BLACK SAILS • I.

A whore for every finger on your hand, but your eyes kept drifting to this. Tell me, what is it that is so precious to you? insp.

"...but sorry, lords and ladies! according to our source in skyhold, this bull still only has a single rider, the inquisitor himself!" transquisitor tenoren adaar, as inspired by bacchus (caravaggio, c.1589) 🌷

oh wait. fun design element, time to read into it too much

so: like the other companions, bull has a few specially-modeled armor designs in addition to his default. here they are.

notice that he's never seen without his giant belt. it's thicker than the ones other characters have, which are mostly just for holding up their pants, and it doesn't sit near his hips. he's wearing it so it wraps around his core muscles, supporting the area between his rib-cage and his pelvis. the way he wears it makes it resemble a back brace, or maybe a lifting belt.

bull is hauling incredibly heavy weapons the size of his entire body around all the time, and for as much as he plays like he doesn't care about his safety, he’s both forward-thinking and already disabled - he wears a leg brace, is missing an eye and some of his digits, probably more he never mentions. the belt he's always wearing is so he doesn't fuck up his back.

Here's a recent wip. Must put some dedication into a fanpiece of this great movie, so finishing it might take a while. As fast I made the sketch, as long I was trying to remember how to fucking color.

“the sea doesn’t care about you!!” ok well just because the ocean is unspeakably powerful and can’t stop the rhythm she’s held for uncountable eons just for one person doesn’t mean she can’t love you. loving and changing are two different things. we wouldn’t have life without the ocean…. and yeah, if you don’t respect her and treat her cavalierly, you’ll perish. but how can anyone say the sea doesn’t mourn when she holds so much life and beautiful secrets in her belly? why are we putting atheism on the ocean that loves us?

Have heard claims that they originally intended Inquisition to start with you at the Conclave and walking around and talking to the attendees before everything blew up but decided against it because “Oh it’s too slow-paced to start, we need something more dramatic and engaging” but the thing is like. That really could have done a lot to establish the Inquisitor as an actual character with a life-history and relationships as well as averting the whole “No one fucking went to the Conclave” thing
