depending on the story

Dragon Age Kiss Week is on! I've seen a few pieces already and they're an absolute joy to witness.

Josie was unsuccessful in convincing Cullen that a silk brocade would better suit his station, much to her chagrin.

Jousting at the festival to impress your lady love!!!

Today someone messaged me about this piece by Eldrtchmn and asked If i could send them the file so they could use it as their OC

Hey man I loved the art you commissioned and I have a question do you have a full body version of the character without the skeleton mask like in the gif? I was hoping to use that version for my next oracle playthrough.

By saying that they know I commissioned this piece, that means they know I paid money for it. I saved up, I came up with an idea, I gathered references, I waited my turn on the waitlist, and I worked back and forth with this artist to develop MY character. Not yours.

By specifying that this is for their next oracle playthrough, they indicate that they’re basing their concept of their character on my oracle. Basically making their version of my character and trying to RP her.

Halide was my first ever PF character, her history is intensely personal and related to multiple campaigns I’ve played with her. The idea of someone thinking they could play her or “do her better” or do her in their own way, while wearing her face that, again, I paid for, is repulsive.

Never, ever, do this.

#op #what does not tagging with your inquistor mean #as long as theyre not claiming it as their own work or something #i dont really understand that request #can someone explain this to me #how does tagging impact the work?

Allow us to clarify: several times in the past a few people tagged their inquisitor on some of our images with either just their name or something like “this is totally [inquisitor’s name]!” or start describing a scenario that their inquisitor would do. Now all of that may seem pretty harmless, but to us it essentially just boils the role of our own inquisitors in these pictures down to a template. We realize that this is how that game presents the inquisitor, but that’s exactly why we work so hard to create images and scenarios that are very personal to our own brand and take on DA:I. But when people just tag over it with their own characters, it feels like all that’s being erased just for the sake of getting ‘free art/ free face-claim’.
