serpentsshipmate:

Se um dia alguém perguntar por mim
Diz que vivi p’ra te amar
Antes de ti, só existi
Cansado e sem nada p’ra dar

Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces
Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer
Eu sei que não se ama sozinho
Talvez devagarinho possas voltar a aprender

Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces
Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer
Eu sei que não se ama sozinho
Talvez devagarinho possas voltar a aprender

Se o teu coração não quiser ceder
Não sentir paixão, não quiser sofrer
Sem fazer planos do que virá depois
O meu coração pode amar pelos dois.  

Not only did I get a brand new microphone this christmas, I also found the instrumental version of this gorgeous song. I can never do Salvador’s version justice (I even had to change the pitch slightly), but I couldn’t help myself.
Go listen to the original. Trust me.

The different species under the family Dryaidae, more commonly known as Halla. Here we have wild and domesticated specimens, as well as some of the ceremonial garbs each Dalish clan adorns their halla with. 
I’ve been desperately trying to create something new, but the muse just hasn’t been on my side. I was looking through my old stuff just to see if I got inspiration, and realised I hadn’t uploaded all of these just yet. I wanted to add descriptions, behaviour and do a little cool “info sheet” on all of these, but I just don’t have it in me. 
Hope you enjoy these little guys! I still hope I’ll come back to them someday.

Newest WIP that will probably go in the “never finished” folder!
Yaaaay (●꒦ິ ̼‸꒦ິ●)

@lethendralis-paints did a little glow up to the little (unfinished) mermay comic I started last year, and she reminded me to share it properly this year!! Look how beautiful her colouring is!! It gives it a whole ‘nother level that I would never have been able to relay. Thank you SO so so much Lethy!!! This warms my heart~

A little love for Mermay!!! 

Growing old together - Part 2
Here’s part 1!!

More random facts!!

• They managed to escape after being captured by the Venatori, but Fenris had been exposed to red lyrium for too long, and grows weaker by the hour.
  
• After getting Varric’s message, Marian decides to gain leverage with the Inquisition and request their help in return for her assistance. She ends up getting stuck in the fade, but Varric makes sure they keep their end of the bargain. (I’m a sucker so everyone is alright in the end)
• After assisting the Inquisition as advisors, they leave for Tevinter, to seek information about Fen’s markings. Marian finds she’s pregnant shortly after.
  
• There’s a lot I don’t know about this period just yet, depends on what happens in the next game, but they mostly stay out of the whole “saving the world” business.
• They move to a remote forested area on the edge of the Dales. Only their closest friends know where their little hut is. I believe they’d have a magic barrier or something to avoid being accidentally found, but it’s a work in progress.
• Little Aengus is a blessing for them both - things get a bit more complex once he finds his connection to the fade though. He grows up to focus on healing and restorative magic!
• After old Bacon passes away, they adopt the puppies of an old stray Aengus had helped. I’m still working on their names, but they make things a lot livelier after Aengus leaves their little hut.
• They grow old and grizzled, and you can tear that fact from my cold dead hands.

Growing old together - Part 1
Here’s part 2!

Random facts I came up with while drawing these!

• Bacon was initially Carver’s mabari, but always had a very strong bond with Marian (and it drove him mad). She was always a very gentle, non confrontational dog.
• Marian participated often in some of the illegal fight rings in Kirkwall’s Darktown. She is a ruthless opponent and builds up quite the reputation - this is how Varric first hears of her.
• When they first meet, Fenris does not immediately ask for Hawke’s assistance in going to the manor. She’s the first person he goes to after finding out Danarius might still be in Kirkwall.
• Fenris leaves the city for a few months after learning of Varania, trying to track her down.
• After the events of DA2 they go back to Ferelden, but they’re eventually tracked down by Venatori and captured.

Penumbra, a small self-indulgent personal project

It was all painted in Photoshop, for anyone curious :)

Os sentimentos que mais doem, as emoções que mais pungem, são os que são absurdos — a ânsia de coisas impossíveis, precisamente porque são impossíveis, a saudade do que nunca houve, o desejo do que poderia ter sido, a mágoa de não ser outro, a insatisfação da existência do mundo. Todos estes meios-tons da consciência da alma criam em nós uma paisagem dolorida, um eterno sol-pôr do que somos. O sentirmo-nos é então um campo deserto a escurecer, triste de juncos ao pé de um rio sem barcos, négrejando claramente entre margens afastadas.

Não sei se estes sentimentos são uma loucura lenta do desconsolo, se são reminiscência de qualquer outro mundo em que houvéssemos estado — reminiscências cruzadas e misturadas, como coisas vistas em sonhos, absurdas na figura que vemos mas não na origem se a soubéssemos. Não sei se houve outros seres que fomos, cuja maior completidão sentimos hoje, na sombra que deles somos, de uma maneira incompleta — perdida a solidez e nós figurando-no-la mal nas só duas dimensões da sombra que vivemos.
