The above image, a reproduction of a study for a much larger painting, serves as a primary example of the flourishing of the Highever parochial style following the coronation of Queen Consort Talvinder Kaur Theirin, originally of House Cousland. Itself one of many offshoots of the post-occupation renaissance style, Highever parochial, like most regional styles, eschews Orlesian academic sensibilities while appropriating various elements of composition and finishing unique to the court painters of Val Royeaux. More specifically, Highever parochial is an example of the combination of the freer brushstrokes and domestic moments associated with post-occupation renaissance styles and the bright colors and decorative embellishments known to all connoisseurs of Hasmali art. This admixture is a unique result of the enthusiastic patronage of the Cousland Teyrnir, and the popularity of the workshop of Jaspreet Singh in Highever City.

DAO folks, plus DAA cause I love them. All of them a drawn to look about how I headcanon them at the start of DAA (hence why Anders is still a golden boy). Plus some general headcanons.
Specific praise to @kesterite cause I used their art as inspiration for specifically Sten and Alistair.
I was told by @ndostairlyrium that the new ad for italian snacks Buondì ("Good day") has big Aisling energy.
And so of course I had to. Because it does.
For all new followers: HI! That is Aisling's horse, a small Dalish All-Bred with an attitude, named Little Brother.
Don't worry she'll be fine, she's used to it by now. Cullen, a little less so, but she won't tell the horse anything worse than "Bad horsey!" and say he's right in defending himself if she bullies him, so...
Was tagged by @alyssalenko to take this uquiz for my OCs. Thank you :)
I'll tag @raflesia65 @spacebunshep and @elellan Only if you feel like doing this, of course.
For the doodle request, can I humbly ask for Alistair and gale meeting (bc tell me they don't remind you of each other???). And maybe morrigan and astarion, since both of them early on in their respective games are very meh about helping people, plus I think their attitudes are super similar!
ALISTAIR MY BOY!!! I haven’t drawn him in so long 😭😭🤲💕
He and Gale both have big “I love my partner” energy
