Commision piece for a friend! <3 We’re also playing toghether in CoS, glad to work on this funky little sorlock
Bunch of flat-colored commissions I did lately!
I've been watching some videos about plot choices in DA:O and DA2 that I've never seen, and Merrill has this amazing line in the Gallows at the end of Act 3, if you side against her and the mages. It speaks to everything I adore about her character, and sums up the central conflict of the entire Dragon Age series so poignantly:
"If I leave these mages to die, or I help you kill them, what then? Magic can't be made safe, and it can't be destroyed. Fear makes men more dangerous than magic ever could."
That's the thing I love about Merrill. Out of all the mages we encounter throughout the series, on both sides of the mage-templar conflict, Merrill has always been the one who, despite her flaws, or maybe because of them, understands the hard truths about magic that almost no one else seems able or willing to accept.
This line in the Gallows reminds me of another line she has, a banter line with Anders after Justice takes over and almost kills that one girl.
Merrill: Are you all right?
Anders: I nearly killed an innocent girl. How could I be all right? There's no definition of "all right" that fits this state.
Merrill: I'm sorry.
Anders: You're sorry? For me? This could be you. You could be the next monster threatening helpless girls.
Merrill: Anders, there's no such thing as a good spirit. There never was. All spirits are dangerous. I understood that. I'm sorry that you didn't.
Merrill understands that magic is not safe, and will never be safe. And until the rest of Thedas is ready to accept that, the mage-templar conflict will never end. Because until you can accept that there's no silver bullet solution to the problem of dangerous spirits and mages who choose to hurt people, you'll never be willing to do the hard work it takes to co-exist.

Fell in love with Al-Qadim setting wile I was dm-ing one-shots for my friends, so when we all decided to play again Curse of Strahd - I coldn’t resist urge to make character from Zakhara She call herself Isra, but in reality they are another person, Rana, who kinda possesed this dead body of their master, beloved and friend. It’s all complicated. But Rana still in this picture in person too - look at this weapon in hand and say hi :^)
Vash and Wolfwood as Katya and Trixie because I think they deserve to have some fun after the emotional disaster that was episode 11
The amount of time I spent on this is kind of embarassing
Can't belive I've never told you guys I have an One Piece OC who is like one of my main source of serotonin in almost a year now (he's much older than one year actualy, but I've got hyperfixated on him just year ago.) So have a bunch of my fav sketches of him A bit of info about him is under the spoiler
So yeah, meet Mortimer. He is a cook of Heart pirates crew. Dorky and playful guy, flirty, teasing, VERY affectionate to those who's he trust enough. But also have almost zero self-preservation, low self-esteem, very overprotective and easily triggered for violence (he geniunely tries to not to buuuut). He is a former celestial dragon's slave/pet (how unique, I know!) so yeah, it messed up his head pretty much.
Also ate zoan devil fruit, model eagle owl.
Feel free to ask things about him, I'd love to infodump :""^)
(Green-haired girl is @/mooseypersonal's OC, Sanai!)
Payment after rough sketch or upfront if you wish so. Feel free to message me if you are not sure about something
Reblogs also appreciated!
