A digital illustration of two people holding hands (actually dancing but it's not clear in the painting). One hand is pale and blueish, with long dark claws. The other hand is more human-like and veiny, with some deep scars further down the arm. There's also a frame made of gnarly branches, with the image of a crow, a snake and the crescent moon engraved in the wood.

A little something something for yet another personal project (and because... hands!) πŸ’œ

Dragon Age: Inquisition tarot styled piece featuring Tarquin from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. He is atop a horse, charging forward with a sword in hand and a determined expression. The illustration mimics Knight of Swords tarot card.

Fully coloured digital illustration by ChΓͺn King for the charity project Dragon Age Annual calendar. The illustration is themed after the Marseille Tarot card of 'The Sun' and the Dragon Age Origins character Zevran Arainai. There are three tarot cards laid out on a table among other objects like scroll bearing cracked seals from the inquisition and the grey wardens, gold dagger hilts, various gold coins, a journal, a dead crow and a boot to show he is bitting with his feet up on the table.
The cards are loosely past - future - present and represent Zevran's journey.
The 'past' card shows 3 crow assassins with red blades at night, on top is Taliesin, middle is Zevran and below Rinna. They each have chains at their wrists, a crow mask and Zvran is the only one not bloodied. The background shows an antivan city and Thedas' two moons.
The 'present' right card show Zevran fighting the blight alongside the warden, with the horde at the bottom and the archdemon maw at the top ; the backgound shows denerim and kirkwall to retrace his in-game appearances ; there are red daggers pointing at him to show he is still chased by the crows.
The middle card the 'present' show him older and free, smiling with a bright gold sun above him. The red cloth, sunflowers and white horse are traditional symbols of 'The Sun' card. He is tossing a coin to symbolize his luck in life and a white winged dagger.
I have paid special attention to textures and patterns to emulate the popular Inquisition tarot card style.

Here's the first of the tarot pieces I made for the @dragonageannual.art project (specifically the zine): The Arishok as The Hierophant!

This went thru so many color/value revisions, but I had a lot of fun working towards that beautiful card art vibe.

Stylised illustration of Lace Harding (dwarven woman, red hair, pale skin, freckled) as The World tarot. In one hand she holds lyrium, in the other a sapling. Behind her is a titan, and she is framed by branches (at the top) that merge into red lyrium (below).

Dragon Age: Inquisition tarot styled piece featuring Gray Warden Duncan from Dragon Age: Origins. With his forehead pressed into his hand and a regretful expression, he is holding a cup that resembles a joining chalice but he is not looking at it. The chalice is tilted down in his grasp, the contents spilling out like a waterfall. Two more chalices are overturned in the background that seems to be melting away. Another two more crowd behind him, upright, and seem like they have gushing water out of them. A part of the landscape behind him is slowly being eaten away by the blight. The illustration mimics Five of Cups tarot card.

The image shows a mural dedicated to Elgar'nan from Dragon Age the Veilguard, divided in 5 panels. Top left: shows a dragon, Lusacan, being trapped by golden chains as it roars in anguish. Bottom left: it shows the Titans being conquered byt Elgar'nan's lightnings, they cry as their blood becomes the essence of magic. Top right: through the Helm of the Solar, Elgar'nan burns the mind of other elves, turning them into loyal thralls. Bottom right: Elgar'nan is holding Mythal as she dies, her core getting fragmented. It's impossible to tell if he's taking our or in the lyrium dagger. Central panel: it shows Elgar'nan's in all his glory, his eclipse symbol on the top, his hands are open in invitation. His left food is pressed of the head of Solas, Fen'harel, the dread world, a show of his victory. The wolf's shape reminds of Solas's orb. At the bottom of everything, multiple elves kneel in devotion.

painted tarot card of lady josephine montilyet, in a fancy dress version of her original inquisition outfit, hair down and tumbling past her shoulders. she is standing poised and smiling, one hand wearing a hawker's glove and lifted up so that a messenger raven can perch on it with a small message in its beak. the other is lowered to cup a bundle of grapes. she is stood surrounded by the grapes of her family's vineyard, the montilyet estate far in the distance behind her. a circle of flowery golden detail frames her head, similar to her in-game tarot card, and the sky is gold with golden clouds.

illustration of Sera from Dragon Age Inquisition as the tator card The Sun

the illustration is bright and playful but not overly saturated, a clockwise gradient going from warm orange and yellow tones shifting subtly into blues and greens in the background.
sera is a pale blonde elf woman with freckles, looking to the right, holding a flat white bow and arrow, getting ready to strike. behind her head is the white sun framing her face.

Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
