I would die for Kidd.

Today I'd like to show you another aceo I created, one I'm really happy with :) I tested my new ShinHan Pass paints and to do so I painted a small portrait of my Dalish elf Yasao, illustrating the moment when she is about to become a Grey Warden ♥  I'm really incredibly happy with how her eyes and the blue lights ended up looking *////* Her expression perfectly captures her inner turmoil at this life changing moment.

I also wrote a little blog entry to accompany this painting, including a few WIP pictures, background information and my thoughts on the new paints. You can find it here: https://fareoff-visions.jimdo.com/2018/02/23/making-of-becoming-a-grey-warden-review-shinhan-pass/

Do you like it? If yes, I'll write those posts more often :)

Curiosity killed the cat – oh, if only Tamlen had remembered this saying, when he and Yasao explored an abandoned ruin and eventually discovered a mysterious mirror... But no, the young elf felt rather drawn towards the artifact, he approached it quickly, ignoring his companion's warnings, who nonetheless tried to keep him from touching the mirror. She sensed the danger, felt instinctively that something was wrong – but too late, Tamlen didn't listen. She couldn't stop him – she couldn't save him...And she could never forgive herself for this. __________ And with this short, dramatic text to accompany my drawing, the “Inktober” 2017 comes to an end – and I gotta admit, I'm rather relieved it's over & that I made it. The illustration was rather difficult, not only because this scene from Dragon Age is a very, very emotional one for me. But I think I learned a lot regarding cross-hatching&ink and I'm quite happy with the finished result :)

Is anyone still here? O///O I know I haven’t been posting much (again), even though I do have a number of things I’d like to show you soon, including illustrations of one of my favorite novels, as well as more Dragon Age fanart... But for now, let me present this little WIP to you ♥

This year I’m participating in the drawing event dedicated to art done mainly in ink, the ”Inktober”.  The previous years I never joined the fun, simply because due to my time-consuming way of planning every piece of art thoroughly, right down to the smallest detail, it’s impossible for me to follow a given “list” and create an entirely new drawing every day. But this year I figured, why not join anyway, but do things differently? Rather than creating a whole new drawing from scratch every day, I'm spending the month working on a large (A4-sized) artwork, all entirely in ink :)

This is how far I've come so far. Do you recognize this heartbreaking moment? D//:

My, it’s been a while since I last was active here, please forgive me O//O And welcome to all the new followers, I’m very grateful you like my art ♥ Now..Let me present you one of my latest aceos. It was my 250th one so I wanted to celebrate this special occasion with a scene that's very dear to me: the very moment when Zevran proposed to Yasao, a few months after the Blight ended >///<  She absolutely didn't see this coming, after all, a lot like him, she thought marriage wasn't that important and she used to tell her foster-mother Ashalle she wasn't the “marrying-kind”.

Well, guess she was mistaken – and her mother was right all along, she simply didn't find the right guy before *giggles* ^///^ But now she did ♥

Do some of you remember the sketch I posted in March?  It took me ages to color this (I blame the hair!*laughs*) And that even though this is only ONE panel of a whole page. That goes to show why I should never draw comics, I treat every panel like a real painting *giggles* Buuuut I am sooo glad I FINALLY finished this one *///* It's one of my most favorite ZevYas scenes, simply because...Well. It's kind of romantic, isn't it? ♥

A little personal piece: it's based on my DA fanfiction, a story I call “the nightmare chapter” (not to be mistaken with the drean realm of the mages quest at the tower of Magi) . In it, a few members of the party are caught under some Wraith's curse and my Warden Yasao tries to save them, but she's all on her own (even though, in the end, someone comes to her aid, a person she least expected ♥). The problem is that in this cursed realm, she's been rid of her usual attire, that's why she's “clad like a beggar’s corpse“, to quote from my story – that's why she's wearing this linen dress and the random armor pieces. And unfortunately, a lot goes wrong...But despite being gravely injured, she keeps fighting to save her friends ^_^

...And that's precisely why I drew this >.>;; Because I'm currently feeling almost as “exhausted” as poor Yasi here, but I'm trying to keep fighting as well >////<  But enough about that...I hope that you like this little sketch. It’s still rough and unfinished, but it felt good to draw again. Do you think I should doodle stuff like this more often?

If you're wondering why it's a little quiet here atm, it's because I'm mostly working on items from my to-do-list during the day (mostly aceos that have to be kept secret still) and during the night I'm drawing panels for a private comic project about Zevran and Yasao – a kiiiinda NSFW one X//D

I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone by challenging myself to draw things I never dared before, such as complicated angles, as well as...*coughs* Certain details. My, it makes me blush so much, I can tell you that X//D; What you see here is the sketch of one of the panels >//u//<

What do you think of it?
