Still grumpy, but it helps!
Game of comparison continues. Have some eye candy, ladies and gentlemen!

Clive Standen.
<snip>
Clive Standen does make a pretty good Blackwall, but he is probably a bit too young-looking for Blackwall. Clive looks closer to Cullen's age then (Mid-late 30's) then Blackwall (about 45-50).
Can see him being Blackwall from 10/15 something years before DA:I, though. :3
That I can imagine. ![]()
Here's Clive Standen without the beard:
If that's what Blackwall looks like without the beard, then oh my laaaaaawd! *fans self*
On another note, his eye color looks about right for Blackwall. Blackwall has blue-grey eyes, right? Edit: Ha! I see he's got sort of hazel/green eyes, from the bigger picture. Hmm! I wouldn't mind if that's Blackwall's eye color.

Is Blackwall's age official?
Not that I know of, but you can pretty easily eyeball it. I'd be very surprised if it turns out he was any younger then about 43-45.

the beard makes you look older than you are ![]()
I know, but I wasn't going on the beard alone, I was going on the overall face detail - specifically lines, gaunt and wear. Compare it to Cullen's and you may see what I mean. I put Blackwall around the age of Duncan and Loghain, possibly slightly younger then the latter.
In any case, no reason why anyone has to agree with it - just my opinion. ![]()

They've implied pretty strongly that he and Solas are the oldest companions, and I thought there'd been something a few months ago placing his age as over 40. It's one of the reasons I was disappointed that they seemed to drop the grey streaks from his beard and hair. But we'll find out pretty soon, one way or another.

That is probably because of engine's limitations. Even if he has some gray hair, it's not as prominent as in concept art.
Also, I think these are funny musings.
"blackwall has like some of the longest hair out of the companions and advisors so consider him:

Ladies! Modern Blackwall? I think there is a pretty good likeness in the following pics.

EDIT: and since we're posting potential Blackwalls without their beards.. here is the same man without one:
I should be following this thread more closely because Blackwall is one character I know absolutely nothing about.

To tell the truth there is not really that much to go around. They seem to keep him under lock and key. Or at least it seems to us fans they do
Got confirmation on Twitter from David Hulegaard and Neil Thompson, art director for Dragon Age, on Blackwall's eye color!
@HulegaardBooks Since we've had a severe lack of Blackwall in the latest DAI showings, could you please tell us what color his eyes are?
@NFTM17 hmm... They look brown to me. What do you think?
@HulegaardBooks Hmm, hard to tell in that image. In other views they seem almost grey-blue? But it's hard to tell for sure in those, too!
@HulegaardBooks http://i.imgur.com/b1N77VX.png Here's an example of the grey-blue eyes. But thought I'd ask in case it's one of those eye glitches.
@HulegaardBooks @NeilEJT They look blue-grey in some of the images, but we want to make sure that's not a glitch, like Viv's blue eyes.
@NFTM17 @HulegaardBooks @Liz_Lehtonen They are a steely blue!

Oh my, dark hair and bright eyes = best combination ![]()

Well, the eyecolor is definitely right for this one! ![]()
Beard. Dark hair and steely blue eyes.
Lethal... And he loves humor. And he loves animals. And he works with wood as a hobby....
That's not fair! What other advantages he has against me? ![]()
Oh, Chanda, you are Twitter champion. ![]()
Well, it appears romancing Blackwall could be a hairy enterprise...
(Uh...sorry, couldn't resist)
I guess I will re-edit my one color artwork to reflect the confirmed color!
And now I have this strange urge to play with his eyebrows... ![]()
He has brown eyebrows now?
