I've been playing through the Dragon Age series for the first time! Here's my warden, Calina Tabris. I went in completely blind into DAO, and got my heart ripped out by the Alistair romance. I never "hardened" him before he became king since those choices didn't fit Calina's character. And she believed her people would be better off with him on the throne rather than just Anora. Now all I can think about is her holding on to that rose as it wilts like she did with her wedding ring. Ugh, DAO was so good and I can't wait to replay it once I'm done with the other games! I just finished Inquisition and intend to draw my other characters and romances from DA2 and DAI! It's been a fun time!
“i love krem because he’s from tevinter, was a soldier, got chewed up by the system anyway, and still ended up building a life where he gets to be himself and be respected for it”
“Iron Bull: i have a plan
Krem: no you don’t
Iron Bull: yes i do
Krem: i’m already writing the apology letter”
“trespasser giving him that shy little thing with maryden (the standing-on-the-chair detail kills me every time) is genuinely sweet, like he gets to have something soft in the middle of all the fighting”
vs. Nelaros
“Nelaros deserves votes for being one of the sweetest “origin-only” characters. He’s kind, he’s excited to meet you, and he steps up immediately when everything goes wrong.”
“nelaros is so memorable to me because he’s introduced as this “good match” from the highever alienage (handsome, skilled, people in the alienage are hyping him up) and then the plot immediately tests whether he’s all talk. he isn’t. when you get taken, he’s one of the people who refuses to sit there and hope it ends well; he helps organize the rescue and goes in anyway, even though he’s just some guy who should’ve been worrying about vows and dowries, not storming a human noble’s house. and the fact he can die there is such a cruel little origins detail”
“willingly risks his life and dies to save his fiancée whom he JUST MET. made their wedding ring BY HAND btw!”
I've mentioned once that Dragon Age City Elf Origin is my favourite prologue.
So, while I'm burried under ideas (I made another two since yesterday somebody stop me (no, please don't)) and didn't draw anything new, I would like to show you arts very old (ten years, wow) but still very dear to me.

Thanks for watching. And I hope you'll like it too)
After work Vi headed out to Krag's bar. Something felt different this time. Usually after a one night stand she'd never think twice about the person, but weirdly Vinnie had been on her mind all day.
She hadn't heard from him, or Val. She hoped that she hadn't ruined her friendship with Val, but is that really what she was worried about?
sorry but i can't get over how perfect nelaros is for tabris. he's not even from this alienage but he decides to besiege the arl of denerim's estate for his lady wife upon her being taken with other women from her alienage at his wedding... he MADE her their wedding ring with his own hands...
