Description Title 1: To Serve and Protect... because that's what the templars are supposed to do. Right?  

Title 2: Nobody hurts my mage but me! ...a reference to the "alledged" mistreatment of mages perpetrated by the templars.   

Title 3: Dude, are you looking at her boobs? Stop looking at her boobs! ...hahahahaaa... (I'm evil)  

And oh look, she's bleeding cranberry juice! Because my blood drawing skills are awesomely ridiculous. I need to practice more... between puking (seeing blood makes me feel nauseous).  

So, takes place either during the Qunari invasion of Kirkwall (aka "it was all Isabella's fault!") or the mage rebellion after Anders blew up the Chantry. Take your pick. Can be either.
The templar's armour is as close as I could get to the original in DA2 (plus the shield). Couldn't find anywhere a proper templar crest so had to draw that myself too.
The mage's robes are my variation/interpretation of Bethany's starting attire/robes. I really (REALLY) like her clothes in DA2 because instead of running around in a long skirt, she actually wears pants under her short-ish chainmail tunic. Aaaand I didn't draw it like that...  I like drawing long skirts/gowns so this happened. 

Gees, fire is difficult to draw...

Also, this is sort of a therapeutic picture after my massive right shoulder inflammation. While I didn't injure myself, at times the pain was so astoundingly bad that it felt like a Qunari had pierced my right shoulder with a spear...!
Alas, I had no hunky templar to hold me...

Okay, the blood is a little off, but the rest of the picture is fantastic. Well done!

 I actually redid the blood a couple of times because the first version looked like strawberry jam (thick and really bright red), and the second one looked like she was bleeding liquid darkness (way too dark red)... Like I said, need to practice some more, but not too soon though.

Oh and saw the thing about the crest (yours is awesome by the way) but if you want I have .gif and a few .png images of  Templar, Tevinter and so for symbols for DA that someone on the BioWare boards showed me once when I was looking for references a few years ago. I can email them to you if you want them, just PM me your addy.

Wow! You really nailed the Templar design! Love it...the details, the atmosphere, and, of course, the subject. Beautiful!

It was a little over 10 days to make and at times it drove me nuts because I couldn't get the colour or effect I wanted, but managed to muddle through it anyway. No pain no gain, they say, right?

This is great! I love that you've done something totally out of your general niche!

 How's this "out of my general niche"? All I see is pretty clothes and pretty people!    

But, you're right, haven't done anything this action-y in a very long time, if ever. I'm always wiling to try new things, as long as I have inspiration for them.

Well you generally don't do stuff with elements like fire and someone being hurt and well a high action kinda setting in general so

While I love their armour and the original purpose and role in the Dragon Age series, I'm not generally fond of how they turned out to be (overbearing, controlling, and often bluntly violent against mages without any cause). But, that doesn't mean there aren't any decent templars among them - Cullen, for example.
