Sounds like a plan. We could write down ideas in there and if any of the artists find themselves inspired then they can take the idea and make something pretty! Same with fanfic and stuff like that too!
Who will make the thread? I've never started one so I have no idea how it works. And can anyone start a new thread in the group or just the creator of the group?

Anyone, so long as you're a member. You should already be in there as one.
I'll give it a go then 
I did too. Bronto's at least *look* like a big DA version of a rhino.
How interesting! Cause you guys are right; I can see the rhino in their look. But interestingly I always assumed they were pig-like. The size and shape of the body, the behavior, the environment, the noises they make, were all boar-ish to me. But both animals are pretty similar, even though I never thought of it before!
Boar
Rhino
The reason why I'm truly leaning towards "pig mounts" referring to brontos is because, well, what else could it refer to lol (in the sense that "lizard mount" almost certainly refers to wyvern... although, true, speculation), and because of the nugs, which live in the same environment as the bronto, so I think they are related and both could be considered pig-like.
I'm betting on brontos as well.
I want a bronto 
he can be called Spud. He can go and play with Peas and Carrot the Mabari hounds
Edit: Had to delete the thread as I realized that if many people post I don't think I can manage the collecting of the suggestions :/ Feel free to start another one though! Sorry!
Oh man, he'd start sifting through a pile and at first it would be some headshots and then he'd be "Why aren't there any drawings of the others?" and then with the "Oh. Oh my ..."
Edit, because I can't spell things.
I do like it. I like the idea of getting busted. Like the time I was trying to talk Eamon out of getting Alistair to be king. Me: "So? His mother was just a scullery maid."
Alistair: "I'm standing right here you know..."
Me: "OH!!" embarrassed. lol!
But something more romantic. Something that would me the one stammering and blushing

Ooh,I remember that scene...Awkward! xD
Nah, it's a Tumblr artist. Not sure who, but I'm on mobile so I'm unable to link it properly.I like it! Is it by one of the DA artists?

It looks just like that concept they showed, though (where they were talking about how they made her face more angular in DAI to reflect her personality or something like that). I love it.
EDIT: This is the official concept art and discussion that I was thinking of. The style's not as similar as I remembered but I was still surprised to read that the person who made the Cassandra in a dress fanart is a student and not a pro.

Yeah, that artist does a lot of good fanarthttp://frednought.tumblr.com/

Thought you all would like this!
That is lovely. Thank you for sharing it.
I also found the artist at: http://kyuubifred.deviantart.com/
I like that style for Cass. Not too flouncy and all that. Appropriate for the occasion. Lil bits of exquisite detail. understated elegance.
I was also wondering abt Viv's agenda just now after seeing her pic in the twitter thread. Do you think she might think, or be angling for Celene's spot? I mean, she's pretty high up in the food chain for a mage. And if these wars result in the mage glass ceiling being broken...and with Celene off and embroiled in whatever, and Duke Gaspard doing his thing. Both fighting for the throne...but...I wonder if Viv may think that she could possibly have a shot at bouncing them both out and slipping on in? She is a go getter.
Maybe she's not so much interested in the Circle status Quo as we assume? Although, Idk how they are abt blood and the throne, but...sooner or later dynasties do change.
Just a thought.
My daily Cullen doodle...
What would he do when the Inquisitor allows him a little break ? ^^
Studious baby...
Hey, I thought of something today.
Let's assume Cullen wants to restore the Circle (because we know he does/says something that will make us either love him or hate him, and Circle is one of those divisive things). He probably wants it reformed, because he saw that it doesn't work the way it should. Now imagine that the Inquisitor is a mage, and Cullen falls in love with her/him. The was no place for such relationship in the Circle system before! So maybe Cullen's relationship with mage!Quisitor will make him consider pushing the reforms even further than he originally intended? Like, to allow mages and templars to have families, even with each other. What if Cullen's love for mage!Quisitor will make him fight for that? It may actually change the outcome of the game! Or at least of some quests.
If Cullen did support a reformed circle system where mages could learn and be protected but still have their families, he and my Inquisitor would be on exactly the same page about it.
I hope not, but i keep remembering Gaider saying something about how Cullen fans won't like the direction they're taking him, and I get all nervous. i mean, it's Gaider, so it's not exactly reliable, but still...
I tried to finish that playthrough with Alistair where he dumped me for just considering keeping Loghain alive (a possible bug, still not sure...) but i couldn't do it. I ended up re-loading to fix it. Difficult romances are fun, but impossible doomed-from-the-start ones - not so much.
There was context for what Gaider said, unless I'm thinking of a different quote. He has also said there is angst in Cullen's future, but I think that's pretty safe to say for every DA character.
What he said about Cullen fans not liking the direction is I think because he felt that Cullen fans had strong headcanons about him. I think Gaider is overestimating how attached we are to our headcanons, for the record - we speculate because we like the character and we enjoy talking about him, but I don't think most of us will be mad if they take him in an awesome but unexpected direction.
Anyway, I thought he was saying was he was afraid that Cullen's fans wouldn't like any direction they took him in because it wouldn't be exactly how we imagined, not that there was something specific the writers were doing that we wouldn't like.
I love the idea of romancing Cullen with a mage because I KNOW there will be friction there. I want it to be a major stumbling block, but one we can overcome.
Me too. I assume Cullen would have issues with romancing a mage (or an Inquisitor at all, given what being the Inquisitor means.) But if they allow a certain class/race/whatever to initiate a romance with Cullen at all, I hope there's some possibility of a good ending.
I really, really dislike unavoidable bad endings in games. The difference between a game and a novel or a movie is the player's ability to directly affect the story with our choices. When that is taken away, I feel like the engagement potential of the medium is lost.
I don't love unavoidable happy endings, either, for the same reason. The possibility of a fail state adds stakes to the player's decisions and makes our input more important, which to me is a good thing. If for some reason there has to be a single standard ending to a story path, though, I prefer a positive one over a negative one because I feel like it actually mattered somewhat that I was there.
I think there should be the possibility of Cullen ending the romance. You shouldn't be able to mistreat him or make decisions that violate his morals and keep him around. I just don't want it to be inevitable, I want it to based on the player's choices.
I don't think we'll EVER see that in-game, but it makes for fun thought-food. What would Cullen be like as the father of one or more mages?
I actually think he'd be a bit like Malcolm Hawke - loving to his children, but impressing strongly upon them the dangers of magic and demons, and that they have to be more careful than other people in order to keep themselves and others safe.
Whether or not Cullen can fall in love with a mage Inquisitor, I can't see him ever not loving his child, even if that child happened to be born a mage.
If he does end up in a romance with my particular Inquisitor, he'll get to be a dad to her kids.

This is honestly my favorite fan art of Cullen ever. I love his expression and the firelight.
It doesn't hurt that my Inquisitor loves to read, so if Cullen is a reader too they'd have that in common.
I loooove this. I can so see him being big into reading. Its something of a,habit he could have picked up being a templar
Totally agree. I have always imagined that his character would seek out the pleasure of an entertaining or informative book in his spare time. Seems like the type, and Mello captured the image of it almost exactly as I see it in my head...as she so often does anyway. 
The reason why I'm truly leaning towards "pig mounts" referring to brontos is because, well, what else could it refer to lol
