I admit when you spend your time taking all that into account behind the camera, that's usually the first thing you notice about someone else's work. That's why I don't bother entering my stuff into competitions at local fairs and whatnot - the ones that win are usually "ooh cute baby!" and the amazingly put together pieces with stunning composition and lighting get ignored for "teh cute." 

 

How about looking things like this: the fact that you're the first to took those shots from that angles long before anyone else, and now that people are "copying" your ideas, that shows that they acknowledge your works are really great.

 

My Mom do lots of photography on the higher intermediate level by now, and some people try to copy the subject & composition of one shot she did which got its way into the cover of a  published book of Finalists' Works of a contest. She managed to take the whole story with a laugh saying that it means her work is really great. But that's her and your reaction is normal.

 

I don't mean anything mean by saying these. I don't do photos so it had never been a concern for me...

 

Have a Cullen

Poor Solas.

 

He doesn't mind the weeping or the blushing, he can learn to live with that. He does however mind the current location of where her hands are grasping at him, since any lower and he might end up yelling "ELVEN GLORY!"

 

In the old days, faux-pas like that would cause someone to enter Uthenera for a couple decades, simply out of awkwardness...

That geendelle pic, with cullen underneath a waterfall is awesome to me. I think a perfect setting for a chapter of my Cullen x Amell fan fiction after the fade sequence he sits next to a waterfall as he thinks about what happens. Then Edna Amell comes up on the scene and has a talk with him about what happened in the fade, I think that could work actually. I will end it by my Warden telling him that he will never have to worry about duty to the order with her, since you can be in love, and still carry out his duty as a Templar. Since as a grey warden, I am outside the control of the circle and I am bound by my own rules.

Wait, you're siding with Templars on this PT right? No Cullen then?

No, Rhiannon conscripted the mages because she saw them as the more immediate threat - so yes, I have Before the Dawn. 

 

She may have lost the Templars at Therinfall Redoubt, but the first thing she did when she got the chance was to bring in the remaining loyal Templars via the war table mission. She got the mission last night to have more recruits trained by "Ser," but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. She was willing to make that sacrifice herself, but she couldn't do that to others, especially when they wouldn't know the risks. She was preparing to be a Templar prior to the Conclave, so it made sense for her to follow through with the training. I assume that decision at least made Cullen very happy.

Cullen. Excellent

 

You know, the way you tell her story it sounds super interesting. Someone must write that as a fic. Might be on the rather tragic side but it'll be a helluva of a story.

Whoa that greendelle picture is yummy.

I did actually have something constructive to add to the thread, but for the life of me I can no longer remember what it was. Whoops!

LOL - too bad I'm not a writer! I would love to see a fic with that type of story though! I don't think I've come across any with the choices I've made.

I agree! Ninetozero often laments the lack of Cullne/Warrior Templar pairings and i have to agree. That chunk of the fanbase is missing from the fanfic portion of things. I can't do it though, cause it is hard for me to tap into the warrior/religious mindset.  I have much easier time writing rogues and mages that are either irreverent or straight up hate the chantry.  Of course, my characters are often immature, and I think you need a level of maturity to really touch the depth of the struggle of a templar who is romancing Cullen.  It would take finesse, i think, to do it justice (and I write like I am holding a magenta crayon!!!)

 

I would read it tho!  The conversations between Cullen and a templar female could be amazing!!!

 

Maybe you should give it a try MelissaGT!!  You are an artist, after all!!! Maybe it is time to dabble in some writing....

Or find some writers who might want? Ask in Tumblr?

 

I mean I saw lots of pairings of Fanfic Writer/ Fan Artist (Greendelle/EternalShiva being a famous example, or Artsyneurotic/Fatally-procrastinating did some collaborations too IIRC). It seems really fun to do. I mean, some writers are literally asking for prompts all the time... Why not some screenarcher/writers? It's still a pairing of Visual/Writing.

 

Edit: (And Mel, once your shots are associated with a story, it gives you better exposure no? People who read the story would usually see the artwork associated with it, or in your case shots. Associations. It works, I can't unsee Greendelle's companion piece when I read Shiva's Chants & Mirror)

It's one thing for me to write a background story, but I just don't think I could write dialogue...and I most certainly couldn't write smut...and there has to be some smut! Rhiannon may be a KISA, but she still likes to get down!

Hmmm, I didn't know I could do that! I would love to see someone give it a shot. I could provide a great background to build off of so whoever does could get an idea of her personality. 

 

I also decided I'm going to speed-run to the end of the game so that I can get everything I need to make her romance vid. Then I'll just reload to right before the "point of no return" so I can continue on with my completionist run.

There are way too many Cullen/Lavellan mage fics lol i would love to read a good Templar one.

This thread is moving so fast, really hard to catch up but I try

 

Yeah, I've been noticing the same thing, but not to toot my own horn or anything, I think mine have a different "look" because I usually play with all the other stuff like lighting, tone mapping, etc etc. 

 

I am so glad that you share your beautiful screenshots with us - not only Cullen, I really like the pics you take of your characters as well. And I think it doesn't matter what it is (even vanilla screenshots) - it is not ok if someone takes something from someone else and pretends it is their own.

 

And here is a thank you to all of you for posting your screenshots/pics/fanfics

 

Concerning the nsfw pics/fanfics - how about making a private group on the forum? Does this still exist? I mean that only invited people can see and write posts. Or ist is forbidden in private groups as well? Maybe it is a bad idea I just thought it would be a solution to still be able to see/post those links.

 

Different topic but have you seen the mod that removes the dirt effect on your clothing? It is on nexus mod and it works like a charm. I hate having beautiful black pants and due to the dirt effect being applied nearly everywhere (even in skyhold) I spend most of the game running around with beige instead of black pants....

 

And to stay on topic: Leliana could have been in the circle tower with the HoF and therefore meeting Cullen before Kirkwall. Do you think he would remember or if she would tell him that they met before?

 

 

Sorry for the bad grammar...

[Eliantariel]

Right exactly.

 

The whole less sleep has me thinking because in The Arbor Wilds it mentioned that Cullen has only slept for no more then an hour three days running.

 

I am not sure if this is because of what is going on-the war, with-drawl or perhaps its a habit formed from the years being a Templar that they do not sleep as much. It could of course be all thee above.

 

Great. Now the wheels are spinning in my head.

 

I didn't know that thank you for the information!

 

If Cullen takes Lyrium again doesn't he say that he felt tired the whole time where he wasn't taking it? Maybe it helps him stay awake and he is used to sleep less than normal (non lyrium using) people? And when he stops taking it he maybe still tries to stay awake for that long because he is used to it. Or maybe it was only the adrenalin due to the battle.

I had always assumed he meant he was tired when not taking it because the nightmares kept him awake. He says "without lyrium, they're worse." Maybe he gets more restful sleep with it?

I was thinking you should consider a collaboration with a writer too, someone interested in exploring the chantry/Templar possibilities.

If this were any of the other games in the franchise, I'd totally be up to writing a fanfic based on that premise; I love, love, love me some holy warriors going back to the early days of Dungeons and Dragons, and I've had beloved Templar characters in each of the last installments of Dragon Age. But the streak has been broken, sadly.

What is different about this game for you? I'm the exact opposite with the series. I've never played a Templar, but I fell in love with the "angsty, self-sacrificing, tormented warrior" in this game. So much that now I plan on rolling Templars for both of the past games. But I don't see them having as much feels.

I'm just not sure how to go about it short of broadcasting on Tumblr, and most of my follows I don't know from boo. 

[Tarlonniel]

And I fell out of love with them for exactly that reason   I just don't do "angsty" or "tormented". And the lyrium thing too - it all added up to a big ball of NOPE for me.

Oh, HA! I love love love the concept of tormented warrior, and that Rhiannon and Cullen found their equal match within each other. They challenge each other and keep each other grounded, while also being each other's only source of support and relief. He's the only person she can let her guard down around, and he feels the same way about her. I've been wanting to commission a fanart showing something to the effect of them standing together alone against the tide that is the Inquisition.

 

The Templar Order, and the sacrifice that they make just really struck me. I never really gave two poops about it in the past games, but the way they are written in this one was just WOW. I plan on making a fan vid about the Templars and I have the perfect song already picked out.

[Tishina]

Maybe try networking? You know writers on here, maybe they can suggest people to start a discussion with? I'm more or less outside fanfic networks, so all I can do is suggest possibilities, lol.
