Back with some Dragon Age art!

Replaying the games has made me miss this fandom so much 😭

Here is a sneaky Zevran piece I did for @roadtotheimperium, a Dragon Age zine! Please check it out and support all the awesome creators who were apart of it! 🎉

a character study of anders

Anders likes to think that once, quite possibly a long time ago, he was a man who was whole. The original version of him, before all of this, before everything came and picked him apart like carrion vultures. Before breaking him down and building him back up again, but wrong. New pieces that didn’t quite fit, forced to bend and never shatter.

When he tries to remember that man — that boy, really — the images are hazy. Distant. Obscured by what he’s endured since then.

It started that long ago, didn’t it? The shift from man to mage, the first piece of him changed irrevocably. It was never an issue, until it was. Until it became a way to identify him, and a reason to fear him.

He has never been ashamed of being labeled a mage. He let it fuel him, define him. People would throw the title in his face like it was meant to hurt, but it was always a matter of pride.

But that’s the catch, isn’t it? Mages aren’t supposed to feel pride. The Chantry would have everyone believe that emotions such as pride opened them up to the chance of a demon slipping in, corrupting the Mage’s weakness to their own end.

Anders knew the truth: Pride let Mages feel like they weren’t objects to be controlled.

So the Circle took his freedom and turned it into a weapon to be used against him. The templars took that word and only then did he begin to hate it. Mage. Always just one step away from Apostate. From a danger to himself and others.

And that label, Apostate, was hurled with more force and venom. That was the word to be afraid of. It promised punishment, it promised bars on his cage, it promised masters when he wanted none.

This is the fic I wrote for the @roadtotheimperium zine this spring! copies are now on their way out, so we’ve been given the greenlight to post our pieces :)

Thank you to the mods for organizing, and I had a tremendous amount of fun writing this!!

First painting in weeks and of course it’s Anders! :D I was kinda busy playing DA:I. Even after my fith run I’m still amazed of how much time you can spend playing without getting bored.
