Hey, I know you're discussing and I don't like to interrupt, but yesterday I tried to color my picture. I found it astonishingly difficult. It's like 20% what I wanted, 50% what I was actually able to do, and the rest an equal mix of "Gotta do." and "What happens if I do that...? Ugh. Ah, uh, not so bad maybe." I settled for this non-background background because... yeah, because I didn't know how to go on. So I wouldn't call it a deliberate design choice as such. 
I'm not sure I ever want to do this again... but I did have fun. So in case I do decide to do it again, any helpful hints? (Helpful means nothing like "Draw better." because really, I can't ).

Oh, and I am aware their clothes aren't actually so torn and Solas never even has a scratch, but I liked the idea of them having to stitch their gear up after a fight and looking broken and weakened.
Honest feedback appreciated.

Siha!  This is lovely!

 

 

I don't mind the harhen part so much.  It's the da'len part that bothers me.  And the 'his da'len' part in particular.  Nope.  Nope nope nope nope.  While I get the senpai=harhen thing, da'len means child and I really don't like it being used in a romantic context.  It's not cute.  It's just creepy.  I'd much prefer him to use lethallan.  It's informal and shows he thinks about her in friendly terms without infantilising her.  She's the same age as me!  If the person I saw as a potential lover constantly referred to me a child I would nope out of there so fast.  And if I found out they thought of me as their child in a romantic context then I would need to take several showers then burn my phone.

 

EDIT: Then gather the ashes and burn them.  Also you get a for Firefly.

 

Ah, when framed that way, yes. it is a bit creepy. I think it's meant to be a more light-hearted 'da'len' though. Like "Hey, kiddo!" Not like "Gather 'round, children!"

 

(Firefly 4eva haha. I have a ridiculous awesome Jayne hat. Which I proudly wear in public.)

Off topic: I restarted Pillars of Eternity and now I'm trapped in character creator hell again.

 

Regency Top:

 

Although I regret looking in the Solas tag to find that.  It has... strange stuff today.

 

 

Are we talking about the "dirty BioWare confessions?" Because... yeah...

Firefly was so, so amazing.

 

I wonder what the Serenity crew would make of Solas?  And I need to see River and Cole interact so badly.

 

I do get your point about the use of da'len but the only time we've seen it used in canon is in a parent figure/child relationship.

That's the one.  Not what I was expecting when I went looking for fluffy artwork.

 

Still, not as bad as all the Inky/Cole or Cole/Dorian art I found when hunting for Cole artworks.

[Bayonet Hipshot]

I saw someone talk about Dirty Bioware Confessions. Out of curiosity, I decided to look. 

 

I thought I was perverted but that site...takes it to a whole new level...

 

What have you people done ?!  

[freelovefreeway]

I'd much prefer him to use lethallan.  It's informal and shows he thinks about her in friendly terms without infantilising her. 

 

I'd forgotten about lethallan. Yes, that would be greatly preferable.

So a puzzle for you computer tech-savvy folk. My computer now claims I have 1.02 GB unused on a 690GB computer. Yet when I ran a JDiskReport to let me know where all the gigabytes were actually stored, it blandly reported that everything combined was about 420 gigabytes.

Or, at least it did.   Just now it claims I have 30 gigs available! Which is, y'know, still wrong, but it's much better! 

...

...wait. That's more than enough space for Rome II. Which I uninstalled because I thought my computer was about to explode from being overstuffed.

...it's going to take me months to re-download it and all of the bloody mods I used. 

 

Okay, I am not sure where this started, so maybe I missed some posts, but something is severely wrong with your computer, really.

Spoilered because vastly off-topic:

Spoiler

What Gwyvian said is one aspect. When you install something, and deinstall it again, this will not delete all files. Some data are kept, like registry entries and more control data. But this will not account for the weirdness you spoke of in the post prior to the one I quoted. Also, as she said, you get temp files but that shouldn't be so many if we are talking installed software here.

A real uninstaller will help here, best if followed by a defragmentation. When you store data, you store them where enough space is found. So if you store a file and delete it, you can only store new files there if they are <= the deleted file. Otherwise they don't fit in the gap. Defragmentation will remove such gaps and get you more usable free space (100MB space aren't worth much if they are scattered over the HDD in form of 100KB small gaps).

 

More issues are swapping. That is, when you run multiple programs at once, program state is kept in memory. But when your memory is full, or when you switch to another program, this state is temporarily stored on the HDD and read back in when you need it again. The more multitasking, the more swapping. You don't keep data for more than one program in memory at one time. So this is a reason for why you need free space on your HDD. 

 

Anyway, what you described is strange and I can't come up with an explanation. If you really want one, I fear you will need to explain in detail what you did (how you deleted etc.) and it would be tedious.

 

Anyway, my advice: get a bigger HDD. 700GB really isn't enough for a gamer. If you have a desktop machine, just plug in more HDDs. If you can, even get an SSD for Windows and store programs and other files on regular HDDs.

Oh, and get more RAM. More memory is always good. Will also need less swapping, so your programs run faster because it doesn't constantly need to write to/read from disk. Disk operations are terribly expensive.

 

I really like the background, Siha. The mixture of cracked rocks and flowers. Very nice! I also really like the pale colors you used. Like water colors. I don't see that very often.  I think you did a great job, your art stands out. It's different in a good way.

 

Siha!  This is lovely!

 

Really? I am not really so content with it... In my mind it looked all different. I just couldn't actually do it. But thank you, you are so kind!

I was actually thinking of using that one for my top picture until I saw the regency one (I'm pretty sure the regency one has been used here before but it's never a bad thing to feature more of Gaider's regency AU.)

 

On the topic of Regency AU... anyone know of f!Hawke/Fenris Regency AU pictures?  There's a lot of m!Hawke/Fenris but Marian needs time to wear pretty dresses and smooch the glowing elf, too!

How would I ever mind you correcting me? 

And this is just what I had set out to do and just couldn't. Damn, how do you do that. It's not fair that talent was distributed so unevenly among people. *sigh*

Also, I assume you are telling me between the lines that the other version of the picture was better and should have been colored instead.

 

Sorry Siha, but yours sucks compared to Keith's©siha

 

I know...  But know what's really important? Siha made Keith draw again.

Mission accomplished.

Yeah, I'm in "hiding from tumblr" mode.  So basically I rely on you and CapricornSun and NightSymphony to find art so I don't have to brave deep space fandom

This reminds me of the part where if you make Cole more human, he says, "But how can I put honey Leliana's tea if she remembers me?"

 

God, Cole, you're so cue.

Mmm....on the mention of Cole.....anyone else's Lavellan like serious besties with Cole?

 

Adding spoiler just in case I throw anything in that...you know, spoils.

 

Spoiler

Because part of me being so upset about the whole Solavellan story is how distraught Cole must be over it. Cole was my Lavellan's best friend. She took him everywhere...including the Orlesian Ball( which, side note, made me super sad to see Cole there and how he takes it all. Don't know if I could do it again.) and afterwards I just don't see how Cole would be able to really help her. I mean clearly he would try...but Solas blocks him and I know my character would not want to forget and all that....

 

So over a long enough period of time....what would that do to Cole? I guess it would depend on if he is more human or spirit right? I know I have Spirit Cole and it just makes me wonder.....sad thoughts.

 

Anyone else?

Dorian is always bestest bestie.  But Cole and my Lavellan were very close too.

 

Honestly, I think spirit!Cole would handle the whole situation relatively well.  He can feel Lavellan's pain, but he can feel everyone's pain, down to the random Orlesians at that restaurant.  And he can make himself forget in order to shed baggage and continue helping people.  Maybe he can't bring Solas back, but he can help in little ways.  Staying with Lavellan when she can't sleep at night.  Gently nudging the staff to cook her favorite meals.  Leaving cookies in her pocket.  All those wonderful little Cole-ish things that take the edge off the angst.

Ahh, yeah. That makes me feel better. Actually now that you point that stuff out I guess Spirit Cole would handle it better than Human Cole.

 

I knew this forum was what I needed. Has folks here that can point to a happy light while I still recover from the initial shock that is Solavellan.

 

=)

 

Edit: OMG though.....if Cole can make himself forget....and Solas can make him forget also......does this mean that Solas would potentially have to deal with repeated attempts of Cole reaching out and finding him.....and every time Solas would know why Cole has shown up. Thus constantly reminding Solas "Hey! Lavellan still heartbroken!"

 

*sigh* The real tragedy once again falls on Solas....

I tend to see more m!Hawke/Fenris artwork on my dash (not just regency AU).  I'm always on the look out for more f!Hawke/Fenris art since I'm not a fan of m!Hawke.  f!Hawke needs more love in general.

^This! I keep seeing m!Hawke (as well as m!Hawke/Fenris and m!Hawke/Anders) on my dash as well.

I agree. Though I seem to see both, I saw more f!Hawke Regency art. I think.

 

I seem to see more m!Hawke/Fenris as well as Anders/m!Hawke in general though.

I've also found I see more f!Hawke/Bela art.  And very little of eitherHawke/Merrill.  And not enough Warden!Carver/Merrill

I love m!Hawke.  Especially purple m!Hawke; Nicholas Boulton must have had so much fun recording some of those lines.  They just burst with trollish glee.  But I do agree that f!Hawke needs more love.

 

 

*sigh* The real tragedy once again falls on Solas....

 

*grabs Nutella jar*

 

Pretty much.  On one hand, he IS the God of Bad Decisions and a fair amount of the angst is of his own making.  On the other hand, I can't help but feel bad for him regardless.  My Lavellan is fine after JoH, but I'm willing to bet that Solas still isn't, wherever he is.

 

Welp.  That's what the blanket fort is for.

Same. Basically when it comes to DA2 pairings that pop up in my Tumblr dash, it's usually m!Hawke/Fenris, m!Hawke/Anders, and f!Hawke/isabela. 

 

And yes, I would love to see more Carver/Merrill (I ship it so hard!). I think DeviantArt is a better place to find Carver/Merrill art though, since that's where I've seen a majority of them.
