I’m so happy to finally share the piece I did for this year’s Black Emporium Exchange! I was assigned to draw something for @keita52. I did this Isabela/Josephine art following the idea of a post-trespasser setting in which they kind of ‘go pirate’. This pairing is so soft and precious and I’m glad I could get to draw them. <3
just discovered a massive plothole. the animal Movran the Under chucks at the walls of Skyhold is a Ram, which the wiki and codex entry for it describe as a sheep. in the judging scene Josie says its a goat
Ok but consider: Josie is wonderful, sparkling, erudite and about as far from a country bumpkin as a person can be. Her family were oceanic traders and currently rely on owning vineyards and extensive city properties. Mind, it’s also possible that her first language is in fact Antivan rather than common.
I think it’s more likely that our sweet, cunning Josie may be able the play the great game as easily as she breaths, but also has at least once referred to a piebald horse as a cow and was shocked and shamed when someone finally informed her that a ram was notin fact the same thing as a goat.
However, the Vicomte De Melun, in his delight, revealed several secrets. The implication that he is having an affair with his stepdaughter? We can certainly use that against him.
I can destroy Caralina’s marriage with four words and the proper glove left on the proper table.
a connections + secrets tarot card? a very bisexual gossip session? you decide. this is a sketch that got out of hand but I’m very glad that it did <3
[ID: A dark scene set inside a tent. The unconscious Inquisitor is tucked into a sleeping bag, Solas performing a purple spell over them that acts as the main light source. On one side, deeper in the tent, the advisors huddle together. Josephine lays on Leliana and Cullen watches over the Inquisitor. On the other side, Dorian stands in the open flap of the tent also watching over the Inquisitor. There is a snowstorm visible outside. End ID.]
This series started as a way to get me comfortable illustrating different skin tones & to build up palettes for all the characters. But I’m finding myself really digging doing the quick portrait sketches.
Wicked amounts of neutral. Still do not know which option I prefer, they are all unstable in different ways. At least the cooperation version keeps them all relatively alive.
Follow up to this, I suppose. If HoF came to teach the Inquisitor to fight the Breach. I just can’t move on from Cullen x mage Warden. I suspect the Warden would tease Cullen mercilessly, even if she’s already in a relationship. Oh well. (Also, I don’t know why I thought it was a good idea to draw Josephines necklace again??!)
I named my cat Josephine because of Josie Dragon Age and my other (male) cat Jesse after Not Jesse Anymore Overwatch. Well if they can retcon the cowboy’s name I can retcon my cat’s name inspiration too - Jesse Faden Control.
