i knew i said i would be more active but i was kinda busy with school, but now i've gotten my winter break so i think now i should be able to post more often.
this was a prject for art class where we had to draw what we wanted for christmas, got the highest grade on it!
i was planning to post this earlier but i kinda fell asleep, my sleep schedule is absolute bs at this point but im tryna work on it, kinda.
oh yeah the drawing, gonna talk abt it now, its based on that one kirby twitter image they posted for christmas, i think it was the 2018 one, not sure rn. dedede just put on a belt, thats it, he already looks like santa, bandee is all in spirit with an elf costume and meta had to be begged by bandee to at least put something holiday related on.
sorry its blurry, i couldnt get a better pic no matter how i tried
we also did something similar for halloween
Tumblr media
btw marx and mags kissed after this, trust me im the moon.
i dont really have my gijinkas defined aside from kirby, marx and bandee, tho im starting to try to redesing them, but yeah, meta, dedede, and mags could change (i mean, mags already changed here, i used to draw him with short brown hair, but i like this hair better) dunno if it easy to understand, i suck at explaining stuff
i also finished magolor epilogue today at like, 4 am in like 4 or 5 hours and maaannn i loved it, i want to replay it from scratch but i dont wanna delete my save data nor have to replay all of story mode in another save file. i have all stages platinum except hydriath, who is on gold (i swear i'll get you one day!) no matter how i try i can never keep my combo long enough for platinum. when i finished it, i felt kinda empty ngl i wanted more, but didnt feel like trying extra mode or doing the challenges, or really anything i had left to do in krtdldlx
so i checked my ao3 cuz it had been a week since i had and remembered that i had a draft i wanted to post that i only had there
i lost the draft
so i just check my favourite tags and oh look there is another addition to my favourite series there, but i think this is for another time, better when i post a fanart of it

Silly Sakura Stuff
~My introductory post is supposed to be a simple description of myself and what I do, but it is outdated and dry :/ So now, I'll take the time to make a more clear 'About me' post and then later update up my pinned post :)
Interests - (Described)
(Some have been mentioned before)
•Playing piano. I've mentioned it a couple of times already, but it just shows how much I really love it :)
•Jigsaw puzzles. In my free time, I like to play the ones online rather than physically go and buy one hehehehe but still :3
•Drawing. This one's obvious :0 I've improved a lot digitally over the time I've spent here, although my traditional art is... not the same😵‍💫
•Listening to music while doing nothing but think of scenarios in my head to fit with it. This one is self-explanatory and I'm sure everybody has done it at least once >:)
•Creating story prompts. Though I absolutely hate writing in real life, I still love to think of stories to never use ever again🥰
•Interacting with my mutuals, or in other words, my silly geese as I like to say. Again, this one is pretty self-explanatory, but I loved messing around (@cloudymistedskies ) and being tagged in silly games and whatnot ;)

Enthusiastic about- Listed and Why
•Those of you who have my discord, you can see my display name is literally 'Kirby Enthusiast'. I've always loved the Kirby series and everything about it from the designs of the game, music, characters, and the variety of places you can explore within the games🌸🩷(If you want to, my discord name is 'silliestsakura' if you want to add me <3) 🩷
•The Toilet-Bound Hanako series. Again, a lot of you (@theyluvsmilo and @yuichiroleftarm ) might know how much I actually loved the show and every single character ever. There certain characters I am intensely enthusiastic about (again, @yuichiroleftarm might know who I'm speaking of💀) But I could talk about it for hours👻🚽
•These two things specifically are things I could talk about forever, but there is some other things I like a lot, just not as much as these :3
Real Life details about Myself- Briefly Listed
•I'm actually aroace, but still, there are some characters I cannot speak regularly about without turning into a crazy fangirl simp💀
•Not too long ago I found out and got diagnosed with dyslexia, so sometimes I don't make any sense at all with spelling and grammar. It's my main reason for using autocorrect as well :)
•One of my parents is Japanese, making me part Japanese also🇯🇵 It's just a little fact I wanted to share❤️
•I'm a terrible public speaker🗣️ I don't like speaking in front of large groups, but online is a way different story as you all can tell.. I am a completely changed person online🫣
Favorite Characters-
❤️-Demon Slayer-❤️
•Obanai Iguro- I love his design and his character, personality, and backstory. I think he's a very well written character and has a lot more to him than being in love with Mitsuri🐍
•Kanao Tsuyuri- I also think she was well written and was really pretty and stuff, y'know :)🦋💜
•Muichiro Tokito- At first, I was drawn to him and literally fangirled over him for a really long time and read fan-fics about him💀 But then the energy died down a little bit :0 I still like him tho💙🌁
☂️-Komi Can't Communicate-☂️
•Komi Shouko- She reminds me a lot like myself with her social anxiety (expect mine isn't that bad) The show was really cute and she was probably my favorite because of.. everything :D
•I don't really remember a lot of the other characters, but I also thought Tadano was pretty silly and stuff heehe >:)
🔥-Chainsaw Man-🔥
•Pochita- Pochita is so silly and cute and silly and cute and I loved him.. Pochita is also very important so that's another reason aside from his silliness🧡
•Kobeni and Power- I thought Kobeni's whole reason for becoming a devil hunter in the first place was really sad and I felt bad for her, and I also just loved her scared and silly view of things. Power on the other hand is a character I love for her energy and personality. I was originally planning on being her for Halloween while my sister was going to be Makima, but things changed and she chose something else🥲
•Aki (forgor last name)- He's very bbg. All I have to say🔪🦊
🔪-Toilet-Bound Hanako-🔪
- (Warning! Simp Sakura up ahead!)
•This is what my mind is focused on 3/4 of my day. Just this show.. Do be warned, for all of my simp emotions will be taken out (mostly) on the upcoming list..
•Amane Yugi/Hanako- Loved both of them equally, given that they're technically two different people, but Amane holds a special place in my heart. His story was sad and traumatic, everything a good main character needs. Design, voice, story, character relationships, all of it. I love him❤️
•Kou Minamoto- Trying my best not to get too wild right now.. Literally every character in this show had an amazing English and Japanese voice, and he was probably one of my favorites. He is veeery bbg and deserves all of the love🎴
•Mitsuba Sousuke- Only @yuichiroleftarm knows what I mean when I say I love him.. The literal second he was introduced, it was like almost all of my mutuals with Muichiro.. Trust me when I say you don't wanna know how much I really love this guy.. I've said some things none of you guys will ever know🩷💀
•These are my top three, but if you ask me, pretty much everybody in the show is fine asf (Sakura swearing?) Still though, this probably surpassed my first love for Demon Slayer I'd say.. Still love both tho :')
------------------------------------------------------------
Closing Out
•This took way longer than it should have, but it was fun getting to write down a much more specific description about myself! Have a great day and stay safe out there :)))

Who wants to hear about my newest niche 2k3 crossover(/AU)? No one? Great! Let's get going.
Pokemon in general really puts a crimp on my whole 'You can cross almost anything over with 2k3' thesis, but that's because it's its own distinct thing outside of the fantasy kitchen sink that 2k3 represents. In this case, though, I think it could be fun to adapt the Subway Bosses as characters who fit in 2k3's world, since they do have the common ground of being based in New York.
They're humanoid gargoyles. We'll get back to this point.
Their creation coincides with the establishment of Grand Central Station, which they were initially made to decorate. They came to life when both a) they were complete and b) the station was operating.
Ingo was completed first, so they consider him 'older' even though they gained sentience at the same time. They were made out of the same materials by the same artist, who worked on them simultaneously to ensure that they matched-- so, in their minds, they're twins.
They work for the subway system, mostly on night shifts. While they're capable of functioning during the day, it's harder on them; they get tired quite easily and it's more difficult for them to move. Sometimes they require mobility aids during the daylight hours.
Absolutely adore the subway and how far rail transport has come since they woke up. It's more the mechanics of it that they like and less the current implementation, because both of them have scathing takes as to the 'current' (mid 2000s) state of things.
Have been around since the 1900s. Might be vaguely aware of the shit that went down re: Volpehart. Seem to have some awareness/connection to Y'lyntis, but deny having been made by Y'lyntians.
Capable of molding rock as they see fit. As their bodies are a living rock, this means they can effectively shapeshift. They chose to look the way they do, and were initially sculpted with different-- less human-- forms.
Will generally mold themselves into forms including long coats. These are reshaped wings, and while they're capable of going without, they're far more comfortable with them at the ready.
Can color match to really sell the illusion of humanity, but contact reveals that they're clearly stone. They're pretty touch averse.
Their sentience is related to the specific type of crystal that brought Kirby's drawings to life in The King; they're just a different art medium. Nobody put their crystal hearts in them-- it seems those were just naturally occurring in the stone they were carved from-- but they can't function without them, and would revert to being regular statues.
Are incredibly aware of the turtles' presence. They're the ones who cleaned up after/covered up subway-related incidents like in The Golden Puck, All Hallows Thieves and Hun on the Run. Emmet's not holding a grudge, but he is keeping a tally.
(I like the idea that, as of s4, they're aware of the outbreak mutants, but like... they've seen weirder, and aren't personally at risk, being made of rock. In fact, the concept of illness in general is kind of an abstract thing for them. They fight the aggressive mutants back from anywhere people would encounter them, and wear masks in an attempt to mitigate the risk of transmission. They're a little confused, but they've got spirit.)

Do you have any drawing tips for semi-beginners hoping to improve drawing people? 🙏
Draw at least once a day, even if you don't feel like it. Artistic skill is 5% raw talent and 95% stubborn af bull-headed "fuck you I'm mad that I can't draw a 3/4 head so I am gonna draw it a hundred times until I get it right"
Do drawing warmups– straight lines from the shoulder, spirals and circles and cubes, things that get your muscles, well, warmed up. Even if this is all you can draw that day, you're still gaining fine motor control.
Copy from old school masters. I literally, 100% do mean "sit your butt down and freehand a copy of whatever famous painting/sculpture/piece you're gaga for". Critically analyze how these artists drew the human form. Why do you enjoy these artists' works? What would you like to learn from them? I'm not a great colorist, so I enjoy studying how other artists utilize light and color.
Listen to Jack Kirby's advice:
Tumblr media
Use references. All the time. Every damn day. Download stock photos that look cool and try drawing them. Take photos of yourself, your friends and fam and draw them. Feel weird because smug little assholes cry that "that's cheating", or folks make fancy jpgs of how you have to change a certain percent of the pose/hair/face/the way the shirt is flowing on your friend's body because exact life-drawing studies are "copying" now??? References are how artists work successfully and grow as artists. So you know, fuck them.
"Stock photo [person] [action]" is a life saver for finding poses to practice on
Use grids if you need to. Our predecessors did. Hell, they used crazy things like the camera obscura to make the perspective of their paintings correct. Programs like Procreate literally have grid guides to help.
Just completely stuck on a body part and frustrated that you can't get it to look right? Trace it. You have my permission. Trace it to get the form right, then try free-handing it again. You'll probably nail it. MAGIC. This is not "cheating".
(Don't trace stuff and pass it off as yours/use it for final pieces* unless your style is literally rotoscoping, a perfectly valid art form. Like, know your work and take pride in it.)
Related to that, don't feel married to a particular "style". Learn the basic foundations, then Experiment. Do those "draw my character in [X] style" memes. Flexibility will help you be kinder to yourself. Push your limits.
Redraw old work, so you can see how much you've improved.
Everything about a person can be broken down into basic shapes. Don't feel like you have to draw all the body contours perfectly the first time, and don't feel married to your first drafts. Revise, revise, revise.
Be kind to yourself. Seriously. Allow yourself to be patient with yourself. Adults in particular are so hard on themselves when it comes to drawing, when we don't need to be.
*On the topic of tracing:
Want to know where you CAN trace all the live long day? Your own work. "What?" Yes. Good god, yes. Light boxes exist in meat space for a reason! Layers in digital programs exist for a reason! So you doodled two different pics of Bucky Barnes and you love his face on one but hate it on another? C&P that sucker over or draw off that. Make a new layer above the mess. Finesse the Winter Soldier into complying cuz he's an obedient boy. It's your vision, go HAM.
On the subject of "Originality":
Tumblr media
Andrew Loomis' Figure Drawing For All It's Worth is a solid read that goes into the specifics of how to draw people, going into anatomy and breaking down bodies and faces into shapes and lines. Part of my improvement came when I stopped stressing out about the whole image (at least at first) and took things section by section.
It might seem a little dense and intimidating at first, but it's so much better than a lot of the "how to draw" stuff on the market today.
This is also dense af but I hope it helps!

Welcome To My Blog!
Hey! I’m making another pinned post because the one that I originally did got lost to my reblogging so yeah. 
Aloha! I’m Raina (or Raine) and I draw, sing, dance, write and act! But I don’t really post a lot of the stuff I write or draw, although I have finally gotten around to posting my writings, I don’t think I have the confidence to post my art yet. I’m also 18! (Thought it was about time I put my age in my bio)
Fandoms I’m Into ATM: Gravity Falls, Sonic, Hunter x Hunter, Ducktales, The Three Caballeros, Ouran High School Host Club, Fullmetal Alchemist, Buddy Daddies, The Millionaire Detective: Balance Unlimited, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Hazbin Hotel, FNAF, The Umbrella Academy, My Little Pony, Sanders Sides, Clarence, Wander Over Yonder, Craig of the Creek, Mario, Kirby, Hamilton, Dan Vs, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Villainous, Minecraft: Storymode, Ace Attorney, Hazbin Hotel, Sk8 The Infinity, SpongeBob SquarePants, Stardew Valley, Good Omens, Vinesauce, Markiplier, Undertale, Total Drama, Deltarune and many more!
I’m mostly just into books, musicals, cartoons and video games in general!
Most of my posts are reblogs, but sometimes I’ll post random shit that happens to me (especially rants, vents and school related stuff) and some of my drawings and writings, so don’t mind that. (Also, sorry if my reblogging is too much, I reblog ALOT of shit, so sorry if it’s annoying) and if you want someone to talk to or wanna be friends, just hit me up! My blog is also a safe space for everyone (except for the usual gross people like p*dos, incest shippers, the like) I hope you enjoy your stay! (I also don’t usually tag my reblogs, sometimes I will but only for little comments I make)
And in case I don’t see you, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight! (PS, if you are the IRS or are sent by the IRS just know that I will not be paying taxes)
Oh also, if you ever get on my blog on the computer, tell me what song you got on my playlist! Whatever song you get is you if you were a song.
Oh right, here are a few of my fanfics if you’re interested.
Experiment 47: The Copier Machine: Ford is lonely. Very, very lonely. And as much as he didn’t want to admit it... He missed his twin. So, what’s the most logical way to deal with repressed emotions instead of sucking up your pride and actually trying to make up with your twin? Build a cloning machine, of course. (Basically my theory on how the cloning machine in the Mystery Shack came to be)
The New Look Turnabouts: As time goes on, Miles and Phoenix end up changing their iconic looks (Either by accident or on purpose) and every time they end up falling more in love with each other.
Restless In Los Kyoto: After Phoenix sends his radio message to Miles, he doesn't exactly expect anything to come from it. And he especially doesn't expect to get a response back.
Hijinks & Shenanigans Will Ensue: Little snippets in the lives of our favorite Ace Attorney characters. Some stories will be based on official artworks, others are based on my own ideas. Some will even be Aus. All of them will be drabbles and little ficlets.
Also, here’s some quizzes I made! 
https://uquiz.com/fZWBsK (what do you live for?)
https://uquiz.com/eCH3HW (which member of my family are you?)
https://uquiz.com/v2O6Sp (would i let you introduce me to a new type of media i haven’t seen and that you like)
https://uquiz.com/m1NZOq (you answer stuff and i decide what unknown media i like that i think you’d like)
https://uquiz.com/2ulAQQ (which character from a musical/play that i was in are you)
https://uquiz.com/payRQj (what character are you but it’s my original story characters that will most likely never see the light of day)

Hello and welcome!
My name is Sara, but I also go by Jacob. I’m an illustrator and author who loves to draw all their wild hyperfixations. I most draw The Binding of Isaac, but I also dabble in Kirby, pokemon, and mario.
Check out my commission options here!
This blog is mostly a place for me to post my art. I also reblog stuff I find cool, interesting, funny, and plenty of my friends’ awesome art.
A lot of my focus is going into my @ask-javi-the-grafaiai and @lonely-mans-limbo ask blogs
I used to draw for a Tboi AU called Purgatory, not much anymore. All my posts relating to this can be found under #purgatory au. I have also organized all my posts in a master list which can be found right here
I run a few ask blogs here and there. Maybe you’ll see them, maybe not
I talk about random Tboi head canons and lore on #basement rambles. Unfortunately it’s mostly a dead tag, but I do accept any request to talk about any Isaac thing you wish. My funny little ask blog for Job ( @job-the-prosperous ) takes place in the same universe
And finally any general art that I make is under #sherbert draws
If you want to find my reblogs or random thoughts, good luck lmao
Please read below for a quick content warning
I am an adult
This blog will not be a squeaky clean place for minors to hang out. I try my best to tag things that may be explicit, but I’m not perfect and sometimes I forget.
There’s a fair share of gore, body horror, religious talk, and other such things. My art and stories occasionally touch on mature topics.
If any of these things make you uncomfortable and you choose to avoid this blog, I completely understand. However, these will be things you may find while scrolling through my stuff.

*clicks pen*
So, my dearest buddy pal Stardust, I’ve got myself a couple questions for you!:
1
3
4
8
10
16, though with a little tweak or two to the question! We all know what fandoms you draw for, so I’m curious outside of that! Anything in particular you draw that has no association with a preestablished fandom?
and 24! (Not shameful per say, but anything in your artistic past that has you suffer internally when looking back at, but a nostalgic suffering nonetheless)
Okay, this is gonna be a long one!
1- I drew a lot when I was in elementary school, just typical drawings of my favorite characters from movies and shows I liked and doodles of me hanging out with family and such, in notebooks with pictures of puppies or kitties on them. Yknow, stuff a little kid would usually draw. But I dropped it for a while once I came to the sense that I really couldn't get better at it. I decided to take on art again once I reached middle school and saw how good my new friends were at drawing. But I dropped that too. I took up digital art only 2 or 3 years ago, and once I gained a love for video games, they've been my biggest drawing motivation ever since. So boom. stardustshimmer origin story.
2- Tumblr is the only art related site I ever signed up for, and it wasn't even my original intention to start posting art, but I'm glad I broke out of my little shell.
3- I still have my old elementary school notebook drawings from years ago, but I really don't feel like digging through my room for them (I'm not even at home as I'm typing this), so here's my first attempt at a digital drawing (you've seen this before I think, Chaos):
Tumblr media
Not entirely terrible, but definitely not something I'm extremely proud of. Moving on-
4- I always try to make my art style expressive, cartoony, and squishy, something that'll make people go "omg that's so cute!" Also, you will rarely see me work with any other types of colors besides pastel or bright (neon???) ones.
8- My favorite piece? This is definitely up there for me:
Tumblr media
I just love the way each character came out. Also the colors are, like, so edible. LOOK AT YOSHI. AAJSHDHDDHS.
10- What I like most about my art is just the way certain characters look when I draw them, especially when I give them a silly little expression. Also, poses are like, my main thing. I have to put a character in some kind of interesting pose, like I did with the work above for example. Sort of.
16- I don't think I've ever drawn for any other fandom besides Kirby or Mario, but I think I should expand further. I've drawn Amy Rose once, and I've had some people tell me Sonic characters would look great in my style, so I just have to give that a try sometime! A few other fandoms I have in mind are Deltarune, TADC (although I have actually made a few pieces for that, I just now remembered!) Pizza Tower, Animal Crossing, perhaps Rhythm Heaven?? The possibilities are endless. (I may or may not have misread that whole question idk-)
24- No, I don't think I have a "shameful art past," really. I never took art that seriously for me to want to do anything like trace or recolor things. Although I recall how I used to trace over random spongebob frames once I figured out how tracing worked. But that was just for fun. Other than that, not really.
THANK YOU FOR THE ASK I APPRECIATE IT. I love rambling.

X-Men 12 (July 1965)
Stan Lee/Jack Kirby.
The one where Jack Kirby suffers some sort of brain problem and forgets how to draw Xavier, leading instead to him looking like...this.
Tumblr media
Like I know Xavier is white but this feels somehow racist. Anyway this is - unfortunately, given the art - a very Xavier-centric issue, where we learn a bunch about his backstory and his (step-)brother Cain Marko, a.k.a. Juggernaut, all of it related in a series of flashbacks while Juggernaut smashes his way into the mansion for a showdown with Xavier.
This is actually a great issue, story- and structure-wise. We learn a bunch of cool stuff about Xavier while the dread builds. Unfortunately the art continues to look like...this.
Tumblr media
Anyway Cain Marko is Xavier's abusive stepbrother: Marko's dad married Xavier's mum after Xavier's dad was killed in an atom bomb test in New Mexico, which is a fascinating bit of Cold War psychodrama.
Tumblr media
As the story unfolds, we get glimpses of Juggernaut making his way past the mansion's defences, without seeing him clearly...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...interspersed with episodes from their childhood together, where unfortunately again they both look terrible.
Tumblr media
This all leads to Korea, of all places, where the brothers served together during the Korean War (presumably this was just a war that made rough sense for the timeline at this point) where, in a ridiculously hurried four panels, Cain deserts, finds a magic ruby and transforms into a Juggernaut (a mixed-up Western understanding of an aspect of a Hindu ceremony, incidentally: there's definitely some sort of extremely vague mystical Asia mess going on here but it's all very poorly thought out).
Tumblr media
Unfortunately when we do finally get our good look at Juggernaut, on the last page, he...also looks awful. Like, this is just a terrible design. Always has been. They clearly wanted a cool, mysterious silhouette but then concluded that this could only be achieved through the world's stupidest hat. Why couldn't the magic ruby have sunk his head into his shoulders or something instead?
Tumblr media
So that was a really well-scripted issue let down by its art. Man, I'm really being tough on Jack Kirby in these posts.

Dragon Age development insights and highlights from Bioware: Stories and Secrets from 25 Years of Game Development
Some really tasty factoids here.
Tumblr media
Cut for length.
Dragon Age: Origins
The continent of Thedas was at one point going to be named Pelledia, a name initially floated by James Ohlen
“Qunari” was a temporary name that ended up unintentionally sticking, much like “Thedas”
Mary Kirby wrote the Landsmeet. To this day, nobody understands how it works, except possibly her. If she’s “really really drunk” she can explain how it works. There’s as many words in it as Sten’s entire conversations put together
Concept art for Thedosian art - as in in-world art - draws heavily on Renaissance-era portraiture, the Art Nouveau movement, religious styles and media like stained glass, and favorite pieces from the golden age of illustrations in the early 20th century
Andrastianism in-world (art-wise) is depicted in wildly different methods depending on who in-world made the art in question. “One religion, 3 different lenses”. There’s the Chantry take, the Orlesian take and the Fereldan take; each with its own different interpretations, different mediums and different stories
The stained glass images were drawn by Nick Thornborrow for DAI, to decorate religious spaces in that game “and beyond”
irl Viking art influenced Ferelden
Greek and Italian art influenced Orlais
The book also had other insights into and anecdotes from the development of DAO, but I’ve transcribed them recently as they’re essentially the stories DG has recently been relating on the awesome Summerfall Studios DAO playthrough Twitch streams. (On those streams he provides dev commentary while Liam Esler plays through DA. The ones with DG are currently once every two weeks. Check them out! Here’s a calendar where you can check when the next one is) Instead of repeating myself I’ll just provide the link to the first transcript. From there you can navigate to the subsequent parts. Note these streams are ongoing. At this point I will also point you to a related post which is cliff notes of the Dragon Age chapter in Jason Schreier’s book Blood Sweat and Pixels.
Dragon Age II
DAO had the longest development period in BioWare history. In contrast DA2 had the shortest
Initially DA2 was going to be an expansion to DAO. A few months in EA said “Yeah, expansions like these don’t sell very well, so let’s make it a sequel.” So it suddenly became DA2 and they had to make it even bigger, although they still only had 1.5 years of time in which to do this
Production of DA2 officially lasted only 9 months, and at the time the team was still supporting live content for DAO! They finished development that January after the design team crunched all the way through the holiday period that year. Then it went to cert 9 times
The limited time they had is why the story takes place mostly in and around 1 city, and over 7 years (so it was temporal, rather than over physical distance, because a more expansive world would have taken more irl time to make)
They had no time to review even the main plot. Mike Laidlaw pitched the idea of 3 stories taking place at different points in the PC’s life, tied together by Varric’s recollections of events. DG rolled with this and made 1 presentation on the idea. This presentation was then approved and off they went
As they were writing DG realized that there was going to be no oversight and that everything was going to be a ‘first draft’. “Because nobody had time.” He sat down with the writers and said “Look, here’s the conditions we’re working under. A lot of what we’re putting out is gonna be raw. We’re not going to get the editing we need. We’re not going to get the kind of iteration we need. So I’m going to trust you all to do your best work.”
Looking back, DG has mixed feelings on DA2. “A lot of corners were cut. The public perception was that it was smaller than DAO. That’s a sin on its own.”
Despite this he thinks DA2 has some of the best writing in the series, especially character-wise. The DA2 chars are his favorite
The pace with which production progressed may in some ways have helped. “When we do a lot of revision, we often file away [as in buff off] some of the good writing as well. Somehow DA2′s whirlwind process resulted in some really good writing”
The pace meant chars landed on the writers in various stages of completion. For example Isabela was fairly defined due to appearing in DAO. In contrast Varric at the start was just that single piece of widely-shown concept art
Varric was conceived as a storyteller not a fighter. His skills are talking and bullshitting. Hence the question became, so what does this guy do in combat? The direction was to make him as different as possible to Oghren, so not a warrior. He couldn’t be a dual-wielding rogue in order to differentiate him from Bela. But you can’t really picture this guy with a bow. “For a dwarf, it would probably be a crossbow. We didn’t have crossbows, or we only had crossbows for the darkspawn. And they were part of the models. We didn’t have a separate crossbow that was equip-able by the chars. They had to like, crop one off a darkspawn and remodel it. And that became Bianca” (quote: Mary Kirby)
“Dwarven mages are exceedingly rare.” [???]
If DAO was a classic fantasy painting, DA2 was a screenshot from a Kurosawa film or a northern Renaissance painting. (Here Matt Rhodes was commenting on art style)
John Epler: “In any one of our games, there’s a 95% chance that if you turn the camera away from what it’s looking at, you’ll see all kinds of janky stuff. The moment we know the camera is no longer facing someone, we no longer care what happens to them. We will teleport people around. We will jump people around. We will literally have someone walk off screen and then we will shift them 1000 meters down, because we’re fixing some bug.” John also talked about this camera stuff in a recent charity Twitch stream for Gamers For Groceries. There’s a writeup of that stream here
Designing Kirkwall pushed concept artists to the limits of visual storytelling, because it has a long history that they wanted to be present. It was once the hub of Tevinter’s slave empire, so it needed to look brutal and harsh, but it also then needed to feel reclaimed, evolved, and with elements of contemporary Free Marches culture
The initial plan was for DA titles to be distinguished by subtitles not numbers, so that each experience could stand on its own rather than feel like a sequel or continuation. (My note: New PCs in each entry make sense then when you consider this and other factoids we know like how DA is the story of the world not of any one PC). Later, DA2′s name was made DA2 in a bid to more clearly connect the game to its predecessor. For DAI they returned to the original naming convention. (My note: so I’d reckon they’d be continuing the subtitle naming convention for DA4)
DA2 was initially code-named “Nug Storm”, strictly internally
The Cancelled DA2 Expansion - Exalted March
This was a precursor to DAI
It was meant to bridge the gap between DA2 and DAI
It focused on the fallout from Kirkwall’s explosion, with Cory serving as the villain
Meredith’s red lyrium statue was basically going to infest Kirkwall and it would end up [with what would end up] the red templars taking over Kirkwall and essentially being Cory’s army
To stop him Hawke would have recruited various factions, including Bela’s Felicisima Armada and the Qunari at Estwatch, forcing Hawke to split loyalties and risk relationships in the process
It was meant to bring DA2′s story to an end and end in Varric’s death. DG was very happy with this because all of DA2 is Varric’s tale. The expansion was supposed to start at the moment Cassandra’s interrogation of him ended in the present. “And we finished off the story with Varric having this heroic death.” It tied things up and would have broken many fan hearts, something BioWare writers notoriously enjoy. But between a transition to the new Frostbite engine and the scope of DAI, the decision was made to cancel EM, work any hard-to-lose concepts into DAI, and in the process save Varric’s life. DG has talked about the Varric dying thing before
Concept art for EM explored new areas previously not depicted in the DA universe, with costumes that reflected next steps for familiar chars. Varric was going to war, what would he have worn? With Anders, if he survived DA2, the plan was to present a redeemed Warden
A char that vaguely resembled Sera in DAI was first concepted for EM. This fact was mentioned near this concept art (see the female elf) and this concept art of Bethany with the blond bob
The writers sketched out plans to end it with Hawke having the option to marry their LI. This included alternate ceremonies for party members like Bethany and Sebastian if the player opted not to wed. There was even a wedding dress made for Hawke. This asset made it into DAI (Sera and Cullen’s weddings in Trespasser). The dress can also be seen in DAI during an ambient NPC wedding after completing a chain of war table missions
The destruction of a Chantry was explored in concept art as it might have happened in EM. This idea ended up carrying over to the beginning of DAI. (My note: Lol, the idea that DA2 could have had 2 Chantries being destroyed in it 😆)
World of Thedas
Sheryl Chee and Mary Kirby started with “a disgusting little dish called fluffy mackerel pudding”. In the middle of DAO’s busy dev period one of them (they can’t remember who) found a recipe online for this, scanned in from a 70s cookbook. “I don’t understand why it was fluffy. Why would you want fluffy mackerel pudding?” MK says. “We loved it so much we included it in a DAO codex.”
This led them to create more food for Thedas, full recipes included, like a Fereldan turnip and barley stew from MK and SC’s Starkhaven fish and egg pie. The fish pie became Sebastian’s favorite. “To me it made sense for it to be fish pie because a lot of the Free Marches are on the coast”, SC says, “It was something that was popular in medieval times, so I thought, let’s make a fish pie! I looked at medieval recipes and I concocted a fish pie which I fed to my partner, and he was like ‘This is not terrible’”
For WoT the whole studio was asked to contribute family recipes which might have a place in Thedas. SC adapted these to fit in one Thedosian culture or another, including a beloved banana bread that localization producer Melanie Fleming would regularly bake to keep the DA team motivated. “Melanie’s banana bread got us through Inquisition”
DAI
It says part of DAI takes place in or near the border with Nevarra [???]
This game was aimed to be bigger than DA2 and even DAO in every conceivable way
The first hour had to do a lot of heavy lifting, tying together the events of DAO and DA2 while introducing a new PC, new followers etc in the aftermath of the big attack. DG rewrote it 7 times then Lukas Kristjanson did 2 more passes
DG: “Our problem is always that our endings are so important, but we leave them to last, when we have no time. I kept pushing on DAI: ‘Can we work on the ending now? Can we work on the ending now? Can we do it early on?’ Because I knew exactly what it was going to be. But despite the fact that it kept getting scheduled, whenever the schedule started falling behind, it kept getting pushed back... so, of course, it got left til last again.”
“The reveal of the story’s real antagonist, Solas, a follower until the end, when he betrayed the player”. “Solas’ story remains a main thread in Inquisition’s long-awaited follow-up” [these aren’t DG quotes, just bits of general text]
Over the course of development they had 8 full-time writers and 4 editors working on it. Other writers joined later to help wrangle what ended up being close to 1 million words of dialogue and unspoken text. While many teams moved to a more open concept style of work for DAI, the writers remained tucked away in their own room, a choice DG says was necessary, given how much they talked. All the talking had a purpose ofc as if someone hit a bump or wall in their writing they would open the problem up to the room
As writing on a project like DAI progresses, the writers grow punchier and weirder things make it into the game. This is especially the case towards the end of a project (they get tired, burned out)
Banter and codexes require less ‘buy-in’ (DG has talked about this concept a few times on the Twitch streams) from other designers. DG liked to leave banter for last as a reward because it was fun. Banter begins as lists of topics for 2 followers to discuss. These may progress over time or be one off exchanges. One banter script can balloon to well over 10k words. “The banter was always huge because we were always like, laughing, and really at that point, our fields of fucks were rather barren, so we would just do whatever”
The bog unicorn happened pretty much by accident. It was designed by Matt Rhodes and was one of his fav things to design. They needed horse variations and he had already designed an undead variant which was a bog mummy [bog body]. irl these are preserved in a much different way to traditional mummies. When someone dies in a bog their skin turns black and raisin-like. The examples we know of tend to have bright red hair for whatever reason. It’s a very striking look and MR wanted to do a horse version of this as he thought it’d be neat. 5 mins before the review meeting for it he had a big ‘Aha!’ moment, quickly looked up a rusty old Viking sword, and photoshopped it through its skull like that was how it died. “And I was like, ‘I just made a unicorn. Alright, in it goes!’” It got approved. “So we built the thing. It fit. It told a little story”
With the irl Inquisition longsword, one of the objects they tested its cleaving ability on was a plush version of Leliana’s nug Schmooples
The concept art team explored a wide variety of visuals for the Inquisitor’s signature mark. It needed to look powerful and raw but couldn’t look like a horrific wound. In some cases, as cool as the idea looked on paper, they just weren’t technically feasible, especially as they had to be able to fit on any number of different bodies
Bug report: “Endlessly spawning mounts! At one point during development, Inquisitors could summon a new horse every time they whistled, allowing them to amass a near infinite number of eager steeds that faithfully followed them across Thedas. “You could go charging across levels and they’d all gallop behind you,” Jen Cheverie says, “It was beautiful.” Trotting into town became an epic horse siege as a tidal wave of mounts enveloped the streets. Jen called it her Army of Ponies”
The giants came from DA Week, an internal period when devs can pursue different individual creative projects that in some way benefit DA. They also had a board game from one of these that they were going to put in but they didn’t have time. It’s referenced though. It was dwarven chess
Josie’s outfit is made of gold silk and patterned velvet, with leather at her waist. She carries “an ornate ledger” and she has “an ornamented collar sitting around her neck, finished by a brilliant red ruby, like a drop of Antivan wine in a sunbeam”
Iron Bull’s armor is leather. His loose pantaloons and leather boots give him agility to charge
On DAI in particular, concept artists took special care to make sure costumes would be realistic, at least in a practical ‘this obeys the laws of physics and textiles’ sense. “While on Inquisition, we thought about cosplay from a concept art perspective. Given how incredible a lot of [cosplays] are, I now am not worried about them. In fact in some cases in the future I want to throw them curveballs like, ‘All right, you clever bastards. Let’s see if you can do this!’”
2 geese that nested on the office building and had chicks were named Ganders and Arishonk (it wasn’t known who was the mom or the dad). Other possible names were Carver Honke, Bethany Honke, Urdnot Pecks, Quackwall, Cassandra Pentagoose, the Iron Bill, Shepbird, Garroose, Admiral Quackett, Scout Honking, HChick-47 and Darth Malgoose
Bug report: “The surprising adventures of Ser Noodles!” DAI was the first time the series had a mount feature, meaning this had a lot of bugs. A lot of the teams’ favorite bugs were to do with the mounts. There was a period of time where the Inquisitor���s horse seemed to lose all bone and muscle in its legs. They had a week or so where all quadruped legs were broken. It was a bit noticeable in things like nugs and other small beasties but the horse was insanely obvious. “The first time we summoned the horse [for this] and started running around, the entire QA exploration room just exploded with laughter.” Its legs flapped around like cooked fettucine, leading testers to lovingly nickname it Ser Noodles. At galloping speeds the legs almost looked like helicopter blades, especially when footage was set to classic pieces such as Wagner’s Flight of the Valkyries
For DAI the artists were asked questions like “What would Morrigan wear to a formal ball? Can Cassandra pull off a jaunty hat?”
On DAI storyboarding became the norm. John Epler: “Cinematic design for the longest time was the Wild West. It was ‘here’s a bunch of content, now do it however you want’, which resulted in some successes and some failures.” Storyboarding gave designers a consistent visual blueprint based on ideas from designers, writers and concept artists
Quote from a storyboard by Nick Thornborrow (the Inquisitor going into the party at the end of basegame sequence): “Until Corypheus revealed himself they could not see the single hand behind the chaos. A magister and a darkspawn combined. The ultimate evil. So evil. Eviler than puppy-killers and egg farts combined.”
A general note on concept art:
In the early stages of any project, before the concept artists are aware of any writing, they like to just draw what they think cool story moments could be. It’s not unusual for the team to then be inspired by these and fold them into the game as the project progresses

Finally making an introduction post!
Thought it was the time to make an intro post, so:
Hi! I'm Pipes, though you can also call me Cheesy, Right, or Spark! I'm an autistic omniromantic asexual non-binary who likes reading, cartoons, drawing, and writing.
Pronouns (in order of preference):
They/them
She/her (only if we're close)
It/its
Xey/xem
Ae/aer
Fandoms (bold indicates a current hyperfixation/special interest):
SpongeBob
Object shows
Bugsnax
Kirby
Roblox
Minecraft (just the normal game, I'm not interested in any of the SMPs or whatever)
Amphibia
Gravity Falls
DuckTales (2017)
Big City Greens
The Ghost and Molly McGee (as you can tell I really like Disney Channel cartoons)
Cookie Run
My Little Pony (mainly FIM, but also some of the older generations)
Alphabet Lore (and some of the parodies of it)
The Jell-O Wobz
Dead End: Paranormal Park (up to season 1)
The Amazing World of Gumball
KaBlam! (particularly the Henry and June segments)
Hey Arnold!
Animator vs. Animation
The Amazing Digital Circus
Music artists I like:
I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME
Lemon Demon
Tally Hall/Miracle Musical
Louie Zong
Glass Animals
Set It Off
Caravan Palace
Diviners
Two Door Cinema Club
Some other things I like (again, bold indicates a current hyperfixation/special interest):
Food (especially candy)
Retro commercials and snacks
Analog horror and ARGs
Bugs (especially ants and dragonflies)
Nostalgiacore in general
Webcore/“old web” aesthetics
Worldbuilding
Different alphabets/letters/languages
Lost media (especially cartoon/internet-related lost media)
I have far too many AUs, and far too many OCs.
I'll block you if you're a bigot, proshipper, or NSFW blog (I'm a minor). Just be a decent person and we're cool, okay?
Other stuff:
I don't curse very often, but if I do, it's probably because I'm really ticked (expect me to swear a lot in my vent posts too). Either that, or I’m doing it “for the bit”. I do reblog posts with swear words in them a lot, though.
DM me if you want my blacklist so you can tag stuff so I don't see it (I'll only give it to people I trust though)
As I said in the beginning of this introduction post, I am autistic and have trouble understanding text, so please be patient with me and use tone tags as much as possible! /gen
My rambling tag is #right hand rambles, my art tag is #look at my art boy, and my writing tag is #i write sometimes.
Other, less common tags I use are;
#right hand's attempts to be funny (for textless memes)
#right hand spitballs au ideas (for aus that don’t have names yet, aus with names will have a tag with their name instead)
#adventures in objectopia (for object oc stuff)
If you need something tagged or I forget to tag something for you, please tell me.
Also, I'm white and I really don't want to offend anyone, so if I say something bad, reblog from someone bad, or I reblog something bad, please tell me! /gen
Please don't ask me to RP out of nowhere. /nm
This blog is SFW, but I may occasionally reblog posts that could be seen as suggestive. If you don't want to see that, please block the tag "suggestive".
I'm okay with adults interacting with me, but I'd prefer that you don't DM me if you're an adult unless I know you already/we're mutuals/I DM first.
All my posts are okay to tag as kin/id/me!
Other than that, please feel free to interact with me! I don't bite, I promise.
