Dragon Age: Inquisition--Leisel Lavellan

"The Strength Tarot card represents represents inner strength and the power of the human spirit to overcome any obstacle … knowing that you can endure life’s obstacles by drawing upon your inner strength and confidence. You have great stamina and persistence, tempered by an underlying patience and inner calm…

The qualities of Strength Tarot card are already in you, waiting to appear once you have mastered all your raw, foundational emotions and when you are ready to move on to the spiritual tasks that lie ahead. Its main lesson is that emotions must be transcended if spiritual wisdom and intuition are to be awakened. Your inner voice is often drowned out by the constant noise of emotion and preoccupation with fear. Only once you have eliminated these raw emotions can you begin to create the silence you need.

So conquer your fears, control your impulses, and never lose patience with yourself or what you are doing. Eventually you will see the wisdom of letting go of your lower self. The Strength archetype teaches you that you have the strength to tame the beasts within yourself.”

Since tarot cards are one of the major artistic influences in the upcoming Dragon Age: Inquisition, a lot of people are making their own tarot cards for their Inquisitors. Of course, I had to jump on the bandwagon eventually.

I chose the "Strength" major arcana card for Leisel Lavellan. (Disclaimer on why she doesn't have vallaslin--I'm just avoiding it for now until I know what I'm going to pick for her in-game. Might even go back and fix it once I make her character and know for certain.)

I had tONs of fun trying to mimic the flatter textured style that's being used in these tarot cards, as well as incorporating the "Strength" imagery as well as DA:I stuff in the picture.
