Description The first of four sketch cards that I'm doing for the ever wonderful Miss DarthJazz (I implore you to take a gander at her gallery if you haven't already - [link] ) She gave me free reign with the theme, so I plumped for drawing four of her favourite video game characters.

So, without further ado, I present to you (a very happy looking) Alistair, the Grey Warden from Bioware's Dragon Age: Origins.

I hope Jazz likes it, and I hope you do too!

All the credit for that should go to Bioware and Steve Valentine!

And thank you for your advice! I did move his mouth down a smidge and it looked a lot better.

Thank you! I always saw Alistair as the sort of chap that had a completely OTT (but 100% genuine) grin.

Aww man, this has got Alistair draw all over it. His adorable eyes and big bright smile...you captured the emotion so well in this that I smiled while looking at it!

Well done dear!

Thank you so much, m'dear! I'm so, so glad it made you smile, since that was my aim in the first place.

Oh god,I love him I love him I love him!
--his expression is so sweet and happy and utterly perfect for his personality!

Everything about this is just perfect--the shading,the expression,right down to the colours used.
Thank you soooo much,Lu!

HOORAY! I'm so glad you like him!

I did draw another, more staid-boring-bog standard Alistair, which I was really not too pleased with. Then, I saw this GORGEOUS photo of Michael Fassbender grinning like a loon; it was such a broad, genuine smile and I thought "that's how Alistair would do it!" The End.

Suffice to say, it looks faaaar better in reality, but I'm completely chuffed you like him and it was a pleasure to draw!

DarthJazz In reply to lubyelfears [2011-08-02 12:23:05 +0000 UTC]

I adore him,my dear! Everything about this matches his personality perfectly!

--and what a lovely bloke to take inspiration from.

My first thought on seeing this was that he needed a shiny sparkle on his teeth.

Fabulous

He does look like the poster boy of some cheesy ad-campaign, doesn't he? And thank you very much!

The only thing he's missing is a little shiny star on his teeth. XD

Or eye. Either works. Maybe both?

Very nicely done! Title fits well.

He could well be advertising toothpaste, couldn't he?

And thank you very much indeed!
