For WIP Wednesday, a bunch of sketches I drew yesterday. Also working on an art trade but I dunno if I should show that one since it's a friend's character and not mine.

Art trade with @thedeni.bsky.social of her warden, Melina Surana and Alistair!

Today's entry for WIP Wednesday is a half filled out HOF Hairstyle meme for Melina #wipwednesday #melinasurana #hof #dragonageorigins #wardensurana #magiorigin

Lookit them, they're so cute.😍 I love them very much 🥺

I always tell myself I'll work more on it the day of, but I never do lol this is the only new wip I have to show.

Fliora for WIP Wednesday.

Still lagging a week behind on the draw-a-longs.

Companion Melina - Plot Item (gift)

Vhenadahl Sapling
A small oak sapling in a broken clay pot the size of a drinking cup. This sprout was taken from ground by the roots of the great Vhenadahl tree in Denerim’s Alienage.

Weathered Dalish Pendant (Initial equipment. Melina only)
A worn down pendant made out of dark wood hanging from a threadbare cord. The carvings are smoothed over and hardly legible, but it might have at some point been a tree of some sort.

I've only played through the origin so Idk much about her yet, but this is Taima Brosca, confident as hell that she's gonna kick ass at Ostagar
(She still thinks she would've made a kickass crimelord and only went with Duncan bc Rica told her to.)
#dragonageorigins#dao#taimabrosca#wardenbrosca

Still chipping away at this one for WIP Wednesday. I started the new draw-a-long but didn't get far. This one has more to show

The last time Fliora saw her cousin, they played together all afternoon. When it was Fliora's turn to tag, she let Meli win.
Uncle Huber & Meli were gone the next morning. They told her that Meli went to a different clan who needed a First. Fliora never saw them again. #melinasurana #flioralavellan

Melina snuck into Anders' clinic by shapeshifting into a rat and just observing him for the day. Kirkwall is filthy, anyway. What's one more rat under the rags he keeps in the corner as makeshift bandages?

Still missing half her ear & fingers even in rat form.

hurgh I thought I'd get more done before the day was over and I could have more for wip wednesday but some is better than nothing. New Warden, Taima Brosca. I will now go deflate like a balloon. Today was very tiring at work #taimabrosca #wardenbrosca #wipwednesday #drawalong

Baby's first time being drunk after she left the Circle. Leliana insisted they celebrate after they got their first treaty ratified (the Dalish @ Brecilian Forest). Melina is only half aware of what happened that night and is too embarrassed to ask. #dragonage #dao #hof #leliana #wardensurana

Figuring out which version I like best of these. Dressed down version of archon robes for walking around camp. Went with the version that has accessories.

You can really tell I lost steam about halfway through lmao Oh well, I just wanted to draw Melina with a baby. Maybe her son Duncan, maybe not. I’m still deciding on his color palette so hmmmm

I was supposed to post this yesterday for WIP Wednesday but oh well. Better late than never. #wipwednesday

Melina Surana heard Alvan Hawke was in Skyhold during Inquisition and marched there to beat his ass before he could disappear again. Accidentally found Inquisitor Fliora Lavellan was a long-lost cousin she didn’t know she had. + no make up look #dragonage #dai #wardensurana #inquisitorlavellan

I loved seeing all the different mages in one picture because we all made such different characters with essentially the same prompt. Thanks for letting me borrow Selph. 😘

BG3 and DAO really got all my art this year, huh #artworksummary2025

Based on the story Cullen tells in DAI about a recruit walking into the dining hall (presumably at Kinloch Hold) in his underwear. I wanted to draw a bunch of mage apprentices reacting to that, so I borrowed a bunch of mages from the Alistair Nation server. #dao #dragonage #wardensurana #wardenamell

Selph Surana. A little gift for @theshiftycat.bsky.social

Barkspawn is a good boy but a stubborn pup and when he doesn't want to listen, Melina has little recourse to force him to do things. He can wear her like an oversized backpack if he wants to and just drag her around.
#dao #dragonage #wardensurana #barkspawn #mabari #melinasurana #magiorigin

Melina lost a part of her ear when the archdemon kicked her and 2 of her fingers when the sword slipped as she was stabbing it dead, and she gripped the blade instead of the handle. Minor damage, all things considered.
I am SO proud of this one ngl.
#dao #dragonage #wardensurana #alistairtheirin

Liked the individual drawings too much, so you get to see those, too.

Melina had high hopes when the day started. It went downhill from there.

Background is a bit distracting but I spent too much time on it not to add it in the end.

Melina and Shale are bffs. Since Shale doesn't need sleep, they spend a lot of late nights talking after Melina wakes up from nightmares. Eventually, the golem might actually admit they're fond of the chatty little elf. #dao #dragonage #dragonageorigins #shale #wardensurana #magiorigin

A lineup of the Ostagar veterans in the party and what they would've looked like before the battle. Alistair and Melina were repping the grey and blue. Alistair's is fitted, since he had time to get his own set. Melina is wearing someone's spare and it's a tad too big on her #dao #dragonage

At some indeterminate time between the Lansdmeet and the battle of Denerim, but most def at Arl Eamon's in Denerim. Barkspawn's a bit bummed that the bed's not big enough for 2 people + a mabari and he's sulking. Melina's checking on her bby boi after waking from a nightmare. #dao #wardensurana

Leliana is the party's fashion expert, so who better to ask for a second opinion?

The Origins mage hats sure are... something.
