And while I'm at it, I translated the totally-well-written-and-not-purple-proseish intro that I wrote for the lulz some time ago (it's more purple prose-y in the original language, but meh, good enough)
(I know it isn't a drawing, but I won't make a thread just for this... yet)

Candles gleamed weakly in the chapel, their flames reflecting off the many effigies of the God Emperor decorating the alcoves. It was an immense room, of stone, steel and glass, the last of these all representing all the glory of His Divine Imperial Majesty and His daughters' fights.
Even at this time, in the middle of the night, as the only light came from the handful of candles that were still lit, only a heretic wouldn't feel insignificant and yet filled with fervor in such a room. And indeed, it was this that the novice Lilium felt as her bare feet treaded on the ground of this holy dwelling.
Of course, her admiration was tinted with guilt, as per the orders of the Mother-Superior, she was supposed to stay in her room and rest from the long journey that had brought her to this convent.
Holding her fleur-de-lys thightly, she silently stepped forward in the alley formed by the many prayer bench. She knew she wasn't supposed to be in this holy place, yet her feet still brought her forward, until she found herself kneeling in front of the colossal statue of the God Emperor that was dominating the whole chapel.
She began to pray in a low voice, the Holy Words rising from her mouth without hesitation, as all the uncountable other time she had recited them.
"A spiritu dominatus,
Domine, libra nos,
From the lighting and the tempest,
Our Emperor, deliver us.
From plague, temptation and war,
Our Emperor, deliv-"
However, this time, her voice shut up suddenly as she heard a movement from one of the alcoves a few meters away from her. Stepping out of the shadows, her silhouette illuminated by the candles' flames, a feminine figure stepped slowly, until her face was lighted by the golden reflection of the immense statue.
Her piercing eyes were framed by ebony hair cut short and, faintly visible, a thin, faded scar went down her right cheek. In the sieved atmosphere of the chapel, whose light was tinted gold, this woman looked like a Saint in Lilium's eyes.
Indeed, who else than a Saint would wear the insigna of a Celestian around her neck, next to her rosary?
"What are you doing here at this late hour, novice? Weren't you told to stay in your room?"
Her voice was harsh yet mellow, and the aspiring Sororita lost her breath, so elated was she that a person of such station would deign talk to her. However she recovered quickly, as not answering her would be unthinkable, sheer heresy. As she hurried to answer, her words stumbled over each other, so zealous was she in her want to explain.
"For-forgive me, sister. I know I shouldn't be here, yet… yet..."
As fast as the had started to come out, Lilium's words soon dried up. Tears of shame beaded over her eyes as she sought the courage to explain the reason of her presence. Then, in a suden movement of her head, she straightened up, her tears leaving a wake in her movement, as she exclaimed out loud.
"... yet I had to pray the Emperor here! His glory, his love… the flames of my faith stopped me from sleeping!"
A small smile appeared upon the Celestian's lips as she moved forward a few steps to stand next to Lilium before she kneeled.
"Well, what are you waiting for, sister. Pray with me."
"Y… Yes!"
And thus did the novice and the Celestian met for the first time and prayed, sharing in their faith…
Under the gaze of the Emperor

And there you have it. I think I covered all the cliches and over the top-ness possible in such a scene, but I'm always open to critique so I can add more =P
