Hello everyone, sharing with you this evening (oh god it's 3am again) a painting I've done of Cullen from Dragon Age. I have loved him since the first DA game when I played a tower mage, and I think his romance in Inquisition is one of the most well-written RPG romances of all time. (Well, him and Solas, what a rollercoaster that one was, to put it lightly lol)

Dragon Age is a comfort game series for me, just like Baldur's Gate so I hope there are some of you in the same boat! I'd really like to paint Alistair, Zevran, Morrigan, and Solas, who are my other faves. I am about to stoke decade old flames here and mention that I actually don't really like DA2 very much, and tragically and to very many people's dismay, Sebastian was actually my favorite companion from the game (hearing the booing and feeling myself being pelted with invisible tomatoes lmao)... So uh, probably no Fenris to much shock and awe. I'm sorry, he dumped me my first playthrough! I might could be swayed some day because he does have a fire character design, but we will see. 

Anyways, I'd love to know what other RPGs you guys enjoy and if any of you are also Dragon Age nerds. :D

Hope you all are well!!

This is gorgeous! I'd love to see Zebran from you, he's my absolute favourite DA romance

Ellie

!!! I love this!

Thank you!! I've been imagining something obnoxious for Zevran, just love him to bits.

kosch

Omg I would die for a Dragon Age series!! 😭😭 (You should absolutely give Fenris another shot since you adore Astarion! He's a hoe but he's a loveable ho) (Also go tf to sleep 👀)

kosch

Also forgot to add that this piece is GORGEOUS!!

feyspeaker

Thank you!! I think I've played all of the romances for all 3 games at least once at this point (and read all of the novels... and the comics... I'm a mess okay?), I just never could really get into Fenris for some reason! I think it's just because I don't love DA2 in general, I'm sorryyyy ;A;

Maya

Dragon Age is also a comfort video game series for me, especially Inquisition which I have more than 1000 hours sunk into. 🫣 Also I'm so glad you love Sebastian, he's so overshadowed in my opinion compared to the other DA2 companions. I know she's not a romanceable companion but I think Vivienne would look stunning in your style, Lily! 🖤

Scarlet Wings

YES! I LOVE CULLEN! his character growth across the 3 games is NUTS! His hair also had a bit of an arc all on its own XD (I'm looking at you DA2) I'm also looking forward to more of your Dragon Age art. Mass Effect, Witcher/Thronebreaker, Dragon Age and BG3 are my favourite games/franchises.

Hannah

I think Zevran would strongly approve of being obnoxious!! He's the greatest

Jay

OH this takes me back. I wrote a lot of Cullen-centric fic back in the day. Had an ask blog with an artist friend as well. Glad to see another Sebastian enjoyer!

Paige Miller

Mass Effect and Dragon Age were the best. I loved all the BioWare games since KOTOR. Too bad they are a shell of what they used to be. I used to romance Morgana and Liliana but the last game is all Josephine.

Bunnidarling

I second this. The OG traumatized elf that uses sex as a coping mechanism

Erin Lemons

Oh maaaan! That back lighting bouncing through Cullen’s hair is so niiiice! I always have had a hard time balancing lighting when it comes to BLONDES! And this is someone who is literally a blonde! I do like the fact that you mixed your white lighting and yellow lighting in there! It works really well!! Like he just got done with a large amount of paperwork and is finally taking a break. Ugh—beautiful as always my friend ❤️ keep it up!!

Blodreina

Cullen! I loved him in Dragon Age! Such a beautiful piece! That back light is incredible! Amazing!

feyspeaker

blonde HAIR: bane of my existence lmao! I don't know what it is, it's like the yellow tones are just so finicky in cooler lighting, I basically blocked in the neutral local color and then layered up color+screen+color dodge layers over it to get the lighting for both sides where I needed it. I have to rely on effect layers to get the colors right- it always turns out bad if I try to rough it alone. I love painting white hair and black hair, darker tones in general, but I agree that blonde is just a total pain in the butt. Thank you!! I was hoping to give that little moment of rest vibe- I kind of imagined for this piece that he's just woken up at like 4AM for training drills, but he's happy because he's heard news that the Inquisitor is coming home from a trek that day and he's excited to see her again. ;A;

feyspeaker

Thank you!!!! I really wanted to try my hand at a warm light/cold light combo- I just love the coziness of warmth mixed with cold snow... oh I am FEELING this winter season lmao

feyspeaker

I have not played Enderal but I have heard wonderful things!! I'm slowly trekking through my first Skyrim playthrough with the Kaidan follower mod, and I think I will add Enderal to my list to finally give it a go. I have to be honest almost all of my most beloved RPG experiences are either heavily modded or with overhaul mods so it's absolutely up my alley. I don't know if you've ever delved into Neverwinter Nights and custom modules but there are some gems in there as well.

feyspeaker

oh my god I didn't know Enderal had ROMANCE, why have you done this to me I cannot be running 2 "skyrim" playthroughs at the same time!!!!! brb disappearing for a month

feyspeaker

KOTOR!! I love old Bioware games but I will say that I am I guess in the minority in that I really liked ME Andromeda as well. Older Bioware has that kind of grit to it though that sadly seems to be gone- I really miss that era of RPGs in general, they just used to have a little more tooth to them somehow. Games are a little too shiny- I miss when you could feel the kind of soul put in by smaller dev teams. I think the Pillars of Eternity series does a good job of it, though, if you've never played. You might like Xoti's romance in 2, she has a little of that DA:O Leliana vibe imo.

feyspeaker

Oh really?? That's awesome!!! I used to run a Cullen themed blog for YEARS haha. I wrote fic but I never post any of my writing lol. And, hooray!! I felt like it was fighting words back in the day to post about liking Sebastian lmao, I just liked him and I thought his romance was unique!

Paige Miller

I’ll check out that series. I loved Bastilla from KOTOR. I didn’t like Andromeda because the characters felt bland (how was Cora not gay?) and I encountered bugs. Give me some more Ash please!

feyspeaker

Yeah talk about a glow-up haha!! You know, I couldn't really get into The Witcher! I don't love RPGs with set protagonists, and I always play as a female PC so I didn't vibe with it. I just wanted to play a game as Ciri and find hot elves to smooch... I would definitely jump on it if they ever made one with her as the lead.

feyspeaker

Hahaha, it's such a great game!! I think I've played Origins more but Inquisition is close behind. I found Dragon Age during a lonely time in my life and it really became something special to me. Same with Mass Effect- I think I binged as many Bioware games as were out at the time to forget about my troubles haha. I LOVE Vivienne! She was almost always in my party- absolutely a slept on character IMO, I loved her arc and friendship.

feyspeaker

I really liked Jaal and Peebee but I get what you mean, I think that it definitely was lacking that party chemistry that makes Bioware games so loveable for sure. I definitely recommend PoE, the first game doesn't have romance but the companions are all very memorable. It's an extremely lore-rich series and a love letter to CRPGs of olde for sure.

Maya

Oh, I entirely understand that as I had similar circumstances that had me latching onto games like Fallout 4, Inquisition and Mass Effect Andromeda, haha! I normally always play as a mage so for party composition's sake I rarely had two mages but Vivienne was such a delight and I very much agree with her being a slept on character which is a shame because her friendship when she has high approval is so sweet!

Scarlet Wings

I was so stoked we could romance cullen in DAI. He ran away from my warden cause I didn't realise that "I want to get to know you better" is equivalent to "sex me up baby!" Fingers crossed the new Witcher games they are working on has a female lead then. :) You do get to play a little as Ciri in W3 but it's a comparatively smaller amount of time to Geralt. I'm working on a fanfic for witcher where did loads of research, female witchers are cannon, just really rare.

Narttu

I played the first Dragon Age game waaaaay back not long after it was released, and loved it. I have Inquisition but I still haven't gotten around to playing it yet. I'll get there eventually lol Anyways, just wanted to say I love this, and really, I'm happy to see anything you want to share with us, doesn't matter what the subject is. BG3 art brought me here, but I plan to stick around because I just love your stuff 💜

D'Artagnan Wayland

A wonderful artwork idea and you did so well on the armor from the metallics to the fur lining. And it's always good to see an artist create their own desires

Órëhúna

I still haven't played this game... even though I'm obsessed with it lmao xD

Natalie Moore

Same games + Neverwinter Nights :3
