Description

Alistair and F!Warden from Dragon Age: Origins. Requested full color prizeart for kamikamiya . The request was something cute and/or romantic regarding her Warden and Alistair, so naturally I had to put them on a loveseat, dressed-down and relaxing while making eye contact.

I was a little slow with this but once I got to the shadow under the sofa (and messed with it for 20 minutes straight without any progress except backwards) I decided it was done. :XD:

I am very easily frustrated with my own art.

As I was working on this, I had a thought regarding a new possible coloring technique, which turned out so awesome that I had to make a tutorial out of it! (For some reason I can't get the link to, y'know, be a LINK, so you'll have to look it up yourself.)

A lot of little things gave me trouble in this, not the least of which was Alistair's freaking FACE. :iconwthplz: I considered NOT doing the whole hairy armpit thing, but then I remembered that this is Alistair we're talking about. The guy who put on a disgusting, filthy sock because the one he was currently wearing was a little damp. Plus this is in a medieval era where people didn't follow personal hygiene all that closely. Somehow I don't think Alistair would shave anything beyond his face. :XD:

But enough talk about armpits and hygiene!

Warden (c) kamikamiya
Alistair, DAO (c) Bioware

I really wish dA would stop giving previews of each category based on the most popular submissions. It makes me feel horribly inferior. I'M SORRY I CAN'T DRAW LINK THAT WELL, STOP TORMENTING ME WITH AMAZING ART! /cry

Wait a minute...Kami once called Mass Effect a dating sim she had no interest in playing. Now I find out she is playing Dragon Age? Which is exactly the same as Mass Effect except in a fantasy setting? :confused: Something fishy is going on around here. :shifty: One day I will get to the bottom of this. Until then...

...this is a lovely picture. :iconblushplz: I think you definitely delivered on what was asked. There's something very soft and gentle about it. If they had been all :iconquagmireplz: then that wouldn't be romantic. That'd just be porn. :no: And I'm already behind on my porn updates. I don't need more thank you very much.

Also, you are way to harsh on yourself. The poses you chose are so well done and ridiculously difficult to execute. :faint: There's no way I'd go near poses like that because of their difficulty factor. So cut yourself some slack! :shakefist:
