Posting art to tumblr after 7 years is crazy work but here I am. I thought it would be a great place to write down my additional thoughts with my work that don’t specifically come across in the art itself. So why not start with Dragon Age Inquisition art??
I know many share the opinion that it sucks that you can’t make your own custom outfit for the Winter Palace Ball. I really wanted to try my hand at drawing what Mirevas, my Inquisitor, would choose to wear. She's not a flashy woman, but she does believe in observing the customs of other nations. She's also very well aware of how people in Orelais view and treat Elves, especially Dalish elves, so I wanted to have her wear something that made a very traditional statement.
The outfit itself is based off of the artwork of Orlesian noblewomen in the DAI art book, but the Dalish twists come with the mask being the Dalish emblem, the colour scheme and the skirt having a pattern that was inspired by Elvish mosaics.
I also wanted her to have the skirt rip off so, should she need to jump to action, she wasn't hindered much by so much fabric. It also allows for a concealed carry to fight with. She's more a fan of massive hammers and swords, but a dagger would do in a pinch!
