Description Didn’t mean to take so long to finish them. Will be much quicker with the next pair. Wrex and Grunt most likely since I need to get some aliens in there.

For Miranda I basically took Morrigan’s look and tweaked it a bit, used her hexagon pattern from mass effect and incorporated it into the new look and added cerberus insignia. I'm imagining cerberus as a kind of rogue apostate organization that Miranda would be involved with.

And Jack’s just a crazy ass elven blood mage. Wasn’t really referencing any particular character for her so kinda just made her mass effect outfit more mage-like. Also I didn’t distort her face like the elves in Dragon Age 2 because I preferred the way they looked in dragon age origins ( I thought Zevran looked terrible with the wide eyes in DA2).

Nice! I like how you do a redesign of them and yet still have familiar elements making them different and yet recognizable.

yeah, I didn't like how the elves looked in DA2, HOPEFULLY they go back to the originally build of elves from DAO

I definitely agree that Jack should look like that.

Are you kidding about not refferencing anyone with Jack? Because I am seeing MERRILL written all over her!

I did look get the idea to do the face tatoos from Merrill, just meant her look wasn't directly copied, like the Miranda/Morrigan combo

I adore your Jack render.

The Dalish elf works for me, because it matches her character in all the right places: the tattoos; her petite stature ("Jack's small!" - Grunt) and her willful resistance to "domestication."

I love this series, although yes, I found jack as less of an elf. She's too... brutal. Really love what you did with miranda though.

PictureThisDeviant [2012-11-11 14:03:54 +0000 UTC]

Gotta say Jack is the last one i imagined as an elf, and something about her entire pose seems off (especialy her left arm).

But Miranda gets a +Fav. Love the Cerberus staff and the outfit

I love Mirandorrigan! Now I kind of want to see TIM as the leader of the Cerberus apostate cult. ^^ Maybe he's more of a Spirit Warrior à la Justice in Awakening.

TheDrowningEarth [2012-10-28 18:17:17 +0000 UTC]

Indeed. The elven redesign just made them look like Na'vi rejects - they didn't look as good as they did in the concept art. While I suppose they could have altered their facial structure to make them a little more distinguishable from humans, they kinda went in the wrong direction, if not overboard.

I also thought that the retcon giving the Qunari horns was a bit silly, seeing as none of them had horns throughout DA and Awakening.

I didn't mind the horns as much, horns just make everything look more cool though

I like how I loved Merrill in DAII, which is a blood mage, and I romanced Jack in Mass Effect 2, and she's also a blood mage in this version! It seems I have love only for blood mages! XD

Woah, jack looks like merril, if she was a crazy psychopath bent on murder.
I like how Miranda stays with the hexagons and cerby emblem, looks cool.

Oops I'm sorry. I just took one glance at her just before I posted my comment and thought she looked like a qunari a bit.

I think these are my favorite of this entire series. Of all of the others, this has the most of both elements. I love how you weaved the fantasy with the sci fi, especially on Miranda's outfit by implementing the hex design on the mesh parts of her costume. Brilliant.

Also, these two come the closest to resembling their sci-fi costumes without sacrificing the fantasy nature of the style and armor. Fantastic work!

thanks, though I'm going to go back and touch them up since I think they could use some better lighting/rendering, the first couple I did were very rough

My face is literally as I stare at this. Seriously, you've did a fantastic job turning these two into Dragon Age-type characters. I especially love what you've done with Miranda. Are those gold chains in her hair, or does she actually have streaks?

I love your interpretation of Jack (I never would have thought of blood mage for some reason, but it pretty much perfectly matches her personality) And the pose that Miranda is doing somehow manages to capture almost equal parts Morrigan and Miranda! Bravo

Both turned out pretty spot on. I have such a soft spot for Jack that I never expected to have back pre-2 release that this is a real treat.
