Alright, here she is! I pitched the idea of including illustrations in our special month-long IGN First coverage of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and I'm so so happy that they loved the idea.
I wanted to create a hero banner that would be at the top of every article to tie them all together to our exclusive coverage of the game, so I came up with this. I wanted to keep all the pieces in a cohesive style which is very much inspired by in-game murals and the previous art I've done for my own Inquisitor (and a friends). I always go back to the same touch stones with these: religious art, stained glass windows, playing cards and of course tarot.
As with my other pieces in this style, every color you see is hand picked and adjusted by me; there's no color overlays at all and I did this all in about 2 and a half days!
If you're interested in seeing more of my art and DA:TV, then check out some of IGN's exclusive content here.

I know it's been said before by many different people, but, and I truly cannot stress this enough: DO NOT harass the Dragon Age cast, DO NOT push parasocial behaviors or expectations on them, DO NOT objectify them and treat them as if they are there solely for your personal entertainment.
I have seen people - especially in the bg3 fandom - harass people over their "treatment" of a character, only to then violate the boundaries of the actor that portrays them. There are so many instances of the character being treated better than the person behind them.
Keep in mind that these are REAL PEOPLE who have their own lives, thoughts experiences and values, and their feelings matter a lot more than someone's need to feel sexually gratified at their expense. So let's not conflate sexualizing a person against their wishes with "appreciating their work".
Remember: the fictional characters they portray are not real, they have no thoughts, agency or feelings, so you can say whatever you like about them, because they don't exist and don't have boundaries to cross. But the actors who play those characters are real and you cannot treat them as you would the character themselves.
Andrew Wincott, the actor for Raphael in bg3, had to deal with fans acting as if they were entitled to his time, his promotions and overall his general attention. And Neil Newbon, who has been nothing but lovely and very kind to his fans, repeatedly told people how uncomfortable they had started to make him before taking action after it went too far for too long.
So, in closing:
DON'T BE PARASOCIAL WITH THE DA:TV CAST, DON'T SEXUALIZE THEM, AND RESPECT THEIR BOUNDARIES BECAUSE THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE AND THEY DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING!!
