Screw elves for now, I'm gonna draw pastel rodents :3

MCR has released a new album and it's called The Coffin of Andy and Leyley [a few versions of the cover art below]

two edgy things combined into one for an extra edge >:3c

A drawing of a Russian Roma :]] based on a photo I found on Pinterest

Paranoia, paranoia...

Imaginary foes and dangers, quite often conviction about self-importance, fight-or-flight mode flared up to the extreme and feeling an urge to do irrational things... like avoiding mirrors or windows.

Ildari's an underrated character.

I hope you all take care of yourself and drink enough water.

I wish all of you a nice day :)

Reblogging because I've added a note (it's this with one " * ") that mushrooms are not the best source of protein irl. Should have added it earlier, now I feel bad for spreading misinformation ):

I'm sorry.

Eat a lot of legumes and take care <3

I know that nobody asked, but here's some Telvanni lore for all the foodies.

Before you begin this culinary journey, check out this post about ash yams it's essential.

Telvanni Cuisine

It’s obvious that Telvanni have an extensive knowledge of fungi.  After all, they live in huge mushrooms and collect and plant numerous species from all across the Tamriel to use them in their potions. It goes without saying that their cuisine is also quite fungal. The commonfolk at Telvanni settlements as most of the Dunmer source their protein both from fungi* and insect meat. But Telvanni nobles love nurturing peculiar worldviews and traditions that differentiate them from other races - or even other Dunmer. One of them is their distaste for anything that doesn’t grow in soil. They frown upon hunter traditions of Ashlanders and stock-raising of house Redoran and regard them as “primitive” in contrast to the delicate art of growing fungi. The alchemy ingredients are an obvious exception from this rule, but in general as their occupations don’t usually include menial work, their light and low-calorie cuisine perfectly matches their lifestyle. This resulted in traditional cuisine of the nobility being solely plant-, or more specifically, mushroom-based**, that contrasts sharply with the cuisine of Skyrim that is rich in venison and other animal-based foods***. Noble Telvanni shun debilitating ingredients such as alcohol and moon sugar in their everyday cuisine, as keeping their minds sharp is their main priority. In order to get an indulgent sweet taste marshmerrow is used instead. Telvanni rarely import vast quantities of vegetables from other provinces as house Hlaalu does. They use commonly grown foods like saltrice, ash yams or mushrooms as the base ingredients of the dishes. In some aspects they prefer to stick to the Dunmer traditions. The nobles, though, indulge themselves in expensive imported berries - not only because of their magic-enhancing abilities but also because of their extravagant taste. As the Telvanni ranks feature numerous alchemists the import of alchemical ingredients is obviously very common. Telvanni chefs gradually incorporated some of the exotic spices into traditional cuisine. Especially valued are the most characterful of them that fancy up the bland taste of mushrooms, such as juniper, ginseng or garlic****. * In real life mushrooms are a rather poor source of protein compared to legumes like beans and lentil. But since there are no legumes in TES universe (at least as far as I know) let's suppose there are some protein-rich mushrooms Telvanni can plant. ** It’s also worth mentioning that I’m a Telvanni-fixated vegan ass myself so that’s a more probable reason why I made my beloved house also vegan xD *** A lovely example of that contrast you can encounter in @thana-topsy ‘s fanfic “Breathing Water”. This would nicely explain Neloth’s preference for apple cabbage stew. **** This recipe for example resembles Telvanni cuisine, it was one of the inspirations from my imaginary dishes above.

Above I’ve come up with some examples of what noble Telvanni would eat on a daily basis.

Thanks for reading that and take care :3

Every master Telvanni wizard has to have a doormat to push around a steward take care of their business while they do all the fun stuff the research.

Plz give me some feedback on her facial features - I'm in two minds abt her. On the one hand I feel like she's got very Oblivion Bosmer features, on the other she might look like a wrinkled baby with a sour grimace so that no one ever would empathize with her.

Hi friend!!!

Do you take commissions or Art trades? I love your art style so much :))

I promised myself not to feel pressured to draw unitl I'm done with my exam session at the end of June (and yet I procrastinate by drawing, heh). But if you don't mind the waiting - then sure :)

Would you like to draw Runil (Skyrim) for me? Or Calcelmo if you prefer 🙂

Sad old brooding elf on cemetery.

I need a whole black/gothic/fantasy metal album with that cover art.
