Description

“One would think that in a nation like the Tevinter Imperium, where magic holds more power
than the most valuable gold in all of Thedas, hiding your true potential would be considered,
if nothing else, a strange practice. And yet there are those who, despite exhibiting signs of magic,
will pretend to be part of the Soporati, the so-called "sleepers”, just to hide from the Imperium’s watchful eye.

Does this start with some form of unrest in the social class of Laetans, mages born into non-magic families?
To be a Dreamer grants you riches in the Imperium, that is known, and for a Soporati family to finally have
a way out of the bottom of the ladder by procuring a mage child is a blessing, but what if there are those
who know true freedom doesn’t have a place in any part of the Magisterium? What lengths would those
parents reach to hide their child is a mage?”

—From In Pursuit of Knowledge: The Travels of a Chantry Scholar by Brother Genitivi

same, we'll probably have to wait until like 2030 or something. I read that what happened with andromeda wouln't stump production of the dragon age franchise but I'm still afraid they'll end up posponing the release because of that...

Yep, that's what I'm hoping for. I'm a little afraid they'll go overboard with quests and maps, but that's honestly every rpg nowadays.

You really have a knack for drawing faces. Are you self-taught?

i have some useful stuff here , here and here . additionally, this is one of the very first tutorials i followed when i was trying to learn how to paint properly (for some reason the video will start at a later point, just watch the whole thing). it's long but it really made me understand how color theory works. you can also study other artists' works, what colors they use where and take ideas/apply to your own work. hope that helps!
