ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: @harumeau
What do you like or find compelling about Solas’ character?
I started DA:I thinking “lol what a weird bald dude.” By the end of the game I was utterly devastated as he broke my heart and betrayed me. I’ve never really recovered. The depth of his character fascinates me. I love the tragedy in his conviction to do what he believes is right, even if it means the end of the world. He’s passionate about ending oppression. He’s compassionate, loves learning, and cares for his friends, even if he seems aloof and distant at first. He’s one of the most well written, complex villains I’ve ever seen in any media. He’s been an inspiration since my first playthrough and he’s one of my all time favorite characters. Plus he’s a mythical wolf god disguised as a nerdy mage with a sexy voice, so…I rest my case.
What do you think is going to happen in DA4?
We’ll have to fight the Evanuris because they’re all corrupted and blighted. It will have something to do with red lyrium. At least, that’s something I’d like to see. Scary monster mage gods, please!
What do you love about being a writer/artist/comic artist?
I enjoy drawing characters in a way that portrays their emotions. I want people to connect with them and maybe get some joy out of it (or pain, angsty art can be fun too). If someone tells me I made them feel something with my work then I’ve done my job right. Also art is pretty and I like making pretty things!
Link us/share with us one piece you want to show off (link to finished art/fic) and tell us why it’s special to you
This was a quick fluffy comfort piece I did during a stressful time earlier this year and I love how it came out.
