Glade of the Northwind

Artist, consumer of tea & embracer of the mind. This is my own little sanctuary where I spam my art and share my ideas. You can check out the pages below to get an idea of what I'm mostly posting here! You may call me either Snow or Mieran.

Art Fight!

Hey guys! Sadly my activity on Tumblr is still non-existent, as I'm still figuring out life and my artistic journey. However! I'm just popping in to say that I'm participating in Art Fight this year as well! I've been more slow this time around, but hoping to pick it up soon. Maybe I'll see you there! Here's my profile if anyone is curious!

Something more art related. Here's a WIP of a drawing I'll use as an avatar for my NSFW BlueSky Account. For now you can find my regular BlueSky account here.

I'll probably delete this later, but I have joined the Veilguard Squad. ;;;))) For now, this is what my Rook looks like. Otun Aldwir, the Veil Jumper. So far it's pretty hilarious to see a Qunari hanging out with all these Veil Jumper elves, but he's a passionate nerd, so I guess they let him join for one reason or another.

(Now to just locate my Inquisitor somewhere in this game) (I'll probably not post much screenshots and stuff like this here, but I'm curious to see how Otun's design will translate into my art)

I went a bit crazy with the editing since it's a simple sketch, but I finally took the time to finish this doodle.

Just some post-Inquisition Dreshad Adaar where he clings onto his stoic golden mask until the end of Trespasser.

Unfinished Dreshad doodle from 2019 says hi.

Dragon Age is Coming Back!

Well, it has for a little while, but with the release of the recent trailers, it's making my brain go wild with Dragon Age thoughts again and how I miss drawing for this fandom.

I missed out on a lot during Dragon Age: Inquisition due to life, and lately I've been inactive with art here due to life and AI invading every single platform.

But I'm highly considering dedicating this art blog of mine to Dragon Age only for the time being, or just make a whole new profile maybe! I still miss my Inquisitor, Dreshad Adaar, and this older brother, Kavhir Adaar. And now with the new game coming up, there's gonna be a third addition to that gang.

Holy shit Dreshad is gonna be pretty aged when the new game comes out tho, isn't he? Depending on the timeline, of course.

Well, I am itching to try and draw more DA stuff and catch up with DA:I shenanigans until Fall this year.

I guess the biggest question is if I'll continue it all here or make a new blog.

[mieran-sanctuary]

Can confirm that I'm planning on making a separate Dragon Age blog where I'll post anything Dragon Age. Which basically means character info, texts, art and any DA shenanigans I can come up with.

Thinking of linking to it in a future text post once I have it established! and some more fresh art to accompany it!

It sounds like Tumblr is gonna start getting more into AI generated images in the near future, possibly making a deal with Midjourney.

Soo... welp! If that's the case, then I will probably end up not posting here at all to protect my future art from theft. I guess we'll have to see.

But if anyone wanna continue to follow my work, I now post more actively on my BlueSky profile!
