Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Click to make bigger Welcome to the gun show. Alistair with my Wraden, Eleanor (Nora) Cousland [I accidentally named her after her mother...and then I cut my hair in the same style as her] I just finished playing Dragon Age origins and have been in the mood for some fanart. I messed up on the colouring and Alistair’s face, so hopefully the next one will be better.
Forever convinced bg3 is just dao for a modern audience. Here's my reasons as comparisons between party members:
Morrigan/Shadowheart: trauma goth girls
Leliana/Shadowheart: religion + flowers = adorkable loser that's obsessed w/you
Alistair/Wyll: precious cinnamon rolls that are too good for the rest of us (but with ✨secrets✨)
Alistair/Gale: will kill you with awkwardness and kindness (and maybe cheese)
Alistair/Astarion: pretty hair bois
Zevran/Astarion: elves with KNIVES and sexy accents
Sten/Lae'zel: dude with big sword that doesn't understand local customs
Dog/Scratch/Owlbear: this one's obvious
Wynne/Jaheira: easily the smartest person in the group, will totally judge when you fuck up, gives great mom advice
Leliana/Karlach: would definitely love to shop together, Karlach would prob think Leli's sense of style is nuts tho (she seems more practical to me idk and we all know what Orlesians are like)
Morrigan/Halsin: turns into bear, is scary
The city burns. The archdemon’s roar shakes the earth. At the heart of the battle, Genevieve Cousland stands at the edge of fate, knowing there is only one path left to take. The Calling whispers in her blood, in her bones. There is no future beyond this moment - only the choice to make her death mean something. She carves her way toward the end she always knew was waiting for her, and when the time comes, when steel and fire and destiny collide, she does not hesitate.
Far behind her, King Alistair watches as the woman he loves disappears into the storm. By the time he reaches her, it is too late.
Soil in the dirt, blood to feed it, bones to build it, flame to purge it. In war, victory. In peace, vigilance. In death, sacrifice.
Umbra 🛡️
Oooo good one. Well, she is very guarded, especially with her mind. She feels like if anyone knew what was in her head, they'd look at her as a monster (and a recent villainous role in a play made her wonder if the weeks of being immersed in the role would push her to become like the character). But she goes on the offense when someone talks about it. And her mind is overshadowed by so many things. Here are a few little snippets where this is showed
-----
“Umbra, I know what you fear.” Umbra’s expression darkened. “But listen to my words, for we have little and waning time.” She stood still as a monument, her eyes avoiding his. “You fear what effect this role, this woman, may have upon you.” He knows. Umbra was in shock and she felt a tear on her face from realizing the sheer awfulness this thought seemed to carry. Out on the stage, she heard the lines close to her queue
-----
She grew angry with him, and whipped around to meet his desperate gaze with her cold, dark, blue eyes. The fierceness seen there made Alistair falter. He glanced at his hand gripped around her arm, then quickly released his hold and stepped back. Umbra did not speak, but in response to his plea only drew back the curtain staunchly, and walked out onto the stage, letting her role sink into her, to spite Alistair. But also, to her, to show that he was wrong about what he said was in her mind. She felt the eager eyes of the large crowd upon her, and she relished it.
-----
And yeah this is at the beginning and she makes some mistakes (for a reason). She has much to learn
So you guys I thought I had posted this weeks ago but apparently I didn't soooooo here is this thing
This was an artfight attack that I did on @meadow-roses character Alisdair (from a collab story) meeting my character Alistair (I thought it would be funny for them to meet because of their name similarities), and Ellie is in the background:0 (a character from @masterfuldoodler but the same story, if thats how it works lol) (although I feel like she doesn't look quite right) But I didn't realize when artfight was ending so it was too late to post it lol.
It was really fun to draw though! I love your characters
Also I wasn't sure how protective Alisdair would be of his sword and this is what pose came to mind sooo Alistair is admiring it (hope thats ok) ...But I kinda think they'd get along well and pretty quickly

Alistair: you remind me of life
Umbra: *sarcastic voice* why because i'm you're life?
Alistair: no because life is short
Umbra: ...
mornings. You know who loves mornings? Alistair. You know who hates mornings? Alistair
btw if you are curious about why I get interrupted so much it's because of my character named Osage
and like so many others. they chit-chat. Even Umbra and Alistiar but they're usually hissing at each other or some random junk
