Dragon Age has brought me so much joy and comfort in my darkest times- i could (and might honestly) write so much about it.

That I cant reciprocate that feeling to the people that made it- i get so frustrated.

Any and all DA devs, you matter. Your work matters- they dont know all you did.

#rook #dragonage digital oil. About an hour. Sketchy paint no black or white used. Riven (they/them) 🐍💚

Riven painted in pale colors with reddish tattoos, their head is reclined and their eyes closed. On a pink bg.

Same image but rivens head is haloed in blue and orange light. The background is a deep umber.

Day 6/Page 6-7 of #EMMRICHWEEK2025
Necropolis | Spirits

Two pages today! I’ll be honest—I conflated spirits with wisps while writing this and, once I realized, I was too far in to change it lol. But Emmrich mentions the gardens so that’s the necropolis, too, right? 👀💦

{ #nixmoriarty | #DragonAge }

This page is separated into four panels: one long but narrow on top, two square panels in the middle, and one larger panel on the bottom. The page is colored in dual tones, with a dark green/gray in the background and the characters are shaded in beige tones with a turquoise highlight.

In the top panel, Laelia faces forward looking up at three wisps that float around her, saying “these wisps again… there’s so many today.”

In the next panel, there is a close up of Laelia’s face at a three-quarter view facing the right. She’s still looking up and says “They always seem to follow us on our walks.”

Next panel, Emmrich is also in three-quarter view, looking left towards Laelia. He replies “The same wisps at that, my love. From the first time I invited you to the memorial gardens.”

In the last panel, the “camera” is zoomed out, showing Laelia from the waist up and Emmrich from thighs up. He’s moved next to Laelia again with his left hand on her waist and his right hand holds the gift Manfred handed him. Manfred is on the left side of the panel, in front of Laelia and Emmrich. Manfred plays with the wisps that float above his head.

Laelia, looking at Manfred, asks “Wisps of curiosity, right? Like Manny?

End of page.

This page is separated into two panels: a smaller top panel and a larger bottom panel. The page is colored in dual tones, with a dark green/gray in the background and the characters are shaded in beige tones with a turquoise highlight.

In the first panel, Emmrich and Laelia stand in the middle at about 3-quarter view, both looking up and Emmrich’s hand is on Laelia’s waist still, his other hand is behind his back. Emmrich responds to Laelia’s question from the previous page: “Only at first…”

Laelia responds: “Oh? What are they then?”

Emmrich replies: “It took me a while to understand their exact nature, myself.”

On the next panel, Emmrich and Laelia are still in mostly the same view but the “camera” has zoomed out a bit, and all three can be seen from around knee-height. Emmrich is turned slightly, facing the camera more. Manfred is running towards the left, his hands high above his head as he plays with the wisps.

Emmrich continues: “At first, I thought they must be wisps of respect—perhaps admiration. But there was something… more. I didn’t see it at first or, perhaps, I simply couldn’t believe it. Not until we spent more time together, did their true nature begin to make sense.”

End page. Each sentence of that last paragraph is in. Separate bubble, wrapping around the page akin to a wisp flying. The last text bubble is loosely in the shape of a heart.

SOLAS YELLING “I AM A GOD” IS REPRESENTATIVE THAT HE HAS FINALLY AND COMPLETELY CORRUPTED FROM ‘SPIRIT’ TO ‘DEMON’ JUST LIKE THE OTHER EVANURIS BEFORE HIM DID AND HE IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE PEOPLE HE FOUG- aggressively dragged back through a fade portal-

In the theme of 'paintings based on classics' here's another one based on 'The Abyss' by Pietro Canonica.

[ #jasperdraws #veilguard #rooklace #dragonageart ]

Illustration of Dawes 'Rook' Mercar (human, olive skin, short dark hair, blue outfit, green eyes) and Lace Harding (dwarven woman, freckled, pale skin, red hair, leather pants and white shirt). The pair are painted in a pink tint, and the background is barren and monochromatic. They are clutching each other and staring defiantly to the right of the composition.
