Anders - I am Justice

I finally gave Dragon Age 2 a try, and what better way to celebrate the fact that it owns my soul right now as by making fan art of my favourite apostate, Anders?

I adore him and his tragic romance so much it's a bit scary. I totally loved the whole Anders/Justice/Vengeance angle of the story, and I really hope they'll pick up on that once again in a future expansion.


This is actually a painting exercise in Photoshop with no 3D elements at all, inspired by the scene where Anders changes to Justice for the first time while being inside the Chantry to free his friend, and I worked on it like a madwoman since Sunday after finishing my first playthrough. I had to rely heavily on screenshots from the game as a reference to get things right because I'm so bad at painting freehandedly , but I learned some nice new things about the program in the process and now have a new Anders wallpaper to boot!


There's probably more fan art to come - I definitely need one of my female Hawke, and I plan to build a nice-looking Anders model with Zbrush one day, so stay tuned!
