#ramblinganthropologist's art

[ramblinganthropologist]

got bored, did some headshots of my Wardens.

Left is Cahel Mahariel, age 18. Dual wield rogue. Doesn't have his vallaslin and is really touchy about it.

Right is Miris Tabris. Age 21. Two handed warrior. Doesn't have his right eye and is really touchy about it.

They're the Warden Commander and Senior Warden of Ferelden one day... but that day is not today. Today they're two guys.

Commission for @ramblinganthropologist of his idol character, Ray!

[arathergrimreaper]

Oh wait, ignore that one...I saw no yes/no questions, my bad! Let me think of a better way to phase this... I want to get published one day. What can I do to make that happen? Like am I on the wrong path or right way I guess... sorry for sending such a dumb question the last time, I realized it after I sent it... ^^U

@ramblinganthropologist

There is no such thing as a d*mb question here. Asking "yes or no" questions, I think, is just intuitive for us sometimes. Unfortunately, tarot works much better with specifics to focus on. You also had a jumper card so I will read that for you too.

The first card I drew was The Magician in the reversed postion. This card tells me there is so much potential and creativity in what you produce, but the key here is not only more confidence in that art baby you have made, but to have the defiance to pursue different avenues of success. The entire world may be against what you wish to achieve and that is why it is crucial for you to find new solutions that go beyond or around what has been done by those before you.

My second draw was the Eight of Swords. Feeling trapped and weighed down by the expectations set on writing can often lead you to become despondant and resigning yourself to remain so. Even blinding yourself to the way out with the optimism of pseudo-repenting long enough and being let out by outside validation. Try shedding some of those restrictions on your own first. It may be easier than you realize.

The third draw is The Tower. Change is scary. We all know that. It is also one of the few things humans do better than almost any other species. It is by embracing that change that we grow and expand our reach. More often than not, it is unavoidable. If you don't change willingly, there is usually something to push you into it. Don't fear what you will lose or have to endure to set more realistic expectations or push the boundaries of your writing. Enjoy what you have to gain from the task.

Your jumper card was the Eight of Wands.

You may want some sort of guide on your journey to published author and that's not a bad thing. Seeking out the advice of those who struggled just as you are now may help you figure out exactly where you wish to go from here. Take heed that even the most specific of steps will not apply to everyone and that eventually you will have to proceed on your own, using what you have gained to smooth your trail. Let's hope whoever you chose to follow there is a cautious and reasonable driver.

(Would have had this up sooner but I fell asleep , sorry about that 😅)

@gnomeicecream answered: He’s more fuckable then, say, Howe. He’s the most unfuckable. Jory is perfectly average. 

I wish I could agree. But like, I was researching Jory’s Fuckability by looking for things like fic about him fucking, and all I could fine was one (1) piece of fan art of Joining sexings, and I feel like the artist cared more about Alistair, Daveth and Duncan in it anyway.

So, before answering this I went to look for Howe fucking and I am very sorry to say that a good number of people on the internet seem very into Howe having sex. (Most of his kinkmeme prompts seem to be “Howe rapes the Warden”, which I’m not sure means people find him fuckable or not, but he also had more consensual fucking than Jory did.) So there we have it, Jory is legitimately less fuckable than Howe.

@becauseforoncethisisme answered: He was an asshole, don’t feel sorry for him. He showed the hollowness of Thedosian knightly culture.

Eh, I mean, he wasn’t the best person, but I don’t think he was a total asshole. But I did really love how you’re introduced to Jory the shiny Honorable knight who impressed Duncan to join and Daveth the cocky pickpocket who got conscripted after stealing, and then Daveth’s the one who’s actually brave and selfless enough to be willing to go through the Joining without objecting to it at all. (Still upset that Daveth dies.)

@ramblinganthropologist said: He needs like a tiara for this or something. Congratulations, you’re Mister Unfuckable 9:30 Dragon. As he stutters he has a child on the way. Too bad here’s your tiara.

Y e s. Honestly with how Unfuckable he’s proving to be I am starting to doubt the existence of his wife and future child. Is his wife okay? Has she ever like, looked at him? Is she in fact having an affair and he didn’t realise you need to have sex to get pregnant? Whatever the reason, he is getting the Mister Unfuckable tiara.

Once again, idols in May. Good job if you know what I referenced, lol.

[ramblinganthropologist]

May was idol month do not ask me why I forgot.

If you know where this reference comes from, good for you it was a good song. And the idol is awesome. Not a big fan of the group or the idol but they did it well.

[ramblinganthropologist]

The last image was for the holidays. Al makes a good reindeer. Not pictured was the outfit I was GONNA put him in, lol.

[ramblinganthropologist]

Look, a ginger with a pumpkin. Must be fall. September is all about fall for these two.

And yes. His hoodie has hamster ears. Alistair Shepard is the height of fashion.

[ramblinganthropologist]

Here's March for Al. I can't draw trees, I know.

(And here's the fanfic)

[ramblinganthropologist]

Trying to figure out what to show to my art class tomorrow. Left is pencil, right is charcoal.

[ramblinganthropologist]

Bo is an elf. I did this for the irony.

[ramblinganthropologist]

Time to put the ass in Mass Effect for November.

Fun fact, the website I used to print the calendar asked if I wanted a mug with Bo's ass on it. I might have to take them up on it, it was kinda awesome.

[ramblinganthropologist]

Bo got to be Anakin. I don't make the rules I just make the art.

[ramblinganthropologist]

October was Halloween. Have Obi-Wan Kenobi Al using the force.
