me? dying? it’s more likely than you think.

I finally sat down and drew an armor for the girl! I had been wanting to for forever, but I knew I was in for a headache, and oh boy, was I right :’D

Initially I thought about going the DA way, but honestly the in-game chevalier armor I find severely lacking, and Nadette is one to wear more refined things, so I knew I wanted one of those very fancy engraved armors that make the wearer look knightly and rich.

The gambeson had to be pink because that is her color, and of course she wears fancy frilly underthings (that are not period appropriate, but honestly. honestly. she deserves them). As for the armor, it is made of silverite, and there is a twin of it that belonged to her husband. The armor is engraved with floral motives and roses and (in the one I envisioned) also thorny branches, alluding to the family name, Desrosiers. The helm is decorated with the yellow feather that distinguishes chevaliers.

I’m super satisfied with how this turned out, I think I did her justice and she makes a pretty and very protected knight :3

Disclaimer: I did not draw the engravings, I just slapped some engraving drawings on top of it and added some highlights because this is for personal use and I did not have the patience nor the mastery to do it justice :’D

Full, functional plate armor with feminine touches that are NOT boob-shaped?

This is simply lovely. The attention to detail in the design decisions really shows what a person can do when they’re not just making a design for the tiddy. I’d love to see her with her weapon. The engravings are a bit too much for me, but honestly, I can totally see a noble family overdoing the fanciness on their armor to one-up the other nobles.

This bingo Sunday I decided to be experimental and compare SMITE’s The Morrigan with the character she’s clearly ripped off from… Morrigan. 

The results were quite predictable. The SMITE version hits all the same squares (except boob window, cause that’s way beyond what “window” in clothing is) AND THEN SOME to the point of scoring a very common bingo row.
HiRez’s brand of sexualization is more bland than BioWare’s? Color me unsurprised.

No-one would ever argue the Dragon Age character’s costume is not sexualized, though at least it’s iconic enough to tell right away when someone’s shamelessly copying her. Also she knows what good pants are, that’s some compensation for the bizarre hood-scarf too 😉

Tidy Up Tuesday #37


We’re happy to add League of Sexism to our related sites. It’s a blog devoted to examination of sexist double standards in League of Legends. A must-read to anyone interested in more detailed criticism of sexism focused entirely on LoL (something we at BABD, as a blog about general media, can not provide).


@danceoffools made a very important mod for female armor in Dragon Age: Origins. Check it out here!  (It fixes medium armors!)

BABD Recommends – Game Mods Edition

While many major developers fall short on a regular basis, but thankfully there are people who work diligently to correct their shortfalls.  And here are the works of a few whom we particularly recommend.

Despite the many perils of looking through mod sites, and the things that I can never unsee, I still love modders and the way they allow players to adjust their own experience and add the kind of content they want to see.

Sadly due to the nature of systems involved, most of these are only available for PC only.

Dragon Age: Origins

Dragon Age 2

Dragon Age: Inquisition

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Mass Effect 3

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Have fun!

* This mod unfortunately had a “fair skinned” version added, which we do not recommend.  Just say “no” to white washing.
