(heavy sigh) Payroo, you've made it possible for me to go to sleep and have happy Varric dreams.

PSH. Where's the fun in canon pairings?

I kid. Very sweet! And you got a lovely range of colors in his hair.

It's like one of those unauthorized tabloid fodder books, like the ones about Brangelina's relationship or something xDD

It's so beautiful though, payroo... *sheds tear*

The ideas! No! Make them stop coming! Gah! Damn enabler!

I love it, Payroo! From Varric/Bianca to the colouring to the cheeeeeeeesy blurb and title XD

I was having so much fun with the awful text that it might have actually been criminal.

Awww, sweet Varric-filled dreams!

[GameBoyish]

I agree that the cheeky covers are much better than the smutty covers...



But then we enjoy having new contributors! Just make sure you don't step past your boundaries...



Great job as always PayRoo! I just enjoy the way you colour...



And Aimo, that pairing rocks! (pun not intended)



So the only pairings we haven't seen are



Varric X Anders

Varric X Merrill

Varric X Bethany

Varric X Momma Hawke



And perhaps a one-on-one Varric X Aveline

I just... ...I just really love lurking on this thread, and I love the romance-novel meme, and while I don't want this thread to get shut down for being too raunchy, I also don't want it to become elitist or... un-encouraging for new people or people like myself who possess--shall we say--minimal drawing talent... I mean, who's to decide what's "funny" or not? Let's just encourage each other....

We have artists of all levels here! No worries! Just try browsing through the older threads...

But sometimes we must advise against things that step way past the boundaries... Like the romance novel covers should remain cheesy and sexy rather than smutty, although personally, I have nothing against smut but the cheesy novel meme just ends up losing its charm...

Has Varric's skill tree been posted yet? Because I could translate the German version.

Me too but there have been people on other sites pointing out this thread as an example of Bioware attracting the wrong crowd. Among other supposed failings.

*gasp* THIS thread? Everytime I poke my head in here, you all are having so much fun! People on other sites are losers

Onlookers see drawing and such and conclude it's tali-level srs bsnes. In all fairness without some in-depth reading it probably is quite easy to confuse it for such

Yes; still, if you take into account the amount of quality artwork posted and the "lol, dwarf" aspect then it shouldn't be too surprising this thread manages to stand out, or gets more frequent mentions.

I believe Varric himself wouldn't have it any other way

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~

[mellifera]

Bianca actually transforms into a lute as well.

Probably not.

But I bet every time you flirt with him Bianca comes out and sits on his lap and glares at you. She seems like the posessive sort.

His brother's dead wife.

'Tis quite a tragic story, really.

[Pseudo the Mustachioed]

Bianca is decorated with paint made from the ashes of his dead wife.

This **** writes itself.
Though I think Mary sort of hinted that there is no dead wife.

Bianca is made from the bones of his dead wife. Her hair is Bianca's strings.

[Anarya]

Bianca is possessed by the spirit of his dead wife.



Dammit now I really want to know how Bianca got her name.
