Description
I'm submitting this as a proper image since I feel sorry for those who have favorited the journal. While I really like most of the images (especially Hawke and Bull) I can see that I'm running more or less down the same track. It's not necessarily a bad one.ΒRelated content

That is probably the best one.

And I finally bought Dragonage origins, the ultimate edition GUNNA PLAYYYY

Isn't he gorgeous!
I'm so envious that you still have Origin to play. Awakening isn't half bad either.

He is
Yesterday I had some major feels after finally completing the circle of magi guest ;w; I ended up standing in the room with Cullen, Gregoir and the other templars and I refuse to leave XDDDDD I've also started reading the books

LOL, it's hard to let go.

Basically I've been photoshoping Cullen's face into the "good above" kind of photos of the sky. I'm going to hell. I've started with the first book, and I'm planning to read all of them. My friend tells me "The empire of Masks" is boring. RIP me. I've read all of the witcher novels, even The Storm Season ;wwww; I wonder if Sapkowski is working on a new book, or, if he'll ever write a new witcher book ;a;

I'm sure you'll so right to the Maker...
PS: Should not that gorgeous Cat image you made be your new icon?
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww... thanks? 
You mean the cat with multicolored eyes and horns? That cat doesn't belong to me, therefore I won't use it... besides, I like my current icon.. although I'm aware some people dislike ponies

The pony Is extremely sweet! I thought the cat was your latest image.Β
It's really a great book, but dark. Β I'm all in favour of ponys, we acually have our own the 'Gotlandsruss'.

It was inspired by dragonage tarot cards, i love them

I rode quite a lot when I was a kid. but now I have the same urge each time I get on a train or bus!
π: 0 β©: 1
When I was a kid, I loved horses. Each night I wished I could work with those animals, and have one as a best friend. But my family was poor, parents divorced, mother neglective and we lived in the capital. So no horses :I
The urge is killing meeeee, I find myself staring at the sky more often then I'd like to. I wish I had dreams at least. That would be sweet, if I could dream about traveling on horseback, camping outside and hanging with friends

I'm really sorry, but you are a bright and shiny person despite all.Β
The reason I spent so much time with horses is that I lived in a pretty rural area of Sweden as a child. I tried to get my own two into horses, but no-go.

You don't have to be sorry, but thank you
The fact that I couldn't get close to horses made me pick up a pencil and start drawing. Drawing horses became my greatest hobby. Sure, I wasn't great, but at least it lead me where I am now
Ohh Sweden. I have always been fascinated by nordic culture, and I'd love to move to Sweden, Finland or Norway one day ;; I want to live somewhere where I can watch the northern lights
π: 0 β©: 1
I realise I worded myself badly (english is not my language either). You are a bright shiny person -period! Double period!
I've lived most of my life in south western Sweden and I've never seen any Northern lights.

Awww thanksΒ Β
That's a shame ....but since I'll never have enough money, or language skills, I will never see them either

We are very good at English, and tuition is free if you manage to make the University entry.

But would I be able to catch up with native students? I would be pretty terrified, but it would be so amazing to study at an art school. Maybe I'd get to meet awsome artists like Minttu (her dragonage fanart is awsome). Maybe I'm not good enough.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh Yes! Minttu is fantastic. I love her art! She's Finnish though, and sadly I do not know much about their educational system.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Where has she been all my life? 
π: 0 β©: 1
She is outstanding, definitely! I love her work!
π: 0 β©: 1
Same here She's one of my main inspirations now

Some really great stuff here, you should be proud. Looking forward to whatever you do for 2016!

I didn't think I was very productive this year. Was pleasantly surprised. It's good to do these things sometimes.Β
I wish you the very best year yourself!

Some very interesting new stuff, and not enough of the boys... You have been experimenting more with light vs shadow I think.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hey! I manged to sneak in two Duncans!! And yes, you are probably right, there is more of a shadow vs light this year.
π: 0 β©: 1
Two is not enough, you know that! And only one Riordan, tsk tsk...
I'm always right, except when I'm wrong, which I never am.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'know. I'm a quivering jello of shame...
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, not really, but the sentiment is there...
π: 0 β©: 1
You know what you have to do...
π: 0 β©: 1
All very lovely! I really like your paint style!
If I did this it'd be "oh look another drawing of Dorian" lol XD
π: 0 β©: 1
And I would be...Oh no, another image of Duncan...
π: 0 β©: 1
Let me say that your 2015 artworks look excellent! 
BTW, I don't think it's bad if you feel like you are "running more or less down the same track" with these artworks: I like your painting style in general and I feel there's a good degree of variation between your works which ensures they don't look repetitive (assuming the risk of repetitive looks is what had you worried about going down the "same track"
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm always conscious, and perhaps over-cautious about repetition. This does make it harder to draw a new one, since I've this whip that says. it must be better than the last one. IDK, perhaps I should just relax a bit. The one's based Β on your models are still among the best.
