Gorgeous. Don't suppose you'll share? *Bats eyelashes, offers cake*.. 

 

Ok, I didn't take sliders but I combined the different aspects of other sliders I found on reddit.  So if you're interested here's what I used.

Oh, and I removed all makeup and adjusted the ears so they don't clip through her hair.

Do you want her to have a Dalish sounding name?  I like giving my Dalish Welsh names, since they're so pretty and Dalish sounding.  Aderyn, Rhiannon and Nia are my favorites.

 

So, I tested the eyebrow mod (source) I found after some digging.  I'm not sure if I'll stick with her or go back and do some more tweaking.  I gave up any attempt at recreating Morrigan (though who's to say I won't try again O.o).

Beautiful! Well done.

Nice, thank you. I had the native one marked, but not the second. Maybe this will help. I've been trying to create a better Lavellan for days now and just can't seem to get all the features right.

The native one is my favorite set of sliders.  The nose is perfect for an elf.

Anyone has any name idea for Cullen's daughter? I'm writing (yet) another fanfic about this -_-

 

In my fanfic(s) she's around 6 to 8 years old by now, golden hair & golden eyes. Her mom's a Lavellan.

 

In my headcanon, Cullen's noodlets are Meredith, Moira, Myrna, Meryl (is a boy), and Morwen (don't ask what's with Cullen and the letter M, it's a long story), but I have those for a Trevelyan mom... they sound a bit too Celtic for a Dalish.

 

Maybe use one of those elven name generators? The DA elven language doesn't follow exactly the same structure as the Tolkien one, but even sindarin names tend to sound more appropriate for Dalish than regular Celtic/Gaelic names to me.

But then again, that's the internet for you. Post anything, give it a few days and someone will ctrl+c, ctrl+v it (I'm writing a book by now and posting on the web, so I have no idea if someone out there is plagiarising it, for instance). Which is why registering one's creations to secure legal rights is always important.

 

 

I think it's important to note that copyright laws are very hazy with regards to derivative works and the odds of your average fanartist being able to legally register their works are unlikely. There are clauses that supposedly cover things like parodies and such but the only real protection fanartists can rely on these days are the efforts of good samaritans who keep on top of things like proper attribution. With Google's image search, it's relatively easy to trace the owner of images you find on the internet (or, at the very least, easy to recognize that the site you've found may not be the original source). I've had complete strangers contact me about my artwork being stolen on other sites because they were cracking down on an art thief, and it really means a lot to know there are people out there kind enough to try to verify the sources of an image before enjoying it instead of resigning themselves to the chaotic nature of the internet and saying it can't be helped. To have your artwork shared with no connection to you - to have people forget the time, effort, and heart you poured into a piece as an individual - is very impersonal.

 

I don't mean to be critical of your actions at all, of course; I just felt like I should clarify how much fanartists really are at the mercy of the public.  I'm very appreciative of the effort people in this thread put in when it comes to properly sourcing images they find - it means a lot to know that some members of the fan community you are a part of are willing to go out of their way to honor your efforts.

Very nicely, and diplomatically, said.

Choosing Meredith as a name doesn't strike you as a bit odd, given his history? [I love it when parents do themes, or sound-alikes, and such, so all "M" names are great to me XD.]


Btw, for girl Welsh names I found the wonderful site Welsh Girl Names. So many pretty names on there *_*.

I think I would chose Freya a bit of a Norse god feeling for a Dalish Elf, and Jane.

I named my Nord in Skyrim Freya.  I love that name.

Good ole Meredith is the very reason for that name. (◡‿◡✿)  I have, uh... a lot of feelings about Cullen's relationship with Meredith (not like that, I mean generally as a friendship, a mentor/pupil relationship, an authority figure, even a parental figure in the absence of both their families), and they are complex and conflicting, and the way I interpret Cullen, he's capable of discerning the actions from the person and acknowledging that Meredith the person who was scared and overzealous but not unjust was one thing, and Knight-Commander Meredith who succumbed to red lyrium-induced mustache-twirling madness was another. The name is supposed to be about preserving the memory of his relationship with her in better times, giving her name a clean start in a place where he can hold no resentment over it, only love for his little Meredith noodlet who will be the best Meredith in all history, etc. It's all very convoluted and headcanon'y and bittersweet, as my interpretations usually are. :rolleyes:

 

Meredith also means "guardian of the sea" which my sea-loving Trevelyan who misses Ostwick very much just loved when Cullen suggested it.

 

Anyway, yes, I love the inherent cheesiness of parents doing themes with their poor kids' names too. The story behind the M for Cullen's noodlets is a bit convoluted too, but not gonna lie, all my headcanon babies for Anora and Alistair start with a C too just because.... cheese. :P

Wow, you guys give such good suggestions. Now I'm having a hard time choosing :lol:

 

I already wrote one with her inside, but didn't mention her name (it's the one for the 5K celebration). Since I'll keep writing about both of them, better give her a name. My boyfriend kept calling her Rose for some reason... I still like Rose & can imagine Cullen call her little girl with a very conservative English names, but she deserves better!

 

I always love writing Father-Daughter relationship. Guess that some personal things always come out in the end... Gosh I love my dad! Somehow some part of Cullen kept remind me of him. Maybe Dad!Cullen will be like him when he's older. :lol:

Well, you know... this guy kinda helped kill my dad, allied himself with the dark lord, killed my mentor figure, but since he crushed on my mom once I'll name a kid after him I guess. Harry's logic wasn't that sound either. :P

If Alistair and his warden queen managed to have children, I'd probably go traditional and choose from Bryce, Eleanor (sp?), Cailin, possibly Wynne, Rowan, Oriana, or Oren, though those last two might depend on Fergus's reaction.

Well... he join the Dark Lord under Mentor's order to help protecting him so... In any case the boy's called Albus ("Al") not Severus. Severus is his middle name. I can see Harry's logic tho, and his first son is still named James.

 

And I also agree on the fact that Harry's logic wasn't sound in any case. Was he ever sound logically? :P

Bryce, & Eleanor are good ideas for Alistair's & Warden's kids. Oren... Maybe not? I mean, I won't like it if I was named after a dead cousin... I'll feel like I was somehow a replacement. And if I was Fergus... having my dead kid's name popped up everytime, well IDK... :blink:

 

Edit: the idea's sweet but personally I don't think that it's a good idea to even mention it to Fergus... Hmmm... IDK. It just... shock me personally but well, don't mind me :P

I think if it was up to Alistair he'd name his kids Duncan and Wynne because they seem to be the people he cared for the most.

Seth MacFarlane is originally from Connecticut so his humor hits right at home. He's right up there with Patrick Stewart in terms of my favorite people. 

 

I have an outrageous crush on Seth MacFarlane. It's embarrassing, really. If I ever met him I'd either a. Flip out and tell him I loved him, or b. Stay entirely silent and cry myself to sleep afterwards.

 

Bryce, & Eleanor are good ideas for Alistair's & Warden's kids. Oren... Maybe not? I mean, I won't like it if I was named after a dead cousin... I'll feel like I was somehow a replacement. And if I was Fergus... having my dead kid's name popped up everytime, well IDK... :blink:

After everything my Warden went through, she would definitely name a son Fergus. He was the only thing she had to hold on to after Alistair broke up with her. Although, she'd actually probably end up arguing with Fergus about it what with him wanting her son named Bryce, so okay, the second son gets named Fergus. :P
