Trying my hand at turning some of my fic scenes into comic panels. This is the beginning of chapter two of “As the Crow Flies” (which…hasn’t been posted yet as of me sharing this).

I feel like I hit my stride halfway through making this, but overall I’m actually pretty stoked! I shy away from backgrounds so often. I’m forcibly conquering my fear.

I don't draw him enough

I don't draw him enough

collection of adorable people in skyrim

the real ship I'm inventing is Carlotta/Ysolda. LISTEN. They run their businesses together. Ysolda is a good step mom to Mila. They cook together at the inn and at home. They spent time with the Caravans and learn new recipes. Ri'saad tries to do a whole "I Am A Father Figure" thing to Carlotta but as a mother she is already able to go "lol try it fucker ^^" and he thinks that's great. Mikael dies.

One of my (so many) current WIPs!

Saw the Joker image and immediately thought of Sotha Sil, so, after drawing him I had to draw the rest lol (I'm still figuring out Ayem and Voryn)

I'm pretty proud of how Vivec is turning out actually

Even if it was for one year in fifth grade <3

Teldryn in Solstheim: I'm so ready to go to Skyrim

Teldryn anywhere in Skyrim: this place fucking sucks

More vampire Neloth 🖤 Back by popular demand.

For artist asks: 5, 16, 19.

Thank you for asking! I'm trying to interact more with the people in this hell site but I don't have the heart to do so, so this helps a lot ❣️😂

5- What's your favourite thing to draw?

I love drawing comics/comic panels, but I don't usually post them because they are very stupid. In fact, I've got one that I MIGHT post, but no promises.

I also love drawing labeled scientific images, but I only do so for my career notes.

16- Do you draw more than you did in the past, or do you draw less?

I do draw more now, definitely.

In the past I used to draw a lot, but inconsistently because I was still learning (and no videogames included, so boring drawings too 😂). Now that I mainly draw fanart I do bigger things/things that require more effort and hours to complete.

Now drawing has become my main hobby.

19- What's the most difficult thing for you to draw?

Feet. How do they work and why do they always look broken no matter what I do? We'll never know!

That and expressions, but I'm getting somewhere better than before.

your hc of neloth’s piercings + views on tattoos/war paint?

curious on where the line is with him when it comes to beauty/adornment/appearance

Taking this as an opportunity to draw Neloth's jewelry.

I think as a Telvanni Neloth would naturally be drawn towards self-adornment. Their idea of status and power relied on a lot on displaying personal wealth, and I think that translates into dressing pretty elaborately and wearing lots of jewelry. (I know we only have polygons to go by in Morrowind, but even Neloth has the gaudiest robes I ever seen and an earful of earrings in that game).

As far as tattoos, I can't imagine he has much of an opinion. I don't see him having any himself. I do headcanon them to be pretty common in Morrowind, especially in formal organizations like the Morag tong, but then also in more lawless gangs like the Camonna Tong. (Two very different kinds of tattoo cultures).

In my fic, at least, Neloth only ever really comments on Teldryn's tattoos to try to get a rise out of him. I don't think he finds them attractive or unattractive. Just part of who Teldryn is.

As for war paint, I can hear him in the back of my head making snide comments about smearing one's self with mud making absolutely no difference in battle.

Heat Intolerance

This disability pride month I'd like to talk about heat intolerance. Because honestly although it's not the first health issue that presented symptoms in my life. It was the first time I was like "I don't think my body works right".

And honestly given disability pride month is during one of the hottest months in the year. It seems fitting. Especially because there's a lot of disabilities and medications that cause it.

What is heat intolerance?

Simply speaking it's the inability for the body to regulate it's temperatures especially in hot settings to cool itself down.

Why is awareness important?

Because gaslighting people or worse not providing them a place to cool down just because you "feel fine" is extremely fucking dangerous.

What are the medicines that can cause heat intolerance?

Antihistamines (Allergy medications) . Decongestants (Sudafed or any medication that has the D at the end of it). Stimulants (ADHD medications. Steroids. Caffeine.) Beta-blockers (blood pressure medications). Overactive bladder treatment. Psychiatric medications (including but not limited to medications for depression and anxiety). Pain relievers. Antibiotics.

What medical conditions can cause heat intolerance?

EDS (Elhers-Danlos syndrome). Autism. ADHD. Migraines. Brain/spinal-cord injury. Sensory processing disorder. Chronic fatigue syndrome. Endocrin problems. POTS. Menopause. Hypothyroidism. Diabetes. Heart Disease. Multiple sclerosis. Obesity. Mental health disorders.

What should I do if I suspect I have heat intolerance?

Reduce time outside during hot months. Keep your electrolytes up. Drink plenty of water. Stay out of the sun whenever possible if outside. Be aware of the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Clothes that are best worn for heat intolerance. Loose lightweight breathable fabrics. Natural fibers. Long sleeves that protect from sunburn as sunburns will increase your risk. Light clothes that reflect light. Wide brimmed hats that shade the face and neck.

Cool. So what are those symptoms I'm supposed you be looking for?

Headaches. Excessive fatigue. Mood changes. Muscle cramping or weakness. Nausea/ vomiting. Rapid heartbeat. Excessive sweating or not sweating at all.

When should I do to the doctor?

If you suspect you have heat intolerance you can go to your PCP to discuss what medications you may be on and what you can do about it. Otherwise, please go to the emergency room if you have symptoms of heat stroke.

This is good information and all but why are you making this post?

To raise awareness. Not just for the people that have it but weren't aware of what it was called. But for all of the idiots that tried to gaslight me when I was in school because I was like "I don't think this is normal. Every time we do our mile run outside I vomit all over the place but other kids aren't doing that."

Also because people always blame me for over heating if I wear long sleeves or pants. I always like to take notes from what people in the middle east wear because they literally live in the excessive heat and spend long hours in the excessive heat. Often in clothing that covers most of their body. They've gotta know what they're doing, right?

I have some type of xenophobic comment about why people from the middle east cover up

Shut the fuck up 😊

NPC Sketch requests from discord!

Aicantar, Talvas, Isran, Savos, and…. A far too sexy Athis.

Redesigned his tattoos to reflect his updated lore :]

(I would like to thank @thana-topsy for generously sharing with me the tattoo design I drew for the last 2 years that also inspired this set!)

I love your Mephala! I wanna give her a wittle kissie on her forehead and tell her she’s the best Daedric prince ever

you may KISS her forehead

ONCE ☝️

One thing that bothers me about the Elder Scrolls community on Tumblr is their tendency to want to get rid of all the evil lore and characters in the game.

There’s plenty of evil lore like Aylied and Dunmer slavery, the creation of vampires, Pelinal’s genocide, racism against refugees, etc. Plus characters like Arondil, Naris, and Harkon.

The immediate response of a lot of TES fans on Tumblr is that this lore is bad and should be retconned or that the developers are bad for including it.

But if you remove all traces of evil and cruelty from the games, then who is left for a good character to kill and hate? The game would become a psychopath simulator where the only people left to kill are all innocent.

We need evil characters so that wet have people who are satisfying to fight and kill. Without evil characters, good characters would be destined to fight wolves and crabs forever.

We need more evil characters- not less! The more evil characters there are in the game = the more moral the player can be and the more justified our kills are.

Remember to use ReShade instead of ENB

I'm finally on vacation and I really wanted to make my contribution to @orfeoarte 's dtiys! So here it is!

The Neloth Post Nobody Asked For but now I'm making it everyone's problem

I guess I'll start out by saying: all of this pertains to my very specific version of Neloth who can be found alive and well (for now) in my fic series "Legends Never Die". It's a big wide fandom, I do not claim to be an authority on Anything, and I think everyone's little pocket universes and OC-ification of NPCs are all equally valid. These are just some of the ways I write and characterize him. So if you have any Neloth headcannons of your own, please sound off!

The Basics:

I estimate this old crusty bastard is in his 700s, or thereabouts, probably on the later end. He stopped counting at a certain point and can't be arsed to keep a talley. There are more important things that occupy his brainspace. He maintains his spry and youthful visage [cough] through his rigorous magical practices, (and his not-so-subtle interest in necromancy and discovering the secrets to immortality).

He was exiled decided to retire from the Telvanni Council a good fifty or sixty years before the eruption of Red Mountain, retreating to Solstheim to continue his experiments in seclusion. Due to severing his mainland ties and House loyalties, his power and influence are significantly weakened, though he continues to expand his studies and has a relatively well-functioning settlement of workers, as well as his current apprentice, Talvas Fathryon, under his tutelage.

And of course, the question on everyone's mind: do he fuck? In terms of his sexuality, he's finicky and if I had to slap a label on him, he's definitely in the realm of Aro-Ace, but on the gray side of things (pun intended???). Here, have an Ace Neloth Pride Flag because why not:

Personal Interests, Likes, and Dislikes:

The list of dislikes could probably rival the "color of the sky" post, so let's try to condense that into the main point: he dislikes inefficiency. The definition of what he finds "inefficient" can and does vary greatly, even in his own work. I would say one of his driving motivators is IncreasE Efficiency, above all else.

His likes are few and far between. As it stands, I could probably list three off-hand. He likes well-made tea (preferably dark, bitter, and stimulating), he likes an organized bookshelf, and he likes Teldryn Sero (who is also dark, bitter, and.... stimulating).

Morality:

Huh? What's that? Never heard of it.

I kid (kind of). Neloth has a complicated psychology. I characterize him to have underdeveloped empathy, but he is not entirely devoid of it. I suppose I'll let him explain it, (from chapter 5 of "Breathing Water"):

“I do…” Neloth began, [...] “I do… feel.” He twisted the stiff bedroll between his fingers. “I do.” [...]  “It’s just…” He didn’t know where he was going with this, but the words were clawing their way out of him like some kind of sick, emaciated animal emerging from a cave. “I don’t think I… feel… correctly.” He exhaled sharply, letting his head roll from side to side, neck popping. “I’ve always been this way. It’s not just the result of graying morals from a prolonged life. I’ve always had this,” he gestured to his chest with trembling fingers, “hole. Like something’s missing.” He pulled the bedroll tighter around him, curling in on himself. A small laugh. “It’s been useful, if I’m honest.” 

He does try, at a certain point, to understand this side of himself a little bit better. Though, honey, he's got a big storm coming.

Anyways, that's my Neloth post for now, maybe I'll add more another time. :) Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Oh man, I’d forgotten about this way too sad drawing of Hadvar and Ralof I did several weeks ago. Anyways, here you go. Enjoy Hadvar’s bare chest.

if someones undercharging for commissions dont tell them they could charge more just tip them.. some times we put prices so low so we can draw in a bigger crowd esp if we need money.. if you are happy with your results even an extra 10 or 20% can help a lot and also makes us feel rly good about our art ^_^

So another Teldryn schlock piece because I just can't help myself. Had a new idea about that painted netch leather and had to design it. So officially he wears this weird gridiron netch leather chest piece that he's boredom scribbled on. That and the chitin leather monstrosity! Rat's turned Mad Max Chic so quickly, I didn't even realise it happened.

I love seeing people’s first contact with this game

I got wealth beyond measure, O U T L A N D E R

what (or who) convinced y'all to get into tes?

i think when I was about 15 a family friend showed me skyrim since i was already into fallout, and she was showing me her dunmer assassin with her little house and her wife and I was like 'yea that looks pretty cool, i might try it out sometime'

however as soon as she mentioned there were cat people I immediately went 'OH FUCK I need this game RIGHT NOW' lmao I don't even remember if I knew anything else about the game! the existence of the khajiit was all I needed to know (and that you could be gay)

have you ever looked back at yesterday and thought

what the actual fuck was that
