Description Falon'Din.
God of Death and Fortune in elven pantheon of Dragon Age universe.

"He and his twin brother, Dirthamen, are the eldest children of Elgar'nan the All-Father and Mythal the Protector and were inseparable from birth.
[...]
It is also said that Falon'Din's vanity and desire for worshippers was so great he started brutal wars to gain more, killing all who would not bow to him. Only once Mythal rallied the other gods and they attacked Falon'Din in his own temple did he surrender." (da-wiki)

Also:
"Falon'Din is also known as a "twin soul" to Dirthamen: a non-romantic, quintessentially elven relationship that binds beyond friendship. In some corners the two gods are not referred to as brothers at all." (da-wiki)
+
"The oldest stories never even name them directly, referring to Falon’Din as “Dirthamen’s shadow,” and Dirthamen as “Falon’Din’s reflection.” (codex entry)

This led me to idea Falon'Din and Dirthamen might actually be one person with dissociative identity disorder. However they still might be two different people.
Thus I covered his face with mask. Even though there IS face undernearth it. So you'll never know.. *evil laughter*

Solas said that his vanity was matched only by his bloodlust I say the reaper touch you put here is pretty apropriate. Congrats, keep it up!

My favorite part of it is how you draw the scythe it is not immediently aparent what it is (at least for me it wasn't) and can be mistaken for a rod. Solas revelation in the Temple of Mythal was mind-blowing especially with the giant mosaic of him.

All Solas' revelations were mind-blowing in fact..
DA Inquisition made a huge step in lore revealing and I'm eager for more.

It's always good to have a nice collection of human skulls in your basement. You never know when you might need them.

Nice! It's interesting to see how the face mask dehumanises him quite a bit. The crown + mask is a nice seamless integration.

Absolutely gorgeous! I really like all the small details in his attire, the gold fingers (fingercaps? gloveless gloves? I have no idea ) and tips of his ears. The idea with the mask and twin identities is a clever one as well.

My only regret is that I've only played DA: Origins and therefore have no insight to the mythology around this character. ; _ ;

Thanks a lot! That stuff on his fingers is golden paint. :3

I hope you'll get a chance to play other DA games, they are quite entertaining.
