me: I should see if I can find an updo for Fi that she could plausibly do with her wolfcut to make it not clip with masks

also me: *giggling, kicking feet, making her hair go swish swush*

Fi with longer, not shorter hair and certainly not in an updo.

A middle-aged woman with curling, slightly faded brown hair cut into a short bob. The short profile of a button nose and flat cheeks is just like her mother's, in contrast to her sister's sharp birdlike features. Blue tattooed wings run down each arm, one for each of her missing siblings.

Eyry Adaar, Inquisitor by decree of Divine Victoria 9:49 Dragon.

#Veilguard #DragonAge #DAvp #CCadventures #VirtualPhotography #oc:EyryAdaar #Eyry
Closeup from character creation, a kossith femme in her 40's. Damaged or broken horns, formerly curving down and to the front, have been cut off about 5 inches in and capped with short, gold-braced amethyst extensions that are much more convenient in times of peace. Formerly much more impressive mane of white hair has also been cut down to a short, light sidecut that falls partially over her right eye, concealing the partial loss of sight and the healed but still cruel-looking gouges of scars. The strong kossith features are unmistakable, from the massive brow supporting the horns to the tall, almost vertically flat nose and pointed, outwardly turned ears. She wears the light touch of blue to lighten her heavily darkened eyes, but the rest of her face is covered by a vitaar facepaint design of command, with intricate patterns in black on her nose and forehead and wider, more smeared lines of yellow creating a V at the forehead and another from eyes to chin, with more yellow completing the design. A wider shot of Eyry. A quarter profile from knees up shows her powerfully built, heavily muscled frame towering nearly eight feet tall – far from the tallest of kossith but markedly so for a Vashoth. A stark departure from her usual opulent combination of Antivan florals and Rivaini gold, she wears a light greenish-gray military-style suit.

Veilguard character creator final confirmation screen. On the right, a remake of Bethany Hawke, with an attempt to appropriately age her up from her stylized DA2 representation. This version has her wavy hair shortened to a more practical bob and with much-softened body proportions. Clad here in an outfit reminiscent of her comfort colors,a white button-up shirt and light blue trousers, with a very tall red waist guard with gold trimming. Text on left identifies a nickname "Rook", real name Bethany de Riva (she got married in 9:44!), identifies as woman with she/her pronouns, and is of course a mage with an Antivan Crows-associated backstory.

I actually spent some time trying to figure out how to recreate Eyry in the #VeilguardCC, and while it's not fantastic, I think this is at least recognizable as her, eight years later (some of them were even good.)

Eyry Adaar, the Inquisitor, remade in Veilguard. Screenshot of the character creator with Eyry pictured. Though I can't make her as tall as she should be (yet), she is already towering and powerfully built, belying that she is in fact only an enormously powerful mage.

I keep saying this and then fiddling but I think Bethmommy is just about where I hoped and I should stop. I aged her from the 20 here to the 41 of Veilguard, using mama Leandra (47 here) for some cues.

'Sunshine' was Varric's best work.

#DATV #DA2 #DATCotL #DragonAge #CCadventures #BethanyDeRiva
Bethany in Veilguard CC. Same amber brown eyes and slightly square face with prominent cheeks and a button nose giving her a shallow side profile. Her gently curling hair is in a short bob, and has faded slightly from the near-black all three children got from their father. A younger Bethany with her long wavy locks. Dragon Age 2 capture. The mother, Leandra, whom the twins Bethany and Carver resembled very closely and conversely Leandra looked much like Bethany when she was young. The aged-up Bethany has distinct features from her mother as depicted here, especially the overall slimming of roundness but the jawline filling out a little, the hint of nasolabial folds, and the eyes appearing to sink a touch. Dragon Age 2 capture.

My DA:O screenshots are like 1024x768 so I nabbed the sliders and remade her in glorious 4k. Mods had her a bit closer to her Veilguard-era self, but I could not be bothered to go to those lengths so all you get is hair that makes comparison easier XD

#DragonAge #DAO #DATV #CCadventures #Anaïs
Anaïs in 9:52 at the age of 45, Veilguard CC. Anaïs in 9:30 at the age of 23, Dragon Age: Origins CC. Here with white hair in a bun for the comparison with Veilguard, but at the time she had shoulder-length black hair usually worn down.

Most living beings can't handle being stranded in the Fade for more than a few days before succumbing to demons, insanity, or other perils.

Then there's Hawke, who just keeps getting hotter and gayer.

#DragonAgeInquisition #InquisitionSpoilers #DragonAge2 #CCadventures
Quarter profile headshot of Hawke ostensibly around 9:41 with neatly coiffed short bob with a right part, her jet-black hair slightly faded over the years. Almost exact the same headshot, except with her hair in a longer bob that looks like she's been cutting the grayed locks herself, which might be the case if you happened to find her in 9:52 or so.

There's my baby.

She looks so strange without the Vitaar. I still need to tweak the nose back to a bit flatter in DATV but that's much easier.

🔖 #DragonAge #DAI #CCadventures #Eyry #✳️
Eyry in DAI inventory with its dark background and stark lighting. She does not look very happy, but her heavy kossith features are all there, and at this time she still has a veritable mane of white hair cascading down one side of her head, and her many times broken horns first flow with the head, then curve down and back forward until coming up to points far above her forehead. Painstaking process has curved them so that they protect her head from the back and sides, the points will gore anything she rams into, and the curve will allow the horn to break if the forces are too great. Alternative view without Vitaar. A quarter profile view without Vitaar shows more of the slight flatness from forehead down that's characteristic of her lineage among the kossith.

For possibly yet another playthrough of DAI, I tweaked Eyry to better match the limitations of the Veilguard CC in recreating DAI looks.

I’m sure she’ll grow on me, the changes are v. subtle and she’s a bit uncanny valley from her earlier self.

🔖 #DAI #DATV #DragonAge #YADAPT #CcAdventures #Eyry
Eyry, a fem kossith, in the dungeon in Haven. She has massive horns that curve back toward the front and then up, and they’re almost entirely made of an amethyst-like gem with just four-five inches of natural horn remaining at the base. Her hair is long and lustrously white, cut to fall to one side of her head. She wears a mage’s battle coat, heavily armored. A close-up with a worried or frightened expression. I like the way her features are in animation, but may tweak a little further if problems arise. Eyry in Veilguard is a decade older, a little sharper and even more muscular, her graying hair cut shorter — much as her horns, with only short decorative amethyst extensions capping her real horns off. That might imply peacetime, but she has also opted to wear full armor.

I did get this one exactly right, didn't I?

#Veilguard #CCadventures #DAI
A human woman in quarter-back view, mostly giving just a hint of a profile that should be fairly directly recognizable as Cassandra Pentaghast. Her hair is grayed and cropped even shorter than last we saw her eight years ago, and she has a new scar on her temple, but otherwise still seems to be as fit as ever.

Subtle visual hints.

#Veilguard #CCadventures #DA2
Against a purple background, a no-longer-young woman with dark brown wavy hair in a short bob. Her head is turned to the side, showing a less pronounced profile with a smaller nose and shallow-set eyes. She wears a red scarf around her neck, and on her back there's a red mage staff with a decorative golden end shaped into a circle with pointed rays.

Imagine actually spending time on a proper edit instead of this

#Veilguard #CCadventures #HawkeFamilyReunion #MommyHawke #WineAuntHawke
A poorly edited composite of Bethany and Hawke standing next to each other on the Lighthouse courtyard. While Hawke is the big sister, she is actually short and wiry, though that's concealed by her long leather coat here, and the 'little sister', Bethany, is tall and full-figured — which she likes to let show a bit in contrast to Hawke's far more utilitarian choices in clothing.
