Description Possible spoilers for Dragon Age: Inquisition (Trespasser DLC in particular).

Those fans of the Elder Scrolls who have also played Dragon Age: Inquisition would probably compare Solas and his cult to the Thalmor, what with their desire to destroy the world as we know it, so that elves can return to their former glory. However, I personally could barely sit still with excitement during that whole the-gods-were-actually-powerful-mage-generals-who-elevated-themselves-in-status-after-a-war-and-started-demanding-worship explanation. And if the Inquisitor drinks from the Well of Sorrows, becoming bound to Mythal (who these false gods turned against and killed!), this makes even more sense! So, there you have it: Solas as Dagoth Ur, the main villain in the Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind game, who also had a beef against a gang of self-proclaimed gods who supposedly killed his old buddy.

The symbols behind Solas spell out his new catchphrase, 'I suspect you have questions', in Daedric writing from the Elder Scrolls universe.

I love this crossover! (Same penchant for screwing everything up, lmao). Love the thought you put into the Daedric script in the background. You've perfectly captured Solas' likeness. Ahhh, the creases, tendons and nail details on the hands... *squeals* deeply flawed characters + dark elves are my weakness. the whole concept is fantastic and has so much potential!

Ooooooh my goodness!! This is sooo beautiful!! What an awesome crossover! I'm sure it fits absolutely perfectly- but don't mind me if I try my best to forget what I just read in the description. (I'm dodging spoilers right and left these days, but they're like heat-seeking arrows! Haha) 

Your Solas is perfect!! What a beautiful face! And those glowing eyes! Don't he look fine in grey skin too! Man....I totally thought of Vivec right when I saw him! I doubt Dagoth Harel would approve too much of that though... The mask looks amazing too, beautifully painted, the shiny rich gold against his slate skin. And those scary daedric letters in the background finish the composition perfectly! Lol, niiice catchphrase buddy....I'd say maybe there might be a few questions raised by...hmmm, let's start with your disappearance.

 Way to go at making a likeness portrait! You did a pristine job, and Solas' face isn't an easy one. That bald head would be easy to distort, and his delicate nose and facial structure too- but you drew them exactly! You should be very proud of this!!

Eeee, thank you kindly for your amazing comment! I hope that by the time you learn everything there is to learn about Trespasser, you will think back to this drawing, and get hit by the same realization as I was!
And boy, was I thrilled to read your positive feedback on every aspect of the drawing, from the background to colour choice to the actual portrayal of Solas! Thank you soooo much! This made me feel all warm and fuzzy!

Haha, nice job with the entire portrayal of things as they happen there with the same things we Morrowind players see happen as well!
