the fact that severan was a rivaini mage and court advisor to king meghren during orlais' occupation of fereldan and volunteered for the position to escape templar control should be talked about more, me thinks, in relation to vivienne being a rivaini mage and court advisor to empress celene to escape the rigid power structure of the circle. idk just thinking about them atm

My June of elves continues with this piece I made of my cat-elf librarian Mizane having a day off from work as the head librarian and basically the sole worker of the Sudensurman solan sivukirjasto. He got so excited to have a stroll around the city with his new friend Severan (whose first meeting of Mizane is depicted in that other Mizane piece from a few years ago xD) he put on his best gear to show around town. And of course he gets distracted by books : D I would love to make a real comic about these lovely cat-elves, but when will I have the time… Also there was a Mizane fan visiting our table at Hypecon! If you see this let me thank you again! It just really made my whole year to learn that someone out there remembers Mizane from the previous pieces I have done! Thank you ;;0;;

Portrait of a Bearded Man

Roman

200 - 225 CE

“The contrast of the smoothly polished skin with the beard and hair, which are deeply drilled creating a pattern of light and shadow, is characteristic of sculpture carved during the Severan dynasty. The careful articulation of the locks of hair, the deeply drilled, crescent-shaped pupils placed high in the irises of the eyes, and the sense of moving facial muscles underneath the skin are all found in portraits of the early 200s. The hauntingly sad, resigned expression on the man's face is a frequent feature of Roman sculpture of this period, perhaps reflecting the tension and uncertainty created by the brutal reign of Caracalla.”
