My work for Dragon Age Zine. Favorite character from Dragon Age: Origins :3

I painted Sten for @dragonageannual ‘s zine SAGAS!

i saw sten in the veilguard artbook and got highly inspired.

there is something to be said about the fact that sten invites the warden with him to par vollen when the warden leaving right after the blight would be a neglection of their duties– and duty is something sten holds very sacred. the warden's job is not done at the end of the blight, especially if alistair was killed or made king. someone has to rebuild the wardens and deal with the lingering darkspawn. and still, sten offers the warden a way out. a way to relieve themself of that duty and choose a new path, which is something he previously was pretty adamantly against.

just. thinking about him.
