Description This is a gift to Morninglight2 for her story 'The blighted and the bold'.Β www.fanfiction.net/s/10127752/…
Her heroine Brytta. Initially I had all of Duncan as well before I realised this image is all about this fabulous woman. It's my first try at doing a dwarf (discounting Oghren). I like to think this is her first glimpse at the topside and she takes it in stride.

It's really fantastic, and Brytta is such a unique character!

Thank you! Brytta is, I think, my totally favourite Warden and the one who is, quite frankly, never allowed in the canon story because she's so OP she'd kill the archdemon in a heartbeat. At Ostagar. ^_^

Aw, thanks. I'd say yours are constantly improving as well Especially the B&W:s. Making this image was fun since that Dwarf is such a character. It's totally fitting that Duncan stays in the background this time.

Morninglight supplied a screenshot of her OC which I used as reference so I mainly added Duncan and redrew the face and hair to make the character come alive. Thank you so much for commenting!

Just the way she is! Defiant, gutsy and strong. I like the pose. It looks like she's going to take the surface by the balls and make it do her bidding. Thedas beware! The dark hues with a hint of warmth are nice and I love the strong almost scribbly strokes of red in her hair. I wonder what the painting would have looked like had we seen Duncan's hand resting lightly on her shoulder? I can't decide if it would work or not.

Duncan's hand was there, in fact all of Duncan was. But then I decided that this girl can make it on her own.

A beautiful dwarven Warden! As a passionate fan of the dwarven origins (Dwarf Noble in particular) it's wonderful to see art of the dwarven characters. I like the glimpse of Duncan's armor in the background too.

You have another gorgeous Dwarf in your ID there! I must admit I've never played as a Dwarf (or elf for that matter). I have however started all the origins in order to (coughs) take screenshots of Duncan...

jmd4 In reply to olivegbg [2014-04-14 00:26:00 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!Β Β  She is my canon Aeducan Warden. Playing a dwarf is quite a lot of fun, and makes the Orzammar questline very interesting and personal. Elves, especially City Elf in my opinion, are also definitely worth playing. It's unfortunate Duncan only appears so briefly in the game, I like him very much myself!

Duncan is my constant favorite of course! I can imagine playing as a Dwarf would spice up the Orzammar quest quite a bit! Actually I liked The Deep roads, hated the Brezilien though...

Morninglight provided a screenshot of her Brytta and I took it from there. Used mostly pencils with water-color look&feel AND I've actually learnt to create a few myself. And thank you, the hair was a bit of an experiment, she's a bit on the wild side so I wanted to give her rebellious hair.

Morninglight2 In reply to olivegbg [2014-04-13 06:33:13 +0000 UTC]

Saying that Brytta's a bit on the wild side is like saying Duncan is a bit sexy.

Oh, look, Brytta's specialties are Legion Scout from Awakenings and Assassin, so they compliment each other very well.

If I ever do a Brytta playthrough, she'd probably romance our favourite Antivan elf.
