Dragon Age II Valentines

Someone asked me if I was going to do some valentines for Dragon Age 2 this year.

My response was "Try and stop me. No really, I fear for my sanity."

Alas no one thought to stop me so here are seven companion, free to print off for all valentines.

Use them sparingly lest you accidentally unleash the Old Gods.


I could have made about thirty different Isabela ones if I had time.
Oh Anders, always such a romantic.
I spent way too much time trying to get the "tattoos" to look like they were glowing and of course you can barely tell.
I couldn't find any copper reliefs of marigolds so I made my own.
A Varric one simply isn't the same without Bianca.
And finally Sebastians, I fear you can still tell how little I care for him. Shut up, Sebastian!
But if you still want some of the Originals - including old Anders - beneath the cut are all of the ones from last year. You can practically canvas a neighborhood with love and nerdiness with all the Valentine's I've made.

Analia

Another short story tale as I take one of my characters through a gauntlet of the mind.

Oh Hai Snow!

I never put much stock in the prognostications of ground dwelling rodents in relation to their shadow casting, but I have been proven oh so very wrong.

After having 60 degree weather at the start of the week last night Mr. Phil took it upon himself to thunder over a foot of the white stuff all across the midwest/heartland/middle o' nowhere/Narnia over night.

As you can about guess the dog is ecstatic, acting like a puppy who is driving us all mad as we fight to the death through this mentally offsetting cabin fever.
Hitting her baby stride the first winter that trapped us all in for four days around Christmas she turns into a mad happy machine whenever the snow gets past her knees. And in the process drives us to the brink of snow madness.

Which can be evidenced in the two pictures I proceeded to take with my props to keep myself from strangling Jack Nicholson in the basement.

So far we've been pretty lucky, no downed branches, no loss of power, and the roads are thawing quickly thanks to the temps hoovering around freezing.

But there's a threat of more snow coming so I don't know if we'll all make it out alive *hefts up axe*

A Harry Potter Valentine

For the nerd that wants something a bit different than the typical punch card fare.

Expect many more as that day of death and roses comes knocking.
