Ok but has anyone talked about how when Maggie says "I love you, Alex Danvers", it's really timid and she seems terrified to admit that (b/c lets be honest that poor girl is probably traumatized from getting too attached to people then have her heart broken over and over) but once it's out of her mouth and Alex asks, "Yeah?" her answering "Yeah" is like a flood of relief and reassurance all at the same time and it almost explodes out of her and you can tell she's terrified/overjoyed all at once.

It’s actually so cute, cause you see the expectation after the i love you and the tilt of the head after the yeah.Yep is too much, adorable overload.

I don't understand how his face is that pale in the game files. The arms and chest portions on the side look correct, but even looking at screen caps of the game to see if I was misremembering, I can't find any where he's that shade. Of course, his skin tone does vary a lot based on lighting, but even at its palest, the undertones always seemed to suggest he was a brown man who hadn't gotten much sun in a while. There are scenes where default!Hawke gets close to him in shade, but his undertones look more like a white man with a farmer's tan. Is it possible that there's a missing layer in those resources, given that he's missing his forehead tattoos, or that they're pulled from a scene with The Pearl-quality lighting? Either way, I agree that artists are over-criticized, but I personally just only reblog art where Fenris looks no lighter than what makes sense for the piece's lighting, and I base that on his appearance in game. I wouldn't reblog something where his face looked like that reference photo, because even if a spotlight were shining on him, it doesn't look correct when compared to even the pallor given by lighting in Sundermount. Also, it's worth noting that all the DA2 elves are paler than they should be due to the decision to add blue and green tones to them to make them look even more different from humans. There's a nexus mod that gives all the elves their Origins skin color or just the closest human color from DA2, and Fenris is more noticeably brown, but he doesn't look that much darker than he does in certain scenes of the base game. Overall, though, I think people should keep in mind that brown skin can look significantly lighter depending on long-term sun exposure and that they should compare depictions to the original game before deciding something isn't accurate, especially if they plan on saying something about it. The worst examples of whitewashing in this fandom tend to come from the games themselves, after all. We don't need to jump down independent artist's throats for using references on the fairer side of a character's appearances when Bioware continues to do things like the drastic lightening of Cassandra's skin tone between DA2 and Inquisition.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and well worded response!

(I'm so sorry I can't respond in kind!)

I am totally not qualified to explain anything, really. I only know that lighting can make a huge difference, that at least I can base on my own experience with making pictures.

I have zero knowledge about how they manage lighting in the game, but from my experiences with XPS, the effect can be drastic.

ugh, sorry, I'm not in the right mood to improvise and experiment...

Also, Fenris wasn't supposed to have the three dots tattooed on his forehead, that was only my addition, based on that markings concept art

To be honest, when I dug out the original model's (the one I based my version on) files I was surprised, as I too can't remember Fenris ever looking this pale, which is why I specifically mentioned that I believe these are the original textures, and that's because I trust the guy who shared those models. He simply extracted what was there.

It's totally up to you what kind of fanart you reblog, your reasons are your own. Me, I tend to pay more attention to the overall feel of a piece, and I won't deny that it's my top priority. Some of my choices could be seen as problematic, I guess.

Anyway, I just wanted to remind everyone how this holy war began in the first place, and maybe push them to take a fresh look at it and hopefully ease the tension, if even a little.

lighting can affect character perception for sure, but it doesn't seem to affect anyone else much? Compare: Varric, Anders, Aveline, Isabela,Sebastian, Carver.

To the girl who has said her boyfriend cannot make her climax, I have always found that by saying. I like it when you do this. Or positive reinforcement, like when he does something you REALLY enjoy, do something he really enjoys (for example if he does something that turns you on, and he gets turned on my back scratching then scratch down his back?) He's going to thing, oh she likes that, and your going to get what you want :) Win win. and that way there's no embarrassment for him.
