Thanks Berserker79 for your comment! :)

Nice to see Aveline join the ranks of the DA heroines in your gallery. She was the only one from the DA2 lineup still missing so far, but that's been fixed for good! Aveline here looks a bit more… “fresh-faced” than what we see in the game and I like to think that is how she looked when she was a bit younger and had less things to worry about in her life before she met Hawke. I really like you have painted her with a nice set of abs and muscular arms because frankly that’s what I’d expect from a woman who practices a lot with a sword and shield. At the same time she is depicted in a pretty much seductive pose, undoing that small hair-bun of hers, just like she is preparing to take a bath. ;) The details of her outfit are spot on as usual and make the character easily recognizable. And I also like your personal touch to make that outfit skimpier than the original: the shirt tied just below her breasts is really cool! :)

Thank you Ciarán! <3

Oh wow, these colours are absolutely gorgeous, everything looks so vibrant with wonderfully contrasting tones throughout. Avelines skin, hair and clothes pop so nicely against the greens of the background, while her lovely eyes are so distinct against her skin. I also like the way the background is split into the lighter tones of the sky against the darker foliage at the bottom. I also really like Avelines pose and clothing, how she's in the process of letting down her hair, while her raised arms cause her shoulder muscles to activate, with her marvellous abs in full view. In the SFW version, I love how her skirt teases parts of her thighs too. The rendering here is top notch too, her hair is beautifully lit and detailed and I love the rim lighting running across the contours of her face, bright and white on one side while more subtle and set against shadows on the other. Her clothing has a great deal of detail and texture to it, I particularly like her golden bracers and the designs engraved into them, as well as the many folds in her shirt and the knot at the centre. And of course her body is just magnificent! 😍😍😍 Her shoulders, toned muscles of her biceps, chest and sensational abs are all so appealing and well rendered, the skin texture itself is fantastic. The blending of tones is so subtle and soft with great warm lighting and shadows across her body to accentuate her, particularly her hips and outer thighs. The shapes of her breasts are very well done and very appealing, while I love how you made her so muscular and toned while still giving her these voluptuous hips 💜. Brilliant work on this painting! And just to reiterate, the colours are vibrant and perfect, the rendering and lighting are terrific while Avelines face is just beautiful! This definitely gets me excited to see what you do next with Lara 😄
