My Anders cosplay that I’ve been working on for like two years is finally done! Used Autodesk Sketchbook to edit these photos. Absolutely RIP to the photo quality. Click to enlarge, you know the drill.

Update: just wore this to the Ren Faire and people loved it!

“Wow! If I had a nickel for every time I made friends with an emotionally unstable blue-glowing man with trauma and a chip on his shoulder, I’d have two nickels! Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.”

Finally finished my piece for the Handers Gift Exchange!

This is my gift for @kittyoperas!

I'd never say no to a good ol' vampire!AU... especially if it's Anders the one who's self control is hanging by a thread ╮⁠(⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠╭

I had a lot of fun drawing these two sillies in love—

I hope you like it! ✨

A toxic trait of mine is that sometimes when dragon age is going on about how many people died in the Chantry explosion my first thought is "it was just Hightown"

"you're laughing. An anarchist blew up a megachurch in the richy-rich mcmansion part of town, and you think it's funny." I mean, a little bit.

Top 5 pathetic Anders moments?

Avatar

Okay I started compiling my list so I could narrow it down to 5 but I came up with 16 so I’m going to cheat and just post my list as is in no particular order

  • Earnestly trying to get Fenris to bond with him over suicide ideation
  • Every time you make the most milquetoast pro mage statement and he looks at you like 🥹 with wonderment and love in his eyes
  • If you say you don’t want him to move into your house after sleeping together once and he starts acting like an 18th century lady who just had her virtue stolen by a charlatan who had promised to marry her
  • Asking to move into your house immediately after you sleep together once
  • Instantly falling for the first person to be nice to him mere hours after being forced to kill his ex boyfriend
  • Getting mad when Fenris won’t say he could be trusted outside of the circle and vowing to prove it to him
  • Ok the first time I played DA2 I was being dumb and accidentally chose the options that didn’t save Ella (which high key was so shocking and stakes raising it’s actually my recommendation for your first experience playing DA2) but I went over to Anders after that quest SOOOOO mad at him and he was so incredibly pathetic in the scene where he’s freaking out and trying to leave Kirkwall that I spent the whole time telling him it wasn’t really his fault instead of chewing him out like I intended
  • That act 3 dialogue where he tries to convince aveline that her husband is scheming against the Templars behind her back. I guess not pathetic if this is actually true but I earnestly believe Anders heard Donnic make one off hand comment once and then convinced himself of a whole story to try to get aveline on his side
  • Frankly all of Anders’ act 3 dialogue that’s just increasingly stupid and desperate attempts to get people to agree with him
  • Trying to convince Hawke to leave Fenris or Merrill has to be on this list bc it’s probably him at his most pathetic but they’re too far even for me those scenes are UNBEARABLE to watch
  • STARTING A WORLD CHANGING REBELLION AND IMMEDIATELY GETTING KICKED OUT BC NOBODY LIKES HIM
  • If you convince him to side with the Templars in 2 then in DAI Varric says that he got kicked out of kirkwall immediately after for what he did. Imagining that entire series of events makes me want to THROW UP it’s insane
  • Trying to give Varric a treasured and deeply sentimental possession of his to remember him by only for Varric to give it back bc he thinks he’s being weird
  • If you kick him out of the party but then side with the mages and he shows up at the gallows asking you to please take him back so he can help
  • The first time I took Anders on mark of the assassin and the wyvern immediately picked him out as the squishiest member of the party and bolted over to rip him to shreds instantly. I build Anders as mostly support and I wanted his effects on the rest of the party for the fight so I kept reloading my save to try to keep him alive longer than one second but every time the wyvern would go out of its way to brutally kill him at the beginning of every fight until I gave up. Being trapped in a repeating time loop where he is mauled by a wild animal as his friends are helpless to stop it is definitely a top pathetic Anders moment for me
  • When I was playing a pro templar Hawke and took him, Fenris, and Sebastian with me when we talked to Meredith at the end of that capturing apostates quest and Anders started mouthing off about this all being the Templars’ fault and everyone in the room started bullying the shit out of him

"You're a Failure, and your family died knowing it."

I finally finished it!

I got majorly distracted with only 2 sections of this left, and it gathered dust for a bit. But here it is! All the angst!

My Emmit Hawke, purple and unromanced. He's just very tired and never given a break, so might as well strand him in the Fade, right? (I love my Hawke, promise)

There was originally a part 2 that has a bit more of a hopeful tune to leaving him behind, but I dunno if I'll get to that. We'll see.

Downloading mods for Dragon Age 2 and the fact that both the "Aveline Improved" and "Sexy fair skinned Isabela' mods have over 100k downloads... How are so many people so weak and gross!?

My mental state has been quite poor during this period. Looking back at what I've recently drawn, I'm truly sorry if I've brought negative emotions to anyone. I plan to take a break from creating fan art for now. Hope to see you again soon if possible😇
