space dads and biotic catfights

Holy cow, I said I was going to draw something and then I actually drew it! Amazing! Cortez and Vega with their adopted war orphans during the rebuilding of Earth. Being dads.

Also this quick sketch got out of hand. Angry Miranda backing Jack up against a wall and threatening to smash her face in, Jack expecting an underhanded knee to the gut...

... well, wasn't quite prepared for that...

... oh wait -

And then they do a sex against the wall of the hold. The end.

Stuff's kind of weird around here right now with the whole divorce mess, but I will say that we did finish season 2 of The 100 and there were indeed gays, although much less than I was expecting considering how much Tumblr was freaking out about it, but it was still a good time. Also, Matt reminded me that I could turn the difficulty down on Dragon Age: Origins whenever so I did and I finally made it out of Redcliffe Castle, praise the Maker. I might actually finish this game before I die. Oh oh and also, I bought the trilogy of Mass Effect novels the other day and I'm most of the way through the second one now. What delightful trash honestly.

Thing of the Day: my Etsy shop is open!

I finally buckled down and took pictures of all the jewelry I've made over the past several years. Today's thing is... dun da dunnn... my newly opened Etsy shop. Take a look!

The Faerie Outpost

I'll keep adding stuff as I finish it. Share the link with your friends! Woo!

Quote of the Day: "So if it catches you, does it eat you?" "No, it kills you."

so, Dragon Age

Not sure how I forgot to post all of these. Probably had something to do with the fact that I post my art to no less than three separate places on the internet and sometimes stuff slips through the cracks. Anway, here's more Dragon Age. 

Enna and her duster bro, Leske. I went with the dwarf commoner origin story just for the heck of it, and boy was it a wild ride. (SPOILERS) You start out as an indentured mercenary who's forced to work for this gross pimp because he has your sister, and he makes you and your buddy Leske break into this sacred dwarf tournament that only nobles can fight in, and you have to take the place of one of them and fight in his stead because shady betting and stuff. But of course they discover your treachery and you're gonna get the axe for "polluting" the holy tournament but the kind Warden Duncan saves you and asks you to come be a Warden with him. Well, obviously Enna was like "dude hell yeah let's get out of this trash heap" and waltzed off without so much as a tear for her sister... although I guess we did kill that pimp anyway so she was free to go.

But anyway. She's got better armor now than she did when I drew these, but you get the idea.

I wish the character creator gave you the option of kinky curls, but since it's pretty limited, I'll just have to pretend.

Ohhh my god, so, Morrigan. I didn't originally intend to make a gay Warden, but I tell you, when Enna first laid eyes on Morrigan, that was it, that was the end, it was too late. And the real pity is that Morrigan is not romanceable by a female Warden. Seriously? There are so many bi characters in this franchise and Enna manages to immediately fall for a straight girl. Good job, kid.

To be fair, Morrigan is voiced by Claudia Black, my all-time biggest actress crush (she also did a minor character's voice in Mass Effect 3), and she truly has one of the most attractive voices I've ever heard. And in this game, she's snarky as all hell and isn't afraid to voice her opinions on just about anything, regardless of who she might be offending. I love her. Also, that's her honest-to-god outfit in the game and she is heinously attractive. (Oh my god and when Leiliana was talking about putting her in a red velvet dress, I was like 0.p)

Oh yeah, and (MORE SPOILERS) I was pissed that we lost Duncan so early in the game, especially because Alistair was so messed up about it. I imagine that while he and Enna were staying at Flemeth's recuperating from the beating that ogre gave them, they talked about Duncan a lot.

I like Dragon Age so far, the characters are very engaging and it looks like the story is gonna be cool. I'm just not a huge fan of the combat. I feel like I have to micromanage everyone on my team all the time or they wander off and get themselves killed. Maybe I'll get the hang of it as I keep playing. Fingers crossed anyway. Right now I'm stuck in Redcliffe castle because I was stupid and didn't level everyone enough before going in there and now I'm just getting TK'd over and over by... the undead, I guess? Whatever. I just hope I don't have to load a really old save.

tablet crazy

Well, I'm kind of proud of myself for continuing to crank out arts with this tablet, especially since I tend to be really listless and bleh in the summer and sit around on the internet and accomplish nothing, like the lazy twentysomething I am. But yeah, another young colony kid Shepard holding an unidentified farming implement and pining for space.

Also, it occurred to me today, just in passing, that since acquiring this tablet I hadn't colored a picture of Jack yet, which is criminal because her tattoos are beautiful and deserve to be rendered in color. And then I sat down and knocked this out in one sitting. Because by golly if I don't finish arts in one sitting I don't finish them ever.

Neither of these things are what I've been intending to draw for the past several days, which is Vega and Cortez with some adopted kids post-ME3. We'll see whether that actually happens or not. Maybe this weekend.

Oh, and I just realized that I never posted this James doodle:

Or the finished version of the Garrus Down comic page:

Orrrr a whole stack of Dragon Ages stuff that I will save for another post, since there's a lot of it and I need to yell about that separately.

Only three more episodes of The 100 and then we have to wait for the new stuff just like everybody else. Sucks.

Quote of the day: "So yeah, my secret weakness is trashy space operas. What's yours?" *guilty face* "Slice of life comics."

so, real life for a sec

Check it out, I'm putting more crap on the walls in my room. Because I can. Also, I hung that star lantern from Italy myself with an electric drill and everything and did not injure myself or set anything on fire.

And it looks great. So there.

I think this wall is going to be my travel wall, where I put up stuff from my globetrotting adventures during college. And dude, video games totally count as travel. Especially games that take you to other galaxies thanks very much.

Also, and completely unrelated, I'm still figuring out new ways to wear my hair when it's this short. My hair doesn't like to slick back from my forehead on its own, so today I coerced it.

So there's a small slice of life for you. In other news, my mom and I got ourselves seriously hooked on The 100 and we're almost through the second season. It's so intense man. And I'm still waiting for gays. I was told there would be gays.

Rather Be (Clean Bandit ft. Jess Glynne) - Welcome to Night Vale

I have another KP-draws-to-the-radio for you! I like how this turned out.

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

When I drew this, Cecil and Carlos were still doing long distance and had been for about a year, so I decided this song was a good fit (and a good way to emotionally injure my boyfriend, you're welcome Matt).
