      Thank you kindly!

      It's called " DA: O 2 Leliana Armor " and it's a replica of Lelianas actual armor in some scenes of the DA game. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link to it here, but it's on a Russian site called ModGames. I hope it helps, otherwise send me a pm and I'll give you the link...

      I can't speak Russian myself, but translating (well, parts at least) the site with the help of Google tells me it's only for females...

      Sorry...

      So far I've only found female DA armors and they're not that many either. One would think there would be male armors from DA available as well, but I haven't seen anyone so far. It's a bit strange actually, since there are ported armors from The Witcher and Assassins' Creed, but the ones from DA is no where to be found. A pity, because we sure need more good-looking male armors...

    Yes, I still remember her though quit some time has past since I played DAO.
    I only played the first game from that series, but I remember it as a very good one,
    especially all the characters. You did a very good job setting her up for the land of Skyrim. I pretty much like the shot where she aims with her bow (6th in description),
    it presents her in a great way IMO. Even the armor fits perfectly.

    That´s a good idea with the celebrity event. Congrats!

      Thanks a lot, Mike!

      Yes, I have very fond memories from the first time I played DAO myself...and to be honest, this game is not dead to me, because I still have it installed on my old computer. I tend to use it whenever my son or daughter occupies the "new rig" and I fully enjoy the story and the characters still today...

      Leliana is my first try of an actual character not made up by myself and she turned out lovely, although not perhaps all that similar. My second try was this Saturday and I did a far better second attempt, this time with Morrigan...

      The celebrity event is challenging and fun, so expecta lot of more DA characters to come!

    It's a pretty good rendition of Leliana my friend. This is a good idea though I probably wont partake in.

    Though you could say I've already done this. With Midna from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Raven from the Teen Titan comics. I also have Starfire from the same comics though she is still on flickr. Hope more people join in on your and Tanja's idea.

      Thank you, my friend!

      I like my Leliana, but it's not truly the real thing either, so perhaps it's better to call it my interpretation of the character. It gives me room for some "free creativity" at least. I'm curious about trying her again, but this time built from the DAI-version. It'll have to wait though, because there are a lot of "celebrities" standing in line...

      You've certainly done this before, so it's quite alright to upload a few shots of any of the ones you've already done if you feel like it. It doesn't have to be "new fresh pics", so if you have a few Midna's, Raven's or Starfire's to show, you're most welcome to partake...

    Good job Rick. i've tried this with several real people and it is very tough. I created some of my friends from work and that was a hoot. Both Aria and Lady Jocelyn of mine are from real life beauties.

      Thanks a lot, Patrick!

      It's indeed tough! Harder than I thought actually, especially when the character creation in Skyrim can go very deep in details. The flaws and "wrongs" show immediately which can be a bit frustrating!

      But it was also a heck of a fun thing to do, so I'm going to keep this rolling. One can only improve and Leliana got a nice warm greeting too. That's encouraging!

      Your Aria is very good in my opinion, because I've seen the original (and what a woman) and you have an excellent likeness in your character...

      A heartfelt thanks, Corfus!

      Very cool to see you're making a visit here and I'm very glad you like "my first try" of a celebrity. Leliana is a lovely character and she had me spellbound the first time she sang to me in the game...

    Rick, as I wrote to Tanja, you two are awesome together! Really like the idea, someday I gona try it out, I'm sure! Leliana is a complex character, she has a deep personality, and you made a fantastic job on her! If you do not give the title, I recognise her too!

      Truly thank you, Lidi!

      I have to admit I've felt some pressure on myself before this post. I know we all have our own standards when it comes to recognisable characters and since I've never tried to make "a celebrity" before, I was a bit nervous. But it was so much fun too and I suspect the pressure will be even heavier on my shoulders for this coming Saturday, but I'm going to do my best with my second "celebrity"...

    Awesome job with the likeness Rick, as I said the same on Tanja's post, again as Music points out, way better than the Original, I'm glad that you and Tanja added them as I have no clue about the said game, great works with her

      Thanks a lot, Izzy!

      This was very fun to do, but hard as hell - especially to me since I'm used to just make "images" of my own characters. I'm happt with the result too though, even if one always can improve on things, so I will go for my second try of another game character this coming Saturday. Sad to say though, this character will be from the same game as this time, so it won't be much of a celebrity to you...

    I like the idea very much. First I saw Tanja`s version of Cassandra and now yours of Leliana. I have played DAO some years ago and as I remember, she was not my favourite char (it was Morrigan).
    Maybe she would have been it, when they would have used your version...she is much more better than the original I like your pictures very much ...really well done

      Oh, I just know you're going to make excellent characters if you ever decide to join in - PLEASE DO!!!

      As for Leliana, I grew very fond of her in the DAO even if Morrigan is very close behind as well. Lets just say Leliana won my heart with her hair and her song...

      Also, this is only the premier week of this event. I plan to release a new celebrity every Saturday if possible, so maybe your favorite will be around...maybe...

      I'm glad you like my first try of a celebrity character and I wouldn't mind "my" Leliana in the DAO either...

      I`m looking foreward and I`m very tensed to meet your Morrigan

      I think about joyning this adventure .... but I need an idea....all the characters I have in mind are persons of books without any idea of a picture...only in my mind.
      So, I created Moiraine Sedai and Lan from the "Wheel of time" and Jamie and Claire Fraser from the novels of Diana Gabaldon ( now there is a film, but the main chars are not so compatible with my own idea ) .... I don´t know actresses or WIP`s...

      We actually thought about including characters from books and novels too, but since these "images" would be all individual depending on the reader, we wanted to stay away from that area. Perhaps book characters can be included when we run out of game/tv/movie-characters...

    Excellent interpretation of this well-known character. I like your vision of this character better than the original!

      Oh dear, that's very kind of you to say, Randy! Thank you so much!

      It's always tricky, making your own versions of famous and popular characters, because we all have our own interpretation of that particular personality. But it has also been so much fun doing this, and like I've said to others here, I'm already eager to try my next...although it will have to wait until next Saturday...

      Very glad to hear you like her and I'm also super-curious about what you can do with some of the "celebrities" around with your own expertise in character creations...
