Description
This is a bit of indulgence for my Mahariel, Faylen. I wanted to do a small story for before she was chosen by Duncan as to her motivations in the game. I like Merrill's expressions. ^_^This is the first time I've drawn an entire comic like this digitally. I still have a lot to learn, and I'm still trying to find an inking technique I like with Photoshop.

don't only Mages become Keepers? Merrill didn't really have competition

I did this comic before DA2, and before it was revealed that only mages could become Keepers, so it's a bit outdated.

oh common, spoiled a little bit what merill say about her please, i'm so curious

Not much, actually. THey talk about Mahariel, and say she was taken away by a Grey Warden, and that's it. I think BioWare couldn't do much else because each playthrough is so personal.

well, at least it still better than my warden,she is city elf,almost no one talk about her beside Ander, Oh common, i save the world just 3 year ago yet no one talk about me. Bravo Bioware,now that is something worth to write a comic about ( talk in sarcasm tone)

Yeah, I noticed that. The only reason I felt that it was my Warden was because she was Dalish. I hope DA3 has more to do with the Hero.

well, we all know what happen in DA2 isn't it, I never play as Dalish but i can clearly see that her chose ... are s*ck

Yep! I think Merrill was given to her at 3 though; I didn't know that when I made this comic. Still, Faylen might not have been a good Keeper either. XD

I can definitely see the difference between this and how you work for LaSalle's Legacy, but not in a bad way for either. I look forward to seeing you play more <3
And yes, the expressions are delightful :3 like "What do you mean, 'why me?'!"

I'm trying for a different feel for both, though I'm pretty sure doing this is going to influence LL as well. Plus, I do LL in MangaStudio, which I like inking in better so far.
Thank you! I loved doing that expression.

Sometimes a different project brings a bit of freshness back to the long-running one ^_^ My work with Cassidy helped me decide to shade my backgrounds in Annie, and I think it turned better.
I can tell XD

It did! I'm loving the backgrounds in Annie. It makes for more depth. Plus, I love your painterly style.

Aww, thank you ^_^ I like what it adds. Not I just have a few people pestering me to plunge into full color ~laugh~
I'm really glad the painterliness works :3 I'm always on the fence about how much texture to leave visible, but I like it better than being perfectly smooth.

FULL COLOUR!!!!!
Texture makes it less sterile, methinks. I like having textures in my digital paintings too.

Pretty demanding of a free web publication, don't you think? ^_~ ~laugh~ I plan to use more color once I've kicked up my speed a bit more. I know Issue 5 will be a full color issue.
And I agree. One of the goals for a traditional painter is to obscure the brushstrokes, but for digital, it adds life to the painting.
