All the Dragon Age Veilguard news got me hyped and finally pushed me to finish this art series of my Dragon Age protagonists. Hawke was the one missing and you can see it since her coloring looks the best. My Inquisitor was from 2 years ago and my Warden from 6 years, only updated the shading in her hair. It shows nicely how my rendering process has improved.

Really so proud of how I did Hawke, used some more textures and overlay effects. Added some overlay effects on the other two, but really couldn't bring myself to fully render tham again. xD

Characters infos under cut

HoF/Warden Name: Anra Veilguard Age: 42 She/Her, Straight Origin: Dalish Elf Class: Duelist Rogue Team: Alistair, Wynne, Zevran ♥

Hawke Name: Ashira Inquisition Age: 34 (left in Fade) She/Her, Bi Class: Force Mage Team: Varric, Isabella, Fenris ♥

Inquisitor Name: Ashryn Veilguard Age: 47 She/Her, Bi Class: Assassin Rogue Team: Varric, Dorian, The Iron Bull ♥

Can't wait to add my Rook to the rooster in a few months. 😁 They will be another Qunari and probably a Rogue.

And yes, I left my Hawke in the Fade, just because I believed that she would survive better and I believed in the protagonist armor. 😭 Never changed that decision, just because I hoped it would be addressed again in a future game. Apparently that won't happen immediately in Veilguard, but I keep my fingers crossed. Otherwhise this is the end of the Hawke bloodline, because none of the twins survived. I do like the tragic behind it and I just try not to think of Fenris in that case. 8D

August 3rd is the date I designed as birthday for Akira. So happy Birthday to my lovely girl with a wonderful Sketch from @julls that I colored.  (Haven't done soft-coloring since two months, I'm out of practice. xD)

Quarantine Q&A

Tagged by @jeannedarcprice. Thanks, dear! 

Are you staying home from work/school?

Not exactly. I’m a ride sharing driver, so while I technically could, I’m not going to, since there are people such as grocery store and restaurant workers that still need rides. 

If you’re staying home, who’s there with you?

My mom (who is working from home), my bird, mom’s birds and fish, and our chinchilla. 

Are you a homebody?

Very much. If we end up going on total lock down, I won’t be lacking in stuff to keep myself occupied. 

What movies have you watched recently? What shows are you watching?

2005 Pride and Prejudice (w/ Kiera Knightley) was on TV the other day, and I just finished the first season of Star Trek Picard. Right now there’s a Mythbusters marathon on the Discovery Channel. 

An event that you were looking forward to that got cancelled?

Nothing really, unless you count the litany of events that were going to happen in the area that I was going to drive for. 

What music are you listening to?

@jeannedarcprice recently got me a copy of the Star Trek Picard soundtrack (thanks again!) but other than that, whatever comes on the radio at the moment. 

What are you reading?

I’m actually not reading anything at the moment. 

What are you doing for self-care?

At the moment, watching the aforementioned Mythbusters marathon. Watching things explode and duct tape being used for everything except it’s intended purpose is helping my mood immensely. And I’m debating between coloring and starting a new playthrough of Dragon Age Inquisition later. 

Tagging @gleefully-macabre, @runningracingdancingchasing, @the-magic-one-is-you, @pikuna, @dipsykoo, and @suzie-guru.

He would be such a sexy one. xD Relay already draws the Kett very cool/attractive and then with Bog's features. *whistles*

Hello everybody!

We grace you with something new and different from our usual Digimon Chibis. I (Pikuna) have fallen back into the Kingdom Hearts fandom, due to all the trailer released for the third main game and so I wanted to celebrate this with a few Kingdom Hearts Chibis. They were far more complex then most of the Digimon designs we did before (apart from the Ultimate/mega ones) and especially their Keyblades were a challenge. (I spent hours on Lea’s Keyblade with the fire/glass effect, but I’m happy how it turned out in the end.)

This is the only batch of KH Chibi we planned for now. If you would like to see more of those, let us know or start supporting us on our still-in-progress-Patreon to be able to vote on franchises and characters.

When the Raven steals your show

The awesome @miyonautica was so nice to draw my suggestion of our apprentices doting over Malak and she even added a background Julien. Seems he isn’t so happy about this scene he sees. xD

pikuna replied to your post “And you killed me again with the recent sketch. xD I really hope I...”

Okay, that is understandable. Was eyeing your Patreon anyway. Would the 20$ Sketch commission include one character or are two possible? And if not, can it be saved up for two?

It’s one character, but many patrons have stayed on the tier long enough to get either multiple characters or fancier (inked and colored) commissions

Lea and Akira in a modern setting, with him taking a selfie of them!  The short synopsis of the AU is that Akira is a law student and Lea is member of a rock-band and works part-time in a coffe shop where they meet each other.

I really missed to colors those two redheads.  And it's always nice to work with Elio's lines!

Flight through the Forest

This is certainly one of the pictures I worked the longest on, oh boy. :’D I’m still not very well practiced with detailed backgrounds and environment lights, so when @weakforbutterbog showed the incredible detailed sketch of this pic I saw this as opportunity to get some practice. (And it screamed “Color me!” xD) Never worked with so many different green tones and I hope I caught the forest feeling in this one well enough, as well as the light/shadows.  I certainly had my fun, but I’m also happy that I finally finished it.

A while ago the nice @ashhavynn drew my Ajina and I finally got to color it, inaugurating my new tablet pen. Has been some time since I colored something of her and I’m still happy how perfectly Ash drew Ajina’s expressions. That confident face is her default one.
