Changing of the Seasons

Description

EDIT:

Thought of this randomly today and decided to update with enhanced colour contrast.



This was my entry for the :iconthe-bards-college: Summer Contest.

The female elf in the picture is my Inquisitor from Dragon Age: Inquisition dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Drago… - Yavanna Lavellan.

The human mage is Tevinter Magister Gereon Alexius dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Alexi… - the antagonist of the In Hushed Whispers quest and, like many Bioware villains, a multi-dimensional character with a backstory that might make some players sympathetic to him.

I ship them. A lot.

As the theme of the contest is Change, the four seasons represent the change in Alexius' good/evil alignment, and his relationship with the Inquisitor.

Autumn shows despair and decay; Alexius' only son is dying of the Blight and he is desperately trying to save him.

Winter is cold and deadly; at his wits' end, Alexius has agreed to join the evil Venatori cult and work against the Inquisition, in exchange for a vague promise of a cure for his beloved child.

Spring means new beginnings; Alexius has been defeated and captured by the Inquisition, while his son is left to die. But even in the darkness that surrounds him, he finds an unexpected new friend: the Inquisitor has shown him mercy. (Yup, I referenced those hands from pardoned!Blackwall's epilogue slide).

And finally, the central panel is Summer, showing that Alexius and the Inquisitor have gone from enemies to friends to lovers.
