I have Rider Waite deck, do I count as a fan? <3 Anyway that design did not grow on me, I don't know why, it's so specific, not ugly no no no, but it's not my cup of tea :innocent:
Your interpretation "a new beginning, but one that comes suddenly (ans sometimes violently)"sounds awesome for that imho. But maybe there are more fitting cards if you want it also with interpretation. Me thinks that "ace of swords" sounds cool enough to be associated with Zevran.


Swords have the nastiest cards in the deck in tarot; 10 of swords specifically. Everyone assumes the Death card or Hanged Man to visually be the worse, but actually it's the innoculously looking sword suit that has the nastiest associations.

Ace of Swords is a mixed blessing card as Aces are usually "good" cards, but it's in the sword deck:

Hokey Mysticism Which You Can Take With A Grain Of Salt If You Need To said...

This card resonates to the vibrational frequency of the number one, not
only because it is the beginning of the suite (ace), but also because
the erect sword visually mimics the number one. This means that new
projects, ideas, thoughts, or relationships are on the horizon. Due to
the sharp nature of this card, you had better be mindful and clear about
your intentions first before starting these new ventures.


LOL TOP OF PAGE HAVE PAINTING AGAIN:

halfway
through doing it it reminded me of Renaissance paintings that liked to
shove imagery in their portraits, so am doing that. The brandy is
antivan! Obviously. Missa will hold the ace of swords... not sure about
the fan, but commeeee onnnn it's a fan! I already pimped her out in
bling, only fair.

It's Armor of the Elven Warden here.  It's basically a re-color of the Ancient Elven Armor, but the modder is actively developing it further.  Any race/gender can wear it.

It looks amazing. o.o

I checked nexus and it seems like the mod also adds the 'shoulder-thing' to female elfs. The one thing I hate about the Ancient Elven Armor Set is that the male version is more beautiful than the female version.

Thanks sami jo, I have been lookig for a nice medium armor. x3

Nine of swords is pretty awful as well @@ Then again, I like the Thoth tarot as opposed to the Raider-Waite and GD decks, so... different interpretations for sure. RW does have the advantage of being more pictoral. But I have to admit, Crowley -- there was someone who lived exactly the way he wanted to live.

ANYWAY! soignee, that painting is amazing.

Edit: I"m just posting WAY too slow today.  I can't make more coffee without water dammit!

Because cous cous is bland. It needs some kind of spice with it. Maybe some raisins.

I know people like the chance to be King/Queen and the rest of the family is either adorable (Oren) or badass (Bryce and Eleanor) but how people think the origin itself is the most compelling...they fight giant rats. One of the NPCs comments how cliched it is. Seriously? How does that equal 'most well-done'? When the characters themselves get bored, the origin is boring. And the whole point of the origin is to go to your brother's room for a nice goodbye. That doesn't really hold up to all the violence and epicness the other origins have. The epic vengeance quest with Howe? You can go on an epic vengeance quest in the other origns, too.

I like playing HNF. I actually really like HNF, CEF, and DCF all about the same. I like how the HNF just fits into the world -- she's recognized by quite a few NPCs (not enough of them if you ask me, however), gets to become queen, keeps her lover... she's just a lot of fun. I like the CEF and DCF both because it's fun playing the underdog who ends up on top of the world. Plus dwarves have the sexiest models!

Yeah, HN has a good integration but the actual origin itself...stop your dog from bothering the cook and go find your brother. Fun.

ilu EJ, you know what to say to me.

Also if there was ever a Dragon Age movie, it would be a Couscous, prolly like CZ's character. Though obviously minus teh gheys, AS GOSH WE CANNOT HAVE THAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE

What? *grin* They do, you know. They actually have curves! Those tiny waists and big butts get me every time.



Zevran's royal scandal speech is great when it's a HNM! Talking about how women do NOT like to share their men and all.

And you know if it were a guy he'd fall in love with Morrigan and Leliana would pine after him but he wouldn't notice and then after Morrigan leaves and he's heartbroken Leliana tries to comfort him and you see hints that he' finally noticed her...

Or if it's a girl she'd be Queen, naturally. Except Alistair would do an epic propoal at the Landsmeet instead of her forcing the issue. They probably wouldn't even mention the fertility issues...

thanks! there's something not right with it at the moment and it's pissing me off somewhat. I think Zevran's out of persepctive and I need to repaint him, and possibly shave some booty off of Missa cause damn the gurllll is stacked.

And oooooh Goya... although everyone knows him for his war paintings and jupiter eating his children, I really like his portraits.

On the subject of human nobles; how does the "royal scandal" work out exactly? Is that just a comment from Zevran or does it show up in the epilogue somehow? I have a male HN that I decided is going to try to marry Anora but he is currently involved with both Zev and Morrigan and I can't decide what he is going to do about that.

The HN origin is okay but certainly not the best but all the attention the female version got somehow made me dislike my own character so much I don't have her as avatar anymore.

Hype-backlash. It may not be rational, but it doesn't stop it from following anything really popular.

Lol, until now I was sure the perspective is tiny little bit out of order on purpose *has long history of turning mistakes into features* I wouldn't repaint, but if you think you can make it better don't let me stop you :)

I always liked his autoportrait -sexy painter is sexy- and this lady

It's just an additional dialog.  How it goes depends on Zevran's approval and how you answer him.

But they do stay together if you choose the right option and without the epilogue saying they became miserable forever or somehing? I just that if it's not possible it's better if he is with Morrigan who is going to leave anyway.

I know this is a bit off topic and I appologize, but..Im bout to toss this computer out the window and figured Team Zevran has a ton of smart people posting..Hopefully someone can help..Yep, I did try on the correct forum, but they pointed me to the Wiki, which helped a little but left me still confused...



Question is, any of you Zevvie fans out there familiar with saving .dds files in Photoshop using the Nvidia Plugin? If so, could I please bother you with a couple of questions before I have a mental breakdown.....



Thanks all, sorry again for the off topic post.

It has no effect at all on the epilogue if they stay together.  There are a few reasons they may not stay together though (I'm trying not to be TOO spoilerish here).
