Description Unimaginative title, I know.

I saw a stock picture here: [link] which screamed Zevran at me, so I just had to draw it. I've been working on this for a week or two now, maybe longer because I had to re-do the hair a few times (I always find hair the hardest thing to do, it just never looks right). The armour is loosely based off of the Felon's Coat. Sword and gloves are completely improvised.

Full view – or better yet, download – to take in all the detail, there's a fair bit of it.

Zevran belongs to Dragon Age and Bioware, naturally.

This is so well done, you're improving so quickly!

Thank you They take a long time to complete, but with each picture it feels like I'm getting better at realism. Practise really does make perfect, I guess.

I love how you did the gloves. There is so much detail to them. Maybe it's just me but his lips seem a little small to me. Otherwise I think you nailed it
*is huge Zevran and Alistiar fangirl*

Hey, thanks, glad you like the gloves. The lips did bother me while I was painting it, but bear in mind they're partially hidden by his hand.

That's true, but they're still a tiny bit small.

I have no idea who Zevran is (having barely played Dragon Age at all), but I do love the light and shadowing effects and as always you have a marvellous grasp of anatomy!

Zevran is a flamboyant and incessantly flirty assassin who ends up swearing loyalty to you. I believe he was inspired by Puss in Boots from Shrek, which gives you a pretty good idea as to what he's like (same voice too).
Ooh, but you should play, even if you're not that into fantasy stuff (you're more sci-fi, I know). The character interation and the fact that you can choose to be seriously evil if you want to be makes the game.
And also, thank you

You're right, the pose is so very Zevran! I like the colors too.

Green just suits Zevran. Granted, any colour suits Zevran, but especially greens and warm, earthy hues (sorry, sound like an interior designer there).
