Tail, why are you always following me? I want the #box for myself. 

Remember when you first discovered Tumblr and you would scroll down your dashboard until you reached the spot where you left the day before?

I finally made a (mini?) giveaway as a thank you to all the nice people out there! Prizes may not be as awesome as I’d wish but I will probably throw in some more for the winners anyway bc I am soft and weak af (and maybe add 3rd winner picked by myself)

♥ 1st prize: a set of 5 charms OR 1 custom charm with your character (might it be Dragon Age, other game’s or just regular OC)+1 charm from my shop AND a traditional artwork sent to you with the charms!

♥ 2nd prize: digital waist up~

K no more bs, let’s talk rules: ✰ You don’t have to be following me but one of the winners will be someone of my followers (or my art only blog’s). That means, if the first person I randomly pick is not my follower, the other will be chosen only from my followers (hey, they put up with my crap, of course I am biased) ✰ Reblog and like however you please, all that jazz, I’m too lazy to check how many times you reblogged anyway ✰ ?? u have like 3 days to answer? and then if you don’t answer I will pick someone new (open askbox pls!)

ENDS 21st August 2015

K, so Alistair was probably born at the Weishaupt fortress because it would make little sense for Fiona to travel back to Ferelden close to her due date.

So, that means there were tons of Grey Wardens around when he was born. Lots of them. 

And he needed clothing, because you know, babies. They need clothes.

What if some of the Grey Wardens there knit or crocheted him baby hats with griffons around the brim with colorwork, or knit or crocheted him a hat that made him look like a griffon, with a beak, and feathers and stuff. 

And baby sweaters with colorwork griffons in fair isle bands. 

And dresses, as that was what all babies wore in times comparable to Dragon age, with a large griffon embroidered on the front.

And socks with griffons on them. 

Imagine it. Imagine baby Alistair at the Weishaupt fortress, being doted on by lots of older Wardens and being decked out in really cute griffon clothing. 

IMAGINE.

And since Grey Wardens have such a low fertility rate and babies are so rare, there’s not a single Warden in the fortress that doesn’t, at the very least, sneak into the room in the few moments baby Alistair is alone and coo into the crib.

When someone else comes in, there’s the magnificent sight of a grumpy old man leaning over the crib decked out in heavy plate and trying to be sneaky about it. 

Yes. YES.

Even the First Warden sneaks out of her office and goes into Alistair’s room and starts playing with him with his rattle. 

Until Duncan, who’d totally be the protective uncle who made sure the Wardens let Alistair sleep, came into the room and noticed her there and she slowly, without taking her eyes off Duncan set Alistair back into the crib and ran, literally RAN back to her office, because she can’t have her men know she was playing with a baby.

And Alistair, who likes being held, doesn’t have to worry about having someone to do that. There’s constantly a Warden there to hold him. 

And some of the formerly casteless dwarves, knowing no lullabies, instead sing him Dwarven drinking songs.

And some of the Dalish wardens sing him songs in elven that they know from their clans. And maybe one or two of them change their minds about whether or not elf-blooded babies have a right to be called elven.

Just imagining all these scary Grey Wardens crocheting hats…. *giggle*

It might explain why he thinks of the Wardens as a nurturing family?

they look meaner as puppies

omg

Not that anyone was wondering what it looks like to have Cullen straddle you on a desk, but just in case…

(sorry about the quality but you get what you get with flycam)

EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS REOPENED

2.5 x 3.5 inch sketch cards

Sooooo some of you may remember that my husband’s hours got temporarily cut during the summer. His hours are starting to return to normal, but we are still not recovered. Since I’d like to be able to buy groceries for my kids next week, I’m reopening my commissions! Yay!

I am offering portrait sketch cards, 3.5x2.5″, done in Copic marker on cardstock.

Pricing:

All commissions will be bust up. References must be provided for all OCs. 

My process is thus: I ask for half payment up front, at which point I will begin a sketch for your approval. Once the sketch is approved, the second payment is made. At this point any shipping costs are added to the payment, and the shipping address is included in the Paypal checkout process.

To make sure I don’t overbook myself, I open five slots at a time. When those fill up, I can put you on a wait list and contact you when I have slots available again. You can contact me through my askbox.

Yes, you can use the art you commission from me as your avatar. If you want to post it, I only ask that you credit me as the artist. I reserve the right to post commissioned art myself as well (that’s how I get new customers!).

You can see more examples of my art on my art blog, cheriedrawsthings.

Thanks so much. Signal boosts are HUGELY appreciated.

Four slots still available!

Me: *looking at pictures of Alistair*

Husband: *scowls* Oh, him still? What’s Alistair up to these days?

M: Babe are you still threatened by a video game character 6 years later? 

H: No!

M: Uhhuh. I should definitely not introduce you to Cullen or Solas then.

Windows 10 seems to have misplaced my DVD drive.  When I insert a game cd nothing happens.  When I go to just click on the damn drive to run it that way, it does not show any drive other than the c drive.  I am about to scream since my Ethernet card also seems to have died and I cannot connect on my PC, only this cheap ass tablet. *gross sobbing ensues*

The device manager shows the Ethernet card installed and “working properly”.  The lights on the port won't light half the time. I finally figured out how to boot in safe mode on windows 10 (not a fun time since the admin tools aren't there) and uninstalled then reinstalled the drivers but it still is a no go so I ordered a new Ethernet card.  It is the missing DVD drive that has me pissed off.  I will have too do more searching after I install the new card.  But trying to freaking troubleshoot in Windows SUCKS!!!!!

Just finished the last drawing, now my first giveaway is officially DONE!

mahayla224 carpe-cullen hope you like your prizes. :)

and for all my followers, THANK YOU SO MUCH! 

I love my prize!!!   It's so beautiful! And the way you created such an amazing picture based on my vague description is awesome!! You are a wonderful and talented person! Thank you again!
