Action shot of Callin casting chain lightning, though he is barely visible in the shot for all the crackling blue energy around him.

Another shot of Callin from behind, dagger in his left hand as he casts.

Also, goddamn but chain lightning is cool, especially when you crank saturation all the way up.

#callinderiva

Callin de Riva standing at one end of the pantry in the Lighthouse's kitchen, illuminated by soft candlelight. He's smiling to himself.

Callin is out of focus in the foreground with the focus on Lucanis, seated on his makeshift cot at the far end of the pantry with a coffee mug in his hand, also smiling to himself.

Callin pretending to take stock of the pantry as an excuse to be around Lucanis some more. Look at the both of them trying not to smile and failing. #lucallin | #callinderiva | #lucanisdellamorte

Callin de Riva, in the Time-Tested Trappings, getting his first look at the Crossroads in full. His mouth is open as he looks, wide-eyed, at the scenery before him.

A shot of the entrance to the tower in the Ossuary where the blood was stored. It has been desaturated with the contrast raised. A gaping opening like a mouth in the center, with a dark red Venatori banner hanging from the center, with tall elven statues flanking either side and a circular mosaic above.

A screenshot showing Lucanis's figure in the center of the shot, a high arching walkway above and the tower entrance on the left. It has also been desaturated with the contrast bumped up. Lucanis is looking off into the murky distance.

I went into VG for a bit to get a couple of reference shots of Lucanis at the right angle, but I couldn't let it go there... #dragonagetheveilguard #callinderiva #lucanisdellamorte

Callin de Riva, whose hair is looking somewhat less pretty with the medium graphics setting on. The harsher texture makes a weird contrast with his face.

Playing on PC, I have to lower the graphics settings when Rook goes to talk to Solas in the Fade because it crashes the game every time. Even with the crunchy hair though, he's so goshdarn pretty. #callinderiva

Callin de Riva looking soft and a little melancholy against a dark background lit with candles.

Callin in tilt-shift focus, solemn at the sight of those who died in the attack to take back Minrathous.

it's been a while since his pretty face was here so... have some Callin! #callinderiva

Callin de Riva, his normally lavender hair looking mousy brown in the lighting at the Hall of Valor, eyes slightly narrowed, wearing The Invitation.

Man, it is wild how Callin's hair just looks *brown* in the Hall of Valor lighting. Just straight up brown. (Also, he's in the purple-eyes club too!) #callinderiva

Screenshot of Callin de Riva, a male elf with very crunchy hair that reflects light oddly due to the graphics being set on medium.

Man, I cannot believe I played the whole game through twice with the graphics at this setting. (This was when I first got it, lol) #callinderiva

Kept thinking about this and how I felt like I should have provided proof. (Jun will get his own photoshoot, hehe.) #callinderiva

A tall male elf with light brown skin, long, straight lavender hair, dark violet eyes, and faded blue vallaslin and feather arm tattoos, wearing a black mesh corset, a long paneled dark red skirt showing his hips and legs, grey thigh-high stockings, and high heels. He has one hand on a hip and a devious smile.

Finally got this one done despite cat interference! With grateful acknowledgement to @solass.bsky.social for the picture that inspired this. Callin loves trying new looks...

An elf with long lavender hair going wild around his face as if he was blasted with wind from behind. Screenshot taken in Dock Town by that one warehouse.

Tried to get a screenshot of Callin looking cool and walking and it looks like HECKIN WIMDY instead. #callinderiva

digital art in progress of a male elf with light skin, long lavender hair, dark violet eyes, and vallaslin of Dirthamen in dark blue on his face. everything shown is mostly completely shaded, the image is cropped to his face but he seems to be shirtless.

Progress! (need to get the proper ref for his tattoos/vallaslin) WIP #edibleart | #callinderiva

Thread for the various Callin art I've been lucky enough to receive, whether it be gifts/trades/commissions, etc. Because he's worth it. (Hoping there aren't any I've forgotten...)

#callinderiva

Look at my boy ahhhhhhhhh! Thank you Rina, this is lovely!! #callinderiva

Look at my adorable boy as an even more adorable sprite! Y'all need to commission Linny NOW. #callinderiva

Callin de Riva, a male elf with long, straight hair and Dirthamen's vallaslin, looking away from Solas (out of focus in the background) while trying to hold himself in place with the lyrium dagger. The scene is heavily washed out in faded greens.

Callin looking mournful as he realizes the truth he's been blinded to for the whole game. The image is heavily desaturated.

Had to play through the latter half of Tearstone anyway, so have some pretty. #callinderiva

I drew Callin attempting to give kitty Jade kisses (and being thoroughly rebuffed lol)! This was super fun and I'm hoping they get to have some non-kitty kisses too ;) Thank you Fox for making the template, the kitty version of Jade is adorable!

#edibleart | #callinderiva

This one is pretty moody and blue, I think... #callinderiva

A close shot of Callin de Riva in sunlight and shade in Arlathan Forest. One of his eyes looks darker than the other because of the shadow.

A close face shot of Callin at the Lighthouse.

A close shot of Callin's eyes.

Callin's eyes, looking upward. The image is cropped so his mouth is not visible... >.>

I get lost in his eyes... #callinderiva

Share a smile

I really just adore his smile, it's so sweet. #callinderiva

Callin de Riva in black and white, in a 3/4 profile, looking somber.

Did a bit of an edit on a screenshot of Callin. #callinderiva

Callin de Riva, a male elf with long, straight hair, depicted in black and white in a screenshot at the Lighthouse. He's looking slightly up in a heroic angle.

I've been busily playing Bryony to get her to the point of no return and she's there now, but in the process I am missing him so much... Callin de Riva, my darling, my love, I will come back to you, I swear it

#callinderiva

Callin and Lucanis in the romance scene. Both are shirtless. Lucanis lays across Callin's lap on the green couch, eyes on Callin's chest. Caption: "Lucanis: With you here, like this? I'd rather stay awake."

Another angle, with Callin gazing fondly down on Lucanis in the foreground. Caption: "Rook: "Stay awake all night? However shall we pass the time?"

aagh help I'm having all the feels about them

#rookanis | #lucallin | #callinderiva | #lucanisdellamorte

Screenshot of Callin de Riva standing in the courtyard of the Lighthouse. He's pictured from the waist up, wearing the casual Crow outfit. He is a male elf with light brown skin, long, straight, lavender hair, and dark violet eyes.

I miss him, like, a lot

#callinderiva

Digital art of Callin de Riva and Lucanis Dellamorte. They are about to kiss, Callin cradling Lucanis's face in his hands and Lucanis holding Callin's waist. Callin is a male elf who's just slightly taller than Lucanis, with long, straight lavender hair and faded blue tattoos of wings on his arms. Both are naked, but not engaging in any sexual activity and depicted from the hips up. The background is a window, glowing golden-orange, that tapers to a point. The golden light gives everything a slight glow.

I did this in September but was unsatisfied with the coloring, so I've been using it as practice and finished the rendering today. Much happier with it this time. Ending the year as I began it, loving them. (repost)

Callin de Riva, a male elf with long, straight lavender hair, light brown skin, faded vallaslin of Dirthamen and wing tattoos on his arms, and dark violet eyes. He's wearing the Captain's Call mod outfit, standing outside the kitchen building at the Lighthouse in bright "sunlight".

Folks, I really want to talk about Callin.

Please give me some questions to answer!

#callinderiva

Screenshot of Callin de Riva from the rear. Showing his rear.

if we're talking about bottom of the year there's only one candidate in my book #callinderiva

Callin de Riva caught in the bright blue-green light pouring into the lower level ofthe Minrathous catacombs.

Lucanis, seated on his bench in the pantry, looking up with a little smirk.

Played a little bit on Callin too bc I needed to see his face again. And Lucanis's, of course.

#callinderiva | #lucanisdellamorte

Callin de Riva kneeling to pet a large orange cat, while Lucanis stands behind him, one foot on a bench, waiting patiently for his boyfriend.

Fun fact: Callin has a compulsion to feed every stray he sees and has several cats who've become regulars at his apartment in Treviso. He feeds them whenever he's back there because he feels guilty for "abandoning" them.

#callinderiva

A 3/4 profile of Callin looking to the camera left. He wears a white shirt styled similar to Davrin's (I can't remember the mod outfit name, sorry), and the saturation is boosted so the candle flame really glows on his face.

A shot from the back, showing the intense bright shine of the aquarium wall light on Callin's hair.

A peek at the tattoo on Callin's chest. Some of his hair is clipping through the shirt.

Callin in the Santa outfit, his chest bared. He's looking off to the distance with a hint of a smile.

Of course, I had to do a photoshoot for him... I'll never not be stunned by how his hair reflects light in different ways. And since I got the suit, he gets to show it off. More happily than the dress. #callinderiva

Obviously, Callin de Riva wins my Blorbo of the Year award! I fell in love with him in 2024 and he stayed in rotation in my head all year.

In second is Jun Ingellvar, whom I explored more and had fun with. He also inspired one of my favorite fics and drawings.
