I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Hey what would you say about a 10yo art of my friend's inquisitor Elin and Cullen?

(this took MONTHS I'm glad I can now paint faster)
#dragonage #art
Elin belongs to @vronism.bsky.social

A digital painting of a human redhead woman and Cullen Rutherford from Dragon Age. They're both in a waist deep, clear blue water and he's holding her up in his arms, while she has her hands around his neck. She has a white water lily tucked behind her ear. There are two horses behind them: a white one with a saddle and a brown one, bareback.

#FarieLavellan was raised to follow the elven gods, but she started having her crisis of faith pretty early into her Inquisition days. Or maybe not exactly a crisis, but she started considering how it is way more complicated and messy than her people would like to believe.

(my favourite piece is also my most recent but the mafia AU is a close second! I really want to expand on this theme!!)

#strnart #DragonAge

A comic page of my Rook Firion and Neve. They're both holding a drink and gossiping. There are sub-titles added and Rook is saying "And then we had a little... eye-contact." Neve is answering sarcastically: "Eye-contact? Wow, I hope you were using protection."

My take on Lucanis as a mafia boss. He's wearing a black suit with a white button down shirt. He's wearing black dress shoes with dark red soles and purple socks that have pink eyes on them as a nod to Spite. He's sitting in a purple padded chair and he's holding a green apple in his hand because he still advocates for healthy food! In the background you can see a wall of various modern assassination weapons and a coffee table with his signature mug on it. The picture is in black and white with some grain to give it an "old movie flair.

Digital painting of Emmrich Volkarin: he's covered with a semi-transparent shroud to cover up his decomposing body. Some body parts are already a skeleton but the upper half of his face is still covered in skin. He's wearing his Lich crown over the shroud and holding a white flower in his hand. He's standing in front of a gravestone (that could be his own) that's covered in vines. In the background you can see two flames and flowers and the Necropolis.

Lucanis and my Rook Firion are out in Treviso on a date. Firion is walking on a parapet with his arms spread for balance and Lucanis is holding his hand, looking up at him with love and admiration. Firion is wearing his usual green tunic and elven leggins (barefoot of course) and on his shoulders he's wearing Lucanis' mage killer jacket. Lucanis himself is wearing casual clothes: a light blue button down and his usual grey pants. In the background you can see the beauty of Treviso, the canals and bridges and the market lights.

My whole Rylavellan AO3 series is now 30k+ words long which is quite amazing considering I never expected myself to write, especially in a foreign language... That's what blorbo obsession does to a person.
(I know people write fics longer than this on daily basis but you know what i mean 😆)

#FarieLavellan likes to shut down her brain while embroidering. She also likes to do some people watching, or hike a bit. Or she simply takes a nap when she feels like it. YES, sometimes with Rylen, there you go.

I wasn't sure if I wanna do this, but screw it, I'm a firm believer fandom spaces should be for sharing what you LOVE, so:

Gush about your favourite #dragonage character, without saying their name. No mention of their name whatsoever.

#FarieLavellan 's sense of humour is *hidden*. You have to know her a bit to witness it. But then she's all for witty comments and perfectly timed one liners. And she will tease you. Others find her funny, once they shake off the initial surprise

Can you tell I love Dragon Age? :D

A crocheted Dread Wolf from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. He is grey with brushed fur (acrylic) yarn for his body and ears, fluffy/scraggly black yarn for his mane and tail, and has six(!) needle-felted green/blue eyes. His muzzle is scrunched a little and lightly brushed with chalk pastels to add depth. Wired legs and neck allow for light posing. He stands here on four legs on a white backdrop, facing to the right.

A (freehanded!) crocheted Blackwall (Dragon Age Inquisition) amigurumi, standing outside in the early morning sunlight in front of the branches of a pine tree. His arms are at his sides (kind of in motion) as he looks up and into the camera. He is 18"/46cm tall.

He's wearing his casual outfit—brown gambeson, dark brown boots and gloves—and each piece of his clothing is detailed.

His gambeson has white X stitching on his right upper arm, a belt (with a buckle, belt holes, and a "leather" strap to keep the tail down), a collar, ties and clasps down the front, and beneath the gambeson, a metallic chain shirt (peeking out from the open part beneath his belt, and a lighter tunic showing just beneath the very bottom of the gambeson.

His boots and gloves are belted, and each belt has buckles, belt holes, and most have the same "leather" strap to hold the tails down. His gloves also are gloves, not mittens, so each hand has five fingers and a thumb. His boots are flat and dark grey on the bottoms, so he can stand (with some support).

A belt is cinched around his waist, and beneath it is red/brown padding with white trim. This belt has a round buckle (all the other buckles on his outfit are square). Additionally, the belt is overly large, as it is in game, and so it loops around itself and hangs a bit—visible in pictures I'll put in the replies.

His face is highly detailed and sculpted, using multiple sculpting techniques. His nose is crooked and protrudes from his face, his hair, including beard and mustache, are brushed yarn (and then needle felted to shape his facial hair and brows). His eyes are needle felted as well, and chalk pastels were used to color and shade his face to the best of my ability. Small amounts of chalk pastels were also used on his hair to lighten parts of his beard and temples.

And, in all of that, I only stabbed myself with the felting needle once! :D

My crocheted Taash from Dragon Age: The Veilguard wearing Plumed Platemail armor. They are 9 inches (23 cm) tall, with wired arms and horns, needle-felted eyes and brows, a bead necklace (secured), and painted and embroidered details on their armor. The armor is mostly teal (for the “feathered” arms, shoulders, and chaps), with a mint-blue plate covering their chest. Their midriff is exposed, along with their arms around their elbows. Their gauntlets each have a trio of off-white bone spikes (firmed-up and shaped with Mod Podge) sticking out just below the elbows. Wrapping along each arm is red “rope” yarn, which winds between the spikes and up to the shoulders, where it doubles up to resemble straps. Their boots are dark grey, with light grey cuffs (embroidered with gold); around their ankles are red ties and a gold disc.

Taash’s long, white hair is braided and tied back with a gold cuff near the top of the braid, and a red band at the bottom of the braid (both crocheted). Their hair is secured with two small elastic bands beneath the red crocheted tie.

In Taash’s right ear are two small gold hoops and a gold disc (all yarn). Similar discs decorate Taash’s boots and belt, and hang from the ropes on their arm. A small gold stud is embroidered below Taash’s mouth, and a gold ring circles a small amount of hair at Taash’s widow’s peak.

Taash’s right horn is green, with a thick gold cuff at the horn’s base, along with a thinner cuff near the middle-end of the horn. Their left horn is brown and features another thick cuff at the base, and a thin gold wrap near the end of the horn.

I lost track of how long this took me to make, but I’d estimate between 30-40 hours.

A small (7.5" tall) amigurumi of Cole Dragon age. He's wearing a large hat that hides a lot of his face, a patched, raggedy top with a quilted shoulder pad, a belt around his midsection, and dark trousers. He has a dagger in each hand.

In this shot, I'm holding him in my hand in front of a white backdrop.
