Behold, the second piece I did for the Dragon Age Big Bang (@dragonagebigbang)! The story is up now, so time to show this one off!
For "Bookstack Tattoo" by Fundelstein on AO3, aka @the-study-of-fundelstein on Tumblr. I admit I'm always a sucker for some good FenHawke, and this was a fun chance to experiment a bit with how I rendered the whole piece.
Pencils but no inking, to keep it looking soft (and because the pencils turned out nicely), and then watercolor brushes for coloring. Lots of fun messing around with background details and doing my best at perspective (which was done piecemeal, thank you free transform). Next time I might have to draw the walls flat and then perspective-warp them as a whole, but it's whatever. I'm happy with it.
This is, I think, also my first foray into drawing modern-AU Dragon Age art. 😁
I especially had fun slipping a few references in because what else am I to do with background elements? Can you spot some of them?
And here's the banner I made to go with the work, as seen on the DABB blog:
Go read the fic, and then check out the rest of the collection!
