Share A Brief History Of How Sweden Was Created

Everyone But Oghren Has a Filthy Mind...

Oghren: Yep, lotta tension around here

Alistair: You think so? Do you?

Oghren: Know what I do to relieve tension?

Alistair: I hesitate to wonder

Oghren: I polish the 'ol weapon

Alistair: Really?

Oghren: Yep. Give it a good shine with a dry rag. Then with a little grease

Alistair: That's disgusting!

Oghren: You're telling me you never gave your blade the 'ol spit shine?

Alistair: I think that's private

Oghren: Really?

Oghren: Sodding Chantry and its rules. I like to do it right out in the open

Alistair: Where people can SEE you?

Oghren: Yep!

Alistair: Wait... What are you talking about?

Oghren: What are YOU talking about?

***************

Wynne: Why do you occasionally refer to Alistair as "a little pike twirler"?

Oghren: Why? Has the little pike twirler taken offense?

Wynne: It's just a curious description.

Oghren: Curious? Heh, nah it's entirely true. What, you haven't seen him twirling his pike? Goes at it when he thinks no ones watching, knocks about in the trees like there's no tomorrow. Caught him just the other day, blushed all the way down to his navel, then couldn't find his shirt. I swear he's gonna hurt himself one of these days, the way he works that thing.

Wynne: I don't want to hear this anymore do I?

Oghren: I keep telling him pike's are for sticking things at long range, aye? Horses and such. Not for twirling like a sissy girl.

Wynne: Wait, you're talking about an actual pike? Like a spear?

Oghren: Obviously. What else would I be talking about?

Best ever

Solasmancers are my favorite because they've all had to deal with the loss of Solas but they either hate his guts, still love him, or make fucking egg memes

Awesome… well, now that the horrifically uncomfortable conversation is out of the way, maybe we actually go into the Vault that we’ve risked life and limb to find.

’What is hair and how i can render it?’

I got this question and I really wanted to show on very simple examples how to render hair. Because it really is… simple! Following this guide you will be able to paint hair in few minutes.

This is called the ribbon technique.

It is used by many artists out there. I just wanted to show you a couple of examples. As you can see I picked Adam Hughes and J. C. Leyendecker. Look at it and see how they paint the hair. It doesn’t look like a mop. It looks more like big, overlapping shapes organized in some fashion.

Try to imagine a string of hair like a ribbon. Ribbon symbolize a large portion of hair. Don’t focus on every single hair string, instead of this imagine it as bigger shape. It will catch light in highest point and it will have core shadows.

Establish where light is hitting the hair and where it turns dark. Start with big shapes. big brushes to get the lights and volumes right. Then You can go into details and paint small brush strokes to add details like single hair strings.

I attached two examples. First is very simple where you can clearly see and understand the similarity between hair and ribbon. Second example is theory put into practice. But it’s basically doing the same things as shown in simple example.

Let me know what you think about this?

I based my knowledge on James Gurney blog (author of Dinotopia and Light and Color book)

And for the example I used Faestock (from deviantart) photo.
