Description

To find peace in a battered world, 

through a battered body, a battered soul. 

Hope.

To cleanse the world in memory of paradise,

 a pure start, a pure world. 

Despair. 

Redemption with the world, redemption of the world.

Two sides of the same coin.

Salvation.

Love the concept. And it's fun to see you made Solas smiling while Cullen has a serious look, it really pulls out the feeling of him being Fen'Harel and Cullen being the soldier.

I've never drawn these two together before. I'm loving the duality of their... everything. From personalities to history to design to hair (and lack of).

Wow, hot. I am very intrigued by your choice to make Solas smile and Cullen not. I would think it would be the opposite in reality, but this clearly means more than just "what the eye can see", and I think your choice is very striking. Nicely done.

It is a case of more than skin deep I always found Cullen to be more uncertain, every day is a struggle, every headache is a battle, every night is a war with dreams and horrors. He walks a path he's certain of, but is unsure of the strength of his legs. He will do it because he must, because this is the world he lives in, even if every day is hard. He can find goodness. That is why he struggles.

Solas is conflicted over what he has to do, if the Inquisitor showed him that there are people like her in the world. He doesn't know if the path he takes is right, but he has the power to make his goals happen. He will hope that the Inquisitor will turn him from his path, but he will do what he has to, because this is not the world he remembers, and every day is hard. He will make goodness. That is why he smiles. 

Okay I'll stop my rambling. haha! Thank you for your lovely comment. It actually made me stop and think deeper about why I made that design decision.

I appreciate your thoughts on it. Sure, I can always make my own guesses as to why you made your choices, but it's always best to hear the artist explain his or her thoughts on the matter, you know? And I love what you had to say. : ) Thanks for sharing!
