The 'past' card shows 3 crow assassins with red blades, at night, at the top is Taliesin, middle is Zevran and below Rinna. Only Zevran's face is drawn with detail. They each have chains at their wrists, to reference they are slaves to the crows, a pale crow mask and Zevran is the only one not bloodied, to hint at the violent fate his partners each met by his hand. Zevran is also the only one with a white halo, whereas the other two have a red halo, more faded. Crow feathers are hidden in their capes, both darker than Zevran's. He has a brooch with peacock feathers, showing his arrogance and pride at the time. The background shows an antivan city and Thedas' two moons.
I have paid special attention to textures and patterns to emulate the popular Inquisition tarot card style.

The 'present' right card shows Zevran fighting the blight alongside the warden, with the horde reaching hands at the bottom and the archdemon maw at the top looming threateningly over the warden ; the background shows denerim and kirkwall to retrace his in-game appearances ; there are red daggers pointing at him to show he is still chased by the crows and white dagger pointing outward to symbolize his impact on the world during in-game event. His face looks confident, and the blade he hold is white this time, he is wearing his single gold earring signifying he is in a relationship with the warden.

He is tossing a coin to symbolize his luck in life and a white winged dagger. The pattern on his trousers is meant to evoke feathers.
