CONFESSION:
Somehow I can't force myself to use the Grey Warden armors while playing DAI. I know it's just an armor and doesn't indicate anything and no one in the game comments on it, but it feels somehow disrespectful to be wearing it, especially after playing DAO (doesn't stop me from putting Blackwall in it, the irony makes it funny)

Commander Lady Cousland, of the Grey Wardens of Ferelden, and her loyal mabari, at the coasts of Highever with the castle on the background.
Finished is better than perfect, so here we are. I hope you guys like it!
The castle is based on Il castello di Bentheim by Jacob Van Ruisdael.

You know when there’s just something you’re never going to finish because your brain is being pulled in a million directions? No? Just me?
I’m currently replaying all of the dragon age games right and honestly the fact that Anders took out his slutty little hoop earring is a tragedy I will never get over it.
My excitement for da4 is astronomical. I just finished Origins romancing the sweet sweet boy <3 which I hadn’t done in a while (I’m a Zevran girly to the end) and had them both live? It’s been a minute since I’ve done the weird god baby thing with Morrigan and honestlyyyyy what a world.
Anyway this drawing took me 8 hours and frankly I just don’t think it’s ever going to get finished and I’m decently happy with it right now — so therefore I must post so I can delete it from my procreate (ง •̀_•́)ง

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION TIME
Sophia Dryden's Grey Warden armor slaps way harder than whatever that blue stripey business is.

okay, I can't be mad at Blackwall idk, dude is funny
I accidentally got in some Deep Roads to find red lyrium smugglers and all, but we found a bunch of darkspawns so my man asks him "Blackwall, how many of them there?" bc yeah, GREY WARDEN POWERS and he is just "Uhhhh hard to say, let's be cautious"
so my Inquisitor, Varric (who def remembers a lot of Anders' commentaries and complaints on their Expedition bc Hawke dragged him there) and Dorian probably being like:

Dragon Age various armours (my nemesis)
Those drawings are always more difficult but I always find myself enjoying the process if I do it right

Codex Entry #39: The Grey Wardens
The first Blight had already raged for 90 years. The world was in chaos. A god had risen, twisted and corrupted. The remaining gods of Tevinter were silent, withdrawn. What writing we have recovered from those times is filled with despair, for everyone believed, from the greatest archons to the lowliest slaves, that the world was coming to an end.
At Weisshaupt fortress in the desolate Anderfels, a meeting transpired. Soldiers of the Imperium, seasoned veterans who had known nothing their entire lifetimes except hopeless war, came together. When they left Weisshaupt, they had renounced their oaths to the Imperium. They were soldiers no longer: They were the Grey Wardens.
The Wardens began an aggressive campaign against the Blight, striking back against the darkspawn, reclaiming lands given up for lost. The Blight was far from over, but their victories brought notice, and soon they received aid from every nation in Thedas.
They grew in number as well as reputation. Finally, in the year 992 of the Tevinter Imperium, upon the Silent Plains, they met the archdemon Dumat in battle. A third of all the armies of northern Thedas were lost to the fighting, but Dumat fell and the darkspawn fled back underground.
Even that was not the end.
The Imperium once revered seven gods: Dumat, Zazikel, Toth, Andoral, Razikale, Lusacan, and Urthemiel. Four have risen as archdemons. The Grey Wardens have kept watch through the ages, well aware that peace is fleeting, and that their war continues until the last of the dragon-gods is gone.

MY SPECIALEST LITTLE GRIMDARK MAN!!! SUFFERER!!!!
My Grey Warden Varand for my irl homebrew D&D 5e game that's almost borderline not D&D at this point since we have about a million house rules. We have a team of not one but FOUR Grey Warden PCs playing through a slightly modified version of Dragon Age: Origins since the dm is a massive DAO fan.
I have posted about him before. Love my sad guy. I'm dealing with our two month holiday delay a very normal amount.
DETAILS
I reused a pic I already drew for the front ref and already had most of Varand's new upgraded armor drawn out and it still took me Literally Forever to ink.
There's no good wiki ref for the darkspawn blood Warden's Oath amulets and straight up I am too lazy to hunt down a playthrough so GUESS who got to just make shit up? :) It's meeeeeee. Our GM makes shit up all the time apparently he added an entirely new dragon for us to encounter and it slapped.
The Dragon Vessel is from the awesome ice dragon dungeon we did a year ago. I've never really thought about what it would look like and settled on "normal looking potion bottle but weirdly icy" and drew some fun frost patterns on there.
I never want to draw another reference in my entire life!
(she says foolishly as she makes an entirely separate reference sheet for werewolf!Varand and starts on a nice reference for most beloved bastard Silas)
