challenge #4: it was a grey and stormy night fanart

[payroo]

I couldn't resist illustrating silksieve 's lovely noir AU from last challenge! Especially after I read this comment: To get in the mindset, I had written "cigarettes, whiskey, Bogart" at the bottom of the page. :) I was saying in chat yesterday that I all wanted now was Duncan in a trench and fedora and Alistair in rolled up shirtsleeves with tie loosed

Ooooh I love it! You get just the right vibe, fantastic job.

Thanks! I had to stare at a lot of Humphrey Bogart photos for this, haha.

Most excellent!! Love the way you've done the light and hints of color!

And Alistair in glasses? Didn't know how much I needed that until JUST NOW. *purr*

[payroo]

Thanks! Sepia is really fun to work with.
Haha, to be honest I'm rather shocked at how well the glasses are received!

Wow, you are totally on a roll. The Satinalia picture, the Zev exchange, and now this? You are spoiling us with visual awesomeness.

[payroo]

Aww, thanks for the kind words!
This is what happens when I'm hopelessly obsessed with Dragon Age...

Just when I thought this comm couldn't get any better, it does. I love the atmosphere, and how you translated the characters. Great job!

[payroo]

Thanks! You're too kind! :)

OH MY GOD. I hope you know how much I love you right now. This is AMAZING--even better than it looked in my head! And so gorgeous. The lighting is simply fantastic--I love that you worked in a window with a blind, and the slats of shadow it casts. Totally icing on perfect cake. I just...I can't even...omg. And Duncan in a trench and Alistair in glasses? Guh. Just guh.

Thank you for writing that awesome fic! It really made me itch to draw it!
