Round 1 — Match 52 / 77 — Volo Geddarm vs. Karlach Cliffgate

Volothamp Geddarm, or Volo, for short, is a Camp Follower. He can be first found at the Sacred Pool during Act One, interviewing a bear. Volo is a recurring character in Forgotten Realms⁠Forgotten Realms media and a returning character from Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.

vs.

Karlach Cliffgate is an Origin Character and a recruitable Companion who can be romanced by characters of any gender. She is a Zariel Tiefling and a Barbarian with the Outlander background. Karlach can be first found on the Risen Road during Act One. Once a soldier in Zariel's army, Karlach has been given a new chance at life after the recent events. Now, freed from Avernus, she will make the most out of it, and no one will get in her way.

"the second she starts doing the little “i’m free, i’m FREE” thing i was done for because she’s been through hell (literally) and her first instinct isn’t revenge monologue, it’s “can we go somewhere nice, can i hug people, can i dance, can i touch water without it boiling,” and it makes every other act 1 complaint sound pathetic. also her humour is so specific?? like she’s not “quirky,” she’s just a person who’s coping by being loud and honest and a bit unhinged. and when she gets emotional she doesn’t do the coy sadgirl thing, she goes full “I’M MAD ABOUT IT” and i love that. let women be angry and also sweet."
"Karlach brings me joy when I’m sad"

^^^ they killed him for making ugly art u have to make ugly art too or cesare died for nothing 😔

Round #3 — Match 20 of 26

Mythal

“mythal is peak dragon age to me because she’s worshipped as this protective, loving figure and then the deeper you dig the uglier it gets - betrayal, murder, vengeance. and the flemeth connection makes it even better, because suddenly this myth isn’t distant at all; it’s been walking around your story the whole time, nudging things, making deals, keeping something ancient alive through sheer refusal to die quietly. plus, any lore thread that leads you to a temple full of ancient elves who are still loyal and still grieving is automatically going to have me in a chokehold.”

vs. Sten

“i love sten because his vibe is “i have done something unforgivable and i will carry it” and then two hours later he’s stealing cookies from a child “for his own good”.”

Inquisition companion cards & Character Sheet for Zacharius Kazakh - the healer&support with dark past who eventually becomes a good friend to the Inquisitor Jim Trevelyan ( of @featherfangart ) as part of our beloved DragonAge run. (More yapps and info in alt text as always)

A huge applause for the wonderful @point-maitimo and this beautiful piece featuring my dear Rook/Magnus de Riva and Lucanis. My boys are looking amazing with this art style. I just can't get enough of their gazes and facial expressions in this. It's totally them.

Celebrating the new year with a selection of my Draw-a-long sketches. My drawing motivation went strong during the first half of 2025 and sank low later due to health issues. The Dragon Age: Draw-a-long hosted by @thehangedmancreatives on Sundays really helped me to get back into my sketching habit. (And it's a lot of fun to hang out with everyone there.)
