DAI - Inquisitor Lavellan

DONE! U____U Don’t ask me how long this took, I didn’t keep track but my estimate is well over 20 hours at least. And about 150 layers.

It’s funny to me, because… when I drew this I had absolutely 100% ZERO interest in coloring this. XD

Anyway, this took forever and I’m all squinty eyed from all the staring I’ve been doing, getting all the details in and doing the effects and such. I don’t have a headache, surprisingly, so I consider that a bonus ^__^ Either way, I AM very happy with how this came out!

Sketch, inks, flats and basic shades were all done in Painttool SAI. Additional shading, effects and lightning fixes/balance were done in Photoshop. I could have done more with the background, made it look better but I hate backgrounds and I just wanted to be done with this. XD
Background was referenced from an official Trespasser promo screenshot.
Arcane symbol (heavily modified) from here: Arcane Circles-Symbols Photoshop and GIMP Brushes
Foliage brushes from here: Vegetation / Foliage Textures Photoshop Brushes

Taerel is my bbyyyyyy~ and he will kick you asssssss.

I didn’t save any other process shots so these will have to do.

And now I need food and a movie, holy crap. A break is what is needed here.
