Description A recent flaring of dragon age love has seen me revisiting my very first Warden, the rogue, noble Lärne Cousland, as well the influx of Dragon Age fanart into my favorites...

Anywho, Lärne just chillin' after Ostagar in her 'civilian clothes' because honestly, the Warden's a wanted criminal. Would you really wander around in your armor like nothing's wrong? Then you're a moron. Doggie's name is Berge and he is Lärne's faithful hound of throat ripping and face licking. (Like best dog I've drawn in years/ever.)

I WILL NOW SHARE WITH YOU MY ORIGINAL THEORY ON MY BITCH'S CREATION.
When I made her I modeled her after inuit face structure (loosely) not realizing her parents would be the whitest of white since I didn't know jack about Dragon Age at the time. So, seeing as she looks NOTHING like either of her parents I hypothesized, in my OCD attempt to make everything make sense always, that she is either the product of infidelity on her mother's part or adopted. In any case she was still treated normally by all, obviously since her father was all "pup this" and "pup that" throughout the origin story. I think it's cool to have that original spark too. I may never decide on exacts though. They're unnecessary really. lol

Whatever the case it makes her lack of prospects for inheriting her family's full fortunes more likely, her brother firstly being oldest and secondly obviously being the real product of the marriage. I just like being mean to her like this, even though she doesn't like being at the for front of politics at aaaaall. And now she thinks everyone in her fam is dead. Hahahaaaa

She's in a rp with two other wardens and they threesome about the land as the last three Grey Wardens in Ferelden, with no other of the original NPCs to add to their party... Fun stuff there. lol

I love how accurate the mabari is, and I'm seriously enjoying your DA kick. ;D I've been wanting to draw my DA stuff for over a year but you know what a lazy butt I am. |D Have to catch up on gifts and the like. O.o

Mabari are great in the game but they don't really look like dogs. lol So I thought I'd do them doggy justice.
You've got more resolve than I; I go off on weird kicks constantly. But I would definitely like to see your DA stuff also. It'd be damn awesome! xD

Yeah, they're very unusual. More like a mastiff / boxer or something. xD I shall have to give in to my DA fetish then.

I used mostly mastiff for reference since certain breeds were fighting dogs in the old days. But couldn't make him too saggy or fighting would be hard. xD
Do iiiit. *peer pressure*

You did really excellent at making her pop off the page and bonus points for the cross-hatching. <3 cross-hatching. That is what it's called right? Been awhile since art class . I also like her gauntlet and satchel thingies on her thigh .

Cross-hatching indeed, oh perceptive one. Thanks Eli! I was really fretting about giving her variety in hues. I guess since I was staring at it so long it didn't look like I had it. xD

Oh nice job with this pic! I love the attention to details! Heh I'm with you on the Cousland theory too. My Cousland is not white but both of her parents are which made me raise a brow the first time I played. I had presumed they would have altered the skin tone of one or both parents so as to suit hers. Seeing as they didn't I winded up making a back story that she was an adopted Rivaini child ^^

Why thank you oodles!

Yeah, I mean come on, this Bioware right? Couldn't they have spent a little time making a more intelligent AI if you're going to change the skin tone of your Warden? xD DISAPPOINT.

But then that does leave us with the happy prospect of dong whatever the crap we want with their back story before the origin, which I do quite enjoy. Me I lean towards the saucier explanations, but I like being undecided too. haha

Apparently I was just up for artin' today. lol
Pretty sure we all love the theory of her mom being a slut. Her dad doesn't seem to mind. Maybe they're freaks... 8U

Yeah she does go pretty crazy, but that's much later! For now we shall enjoy her less crazy. C:
And Berge loves you too.

SHE'S GOT TWO HANDS, ONE FOR EACH OF THEM. OOOoh yeah baby.
