7 months later, the drawing is finally done! Some say they're still pestering Dorian to this day

#dragonage #dai #dorianpavus #ironbull
Dragon Age: Inquisition fan art. My character Micah is hugging Dorian, who's pretending to be annoyed. The Iron Bull has his arm around both of them.

The downside to working on something for the better part of a year is that eventually your art style changes. And then you start getting the urge to completely redo the drawing.

You'll never guess what happened with this one (i've been studying oil painting processes)

#art ✧ #wip ✧ #dragonage
Dragon age fanart. My character/inquisitor Micah is hugging an embarassed Dorian. The Iron Bull has his arm wrapped around both of them. It's just on the edge between night and day, and the sky is turning purple behind them.

Fun fact! Andrea's pupils dilate like a cat when she's looking at something she'd interested in/excited by

My character Andrea lounging in a chair, wrapped in her blanket. She's smiling as she says "With the flowers?" Melinoë replies "Mhm", to which Andrea responds "The big one on your right; in the middle somewhere."

Just finished making new reference boards for all my characters and dusting off their artfight profiles for July! Figured I'd share them all here. I'm super excited for this year's event!!

Get Well Soup: chapter 1, page 4

Anyone else hate bed rest with a passion

#art #ocs #ocsky #gws #comics
Two cute drawings of Melinoë and Andrea frame a series of speech bubbles. The text reads; Andrea: "Besides, I'm sick of bed! Plenty of things I could do, places I could be—you know." Melinoë: "Only three hours have passed." Andrea's line overlaps Mel's previous one: "What're you looking for, anyway?" Melinoë: "The fish soup recipe Arreken authored a few years ago."

Melinoë continues reading her book, with a small smile on her face as she says to Andrea, "You shouldn't be out of bed. What if your cold gets worse?" Andrea runs her hand through her hair, sighing, and says "I'd have to languish by the oceanside. I think that would fix me." Mel snorts in response.
