My 2025 #ArtSummary 💜 I wasn't as productive as I hoped to be, but still managed to draw something every month. Lots of sketches happened, but thankfully some full scenes too. Some lovely commisions (wish I could include them all!), exchanges, and personal stuff. A good year overall!

Shit

Art vs Artist 2025! Rough year! Bad year! Not as productive a year as I'd hoped (especially wrt writing)! but it was still faaairly productive despite the horrors, at least for (DA) crochet 🧶 #ArtVsArtist #crochet #amigurumi

Ilia doesn't have a lot of experience (which she is self-conscious about), so as soon as talking about it moves from joking and hypothetical to something serious and real, she gets quiet because she doesn't want to give away how inexperienced she is. I think that changes once she and Thom have 👇

Show me what you can do with just a pen! #art (!!!) #tulipgraphy

My wonderful friend @divinityiswasted.bsky.social commissioned & gifted me art of Nesira (my Godwoken) with Ifan for Christmas! We met on AO3 when Alex started commenting on my smutty Ifan and Nes series (linked below), & I'm so grateful that they were my first fandom friend 🖤 #DOS2 #IfanxGodwoken

well I hope it's Ilia because she's all i ever post these days (and she's also probably all you're getting next year too)

What a perfect excuse to revisit an oldie 💝 #pavelyan #comic #DragonAgeArt

@blackwallmancer.bsky.social introduced me to reshade so if y'all thought I was annoying about my iliawall photoshoots before ohhoho just you wait and see what happens once I get the hang of this

Finished this little corgi the other day. It's crocheted with chenile yarn, extremely chonky and squishable. 90% freehanded, will be a birthday gift for an adorable 3-yo.

Real arguments are rare for them. I think Thom can be quick to show anger when he's actually scared or hurt, but Ilia is good at reading between the lines and getting to the heart of the problem before things escalate. Their big disagreement (not counting the, uh, lies) is over Solas 👇

I logged in to play but saw the new outfit and opened csp with a deep sigh Anyway. #OCKeira #reth

I'm not going to say /finish/ my longfic because lol but I'd like to at least keep making consistent progress on it over the year. I'd also really like to get back to drawing more than once every three months so I can make all the fanart i see in my dreams 😔

a lil painterly study for #DAFanFriday + timelapse below #art

My HoF and Hawke both always have a mabari, but they don't have canon names yet because names are hard. Ilia and Thom eventually end up with a big scruffy dog that just starts following them around one day, and Ilia likes adopting big scruffy things. I think it looks kind of like this.

thought i'd make a simple #artsummary2025 :) this year i've learnt a whole lot about traditional, digital art and also learnt to paint with a mouse! it's been a fun year art wise :) i feel pretty accomplished on that front! #driftcreates

Emmrook nsfw from June this year, merry Christmas (⁠⊃⁠｡⁠•́⁠‿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)⁠⊃ he/him for both (forgive my attempt at dialogue) #ihtiriekkoocs #emmrook #Emmrichvolkarin #dragonageart #dragonagefanart

He loves... this time of the year, or so he said. #OCKeira #reth

So glad me and @kittyndp.bsky.social still cultivate the tradition of mini Christmas exchanges 😌 Solona x Cullen, my blorbos in law 💕 And Merry Christmas everyone! ❄️🌠

I wasn't going to crochet another halla this year, but then I thought, "But what if it'd be really punny?" so here we are. Happy Halla-days, Dragon Age DABsky 🖤 Thanks for helping me to get through 2025. May 2026 be kinder to us all ❄️ #crochet #amigurumi #DragonAge #DragonAgeFanart

That would be me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Commission for @wcshepard.bsky.social of Shepard and Kaidan being disgustingly cute 🧑‍🎄🎄 #commission #christmas #masseffect #kaidanalenko

Art vs Artist 2025 ✦ This year is not the best for my art, I feel so burnt out, unmotivated, lack of inspiration too. But at least I can filled the nine slots for this year art vs artist. #wepepedraws #artvsartist2025

Ilia would struggle to be proud of herself, but she'd be really, really proud of her friends. Proud of Thom for becoming a better man. Proud of Sera for growing and changing while sticking to her convictions. Proud of Cass and Leliana for trying to make the chantry better. 👇

Did end up finishing this Dragon Age cross stitch, finally. Definitely want to do more video game screencaps in future. 👀

Reminder that if you want to crochet your own tiny nug buddy, I have published a free pattern of my own making on my ko-fi! Add a key ring or hook & you've got yourself a keychain or tree ornament! Double up the yarn, or use blanket yarn, and you've got a snuggly buddy instead of a smol creature!

Commissioned another portrait of my bb Evelyn this time by the excellent @rayquazing.bsky.social and I love her so much 🥹 my lesbian queen!!! Ani did SUCH a good job!!!

And finally, victoryyyyy 🎉 (fought the mods and won yippee) #ThomAndMira

throwing this here before I make up his listing post. he pocket sized

"Never underestimate the enmity of those for whom outrage is a sport." Celebrating 1 Year of Josephine #MontilyetMonday today! Ink illustration based on VP from @antivacity.bsky.social

winter is hard and it’s just starting but idk I draw so much strength from knowing this is the darkest it’s going to get. we made it and it’s only up from here and wouldn’t it be nice if everything felt that way? idk why I’m SO in my feelings

yay he's done 🖤 He'll be added to my amis for sale thread tomorrow when I can take better pics.

This is the only fic project I finished this year ("Could," I'll try to return to you soon, my poor seemingly-forever fic WIP), & I'm still really proud of it & happy with how it came out. Looking forward to participating in more fic prompts next year (pls can we have more DA fic prompts next year?)

I have been working on a Dragon Age zine for the last 6 months. The plan is to have it published by March 2026! It will be a look book zine of my pencil and ink portraits of the heroes of the Veilguard.

Had to cheat a bit with some sketches and wips but I DID IT!! In 2026 I hope to get 200% weirder with my personal work #artsummary #artsummary2025 #artsky

#Inkvent Day 20: Ambience Warm, cheerful coral with pink shimmer. I can’t catch a second color if it’s in there (this is another chameleon ink). Dig it! Today’s lyric is from “Run, Rudolph, Run” by Chuck Berry. 🧡 #tulipgraphy

This is my first art summary and I'm so proud of myself 🥹💕 It was a super colorful year for my art, because I had never worked with colors before 2025. So I made myself the promise to color everything I draw on my first tablet I got in April and I'm so glad I stuck to it!!

Ilia is demi but I don't think it's anything she really realizes or understands about herself. She just thinks her inability to do romance the way other people do is another thing wrong with her 😭 I'm not sure how to label her gender journey but she's definitely on one, and that's something she 👇

Three hours of sleep yayyyy 🥲

#Inkvent Day 18: Laurel Love this ink, LOVE this page. I am so happy about how “December” turned out. A risk with great reward! Date: Brause 1/2 mm 180 nib Name: Speedball C-2 nib Wreath: Brause 1/2 mm 180 nib, brush #tulipgraphy Today’s lyrics were suggested by @ourelvhenan.bsky.social 💚

Anyways, I've been working on this cross stitch—a screenshot from Dragon Age Inquisition—since AUGUST. Sometimes making things, being creative, takes time. As it well should. It's not a process that should be rushed through with the environment-destroying slop machine.

Amélie would disapprove of doing literally any side quests or bullying Alistair, and she'd leave the party if she didn't get to kill Howe. Ilia would disapprove of any harsh judgment and she would leave if Blackwall was banished with the Wardens or if he was left in prison by the inquisitor.

I was gonna stay away but I wanted to add to this! I am a human who dabbles in DA art, fics and stitching!! You can check my fics out over on AO3 under CloudedPoetry and my art and stitchy stuff I post here!! #DragonAge
