It is done! My most detailed and biggest piece of this year and I'm so very proud of it! Firion and Lucanis are out enjoying their date in Treviso. 🩷 #rookanis #LucanisDellamorte #FirionAldwir #lucarion #DAFanFriday #DAart #DragonAgeFanart #DragonAge #DragonAgeTheVeilguard #strnart

Lucanis and my Rook Firion are out in Treviso on a date. Firion is walking on a parapet with his arms spread for balance and Lucanis is holding his hand, looking up at him with love and admiration. Firion is wearing his usual green tunic and elven leggins (barefoot of course) and on his shoulders he's wearing Lucanis' mage killer jacket. Lucanis himself is wearing casual clothes: a light blue button down and his usual grey pants. In the background you can see the beauty of Treviso, the canals and bridges and the market lights. I worked my butt off on this one, enjoy!

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome. I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at. No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

ATTENTION ARTISTS AND ANY ASPIRING PIXEL ARTISTS!!! Aseprite is on sale on Steam!! It's a Pixel art program for art/animating and I highly recommend! (I have almost 700 hours in it!) It's $13 and a one time payment for an excellent program!!

An anecdotal guideline on how I like to post art on Bluesky! This is what works for me, it might not be 100% solid so use it with a grain of salt 🙏 #arttips #artsky

A guide with recommendations on what size and format to post art in on Bluesky.

Bluesky converts images to JPEG/JPG so it is recommended to use your own software to export your art as JPEG/JPG. This is to avoid Bluesky's rough format conversion.

The minimum size seems to be 900 pixels on both the width and height dimensions with a maximum of 2000 pixels likewise.

The recommended size seems to be between 1200 pixels to 1800 pixels on both sides.

For pixel art, it is recommended to post exactly in 900 pixels or 1200 pixels for the width.

This is because the width seems to be the most important for pixel art online display.

Additional Notes:
The maximum is 2000 pixels, but recommended to keep below this to avoid possible compression.

Applying a "unsharpen mask" at 10% strength helps with image clearness.

To keep your art safe, do not upload in anything more than 72dpi.

‪I was planning to draw something else today but when the inspiration to draw my son comes, I can't resist! 😭 (practising some anatomy) #FirionAldwir #DArook #DragonAge #DATV #DragonAgeTheVeilguard #strnart

An elven Rook named Firion. He has long blond hair that he's putting up in a bun. He's shirtless and looking at someone off-screen with a cheeky smile (probably his lover Lucanis after they spent the night together?)

I had a devil @zekearts.bsky.social in my ear and that devil whispered "what if hairstyle swap? 😈" #LucanisDellamorte #IllarioDellamorte #DAart #DragonAge #DragonAgeTheVeilguard #myart #strnart

Digital art of Lucanis and Illario. Their hairstyles are swapped for funsies.

Silly birthday doodle for @lynnerdo.bsky.social 💕🥳 Soryn making sure the little Crow is well rested for the next mission (including a close-up because I really like how their faces turned out and of course a Spite edition 😈) #Lucanis #Spite #DAart #DragonAge #DragonAgeTheVeilguard #myArt #strnart

Digital art of the playable character Rook (Soryn) and the character Lucanis Dellamorte from the video game Dragon Age The Veilguard. Soryn is holding Lucanis up against the wall (because he's a short king) and is telling him to "go tf to sleep". Lucanis is blushing because he has a crush on Rook (yes, I believe it).

Close-up of their faces from the previous picture

Another close-up of their faces but this time it's Spite (the demon who possesses Lucanis). He has a smug expression.

I wanted to do a quick sketch and lighting practise and came up with a lil something for @turidtorkil.bsky.social (and myself): our two baby boys Faladir and Firion enjoying a little downtime after training maybe? 💕 #DArook #DragonAge #DragonAgeTheVeilguard #myArt #strnart #DAFanFriday

Two elven Rooks from the video game Dragon Age the Veilguard. Their names are Faladir and Firion. Faladir is braiding Firion's hair and he has a heart speech bubble above his had. He's probably dying inside because he has a big big crush on Firion, tehe

So how's romancing Lucanis going for you, Rook?🧍‍♀️ - based on Friends S09E09 #Rookanis #DArook #NeveGallus #DragonAge #DragonAgeTheVeilguard #DragonAgeArt #DAart #myart #strnart

A comic page of the player character Rook and the character Neve Gallus from the video game Dragon Age The Veilguard. They're both holding a drink and gossiping. There are sub-titles added and Rook is saying "And then we had a little... eye-contact." Neve is answering sarcastically: "Eye-contact? Wow, I hope you were using protection."

"OXYGEN" 🫧 Another doodle that turned into a full painting! It's #Rookanis for #Mermay! This is part of a mermaid/pirate AU series that I am working on. 🥰 #DragonAge #DragonAgeTheVeilguard #DragonAgeArt #DAart #myart #strnart

A painting of the characters Lucanis and Rook (Rookanis) from the video game Dragon Age The Veilguard. Rook is depicted as a merman and they're kissing under water.

Picture of the playable character Rook from the game Dragon Age The Veilguard reimagined as a merman for mermay. He has long blond hair and turquoise and pink scales and blue fins. His elf ears have blue fins as well.
