When he wasn't wearing the one thing he wouldn't be caught dead without, we should have known. It should have hit us immediately, that this essential part of him was just gone, deleted. Without its weight and presence, how real could he have been?

We should have known.

A wounded "Varric" lies sleeping in this warm, intimate screenshot. His scarred face has a month's worth of beard and a black eye. Visible just over his shoulder, on the out of focus table, is part of Bianca (the crossbow). What's missing is his signature necklace. The chain or rope may have changed over the years, but the ring has always been constant. Varric is not Varric without this piece of his past resting against his heart. And it's not there. The real Varric crouches in the shadows beside Rook, ready to take action, in this black and white screenshot. The center of the image is the leather necklace with its gold ring, framed by Varric's open shirt and splayed coat collar. The ring is bright gold, the only color in the picture. A second close up of the sleeping, false Varric, with Bianca's broken stock more prominent beside him. As in the first image, he has no gold ring around is neck. A close up of Varric from the moment after Solas has stabbed him. A shocked expression is half-hidden by his downcast face. Rain pelts his coat and chest. Blood blooms from beneath the dagger, which he grips as if unsure if he can or should pull it out. And beside the dagger...the gold ring hanging from its cord around his neck. These will be the last moments we see the 'real' Varric, with his iconic gold ring, until speaking with his memory in the prison of Regret.

yep, there he is. 👍

a sparkly black and white shot of lucanis, from a high angle, closely cropped and with a shallow depth of field, as his bare form is encircled by a swirl of Spite's spectral wings.

a black and white mid-profile of lucanis from his prison escape. he is bare-chested and looking suspicious but hopeful. a black and white shot of lucanis from outside a crystalline enclosure. as he crouches inside the claustrophobic trap, the high angle reveals how vulnerable he seems in only a pair of briefs. the crystal facet through which we see him is cracked down the center, splitting the picture with a bright fissure.

#rookanis #lucanisdellamorte #evaristemercar #lucariste #bossedits #datv
a sunset-y mid-shot of Lucanis (facing cameria) looking up at Evariste (in profile). the light reflecting on Lucanis's hair and beard makes him seem older, and graying. While Evariste's gray hair seems even whiter. the effect is like seeing what they will be like in ten years together.

if we matter to the world, if we do not, this is the point: we made worlds of each other so that we could shout 'you matter to me' into the firmament.

a sherbet colored screenshot of lucanis and evariste, side by side, standing before a desert sky. they are facing the same direction, but lucanis looks up at evariste. a bright orange lens flare adds a corona of light to their heads. a wide landscape shot of lucanis and evariste against the hazy sherbet-colord backdrop of the Anderfels desert at sunset. Evariste is goodfing around, leaning back at the edge of a rickety walkway, one leg extended, and lucanis smiles at his antics despite himself.

#lucanisdellamorte #evaristemercar #rookanis #lucariste #datv #commission
A mid-shot of Evariste and Lucanis with their eyes locked on one another. Evariste is on his knees, putting his head around chest-level with Lucanis. Lucanis bends over him, head bowed. They hold each other tenderly, possessively, gratefully. A mid-shot of Evariste, eyes squeezed shut in relief, having gone to his knees to throw his arms around Lucanis's middle. One hand comes up to grip Lucanis at the waist. The dark glove of Lucanis's hand is just visible as it curls around Evariste's cheek from the other side. The center of the comic. A full-body image of Evariste and Lucanis embracing. On his knees, Evariste is still so large that Lucanis barely needs to bend over to hug him tightly. Lucanis clutches Evariste's hair and buries his face into the top of his head. His eyes are shut tight, his expression overcome with emotion. Evariste has wrapped both arms around Lucanis, and buries his face against Lucanis's chest, a similar expression tightenoin his brow. The colors are somber. The background is a hazy miasma of grey texture, representing the ruined ritual site, and the vanishing Fade, with huge shadowy statuary in the distance. But there is a suggestion of light breaking through the dust.

An exquisite fanart comic depicting the moment Evariste Mercar is pulled from the prison of Regret, and falls to his knees embracing Lucanis, who curls around him protectively. The background is a hazy miasma of grey texture, representing the ruined ritual site, and the vanishing Fade, with huge shadowy statuary in the distance. and a suggestion of light peeking through the clouds of dust. Five panels surround the central image of the embrace. 1) A close-up of Evariste's determined face, and his hand, reaching through the Veil. 2) A close-up of a smaller hand grasping Evariste's larger one. 3) A close-up of Lucanis's eyes, glossy with tears, his brows drawn together in pain and relief. 4) A mid-shot of Evariste, eyes squeezed shut in disbelief, throwing his arms around Lucanis's waist, having gone to his knees. 5) A mid-shot of Evariste and Lucanis, letting go just enough to gaze at each other as if promising to never be parted again.

i have no idea wtf to do any more.

these shots are from an UNmodded save. the game is glitching like this with or without mods, and it regularly crashes in under half an hour after startup.

A tight shot of Evariste and Lucanis in the Lighthouse Library. Evariste is wearing a very tight and somewhat revealing outfit and leaning suggestively on the table. Lucanis leans against the end of the sofa with his coffee, looking aside at Evariste. Lucanis's eyeline is somewhere around nipple-level.

#evaristemercar #datv #datvmods #dragonagerook #bossedits
A mid shot of Evariste looking intense toward the camera, chin down. He wears a modded outfit, of which only the top is visible. It is an open, bolero-style sleeveless jacket, in gray, with aqua colored contrast piping along the sharp hemline. The vest/jacket seems to barely fit him. He wears no shirt underneath, so his hairy chest, scars, and tattoos are visible. There are also gray gauntlets. A fun shot of Evariste in the modded outfit. His arms are outflung as if balancing. A mostly fullbody shot of Evariste in contrapposto, modeling a modded outfit. The pants are a gray reptile skin, very tight, with a red sash wrapped around his waist. The top is an open, bolero-style sleeveless jacket, in a matching gray, with aqua colored contrast piping along the sharp hemline. The vest/jacket seems to barely fit him. He wears no shirt underneath, so his hairy chest, scars, and tattoos are visible. There are also gray gauntlets. A rear shot of Evariste in a revealing, tight-fitting modded outfit.

The top is an open, bolero-style sleeveless jacket, in a matching gray, with aqua colored contrast piping along the sharp hemline. The vest/jacket seems to barely fit him. He wears no shirt underneath, so the scars and tattoos across his hab and arms are visible. The jacket has a lace-up detail at the back, showing a criss-cross of red thread. But the real feature here is Evariste's magnificent ass.

hopping around the anderfels...

#lucanisdellamorte #datv #datvVP #bossedits
His black armor and rapiers limned by low, golden sunlight, Lucanis leaps up onto some old, ruined bridgework in a high canyon. Close up of Lucanis leaping up onto a platform toward the viewer. He is lit from the right side by a low golden sunset, while the ruins of a Warden fortress jut from the canyonlands in the distance behind him. Lucanis is caught mid-jump as he drops down from a high perch. His hair and shortened cape float upward. He is silhouetted against the hazy, sunset glow of the High Anderfels, a cold and arid land left barren by the ravages of multiple Blights. His black armor and rapiers limned by low, golden sunlight, Lucanis leaps up onto some old, ruined bridgework in a high canyon. Behind him in the distance stands an old tower with huge griffon perch-beams jutting from its parapets.

An extremely high angle shot of Lucanis leaning beside the fireplace while Evariste...leans into him. The firelight casts a long shadow from Evariste, who towers over a smirking Lucanis. A wider angle shot from across the dining table, showing the entire fireplace flanked by giant wolf statues. Evariste leans into Lucanis as if discussing something private. A tight full-length shot from behind Lucanis as Evariste leans down slightly into his space. An answering smirk is visible on Evariste's face, as if reacting to a comment...or about to make one. A wider angle shot from within the kitchen area, showing not just the two men speaking intimately at the fireplace, but also the entire dining table with its disarrayed chairs, and the high, mosaic walls. Evariste leans into Lucanis as if discussing something private. In the foreground are cups full of utensils and a few low-burning candles.

a detail of Lucanis looking away from the camera, showing some of his weaponry by the firelight. A telephoto shot of Lucanis stalking through the remains of a blighted Warden camp. He is mostly in shadow against the hazy light of the canyon in the background. The lighting accentuates the distinctive triangular silhouette of his armor and the flare of his swashbuckling thigh high boots. A warm and contrasty close-up of Lucanis, crouched by a campfire, looking at the viewer. The firelight touches half his face, illluminating an expression of wariness or concern.

also here's another angle on the cunty little swagger he does when entering the abandoned Warden camp.

#lucanisdellamorte #lucanis #datv #bossedits
A long/telephoto shot of Lucanis swishing around like a catwalk model in his tall boots. The cape and triangular fauld of his leather cuirass have been removed via an armor mod. It gives his silhouette less ostentatiousness, but without sacrificing too much in the way of shape and adornment.

(listen, i am very proud of the timing of this shot. it looks like Lucanis is escorting Evariste on a dumb tour and will you just look at his pleased lil face.)
Lucanis in the middle of the frame looks up and directly at the viewer, as if catching sight of a security camera at an art gallery. Hands on his hips, he looks pleased with himself. Beside him and slightly in the background, Evariste has one arm looped through the crook of his elbow and is watching the ground with a small smile.

A wide angle shot of a wintery scene in the Crossroads, a place in the Fade where a network of mirrors (eluvians) can transport people all across Thedas. In this area, the weather is icy, and patchy snow covers the boulder-strewn landscape. Dwarven ruins and gigantic white crystals flank the eluvian in the background. A small dark-haired man, Lucanis Dellamorte, in swashbuckling black leather, bristling with silver weaponry, walks alongside a massive toppled pillar. Beside him is a large man, Evariste Mercar, dressed in comfortable, casual clothing. Evariste would usually stand more than a foot taller than Lucanis, but because of the uneven terrain, they are shoulder-to-shoulder. A shot of Lucanis and Evariste as they climb together beside the fallen pillar. Lucanis looks at the carved stone, hands on his hips, as if he's assessing a piece of real estate. Meanwhile, Evariste has an arm through the crook for Lucanis's, and is watching his own footing on the snowy rocks. Pausing in their exploration, Evariste and Lucanis are pictured chatting beside one of the dozens of towering crystals that dominate this area of the Crossroads. In the background, more fine dwarven craft-work is on display. An OTS (over-the-shoulder) shot of Lucanis's face as he listens to Evariste talk about mechanical shit, probably. Or horses. Lucanis wears a slight smirk of adoration for this large nerd who doesn't seem bothered by the cold.

the PC hiatus gave me a chance to make this, tho.

#lucanisdellamorte #heroforge #HFkitbash #datv #evaristemercar

(i don't love how Evariste's face came out, so i'll keep noodling with it. but i impressed even myself with Lucanis's armor, mullet, and facial hair.)
detail of rapiers and silver accents as well as Evariste's red snake tattoos. rear wide shot that is, apparently, out of focus. oh well. it shows a little of how i re-created the back-mounted dagger on Lucanis's armor, as well as Spite's wings. detail of the kitbashing technique used to re-create/approximate the iconic Covert Leathers that Lucanis wears. details include Crow coins along the belt, and a mash-up of several shoulder and chest pieces to give the extreme triangular silhouette of that the armor gives Lucanis. The same color is used for all pieces, but altered slightly in terms of reflectivity and depth. also, i used a teeny tiny version of the Plague Doctor mask, colored silver, to stand in for the Crow Skull pin that Lucanis wears to clasp his shirt collar together at the neck. a screenshot of two Mini Figures created in Hero Forge, depicting Evariste Mercar and Lucanis Dellamorte. Lucanis is using Spite's wings to bring himself eye-to-eye with Evariste, who holds him loosely around the waist.
