Description A wild and seriously pissed off battlemaiden mother Cousland joins the fray!  Can you imagine anything more terrifying? I kept hearing Ripley from Aliens in my head when I was drawing her.  You know the scene I'm talking about.


We are slowly but surely making progress.  I have never enjoyed drawing armor and swords… I'll be honest, this series isn't helping. lol.  If the cousland insignia mysteriously disappears from Arlana's shield after a couple more pages, you'll know why.  That is a pain to draw.

Thanks, I do my best
My head-cannon has Thedas on Nirn as well, especially since they both have two moons.

Yeah, I admired the mothers in DAO much more than poor Leandra.

Yeesh, Leandra's story got DARK.  Probably the darkest part of any Dragon Age game in my opinion.

anesor In reply to RanmaCMH [2014-02-18 00:01:52 +0000 UTC]

It is hard to separate Leandra from her fate in replays.  It is troublesome that after her kids move away and she's disposable... just to put another squeeze on Hawke. (lady in the fridge trope)

You're back! *_*

And there's another piece of wonderful art, even if, as you say, it's hard to draw. We all believe in you! :3

Thank you!  I wish I could remember scenes from movies that would help with poses like these!  I hate having to make up anatomy all the time. -___-

Have you tried a 3D program? I use DAZ from time to time.

I haven't tried it!  How do you use it in your art?

olivegbg In reply to RanmaCMH [2014-02-12 16:26:56 +0000 UTC]

I sometimes model poses where there is a lot going on, like in this one (which I haven't made an image of yet)   

I also have a small tutorial in my gallery on how I used one fav.me/d58j091

RanmaCMH In reply to olivegbg [2014-02-13 06:43:46 +0000 UTC]

What a great tool!  Oh man, I would love that. Sometimes it's hard for me to get programs because I have a mac though, is that program mac friendly?


Great tutorial too, fantastic end result.


I'm going to add that to the list of a million things I want to do. ;___;

Don't use Mac myself but I'm pretty sure there's a Mac version. I downloaded a free version. Only drawback was that it only contained the 'Gemini' (the characters in the image) the idea is that you will want better models and they are NOT cheap. But for my purposes the Gemini works. I think I spent at least 3 days to learn how to use the application even to this basic level though.

I might have to check that out.  I need to figure out a better way to learn new things on my endless list of "projects I want to try out" list.  I still need to learn how to use my tablet!  Do you have any recommendations for good tutorials when it comes to digital art?

olivegbg In reply to RanmaCMH [2014-02-17 16:59:41 +0000 UTC]

Not really no. When I started using a tablet I drew more or less like I would have done in classic mode. Then very slowly learned to utilize the strengths of the digital media. Still definitely trying to learn and experiment.

MAMA COUSLAND!!!! Nope, there's not really anything more terrifying. Especially after you find Oren and Oriana. 


Hey, if it makes things easier to draw, you go right ahead and vanish the Cousland insignia. We'll understand.

RanmaCMH In reply to queen-scribbles [2014-02-09 08:42:34 +0000 UTC]

I was thinking about it and I think I want to give Eleanor her own moment to work out some of her righteous anger in a bit.  Still thinking about how to show it best…

RanmaCMH In reply to Krazzulimaii [2014-02-09 08:43:24 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!  I'm certainly trying.  I was pretty proud of that pose where she's turning to look back and her hair is flipping correctly.  It's really hard to find a reference for that.

Krazzulimaii In reply to RanmaCMH [2014-02-10 04:48:23 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that pose does look really tough. It worked out well, though. I like the movement in the cloth and hair
