange (in a nice way) to hear someone answering Alistair back. Nice Jane Shepard too! So many femShep lines I don’t even know where they come from!

[lunexis3]

Thank you! I admit this has been sitting in my hard drive a while -  I was hoping to create a bit more of a series around this but my original idea seems to have lost a little steam, sadly. I am happy you enjoyed it and I am glad I finally shared it. :)

[letsplaydragonage]

I also really liked the one you did with Alistair and Leliana's banter about Zevran - it's like a little extra added to the game while still staying true to the original content. I wonder if it could be possible to create mods to actually add those scenes in-game - some of those companion banters are really fun and add to the characters. I've only scratched the surface of the DA toolset but I just find that so very cool that you can actually use faceFX on models, I mean that they would let us do that! I know that those things can take a LOT of time to complete sometimes, so again, great job :D

"Did he have a little sword, or just his claws? I bet he had a dashing cap with a feather in it!"

"Would you stop making fun of my cat?"

Cats are like the most difficult animals to draw. The amount and designs of the kittens changed a lot during the sketching and I was glad when I finally managed to illustrate a decent looking feline baby…..

Fenris the free elf.

To steal a music term, the hook of a song is that thing that, well, hooks you in and makes you wanna remember the song.  So how does that pertain to design you ask?  Well early on in the DA:I project I decided to treat the appeal of the characters I designed not through the eye of the beholder, compiling massive reference sheet of beautiful people and picking features I found appealing. Instead I decided to look through the lens of the narrative, and find their hook.  I just found beauty too subjective, too mushy too, too, well lets just say I didn’t find it adequate.  Luckily for me a lot of the talented people at Bioware believe in narrative so it wasn’t a hard sell to change the thinking and discussion away from “do I like what that looks like” to “does that visually say what we want”.

In the above example of Cassandra. Her hook is her power and authority.  So then the trick was merely to use visual language to tell that story.  I no longer had to justify what I thought was attractive.  Her face became all about her aggression.  Through the angle of her facial structure to the angle of her ears. It all became about giving her a strong aggressive forward visual flow.

Working beside this man for the last couple of years has been a highlight of my career. His insights, creativity and artistic integrity have been such an inspiration. He takes this approach to everything he does and his influence permeates Inquisition. Edit: and I should add, EVERY party member and many key NPC’s have received this treatment and I believe the results speak for themselves.

While looking for Florence & the Machines’ I’m not calling you a liar, I just found out that the DA/DA2 soundtracks are available on Spotify.

OK bye. (The DA2 version isn’t available there though. OK bye for real.)

Have a Varric and Vivenne comic, y’all
