[5] 'Father Duty' || Castis Vakarian

[ 1 ], [ 2 ], [ 3 ], [ 4 ] by scent.2002 || Meta

Here we have:

Take your kids to work day where precious little baby girl Solana (we're still polishing working on Solana and I couldn't decide whether she's younger sister or older sister — I feel like she's younger but also feel like she's older depending on the mood swings).

Garrus verbally and literally pointing out someone's form isn't proper because Dad taught him the proper way and Castis is just 'well, you heard my boy' — ah, yes, more delulu coming your way ♥

Solana is not at all happy to be there but she's the behaved one so she gets to be in daddy's holster.

Garrus eating off dad's spicier plate because it's 'dad's spicier plate' and he wasn't going to back down to dad saying, "You're too young for this, Garrus. This is too spicy for y—."

Look at the sheer determination to appease his father and his pride as a Vakarian. NOMNOMNOM LITTLE ANGEL ♥

Dad making copies of work related files in his omni-tool because Solana decided to play with it and did cute little doodles and blamed it on Garrus.

Garrus gets a time out and doesn't know why. Dad won't tell him.

[6] 'Father Duty' Pt. 2 || Castis Vakarian

I, II, III, IV, V, by scent.2002 || Meta

Here we have:

Little Garrus stuffing dad's drawers with his blankie because someone has been bring home work a little too much. Needless to say, Castis feels equally touched as he is troubled because Garrus has thrown his stuff away to make room for his blankie.

Itty, bitty Garr-bear sharing his desserts for dad but ends up taking a huge bite and is now in the dilemma of whether dad would notice or he'd have to take one for the team and eat all of it.

Hydration is very important. Specially if you're a very young Turian caught in the adventure of making sure dad's OK. The drink was supposed to be Castis'.

And so was the sandwich — or what's left of it. Castis is not a fan of saliva-soggy bread. [ I wasn't sure if there's an equivalent of sandwich for Turians.]

Dad's way of saying he's both proud and love the itty, bitty monster baby.

I'm having dad withdrawal. This may be a little too wholesome for Castis, but I'm pretty sure he did his best. With how Garrus turned out. I know most of his personality is more from mom as per the comics, but I'm also sure that he's got a lot of Castis in him too.

Anyway, have some fatherly sweetness from husband #3, Castis Vakarian.

[4] 'Retirement' || Castis Vakarian

With & without glasses because I can't decide which I like best.

Another Castis Vakarian study as the small number of art made for him is appalling considering we like daddies in this binch. I'm also considering adding Avitus Rix in the mix or start on that Saren vs Castis vibe @eyecandyeoz and I went over some weeks ago. Also tagging @yuku78 on here because.. daddy! Might tag the series under : NotQuiteTiredYetTizzy

Here we have:

Retired dad and his new, equally no-nonsense, mid-life existential-crises bought pet bird — a beautifully unimpressed, Gatling-shrieking shoebill to double down on that #TiredDad disappointed look that makes you want to do your best! Right on, Dad!

The 'Well, shit. I guess I'm really retired now" dad coping by actually allowing himself to get shit-faced in his own home because there is no chance in absolute hell that he's going to make a fool of himself in public. Have a slightly drunk-flustered #feelingcutemightdeletelaterforsure daddy on the couch.

Dad and new son pet bonding.

And because I have no self-control, that squiggly, curly-haired bubble person is my OC who I have written in wips as his assistant during his last years before retirement and ya boy shootin' his shot because you know, shipping blorbos with our oc is therapy.

Dad takes to online dating — only because he's a little bit drunk and will definitely deny this the morning after.

Barbeque dad and his special barbeque sauce giving you the "what do you mean you already ate?" — look of disapproval + three seconds before you take that back and sit tf down and eat.

[3] 'Truce' || Castis & Garrus Vakarian

[ 1 ], [ 2 ], by scent.2002 || Meta

So as you know, I have been in this continuous descent of Castis Vakarian thirsting and I just remembered a really fond memory of my grandfather and I when I would be a spoiled little shit. I mean I wasn't really a spoiled child, but I was spoiled by my grandfather a lot.

So after being reprimanded, my stupid little heart would take it soooo personally and won't talk to my granddad until I just fall asleep from crying. Hours later, I'll awake up asleep on his chest.

So.

Have a post-argument sleepy times with daddy Castis and this cute little chub, Garrus. I wanna say Mrs. Vakarian lovingly placed the itty, bitty, baby on sleepy grumpy dad ♥.

A young Castis Vakarian a.k.a. a 'failed' attempt of capturing his seasoned look. #BlessedVakarianGenes

Castis Vakarian, A Turian Study Part 2

-> Part 1

I'm really loving study sheet #2, but I can't really picture him looking silly like the two ones on the right, but the other three is giving me that stoic, strict, collected vibe of sorts. I'm also seeing a little closeness to him being a might fine, seasoned gentleman.

But clearly as you can see, the thirst remains unquenchable. But since this is a study, we keeping the NSFW in my secret folders.

I'd like to think that Castis still keeps up being in shape. You can't just take that a way from a man in uniform, imho. I don't see him as someone who'd let himself go so easy — not that there's nothing wrong with it.

I like how this turned out, but we're gonna work on his face in that angle a little more.

What do you think?

Also flexing my cutie patootie OC, Duch in there ♥
