The Seneschal Varel Love Boat

New art!

Fri, 27 Feb 2015 00:35:19 GMT

So after a really long dry spell (the last time I did a sketch was a couple years ago), I got fired up again, mostly by a) being pissed at this guy who made a mod for Dragon Age to make the already-too-thin female models even thinner, b) Peter Morwood’s discussions about proper armor for women, and c) my hatred for the open-from-neck-to-chest leather armor in the game.

Had a bad moment when I found my old scanner didn’t work with Windows 8.1, but found a driver for Vista that works well enough. Can’t use the fancy HP software, sadly, but I never depended on it.

( Big images ahoy! )

Coming out of the closet (or dropping anonymity)

Fri, 06 Feb 2015 22:41:47 GMT

So I've been working on a framing story for my fills, and today I've posted the first chapter of "Only Honor Gives Duty Meaning"! It's been some years since I wrote the first Varel/F!Cousland fill for the Dragon Age Kink Meme, and I've decided to drop my anonymity. You can read it here:

"Only Honor Gives Duty Meaning":
On AO3

A few items from the sketchbook, just things I've worked on to try to get over writer's block.

I think I'll work on darkrose's prompt next! And, gasp, the Warden won't be Elethea!

If there was a medieval version of GQ...

Was working on this while waiting for DA2 to drop in price, but didn't finish cleaning it up before I got the game. Now it's done!

Big version under the cut.

Well, I feel like an idiot.

Wed, 26 Jan 2011 23:56:24 GMT

It occurred to me that maybe I should post my Dragon Age fanart to my own blog and not just to a community. XD Many sketches within!

Lots of sketches within; since getting the scanner out and set up is a pain, I tend to accumulate a bunch before uploading.

Naming the nameless Orlesian Wardens sent to the Vigil

Tue, 30 Nov 2010 02:34:08 GMT

Okay, so for a planned fic, I plan to put a name to the dozen Orlesian Wardens that stayed for less than a week and died, nameless and forgotten. Also, I will do fanart of them, just to set them in my mind and give them distinct personalities. I have an idea already for the nominal leader of the Wardens, Antoine, and you will see what he looks like when I haul out my scanner again. (Teaser: he turned out hotter than I thought. :D)

So, I know some of you have Orlesian Wardens in your fics; what I'd like to know is if you would like to give me the names (if different from the default name in the game), and what they look like, so I can do some sketches. First come, first served!

Rangers and Grey Wardens...

Thu, 11 Nov 2010 03:41:10 GMT

So I had this plot bunny pop up when I saw the "Dragon Age characters in another setting" prompt, putting Varel and Elethea in the Babylon 5 universe. I know, I know, B5 is freaking ancient history, but I can't get it out of my mind. And how like the Anla'shok - also known as Rangers - are so much like the Grey Wardens.

Here is their motto: I am a Ranger. We walk in the dark places no others will enter. We stand on the bridge, and no one may pass. We live for the One, we die for the One.

Except for the last part, it reminds me a lot of the Grey Warden motto. There's also a huge civil war story arc in B5, and... oh, down, plot bunny! Down!

After reading the song suggestions on this thread, I ventured out to find some more music that would evoke the proper mood for fight scenes. Enjoy!
