Here's the screenshots & reference images I used for making this, for those unfamilair with him ;) huge thanks to the model maker Mathilde Mazen from the Sandfall team, who included some detail shots of the prop on artstation! It made recreating this so much easier www.artstation.com/artwork/y4qoex

And of course--the secret pocket in the back seam to hold Esquie's special rocks, Verso's wine, and maybe a suspicious mushroom!! This element was a lot of extra work to include but so worth it. Anyway--play @expedition33.bsky.social by @sandfallgames.bsky.social immediately. 10/10 experience

I wanted this plushie to feel as luxurious as a real rich family's toy from the 1800s, so I used upholstery fabrics like chenille, velvet, microsuedes, etc. And put tons of time into the small details & notions to get him perfect, like using shell buttons for the eyes rather than plastic

♥️ Mon ami! ♥️ Sharing my finished Esquie plushie from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33!! As soon as I finished the game, I was so emotional I just had to be able to hug this toy in real life 😭 truly an incredible game 💔 detail pics in reply :) #clairobscur #expedition33 #clairobscurexpedition33 #esquie

A collage of two photos of the Esquie plushie. The first is the front of the toy as it rests on a couch. The second is of the back of the toy on a desk, with a hand opening a zipper on the back seam.

A collage of two photos of the Esquie plushie. The first shows a hand holding 4 small rocks and one ceramic mushroom that had been inside the pocket on the back seam, and you can see a metal flask still inside the pocket. The second photo shows the front of the toy sitting on the desk, with the rocks/mushroom next to it, and a hand pouring red juice from the flask into a wineglass also on the desk in front of the plushie and rocks.

i loved these guys so much. spent ages chasing them around the map, made a mod to give them smooch marks on their little heads, and even commissioned art (@Raposabranca) of Rook finally catching one 😂 sad there was more content for them we'll never see but glad they made it in in some way still!!!

Have been giving my wrists a break from embroidery for a few weeks, so have been doing other sewing projects instead... mainly working on the pattern mockup for an Esquie plushie from #ClairObscur #expedition33 !! obsessed with this game & this waterballoon (wineballoon...) of a creature

I do want to note that while I took like 4 years to make an updated version of this piece, most of that improvement actually came in the following couple weeks. it was mostly just figuring out how to lay threads better to shade & using less strands. All these below pieces were made within 6 months!

a piece of fabric with 4 embroidery hoops on top of it, based off art from Dragon Age: Inquisition. There is a hoop with a red heart, a blue hand with a star in it, a green elf with magic swirls, and the character Solas as posed for his 'romance' tarot card the Hierophant.

I recently decided to redo my very first Dragon Age themed embroidery piece (and second embroidery ever), since my technique changed & improved so much since then! Here's a little side by side ♥️❤️♥️ I really perfected the stained glass look after that one #dragonage #DAFanFriday #dragonageinquisition

A photograph of a 3.5'' embroidery hoop resting on top of a pot with greenery and a few pink flowers. The hoop contains an embroidery of the "romance" icon art from Dragon Age: Inquisition of a heart surrounded by geometric shapes, mimicking the appearance of stained glass. The embroidery is done in all satin stitch to mimic the smoothness and shading of glass.

A close up photo of the embroidery showing details in the stitching, and the metallic thread used to make the read heart in the center stand out more from the surrounding cotton threads

A side by side photo of the embroidery and an older one in a similar style. The design is the same, but the stitching direction and use of color to shade each section has been refined in the newer piece, which looks smoother and and less messy.

example page layout with 2 of my embroidery pieces. ideally it'd be photos of all the art (not scans) to emphasize that it's a physical object! like how i take pics of my embroideries on top of flowerpots, or on little easels with cute decor around them. #DragonAge #dragonageart #dragonagefanart

screenshot of a page layout from an online photobook editor, showing a digital mockup of a booklet with two photos of embroideries filling each page. There is a Solas stained-glass style embroidery with a background of greenery and orange petunias, and a Lucanis embroidery on greenery with purple petunias.

Jade @threadwolf.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

some detail photos--I also used tiny dots of pink watercolor on top of the light threads of the circles/"eyes" in the background to better mimic the card art. A pretty subtle detail, but I love how it came out! #LucanisDellamorte #dragonagefanart #lucanis #rookanis #dragonagetheveilguard

Lucanis Dellamorte 💜🗡️ stained glass style embroidery! This 8inch hoop is my biggest piece in this style yet, and allowed for so many tiny details. Most of this piece is done in silk thread, with a few areas of satin & metallic finish floss 💟 #dragonage #DAfanfriday #veilguard #datv #embroidery

A top-down photo of an embroidery hoop resting on top of a pot of flowers. The stitching is of the character Lucanis from Dragon Age, and is done in a style to mimic the appearance of stained glass.

this will be my LAST wip update because the colors are DONE! next is outlining each section with black thread, framing it in the display hoop, and a few other end process touch-ups. home stretch now (nevermind that it is still 10-15 more hours of work)!!!

A photo of an embroidery hoop with a stitched design of the Lucanis tarot card from Dragon Age Veilguard in it. The pattern is entirely stitched, following a style mimicing stained glass. The hoop sits on top of a flower pot with green leaves and small colorful flowers in it.

Bit by bit... getting closer!!! Metallic threads next, and so many of them 😩 i don't time myself on these pieces (can't remember to do so + i kind of Don't Want To Know) but i'd guess this has been 60-70 hours for just the stitching so far

I've had an insanely expensive month, so opening for just 1-2 embroidery commissions! My examples are all Dragon Age based, but open to any source inspiration or original concepts. Unlimited thread colors! #embroidery #commissions #dragonage #art

A commission info sheet with photos of embroidery examples. Text reads from the top down:
Embroidery Commissions! by @threadwolf, stained glass style only.
$200 for a 3.5 inch hoop: one figure/object or simple scene, medium level of detail.
$400-600 for 6.5 inch hoop: 1-2 figures, high level of detail, price based on design complexity.
Can be existing game asset (tarot, icon, etc) OR conversion of original/fanart (w/ artist permission).

Each style of commission has images of completed embroideries at that size, and the bottom shows an artist's custom artwork, that artwork redrawn digitally in the stained glass style, and the final stitched project.

Aaaaand the primary background! this part took SO long and was quite tedious, but nearly done with the main body. Still a ton of work left though, with the border and specialty threads...

Progress!! Done with the figure (minus metallics), on to the background :)

Keeping track of all 7 shades of grey I'm using in the armor/shading is going to drive me insane but at least it looks nice

Another purple silk, this one still has some variegation, but much more subtle. The satin stitch fills always look much nicer at large sizes like this I think!

Jade @threadwolf.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

Going to be using a lot of specialty threads in this one--this first color is a hand dyed (not by me this time) silk thread from Gloriana! I loooove the subtle variegations in this purple, they show up so much more nicely in the larger frame size!

A hand holds up an embroidery hoop with purple fabric inside it, and an outline of Lucanis from Dragon Age printed on the fabric. There are only a few sections of color stitched in purple thread. Some pots with flowers are in the background.

Finally started the large version of the Lucanis tarot card embroidery (and keep forgetting to crosspost it here), after making the smaller mock-up months ago. This will be sized for an 8 inch display hoop

Here's my finished trade with @espamistwalker.bsky.social!! 😊 her original design was lovely to stitch 💛💚💙 I know I say this every time but this one has my smallest sections yet I think, and definitely my best faces! #solas #solavellan #lavellan #dragonage #dragonageinquisition #dai #embroidery

A 4.5 inch faux-wood embroidery hoop displayed hanging on a shrub. The embroidery is all done in satin stitch to mimic a stained glass or lineart art style, featuring Solas and Lavellan from Dragon Age standing back to back with colorful swirls in the background.

mad at myself for not writing color lists for past patterns the way I thought I did (or maybe just misplaced it), so doing a mock-up of my Solas designs with a glass texture effect instead. I think they'd be fun as stickers, but haven't been able to justify it yet... #dragonage #solas #fen'harel

A line up of stained-glass style depictions of the Hermit, Tower, and Hierophant tarot cards from Dragon Age: Inquisition. The first shows a waist-up figure holding a staff with hills and magic circles in the background, the second shows a small figure walking while a the large dark wolf towers over him on a red and orange background, and the third shows a waist-up figure holding a staff and reaching for a leaf with geometric lines in the background. They have a texture applied to them to make them look more like stained glass.

Made the #veilguard Antivan Crow mini embroideries into magnets! Felt backing + neodymium magnet, I think the look is cleaner than the unfinished back also. Work on the fridge or the corners of your home 😂 (did you know there's metal in those?). Up next mournwatch, warden, & veiljumper attempt...

4 miniature oval embroidery frames about 1.5 inches tall laying on a table. Three show small embroidered purple crow or mask symbols for the Antivan Crows from Dragon Age: Veilguard, the fourth is flipped over to show a magnet attached to the back.

The 4 magnet embroideries hold a postcard with the northern lights on it and a card shaped like a butterfly to a fridge

the four magnets set onto the corner of a home wall, where the metal frame allows them to stick through the paint/plaster. Part of a print of Solas is visible on each side of the walls leading to the corner.

Video showing how shiny the threads are! top 2 are silk+cotton, bottom 3 satin finish The metal one is a necklace (chain not pictured); the hoops aren't closed on the back but I might glue a felt circle on or something on the back to trap the fabric down. Or maybe add a magnet onto the back? Hmm...

Antivan Crow faction symbols pendants done! 💜 These were fun to experiment with :) will try the other logos & different fabric options next! not really sure what I wanna do with all these... if anyone wants to do an art trade or purchase one feel free to message #dragonage #veilguard #antivancrows

A photo of 5 small (about 2 inch long) mini embroidery frames with embroidered versions of the Dragon Age Veilguard crow faction logos in them. One design looks like a mask and the other a bird in flight, all stitched in varying purple threads on grey fabric.

Photo of a sheet of paper with 6 small ovular embroidery templates printed on it. 3 of the designs show a stylized crow while the other 3 show a stylized mask. They are based on the Antivan Crows faction symbols from dragon age. An embroidery hoop, metal pendant base, and wooden pendant base sit on top of the paper.

Me? Doing a smaller mock-up (& skipping small details) for a design to test colors before committing hours to them? There's a first time for everything I guess! Making this tiny version faster & way messier than I do for major pieces, and it's nice to see it come together so quick for a change.

More thread dying shenanigans from last night, to make a more gradual gradient between these lovely silk greys. While this range was a LOT more complete than typical DMC cotton floss (almost no dark grey options), I still wanted just a subtle touch darker than the leftmost 2 in some areas.

A photo of a kitchen stove and counter top. There is a line of small pyrex ramekins with soapy water and a mixing spoon in them, and two of the ramekins have bundles of embroidery floss soaking in water. There is a kettle boiling on the stove and tubes of RIT dye, salt, and dish soap in the background.

A line of six bundles of silk embroidery floss placed on a piece of white paper. The two on the left are dark grey, the two on the right similar shades of lighter grey. The two in the middle are the hand dyed results from the previous photo, showing greys between the others in color/shade.

finally getting somewhere with this Lucanis embroidery pattern... it's been the most difficult to convert (WHERE are his HANDS 😭) and I'm going to have to make it Larger than my Solas series to account for all those tiny areas. but it will be worth it. i think. i hope. 😬 #DragonAge #Veilguard
