I'm happy to get my 10-15 hours a week for writing besides my family pestering, my work boring and my tv-serials mocking me. No time to try the toolset anew.

Nice prompt. Have an idea already, hope my cloudy mind is able to finish it.

At last my fanfic wardens reached Denerim. Finish so to call. I think about an ending with Leliana dying and a very depressed Alistair (they're in love in my story), but i fear that's to evil for my liking.

[Sushifer]

Hope all you Zevranites had a lovely holiday, and are having a lovely new year!

Seeing as Bite already did (yes, blame it all on her:devil:) I may as well drop an ad in here- I finally, finally, posted the first chapter of my Blight fic:

Exiles, focusing on the same Mahariel who’s been in my short pieces so far

Publishing it is... a disproportionately big deal for me, hah. I suppose I’ve never written, let alone let out into public view, anything like this before, but still. Zevran won’t be in it for a wee while, but when he does show up, he’ll be very important.

Right, time to stop shamelessly plugging my stuff. Ooh, this prompt looks like fun. Maybe I’ll finally enter again after all these months ( to be fair, I did stop entering because all writing energy was going on my fic to get it to a good position from which to start posting, but, eh, I miss prompts)

@ Bloodsong - just finished watching the tutorial - it was ABFAB!

It appears to be easier than DAZ - so this thread will be soon spammed with Zevran hotness.

PPLs will need to join The NSFW room to see the best work - haha

Into the Tent

Wait, it’s not what you think! For this prompt, the Warden (or any other character!) has decided that the best way to learn what our favorite Antivan elf is all about is to observe his tent* and what he keeps in it while Zevran is away.  What does the character discover inside his tent? Something he/she likes? Something alarming? Zevran’s secret stash of [???]? It could be something very serious/shocking, that will alter the character’s perception of Zevran forever; it could be something sweet and touching; or it could just be something hilarious! And: Does the character get caught in the act?
(Alternatively, Zevran could be using this as a method of gathering information about the Warden or another character.)

* doesn’t necessarily have to be a tent, of course

Medium: Any!

Buried Treasure
Time: 45 min

I don't even know.  I wanted to do an animated short, or failing that, a storyboard.  Except I don't really draw.  So I wrote lyrics describing the scene, and then verbally narrated the storyboard.  XD  Whatever, it was fun.

[BloodsongVengeance]

hahahhaaha!

bite, it's EXACTLY that!

actually, i don't think a tent interior would take more than 3 hours... if one started with a base i have pre-made. which *might* be posted on the da nexus somewhere.... it's really just poking through the model base list in the toolset and moving things around. and finding crazy stuff like torture manacles and trying to figure out how to put them in there.... :X


congratulations, sushifer! i know it was 'kind of a big deal' for me to start 'publishing' bannon & zevran. keep up the good work, cuz you know the fans are insatiable
and please do advertise. well, i like it, anyhow. especially when im trying to find something someone mentioned but i didn't get to read yet. maybe a link in your signature...

tryyn: less talk, more rock! uh, i mean work. ;D
ps... i put some test poser bannon pics up on the blog, if you want to give those a critical eye. they are definitely not up to par yet :/


bravo, corker! (or brava, if you prefer. i'm not picky.) your written-out script directions are much more detailed than my storyboard scribbles ever are. i liked zevran switching into defensive devil-may-care mode. (or bannon calls it his 'f-u attitude'). and it makes me wonder how things will play out about all that.


i still dont have an idea for this prompt. :/ unless..... hmm... okay, maybe.

[Tryynity]

@ Bloodsong - I cant wait now - because I have a definate feeling I will be successful with this attempt.

But I do have my own business to run & I am committed to my writing & I have a housefull of kids on holidays - which means distractions - pool duty - constant fullfilment of demands & summons.

Not to mention 2 years of book-keeping that I prolly need to address before I get hauled to jail. I am allergic to numbers which is why I put it off for so long... ideally would luv a book-keeper to do this right now but finances say noooo.

So I have to dose up on anti-histimines and JUST DO IT!

@ Sushi - yea grats - I have story alerted you and favourited you - I will come back later to read.

@ Nice work Corker - I read and commented - I would love to animate that scene... oneday...

Okay, this isn't Zevran related, but it's hysterical. I was searching in the toolset for Morrigan's line when the group encounters Sten in Lothering. I found a dialogue file called zz_sten_cage, so i open it, and find this:



   

I love dev easter eggs!

[BloodsongVengeance]

tryyn: im trying to motivate you, now stop procrastinating on your procratination! HOW can you still have kidz on holiday? omg, aren't holidays over????! call their parents and get rid of them! wait, are they your kids? heck, you ought to be used to them by now. ;P
....oh wait wait wait... is school out for summer!??!?! GAH!

::reads back:: omg, i had a semi-idea for the prompt? i wonder what it was... :X

tk: you're nuts there's some kind of dialogue bit somewhere, where it seems to be describing zevran's ambush. it talks about the apparently dead bodies starting to stand up. i guess it was all before they did cutscenes and scripts to do all of it 'for real.'

[Tryynity]

@bloodsong - yes school here has 6 weeks holidays over Dec/Jan - I have enough trouble getting my REAL work done each day... my creativity is suffering badly this week  good chance I will miss submitting something for the prompt even.

I was supposed to start my Multimedia (video production, animation) course @ 6th Feb - I am pinning this down as the official start date of my Self Induced Media Studies - featuring DA Toolset.

Semester 1 - Pinups & Face Morphs & Character Design
Semester 2 - Cutscene for Music Video
Semester 3 - Full Cutscene - Animations, SoundFX - FaceFX
Semester 4 - Create a total Original Mod - or Cutscene Trailer from scratch

Okay maybe slightly ambitious as I have embarked on shooting a video series a joint venture with my 8 yr old daughter.

@tryyn: all righty! if you need a drill seargeant, let me know. er, instructor. that's what i meant.

i do want to point out... if you were planning on going from short and simple to more complex and lengthy... that a video short might actually be easier/faster than a whole music video. 'it takes a thief' for example, took me like 3 weeks or something, whereas doing the whole 'headgames' music video took me at least 3 months. of course, it depends on how much 'generic' game footage you can/want to use in your video.

[Tryynity]

@bloodsong I was thinking along the lines of simplicity rather than time it takes. Also exploring different parts of the toolset and their functions.

Time: 3 hours (Unless you want to do something in some sort of crazy fancy medium that requires more time? If so, let me know so we can work something out or whatever!)

Prize: If you don’t mind possibly having to wait a while (since I've done such an abysmal job of getting Danijou's done in a timely fashion from forever ago; I need to finish it first!), I’ll draw you something! (I can also write you something, though I’ve never written something for someone else before. >_>)

Prompts: 2 (i think?)

WARNING: this is my blood mage Jorath.  He is very dark.  He, and this Zev, are NOT fluffy kittens and bunnies.  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Also, I can't get the BSN blog feature to work like I want it to, so this week's story is on Google Docs.  Click on the link to view the story, it should be available to anyone with the link.  Comments are enabled, if you'd like to add some.to the document.  Please let me know if the link doesn't work. 

Okay, got BSN blogs to finally cooperate with me.  Updated the link.

Help me, Shadow, I don't have rights to post in the Dragon Age II thread you made to post our entries for the Asunder challenge.   I don't own DA2, I think that's why...

[Shadow of Light Dragon]

It's because it's a 'registered game' only thread :/ You need the little DA2 icon to post.

But you can still post in the original competition thread and I can transfer it over for you! Personally I'd wait until after the winners are announced, just to be safe, but it's up to you.

[Zaxarus]

@Tklivory
Great nonfluffy story. Have you written more about Jorath?

Into the Tent

Time: 1 hour
Deadline: Saturday, January 14th at 10pm CST
Prompts: 2 ish


Background: Kyora is a ronin assassin - mercenary.  Beautiful and deadly.  A fiery red head, she is known as The Black Widow Assassin, she has a special way in which she brings death to her target.  

She has infiltrated Warden Kyerra's camp with the intention of finishing the job that Zevran failed.  She is pre-Taliesen, and hired by Ignacio before they arrive in Denerim.


Reconnoitre
 
MT
Ordinary things you would expect: potions, vials of strange looking concoctions, an assortment of dried herbs & powdered substances. Nothing out of the ordinary except the tiny humanlike skulls, now they intrigue me.

LT
I found various books of different topics:  ballads, short stories, and an unabridged version of The Chant. Tucked away secretly were some saucy romance novels, despite what she claims about ‘urges’, I believe our little ex-chantry sister’s are considerable, something that can be used to my advantage in the future I am sure.

ST
A book – The Qun.

AT
This was the most interesting so far:  one pair of female smallclothes, I believe to be Morrigan’s, an amulet that looks as though it has been broken and repaired, and a toy warden doll. Finally, a portrait of a middle aged dark-haired man with tanned skin, medium beard, who bears no family resemblance I can only wonder who the mystery man is, a lover perhaps?

KT
I have no details on the other warden; she is Dalish and appears to have no possessions other than the clothes she wears, her bow and quiver full of arrows, and a pair of intricately designed daggers....


“A-hem,” the sound of a cough, came from behind.

Kyora spun in a tight circle and looked up to see the very angry ex-crow glaring at her.

“You have to the count of ten to tell me what it is you are doing before I cut your throat,” the blonde assassin hissed.

Kyora changed position slowly so she was on her knees and smiled, “Why it seems I am doing no different than what you have in the past.” She tapped the book, “Very interesting reading.”

“How so?”

“Well saves me the trouble now doesn’t it,” Kyora smiled again languidly. “Come now, surely you don’t condemn me for wanting to know more about those I travel with? Were your reasons so different?”

“That was a long time ago my dear, I forgot I even had the book still.”

“Interesting, they are not aware of this fact... I suppose?”

Zevran eyed Kyora carefully; her look was extremely catlike; the kind of look a cat would have, if it had just discovered where the secret mouse hole was.
 
The End

@ TK - I like Jorath - hope you write more about him. Im wondering if he has the Black Widow spider tattooed for the same reason Kyora is known as "The Black Widow Assassin" not very original I know - I created her for Ezio LOL... orginally.

His family put it on him, actually, before they sent him to the Tower (which was done under the guise of a fight with the Templars sent to 'claim' him).  It's a reminder of where he came from as well as a depiction of  the Fade form usually taken by members of his family upon their coming of age.

@ tryyn: aha, in that case... music video with just animations *would* indeed be simpler than a video short with animations, dialogue & facefx, soundfx, etc.

and WHAT book!??! grr! the obvious one for zevran doesn't seem to make sense... in that it would make the group kill him over it. ...must be his secret heart-shaped diary. ::nods sagely::
i was going to guess it was a 'little critter' book, but... ::ahem:: i know of no such things. and 'just go to bed' is not my all-time favorite.


@tk:
jorath sounds deliciously evil! i am drooling in anticipation. sado-masochist that i am (i didnt just say that, no), i'm waiting to read it til i have some time.

[Tryynity]

@bloodsong - I am not sure entirely what you mean - let me try to answer LOL

The book really should be scraps of paper, but for sake of the story was more tangible - even so, the rest of the companions would have had to find it. Zev had it stashed away... how? You need to ask him - considering he hid gloves from the Crows for awhile - I assume he was good at it.

If caught with the book - he could have lied his head off - he is good at that.

Sorry I haven't commented on your guys' stuff yet! I thought I might wait 'til I reread them all later when judging. But rest assured that I have read and very much enjoyed them all so far and I will leave actual comments later. :3

A reminder to anyone else interested in doing this prompt that the deadline is in a bit more than a day! (Roughly 35 hours, by my estimate. XD) Anyone think they might need a slight extension? In fact, I probably won't be back to look at everything until an hour or two after the deadline, if that helps...

[Tryynity]

I noticed there is no Zevran pics posted so far ....

I decided to skip writing a story for Corker - since she is a writer and I tried to do a picture for her.

The idea in my head was sooo much better but this was the best I could do.

Called "Zevran Wants To Vex You Up" it is based around that.





FYI - It is supposed to be an album cover for a record - you young ones maybe have never seen one LOL
