Day 3/page 3 #EMMRICHWEEK2025
Grief | Thanatophobia

Laelia expands on why she was uncomfortable with necromancy when she and Emmrich first met, and the two idly talk about the comfort the necropolis brings while the two walk towards the Memorial Gardens.

{ #nixmoriarty | #DragonAge | #Emmrich }

Emmrich and Laelia (Rook) from Dragon Age the Veilguard walk through the Vault of the Beloved. The composition is zoomed out, with Emmrich and Laelia fairly small, walking hand-in-hand away from the viewer. The composition focuses more on the scale of the hall they’re in, with large skeletal statues lining the walkway. The lighting is dark, getting lighter and foggier the further down the hall, with a splash of light on a staircase leading down a path on the right. A number of wisps float high above the pair.

Dialogue: (forgive the caps, but this page is dialogue heavy and I’m copying from the page. They are not, in fact, yelling. Their speaking tones are likely relatively soft.)

Laelia: LOSS IS SUCH A PAINFUL THING.
I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE COULD SURROUND THEMSELVES WITH REMINDERS OF IT EVERYDAY.

Emmrich: IT MAY SEEM MORBID TO THE UNFAMILIAR, BUT OUR TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD ARE AN AFFIRMATION OF LIFE.
THEY ARE REMINDERS TO LIVE OUR LIVES WELL AND TO MAKE THE MOST OF OUR TIME WHILE HERE

Laelia: AS WELL AS THE COMFORT THAT OUR LIVES ARE REMEMBERED WHEN
WE’RE GONE.

Emmrich: QUITE SO, MY LOVE.
WE ARE NEITHER OF US
STRANGERS TO THE DREAD OF OBLIVION. BUT IT GLADDENS MY HEART YOU'VE GROWN TO FIND SOLACE IN THE NECROPOLIS.

100% and Spokane is such a sensitive one for the locals. My husband is from Washington (we met there) and literally *any* time a show mentions Spokane, he either applauds their pronunciation or shakes his head 😂. Also, pop versus soda.

Oh yeah. I remember when I first moved to the PNW, Puyallup gave me away ahaha. The locals make sure you learn fast 😂

I imagine it’s something all artists experience from time to time, and especially us little guys. 🫂

It’s always interesting to me what I think will do well versus what does do well, in terms of art posts.

And how often that leads to feelings of depression and inadequacy.

This ended up being the toughest task of #wemmrichweek, even though it was the first idea I had. Thinking about Emmrich’s fear of death, and how many times he must have endured the loss of loved ones… it makes today a hard day

I’m also sharing a clean version of this image, because I really love how the atmosphere turned out. I’m currently using this one as my phone wallpaper lol.

This one hit close to home for me, as a fellow sufferer of thanatophobia.

I hope I don’t do the ADHD thing where I get decision paralysis and lose several hours and end up doing nothing.

I finished up coloring a page for Emmrich week early today. I could do more but I feel I need a break… the question is with what? I could Sims 4… or actually play some DAV… or look through mods for DAO/make my warden for my Oops! All Dwarves run.

CHOICES.

hey y'all. let's support Kala.

people are being more openly rude to creators on YT.

the bullying generally on YT is to the point that it's prompted other creators like Khadija Mbowe to leave. so if you can support creators there, that would be cool.

Urgh… I’m so sorry this happens to you daily. I will never understand these sorts of people.

If it helps at all, I’ve been a DA fan since 2009, and I found your work during the 10 year gap. It helped ease the wait and gave me a new love for the series. You’re a fantastic creator and artist!

Oh lordy. I heard these stories from various people involved. If you want to work in TV, or just are curious about how thoroughly things can go wrong, definitely check this out.

How could a straight-to-series greenlight go so wrong for the first TV series I ever created?! Today, the 5AM StoryTalk Podcast brings you Part 1 of a four-part Hollywood horror story I describe as a cautionary tale for screenwriters about what can happen when all your dreams come true.

Day 2! Emmrich recalls Laelia’s former hesitancy around necromancy, noting the change with curiosity. (I know it’s a stretch with the prompt but cut me some slack :p)

#EMMRICHWEEK2025 #Curiosity

{ #nixmoriarty | #dragonage | #Emmrich }

The second page of the comic has a very limited color palette, with the background in blue/gray and Emmrich and Laelia in monochrome warm tones to stand out from the background. Their speech bubbles are a light pink for her, a light green for him.

Emmrich approaches Laelia, leaning lightly on the pillar next to her with his hand. He says “Curious, when we first met, you were so disquieted by the dead and undead. “Creepy and weird,” were the words you used, as I recall.”
She grins up at him, saying “It helps that I have a dashing necromancer to hold my hand when I get spooked.”
“Mmhmm… shall we walk the gardens?” He replies, extending his hand towards her which she takes. Wisps float around them.

This is so freaking cool! I’m a sucker for grayscale + bright, bloody red. Samson looks properly menacing.

Day 2: Curiosity

I’ve often thought about how Emmrich could have met Manfred 20 years ago, back when he was just a small flame, and how it later evolved into a lasting bond

Thank you! I always do a limited palette for comics and had to go even more limited for this one to be able to get these out on time. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out so this is very gratifying to hear! 🫶

I am tying in a red lyrium and Samson backstory into my OC as I'm animating the codexes as well. At LorekeeperRedd on YouTube! Lots of Samson stuff coming... 👀

A clean version of the cover for my #EMMRICHWEEK2025 comic “Adoration.”

I painted this as a sort of Leyendecker study—the style really does suit him so well.

Day 1: #Necromancy

{ #nixmoriarty | #DragonAge }

Thank you DATVCOMPANIONWEEKS for hosting on tumblr!

Emmrich from Dragon Age the Veilguard performs necromancy to animate a skull. Painting style is based on Leyendecker’s art deco character paintings, with very warm tones and a black background. Emmrich’s hands are raised, with turquoise magic flowing through his figures and through ye skull, which is levitating to about chest high. He stands in front of a podium, with candles to the left, and a pile of skulls sitting on a red cloth to the right.
