Happy Anniversary, Wardens!
It seems fitting that today of all days I give you an update as 10 years ago today, Dragon Age origins was released!
When I knew this day was coming however, I was hoping to have something spectacular to share. But I guess having at least Episode 01 already completed is enough for now! 20 minute long one’s no less!
I’m currently drawing the animatic for Episode 02, 100 pages and counting and that’s only the first minute!
With the money from my Patrons I was able to commission a composer to create the score to my first musical number of the show (if you don’t count Elanore’s lullaby). It’s me singing, so please bare with I’ve had no training haha
And now I’m just working on the audio created by my talented voice actors! And aside from you guys’ support of course, I think hearing them is what truly makes me enjoy working on this series! Sound is a powerful thing, and hearing my words and reimagined characters of David Gaider come to life is amazing! And when it’s all put together, it just confirms my passion for this project!
If I ever met a Desire Demon and was granted one wish - aside from Alistair to be real ofc! I would wish for the diligence and know how to promote this better, so I can live off the public funding to just make this series non-stop and not bring out an one episode per year haha! (and hopefully not get sued by EA or Gaider)
I’ve got alot of existentialism happening at the moment - not in a bad way, and I think I’m finally at that place where other Youtubers are where they don’t want to do anything else but working on their projects and it’s just a case of figuring out how! I was going to apply for a university course to be a Trauma counsellor, and although I love helping people it would’ve taken too much time out of my life to not be able to do work like this. And there’s always a possibility I will pick it back up again, but I love how I’m still inspiring and helping people with my art - even if it’s just a little bit!
I’m obsessed with drawing! When I’m ill, or too busy or when I need to sleep, I can’t stop! Even when I have those episodes where I just want to give up, a few days later I’m picking up that pen again and doodling away so I know I’m never going to truly stop! The same with creative writing!
This series was just a way for me to do a medieval story, that fused with my passion for Dragon Age and my love of Disney films - and to voice a Disney princess! And it’s unbelievable the amount of love it’s got back. Again, I only wish I could do more to make it bigger and better.
Oh I’m also writing 20 and 21; Team Warden are currently at Redcliffe/ The Circle (hence the pic of the Fade mouse) I do NOT want to make The Fade episode boring as it’s the WORST part of the FRIKKIN game! I’m doing my utmost to make sure each Episode stays true to the material, but is different enough to make you not want to just play the game haha (though I doubt The Fade episode will make you want to do that part :P ) I also may be making some.....side romances that not everyone will agree with, just because it just seems to be there for me so I’m going to go with it and see what happens! Who knows! Might not work out at all! But I think by now, you all know who the main pair is but just....try to act surprised okay?
Please know that i am trying to write this as impartial to my own preferences/ game play as possible and only going by what would happen if it were a Disney animation. But with a lovely dark twist of course :P
Anyway. I think that’s everything. Ugh there’s still so much to do! But if I can get this done by Christmas, wouldn’t that be great?! I am having some computer issues right now; external is dying causing my Windows to act weird, I need a new sound system because a toothpick is keeping the wire at the right angle haha and I’m not even going to go into why my state of the art recording equipment won’t work on my PC for some reason so I’m using a crappy ass mic to recording Episode 02 lines! ...okay maybe I did go into it haha
Sorry this was so long! If anything, I’ve inspired myself to restart my quest to find an agent or a PA or PR or whatever they’re called to help me promote this thing and to get me in line! So woop!
Now back to work!
Happy Anniversary, Wardens. And as always, Maker be with you!
