Description
My Bethany x Carver entry for 's Sacrilege Meme [link] .With this meme xX-DorianGray-Xx challenged us to create a work featuring one of several unconventional (if not outright taboo) pairings from the ME or DA franchises: I picked Bethany and Carver from DA2.
The title for this picture is a DAO reference and likely to elicit a frown by itself, but I couldn't resist the irony considering what happens to either Beth or Carver in the game's prologue...

Glad you like this one! This was my submission for the "Sacrilege Meme": all submissions there feature an... "unusual pairing", like Beth x Carver.
If you're interested you can take a look at the entries for the Meme from all the other users here: [link]

lol, the Ogre sure didn't expect that, but... well, you never know what goes through a Darkspawn's mind!

Thanks! And yes, that black shape behind them is an ogre (or at least its outline...)!

Thanks! Originally the view was supposed to show that the ogre shape pulled Beth and Carver closer for a kiss, but then opted for the current view to concentrate on Beth and Carver themselves!

Can't argue with you there... Guess that's what makes this pairing so suitable for the Sacrilege meme!

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
Dude, this is amazing! I had to MUFFLE my excited screams in my blanket to avoid waking up my neighbors! Woah. It's so sexy. I had no clue how good both of them actually looked together!
And it's so refreshing to see Carver rendered by you again! Fantastic!
Man, I really, really, REALLY dig that look / the aesthetic aspect of this pairing. And the red background makes it look even more forbidden.
I have to admit, it excites me a lot, knowing this is not legit, but seeing it in front of me... Oh lord. Hot siblings. (Plus, Beth's banter... "He used to nail me to the bed... on my braid.")
I love how you zoomed in, btw. It's almost a closeup, exactly like I imagined.
And I love how Beth's breasts are showcased here. She's got such a perfect body shape...
I actually kinda "dislike" Carver, but here he looks... I dunno, nice! I really like him on this picture.
I'm also fond of the warm color scheme, black, yellow and red... it really matches her scarf and his shirt. Well done, my friend!
Thank you loads for participating!

Your comments always have the really good effect of shaking off my doubts regarding the result of my work, thanks! I'm really happy this was actually so well received!
Guess you figured out when that line I used for the title is spoken in DAO! Also, originally the ogre shape was easier to recognize since I was using a zoomed out view. That allowed to show more of the background, including the ogre shape which was posed to make it look like it pulled together Beth and Carver for a kiss. Gave up this idea in favor of the zoomed in view which I felt was more in line with the other entries in the meme and focused the viewer's attention on the pairing without being distracted too much by the ogre.
Oh, and I couldn't pass on the chance to use Beth's model from Varric's exaggerated prologue... Thought that was fitting for this sacrilegious work!
BTW, guess Carver looks better than usual here because he's basking in Beth's Sunshine!

Interesting options... This is starting to feel like an inkblot test, but please don't ask me for an interpretation!
BTW, that's a darkspawn Ogre... you know, just to make the title more fitting!

Yes, that's a reference to the fact that one or the other is killed by the ogre during the prologue!
