My buddy @littlebreadroll / @littlebreadrollart came up with that one word caption. made me stop and take a breath for some reason. Anyway CREATURE for me
Rating: Explicit
Content Warnings: Major character death, rape/noncon, graphic depictions of violence
Fandom(s): Dragon Age 2
Major Pairing(s)/Character(s): Fenris/Anders, Fenris/Anders/Hawke
Hawke needs control over everything in their life. When Fenris and Anders don't play along, Hawke has to destroy them both to keep their reputation. But broken pieces are good at finding new ways to fit together.

The Collaboration period has begun! In these quiet months before works are due, we want to foster a sense of excitement, camaraderie, and celebration among our participants. To that end, all participants were given the option of a formal interview by our mod, Dema, or an informal “ask-game” survey. We hope you enjoy getting to know our phenomenal creators as much as we have!
Interview with Dev
Dev and Dema talk horror media, the Deep Roads, and too many eyes (or: can there every be too many eyes?)
Dema: Is this your first time participating in a Big Bang as an artist?
Dev: It is! I've participated in some zine events in the past, but only as a writer. I'm very excited to be an artist this time around.
Dema: What inspired you to join?
Dev: I've been a fan of Dragon Age for a long time, but wasn't really sure how to join in the fan community. Things have been a lot more active recently since Veilguard is coming soon (finally), so I thought 'It's now or never! Might as well go big or go home.'
Dema: When you do a collaboration like this, what is your process like? How do you start?
Dev: I usually start by reading the prompt and seeing what comes to mind, and then talking with my partner about their vision for the piece. As an artist in particular, I feel like my best inspiration comes from the passion other people have for their projects, so it's important to me that what I settle on is both something I want to draw and something the writer really wants to see! From there, I sketch a few thumbnails on paper before I really sit down to work digitally. I like to take my own reference photos, so my roommate puts up with a lot of unusual posing requests.
Dema: Oh I love that, having your own references is so valuable. Besides the source itself, is there anything else inspiring you a lot right now?
Dev: I'm a big fan of horror media in general, so I'm always being inspired by that. Anything that leaves the impression of being slightly wrong or off is always a great piece in my opinion--the kind of thing that lingers in your brainspace. I'm reading a lot of korean webnovels lately too, so I've been invested in their flair for the dramatic. But ultimately, I'm inspired by the idea of trying something new.
Dema: Dragon Age has a lot of horror elements, but is there a particular game in the franchise, or theme, or even a moment in DA that scratches that itch the most for you?
Dev: I started with Dragon Age: Origins, and it'll always have a special place in my heart. I think the moment I fell in love with it was actually Branka's Deep Roads quest--walking through the pulp-filled hallways while that poem is being recited still sends shivers down my spine! I know it's a bit controversial among fans because they're such a slog at times, but the Deep Roads are my favorite part of any DA game.
Dema: What do you think will be the greatest challenge for this piece you're working on for the bang? Without giving away too much 😉
Dev: Definitely the expressions. I picked a really visceral moment in the fic, both physically and emotionally, so I hope that the finished result gets the right feelings across. They say eyes are the windows to the soul, after all!
Dema: Do you consider yourself primarily a portrait artist?
Dev: I would say more character artist than portrait, since I feel like the entire body pose works to communicate a figure's personality and emotions. But eyes are definitely my favorite part of drawing. So much so that I often find excuses to add extras 😂
Dema: Hahaha does this mean you love the Dread Wolf iconography?
Dev: I do! I admit, I wasn't much of a Solas fan when I first played Inquisition. But the Dread Wolf designs have really grown on me.
Dema: When did you first play it? Did you play them as they came out?
Dev: I wish! I didn't even play DA:O until 2017, my sophmore year of college. My boyfriend at the time introduced me to it, but before then I wasn't much of a video game player at all. You could say that Dragon Age really changed my view on how fun it could be to play video games. I spent a few years being obsessed with Origins and Awakenings, but after that I played DA2 and Inquisition right in a row.
Dema: What is the most fun aspect of the games, in your opinion?
Dev: The lore, hands down. I'm the type of player that reads every scrap of paper and book I get my hands on. But more than just learning about Thedas, I like to use that information to change how my character interacts with the world. It's also really fun to read other people's theories.
Dema: Do you have a favorite OC you've created?
Dev: I think our first is always special to us. I began with my Warden, Sigilla, as a casteless dwarf. I went in blind with her, so I really felt like we were both discovering the world at the same time. But my Inquisitor is a close second!
Dema: When did you first make art for Dragon Age? Why did you start?
Dev: I started out with little napkin doodles back when I was first playing Origins. They were just to pass time so I didn't end up keeping most of them, but I started because I was absolutely obsessed with Alistair. I just drew his goofy little face everywhere!
Dema: Is he your favorite companion/romance?
Dev: Yes, he is. Every time I replay DA:O I tell myself I'm going to make different choices, but I just can't bear to break his himbo heart. Tell me that when he pulls out that rose you could look him in the eye and turn him down!
Dema: Last question: are you art-ing today? If so, is there anything you'll use to help you get into the zone?
Dev: I am! When I draw, I like to make sure my space is really clean so I don't have any distractions. Usually I just keep my sketches out, and I'll listen to a podcast or random youtube videos and let the white noise keep my thinking brain occupied so I can really go at it. Right now I'm on my 4th listen of the Magnus Archives--it may be spooky, but there's just something about a vaguely British man reciting horrors in a deadpan tone that's really relaxing.
Dema: Oh, I think those are great vibes. I hope you have a wonderful drawing session! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to be interviewed.
Dev: Of course! It was great to talk to you. I'm really excited to be a part of this project, and I hope that everyone who reads the fic I'm paired with enjoys it! It's inspired me a lot.
