More on that DA Regency AU:
"Remember that scene in Pride and Prejudice? Cause I do."

I could get behind regency!Hawke/Fenris if it had more Carver. It seems like a lot of people are using Gaider's tweet of having Hawke and Bethany. I just have a need for Carver in Regency clothing being a dork while trying to court Merrill.
Yeahh, after months of drepression and months of hearing my parents's words ("your art is not really art") again and again in my head, I'm finally drawing again! And then I happily show this WIP to my friend and she spends an entire hour telling me how it's crap, that nothing's really right, etc etc. I feel the little bit of motivation that I had gathered.... fleeing away right now. Someone hug me ;_;
Wow..Ena...that IS art!!! It's lovely!! Don't listen to those people, they don't know art. *hugs* Seriously, I love it!

Nothing at all wrong with that art. Even if something WAS wrong with it, how is anyone to get better without practicing? You think all the writers and artists working at BioWare got to where they were without a lot of practice and plenty of crap left behind? Pfft.
Anyone that wants to tell you what you are doing wrong is welcome to give you suggestions and solutions. Otherwise they are just tearing you down to build themselves up, and that says way more about them than it does you. Do your art and be happy. They can have their misery and keep it to themselves.
yeah i'm still not entirely sure if it was good natured ribbing or like... genuine antipathy
yeah but like half of them are prompts
Wait, didn't you write a hobo prompt yourself?
I'd say Hobo!solas is an exaggeration of his unwashed hoboness according to Vivienne and Dorian's conversation. To us players, he appears fairly clean but then again Thedas is in a Medieval Stasis. Despite Sera's everyman, heavily torn clothing or Cole's borrowed clothes, their appearance were never questioned. So placing him in a modern AU setting can give you an idea of what he may look like.
tldr; It's ok, I don't like Stay-In-Skyhold Father!Solas neither. Seems out of character.

Don't listen to these shenanigans, you do you, and you draw whatever pleases you in whatever ways it pleases you.
Drawing should be fun most and foremost, don't let anyone put you down gratuitously. Criticism can be nice, only if done in the right way. If criticism leads to someone feeling so shitty they can't draw again, then it wasn't criticism, it was just being a huge asshole.
Keep going, it looks promising!

I think that getting back into drawing (or writing, for that matter) after a period of inactivity is one of the hardest and bravest things you can do. So just the fact that you want to: that is something you can trust, and certainly something you can trust over the opinions of your friends and family. I like to think that perplexing your parents is part of being an artist, and ideally you just find a way to take a little bit of joy from it (easier said than done, sometimes).
Anyway, this forum lurker likes your drawing. Solidarity, here.
Also, HoboSolas is real, and it means that everything could be real.

How Hobo!Solas enters the classroom. (You Hobo!Solas purists will get the reference).

I honestly don't understand this sort of thing. Genuine criticism that actually takes the time to try and be helpful is something different than that. It's hard to go through depression and not feel creative but I hope you continue drawing and doing what you love as you work on this, for yourself if no one else. You're the one living your life and things can get a lot better. Let me say I've been living on and off with anxiety almost my whole life and sometimes periods of depression and you have to be there for yourself even if/when others aren't. Do continue drawing. I looked at your art and went 'awww'. It really is sweet. 
Sometimes people just want to be jerks to one another (I just looked at the "Spiders? thread and someone with a phobia (I have a spider phobia too) was asking for help and most people were kind and then a few people started posting spider gifs and a huge picture of the Nightmare....real helpful, folks. 
) and I don't understand that, personally.
I'm really loving all of the Regency AU artwork.

Ugh I clicked on a link in my history and it turned out to be the prompt generator.
Dear prompt generator: it's really weird to get prompts that sound suggestive for Tranquils, Cole, or children (Kieran). Or two simultaneously.
Definitely on the
SpoilerTrash Train and the Felassan one as well. Obviously have a thing for old elves, I can't even deny.
*joins these trains as well*
Also, am I the only one that found that elf lieutenant from the DLC hot as well? 
And I haven't even played the DLC yet.
The twins aren't actual twins. They are just called twin souls.
*still holds out hope that Falon'Din and Dirthamen are actual twins on top pf being Twin Souls.* 
So I've pushed myself over the trash line and wrote a kind of mildly smutty little Solavellan thing. This is my first time writing something like this, so I'm sure it's not my best thing ever but it starts off with some painful-ish hope and an unexpected question.

So, @PatrickWeekes, how *would* a fic writer best describe Solas grabbing Lavellan's butt? Asking for a friend.
omg did you really??? XD aahhhh, then what solas with balls and sparkles pic do you desire?????

No, I didn't actually tweet it. I just wrote it out. I kind of try to keep my account kind of...professional.
I could not, unfortunately, come up with a good way to describe butt grabbing.
Professor Solas looks like James Bond, kind of. Or a James Bond villain. He needs elbow patches. But A plus weird AU art as always Phosphene.
Also, really not Solas related (HIS NAME IS MENTIONED), but the Abelas thread is kind of dying, so I thought I'd link my work here, because this damn thing is taking up /hours/ of my life. So I guess if you dig Abelas or Abelas and Lavellan goodness, it's cool.

Some more art
hehehe..cute little comic "where Solas didn't break up with Lavellan, he didn't bugger off, and everything is f* fine okay?"
