The Iron Bull from Dragon Age Inquisition

"Leader of the Chargers (a mercenary group) and member of the Ben-Hassrath (Qunari spies, enforcers, and secret police). Despite (or because of) his overly friendly demeanor and carousing, he is an accomplished spy. Though he still reports to his old masters, time spent "going native" outside the Qun led to something of an identity crisis for him - one that can end very differently depending on player input."

The Triumph of Mordecai

Jean François de Troy French

ca. 1736

"In 1736 de Troy undertook seven enormous preparatory designs for tapestries representing the Old Testament story of Esther that were woven at the Gobelins tapestry manufactory. A significant amount of history painters’ commissions came from tapestries, which were considered of suitable scale and prestige for such subjects. This preliminary oil sketch for one of de Troy’s Esther series depicts her kinsman and adoptive father, Mordecai, riding triumphantly through the streets of Susa (present-day Iran). The costumes were doubly imaginary, as de Troy interpreted and exoticized both historical and Middle Eastern dress. Having worked out the figures’ relationships at this reduced size, he later painted a full-scale model (1738–39; Musée du Louvre, Paris) before the first tapestries were woven between 1741 and 1744."

Putting on that jogger right away.

Always nice to get some unexpected change on a walk through the woods. Jamie hit this guy in full motion as he jogged passed us, grabbing him to prevent falling. You don't want any scretchmarks, don't you?

After waiting for him to hollow out, casually chatting, he undressed both the empty guy along with himself before he slipped in like it is the most normal thing. For us, though, it kinda is.

"Feels nice" he just commented as he pulled up those lycra pants, catching a kiss before we continued our walk...
