So I've been begging the almighty =Draggeta to show me how SAI works, and he had me choose something unpolished for fancy line art. I chose this piece of shi... I mean, this: It was my very first Photoshop attempt. More of a spur of the moment thing, but once started, I had to finish it. If you feel so inclined, please compare the two. This one's way better. No doubt about it.

Now that we have that out of the way... This is Astoreth Amell, my Dragon Age: Origins fan fiction heroine. If those robes are unfamiliar to you, that might be because they're not actually in the game. The original version was slightly different: there was a hood, and she was wearing a necklace. They weren't much to look at. The gradient background is replaced with a screenshot of Redcliffe, enhanced/messed up by a few PS filters. The shrug is also decidedly fuzzier, thanks to the wonderful =Draggeta , who used a similar method for his rendition of Anders. Makes you want to check it out, doesn't it? Go, do it. In fact, check out his entire gallery. For every piece he has, I may have five or so, but every one of his pieces is worth one hundred of mine. Yes, it's that unfair.

My eternal thanks go out to the following deviants:

for explaining PaintTool SAI to me and being enthusiastic about my work.
for the eyelashes brush, the lace brush and the vector foliage brushes. You can find them here respectively: [link] / [link] / [link]
for the faaabulous corners. If you want them: [link]
