I love my Dragon Age character. I love her flaws, her mistakes, and her failures. She is everything human to me, and a creature who does not meet good ends.

She is something real to me, and my heart aches for her tragedy. She suffers, she loves, and she feels.

This is for her.

It's a beautiful portrait and it breathes sadness and tragedy, even if you don't know the story behind it.

I have one minor complaint, sorry: Her ear is so prominent I find my eyes drawn to it all the time, even as I desperately tries to look at her face. It's almost frustrating. I don't know what could be done about it since she's an elf and they have prominent ears. Perhaps, leaving it more in shadow or subtly change the shape, making it more narrow at the top meaning it would look smaller even if it isn't or shift it slightly towards the right and away from the centre of the picture?

Your painting is getting better and betterβ€”you can see the form in her face, and the soft grainy texture is wonderful. I think your love for this character came out in the painting.

My God, I don't know what's more heartwarming, the picture or the Artist's Comments. It's beautiful to see you so attached to your DA character. I love mine too.

As for the picture, she is absoutely lovely. I love her hair, expression, and the contrast between her skin and the lighting. Is she Dalish?

Thank you so much. No, she's not Dalish. She's a Circle Mage originally from the Alienage of Denerim, though it doesn't show much lol.
