Burning Bridges

Dragon Age: Origins fan art. Astoreth Amell, the human female mage (non-standard name) and heroine of my DAO fan fiction (first part: [link]) has permanently put the Circle of Magi behind her. I've done pictures of her before; this is the first one that's actually been properly inked and everything. And I thought I should mix it up with my shading a little. This time the light is coming from the back! OMG the novelty. For me, anyway.

Care to see the sketch? No, I didn't think so.

Eternal thanks to *redheadstock, whose tutorial on creating convincing fire I've used, along with her fire patterns and brushes ([link]); to ~FluidConsciousness for the suggestions on what I might put in the background (it's there, look!); and finally to =Draggeta for putting up with my crap and always looking at my progress whenever I asked. Thanks!
