An illustration showing a small Tamryn doing his best to climb a tree, with his tongue sticking out, while his cousin Ezra watches carefully from higher up the tree.

Little Tamryn learning to climb trees from his big cousin Ezra <3

(Ezra belongs to r2wedoomed on tumbl)

An illustration of Davrin and Rook standing pressed together, face to face. There are trees behind and above them, with fresh green leaves and white flowers. They have their fingers laced together and are looking happy. Davrin is leaning in for a kiss, dipping Rook slightly back, who's laughing at him. They're both dressed in simple but elegant outfits for the occasion, and have a piece of cloth wrapped around their wrists to mark their bonding.

Happy Valentine’s Day 🤍

A big bonding ceremony is not really their style, so Davrin and Tamryn eventually mark their commitment to each other with a simple hand fasting in the company of some friends and family :)

An illustration of Rook standing in shallow water on a beach. He's hugging himself and looking very uncomfortable. A smaller panel shows Davrin swimming in deeper water, calling out for Rook to join him, but Rook politely declines him, clearly afraid to go swimming. On the side of the illustration, Assan is shown partially out of frame, splashing around in the water next to Rook.

I asked for a prompt on tumblr and someone said ‘beach’, so I drew Rook having a great time at the beach XD
#davrook #dragonage #tamrynthorne

A series of portraits, five at the top and five at the bottom. The top five show Tamryn at five different ages, 2, 8, 14, 20 and 26 years old. The bottom ones show Davrin at ages 2, 9, 16, 23 and 31. They both go through various hairstyles and get their vallaslin after a certain age, with the last two portraits of each depicting their current age and looks.

Tamryn and Davrin throughout the years ✨

The plot thickens 👀
#dragonage #laceharding #tamrynthorne

Rook is looking to the side over his shoulder at Davrin, a grin on his face as he says: "If we go to the Wetlands, I'm hoping the First Warden's safely over in Weisshaupt."

Davrin giving Rook a grin in return, saying : "Couldn't say. Still, you can't get in any more trouble with the Order than you already are."

Rook looking away, now with a sudden sad expression as he sighs, then says: "Yeah..."

Some screenshot redraws of this moment in my playthrough, where Davrin threw Rook under the bus then immediately regretted it when he saw Rook’s sad face lol

#davrook #tamrynthorne #dragonage

An illustration of Davrin and Rook kissing on a couch, sitting sideways with their legs tangled together. The atmosphere is cozy, with a string of mage lights behind them and candles with holly and warm drinks on a table in front of them.

How Davrin and Rook celebrate their first winter solstice after saving the world 😌

Happy holidays!
#davrook #dragonage #davrin #tamrynthorne

A comic page with six panels. The first panel shows Davrin, Tamryn and their two children visiting the memorial stone the Veilguard set up in memory of Harding in her room. A text box says ‘The Lighthouse. Five years since the fall of the Evanuris.’ The memorial stone has plants growing all over it and a hole in the middle where a bright orange flower grows. Davrin is holding two year old Nelowen in his arms, while Tamryn has his arm on eight year old Caleb’s shoulder. The second panel shows a close up of the memorial stone. Between the vines attached to it, there is text visible that reads ‘In Memory of Lace Harding. Scout, friend. Child of Titans.’ The third panel shows Tamryn kneeling in front of the stone and placing a flower at the bottom of it. His expression is sad and he has his arm around Caleb, who is sitting on his knees next to him with a purple flower in his hands. The fourth panel shows Caleb placing his flower at the foot of the stone as well. The fifth and sixth panels show him touching the stone softly with his hand and it starting to glow underneath his fingers.

Here it is! Page 1 of my Harding comic. It’s the first time I’m doing a project like this, so while I’m super excited, I can’t promise a set posting schedule for the pages. Hoping to post one at least once every 2-ish weeks tho!

#dragonage #laceharding #tamrynthorne

An illustration of Davrin hugging Caleb very tightly. Caleb is only barely visible, his head buried against Davrin's chest.

An illustration of Caleb. He's an eight year old human boy, with sandy blond hair and brown eyes. His hair goes a little past his ears and is slightly wavy. He has two thin scars on his right cheek and two moles, one under his left eye and one under his mouth. He's wearing a red tunic that's torn in places, because he's been on the streets for a while.

I’ve been working on a longer comic, in which Davrin and Tamryn’s son Caleb plays an important role, so thought I’d introduce the lad properly!

You can read a little more about him below ✨

#davrook #tamrynthorne #dragonage

An illustration of Rook holding his baby up in the air and kissing her cheek. Nel is laughing as she looks at him. Rook is wearing casual clothing, a simple tunic and belt and a scarf around his neck. Nel is wearing a little romper in a soft yellow, with buttons down the front.

I had a sudden urge to draw Tamryn kissing Nel’s chubby cheeks and enjoying her sweet baby giggles 🥹

#davrook #tamrynthorne #dragonage #nelowenthorne

A comic page with three panels. The first shows Rook and Davrin laying in Davrin’s bed in the Lighthouse together. Davrin is asleep on his side, while Rook is awake and looking over his shoulder at Davrin with a curious expression. The second panel shows Rook prodding Davrin’s shoulder, saying “Hey, Dav? I have a question.” Davrin is awake and looking over his shoulder at Rook with a confused expression. The third panel shows Davrin on his back and Rook leaning on his elbow, and they’re looking at each other while they talk. Rook asks “What other Wardens have you slept with?”. To which Davrin responds: “Really, Rook?” Rook then says: “I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours.” Davrin replies to this with a snort, then says: “Fine. There aaa this one guy. Not bad. But he made the weirdest face during—“ Rook then interrupts him, saying “Wait…”

A comic page with three panels. The first shows Davrin and Rook now both half sitting up in bed, both with shocked expressions. Rook asks “Noooooooo, you don’t mean Ely, do you??” While Davrin simply goes: “Oh my god—“ The second panel shows Rook and Davrin sitting upright. Davrin is pinching the bridge of his noise and groaning, while Rook has his head thrown back while laughing loudly. The third panels shows them looking at each other again. Rook says “You’re right though. He wasn’t bad.” Davrin replies to that with: “Eh, I’ve had better.” A dry expression on his face. Rook replies “Oh you sure have.” With a very smug expression.

A very important question to ask your partner in the middle of the night 🫡
#davrook #tamrynthorne #dragonage

An illustration of Rook and Bellara sitting on a couch together, each doing their own thing. Bellara has her back against the armrest, her legs pulled up and she softly smiling to herself as she’s looking at a notebook in her hands. Rook is leaning against the other armrest, his legs thrown over the back of the couch as he fiddles with a puzzle cilinder. They’re both wearing fluffy knitted socks made by Lucanis.

Parallel play besties <3

I have a HC that Rook found a puzzle cilinder in Solas’ music room. It takes him a good while to get it open and when he finally manages it, all he finds inside is a note that says ‘the journey is the greatest reward’…
#bellaralutare #tamrynthorne #dragonage

An illustration of Davrin and Rook. Rook is laughing loudly, smacking Davrin's arm with his hand. Davrin, meanwhile, is smirking at Rook while he is in the process of taking off his shirt.

I have no context for this, except that the visual just came to me so I decided to draw it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#davrook #tamrynthorne #dragonage

The digital version of my DavRook zine is now up on ko-fi! You can get it through the link below :)

It’s a PDF with 40+ pages of art, text and fic snippets, detailing my Rook and Davrin’s relationship. It also contains various artworks I’ve made specifically for this zine ✨
#davrook #tamrynthorne

An illustration of Davrin and Rook making out in a bed. Both are naked and Rook is laying on top of Davrin, hand clutching onto the bed sheets. Davrin has his hands tangled in Rook's hair as he's kissing him. There's a candle burning on the nightstand behind them, casting them both in a warm light.

It’s cute that the game tries to convince you that Davrin and Rook don’t sleep together until the end, but I know for a fact that Tamryn wouldn’t have been able to keep his hands off Davrin for that long XD
#davrook #davrin #tamrynthorne #dragonage

An illustration of Rook and Davrin, walking hand in hand. They have their backs toward the viewer, and are looking fondly at each other. Light is coming from in front of them and is casting a soft shadow behind them. Around the edge of the illustration is a simple yellow/golden decorated border.

The back illustration of my zine, which means IT’S OFFICIALLY FINISHED!

I can’t wait to see how all the art will look when I’m holding it my hands aahh. If you’re interested in a physical version, you can still fill in the interest form below ✨

#davrook #davrin #dragonage #tamrynthorne

A comic with four panels. The first panel shows Rook and Davrin sitting in Rook’s couch in his room. He has his leg stretched out, resting it on Davrin’s lap, who bandaging his knee for him. Davrin asks Rook what happened. In the next big panel there are three different scenes all depicting Rook having missed a jump and struggling to pull himself up on various rocks and cliffs while swearing. The third panel shows a close up of Rook, who says “I fought a bear…” with a terrible attempt at a poker face. The last panel shows Davrin looking at him with narrowed eyes and his eyebrow raised as he says “Uhu…”

Anyone else’s Rook a bit of a klutz too? 🤚🏼

(Which absolutely has nothing to do with the amazing jump mechanics in VG of course)
#davrook #davrin #tamrynthorne #dragonage

A comic page with five panels. The first panel shows Rook in his room, reading a letter while laying upside down on his couch. Someone calls him by a nickname just out of frame. The second panel shows Taash, upside down as seen from Rook’s pov. They ask “Can I ask you something?”. The third panel shows Rook sitting upright, a curious expression on his face. He says “Yeah, of course. What’s up?”. The fourth panel shows Taash again, with their arms crossed. They look a bit hesitant as they say “I just wanted to ask more about… you. Bein’ trans.” The last panel shows a close up of Rook’s hand slapping the couch, inviting Taash to sit.

A comic page with one large panel that shows Taash sitting on the couch, with their arms crossed. Rook is sitting crosslegged next to them. Taash still looks a bit awkward as they have a back and forth conversation. The dialogue on the page reads: Taash: “How did you figure out you were not a woman?” Rook: “I kind of always knew. As a kid, I used to tell my parents that girls were stupid, and I didn’t want to be one.” Taash: “And they were okay with that?” Rook: “They didn’t tell me I was wrong. They let me dress how I wanted, and helped me when I wanted to cut my hair short.” Taash: “So it was easy for you? You just decided to be a guy instead?” Rook: “I wouldn’t say it was easy. When I got a little older I still had plenty of doubts.” Taash: “What kinda doubts?” Rook: “If I was masculine enough to be a man. Maybe I was just a girl who liked being boyish. It didn’t feel the same every day.” Taash: “Yeah…” Rook: “But when I asked people to use he and him, tried it out, it felt… right. Like that was really me.”

A comic page with four panels. The first panel shows Taash looking as if they’re processing everything Rook has just said. Rook touches them gently on the leg while saying their name. The second panel shows Rook, feet now on the ground and gesturing as he says “You know there’s no shame in trying one thing and then later learning something else fits better, right? There’s no boxes you have to cross to be considered trans or non-binary or anything else. You can just try stuff out… see what sticks.” The third panel shows a close-up of Taash, looking excited at that prospect. They ask “I can?”. Rook replies with “Absolutely.” to which they reply “Maybe I will.” The final panel shows them both again, and Taash looks happier, saying “Thanks, Rook.” Rook is smiling at them, bumping his fist against their shoulder as they say “Anytime, Taash.”

I don’t think any line from a game has hit me as hard as Taash saying “Nobody likes being a woman.” While I’m not trans like Tamryn, what he’s saying is partly based on my own experiences and I felt like he would give Taash the advice I’ve given myself over the years.
#taash #tamrynthorne #dragonage

Sooooooo, I may have started working on that zine for real 👀

It’s will mostly be a passion project for myself, but I do plan on looking into offering it as a digital file when it’s done (perhaps some physical copies too). I’ll try to share some more sneak peeks in the future!
#davrook #tamrynthorne

An illustration of Davrin and Rook being entangled in a desperate kiss, smoke of a battlefield rising around them. Rook is clutching onto Davrin coat with one hand, his other still holding his mage knife. Davrin has one arm wrapped around Rook's waist, the other holding his shield.

“We made it—“

For Dragon Age Kiss Week - Day 5: Battlefield
#davrook #davrin #tamrynthorne #dragonage

A comic consisting of five panels. The first panel shows a clear sky. The second panels show a sudden rain storm, with dark sky and clouds. The third panel shows Rook and Davrin, both dressed in casual outfits. Davrin is pulling Rook along by his hand and together they're running to hide from the rain under a tree. The fourth panel shows Davrin wiping Rook's wet hair aside, while Rook laughs warmly at him as they’re still being rained on. The fifth panel shows them kissing, happy despite the rain.

Drew another little comic for the prompt ‘getting caught in a summer storm’ and once again failed at keeping it simple. Oh well XD

Also imagine, if you will, Assan landing next to them with a wet splat and shaking out his feathers all over them 💦
#davrook #davrin #tamrynthorne #dragonage

An illustration of Tamryn and Davrin standing side by side, in fancy outfits, against a simple background. Tamryn has his hair tied back and his outfit consists of a light green tunic with cream colored sleeves. Over that he’s wearing a long teal colored cape with decorated shoulder pads. The whole outfit has golden accents. Davrin’s outfit consists of a dark blue tunic with lighter blue details. He also has silver shoulder decorations in the shape of griffon feathers, with darker silver shoulder pads underneath. He also has a lighter blue, short cape that is attached to the shoulder pads.

Fancy outfits for Tamryn and Davrin!
Now imagine them dancing together at a ball, laughing and whispering to each other how snobby all those Tevinter nobles are :)
#davrook #davrin #tamrynthorne #dragonage

A comic with multiple panels. The first panel shows Rook, smoke and dust rising up behind him. He’s dressed in light armor, bearing Warden colors and a griffon insignia on his pauldron. He’s carrying his mage knife in one hand, his orb floating behind him and a staff on his back. There is blood and darkspawn grime all over him. He is gesturing angrily, with dialogue that says: “So we’re just going to leave all those people to die?!” The second panel shows overlapping chatter from other Wardens. “But the First Warden’s Orders—“ “The darkspawn will overrun us.” “We are to retreat!” “Our orders stay the same.” “Those villagers are doomed anyway…” “Rook, it’s too dangerous—“ “There’s too many of them!” “We proceed as ordered.” “Don’t be an idiot, Thorne—“ “We can’t stay here!” The third panel shows two close ups of Rook’s eyes. He’s squeezing them closed in the first, then opens them with an intense look in the other. The fourth panel shows Rook stubbornly turning away with his weapons in hand, while saying: “I’m going to collapse the tunnels. Fuck the First Warden.” The last panel is a smaller one on the bottom right corner of the fourth, showing Varric in his Veilguard outfit, carrying Bianca on his shoulders. He’s looking smugly to the side, saying: “Hey Harding, it looks like we found our guy.”

First Impressions

Aka, how Rook got himself recruited by Varric and royally pissed off the First Warden in one afternoon ✨

(I’ve been getting into drawing comics recently and I plan on making that everyone’s problem :) Also, you can find close-ups below)
#tamrynthorne #varrictethras #dragonage

An illustration of Davrin holding a sobbing Rook in his arms as they're sitting on the floor. Rook has his face tucked against Davrin's shoulder, tears running down his cheek as he cries, clutching Davrin's shirt. Davrin is looking emotional too, holding Rook tightly against him.

“I’ve got you, Rook. I’ve got you...”

#davrook #davrin #tamrynthorne #dragonage

It’s my boyyyyy! This is what I mean when I say I feel so spoiled by art fight, everyone’s work is gorgeous ✨🥹

Totally forgot to mention that the ‘drunk shenanigans’ chapter of my 5+1 series is now actually up on AO3 ✨

#davrook #lucanisdellamorte #tamrynthorne #dragonage

An illustration of Rook and Davrin asleep in Davrin's bed. Davrin is laying on his back, his arm loosely laying over Rook's hip. Rook is laying on his side, his back against Davrin's chest and his hands curled underneath his chin.

Another illustration of Davrin and Rook in bed, but now they're laying further apart. Davrin is still on his back, one hand on his stomach. Rook is laying in his stomach, one leg pulled up and one stretched out. He has his arms stretched out in front of his face. Assan is laying across Davrin's legs, his head resting on Rook's knee.

I was tagged in a Ship Sleeping Dynamics thing on tumblr and of course I couldn’t resist drawing it out, since I have very specific headcanons for how Davrin and Tamryn sleep XD

#davrook #davrin #tamrynthorne #dragonage

Three alternative outfits for Rook. The first one is a simple tunic with hood, and a short sleeved shirt underneath. The second is Grey Warden armor, with some chainmail across the shoulders and lots of leather straps. The last one is a simple shirt and shorts, with socks.

Some alternative outfits for Tamryn!

Aka, an excuse to design armor for Rook that doesn’t have giant pauldrons 😬

(Close ups below, because bsky eats the quality)
#dragonage #tamrynthorne

Long time no thread! I’ve been having Dad Davrin on my mind again, so have a little ficlet I wrote a while back, featuring Davrin, my Rook and their daughter, Nelowen

When Davrin wakes up, Rook’s side of the bed is empty.
1/

An illustration of Rook, Davrin and Lucanis sitting at the table in the Lighthouse’s dining hall. All three of them look very hungover. Rook has face planted onto the table, his curly hair in disarray. Davrin is leaning his chin in his hand, looking very tired with his eyes closed. He also has his shirt on backwards. Lucanis is looking even more tired than usual, dark bags under his eyes and a dead expression as he’s holding a cup of coffee. His shirt is open, showing his neck and his hair is also looking very messy.

That story about the bronto suddenly doesn’t seem as funny as the night before XD

(Rook has given up on life entirely, Davrin wonders why there’s a breeze at his back and even Spite is too hungover to harass Lucanis)
