1) Describe one creative WIP project you’re planning to work on over the summer.
Re-drawing Skyrim's alchemy ingredients :D Original work is for me cooler to look on, but there's something really contemplative in redrawing things that already exist in a decorative style.
2) Rec a book!
"Unconditional Parenting" by Alfie Kohn is the book that changed my life. I love books on upbringing, the moments you realize how much how you act and think is based on your upbringing. The realizing that your weaknesses might be by and large a result of your environment. This one not only points out a flaws of many parenting styles but offers an approach based on unconditional love and understanding. I think I cried while reading this. (and it's an international bestseller :)
As a Dunmer-kid-loving individual, this is one of my most fav books of all the time.
3) Rec a fic!
It's been eons since I've read a fic, sorry /:
4) Rec Music!
I got back to black metal after my friend sent me the latest album of American band Liturgy "93696". It's an experimental masterpiece with angelic choirs, divine synths and spectacular guitars. I'm in love :0
5)Share one piece of advice!
Care about your health first, stick to your healthy habits even if it makes you temporarily less productive - don't wait until you collapse. Don't skip those little self-care (do not confuse with indulgence) rituals like making a calming tea before bed or stretching to keep yourself fit if there's nothing urgent.

15 Questions for 15 Tagged by @the-sunlit-earth! <3 Tagging @totally-not-deacon @deimsssssss @theguartist @silusvesuius and the rest is probably tagged already by @the-sunlit-earth already lol --no pressure, feel free to ignore!
are you named after anyone? I wish my name was after someone interesting - not after some actress I don't care abt - but it isn't.
when was the last time you cried? A week ago or so.
do you have kids? No, but one day I wish to have some little devils with a handsome Telvanni wizard :3
do you use sarcasm a lot? I don't think so.
what sports do you play/have you played? I love dancing, it's the only sport I can focus on since I listen to the music simultaneously… and you can get very artistic there.
what's the first thing you notice about other people? Wheter they are weiro nerdy gremlins or not.
eye color? Pale green.
scary movies or happy endings? I watch mostly kid's animations so ig my fav movies mostly end happily.
any special talents? I am good at Math and making presentations. When I get interested in some school subject I can get really into depth on how things work and create detailed notes that I sometimes post online. It's a double-edged sword tho, I have a hard time passing subjects that I don't find interesting.
where were you born? Im Norden von Polen.
what are your hobbies? Recently it's mostly eating and caring for my mental health lol. But apart form that - drawing obviously (a fragment of my personal project below), reading popular science books, psychology, health etc. Recenlty I got back to exploring music and listening to the whole albums, especially the metal ones (check out the band Liturgy and their latest albums, they are masterpieces). I'm also into housewife stuff like preparing food and shopping for long flowery dresses and fantasizing abt having a Dunmer family one day
do you have any pets? No, but he college mascot cat gets most of his daily share of pets from me :3
how tall are you? 161 cm Average Girl Size tm
fave subject in school? English (not my mother tongue) and Math and currently the thing I study - Computer Science (unless the projects are stressully hard ;-;)
dream job? I LOVE universities, I could grab a tent and set up there and never leave if I could, you can find some awesome friendly nerdy ppl in there. I recenlty like making reports so maybe a scientist? I also love reading abt education and how to improve it, abt student-teacher relationships and ig it would feel wonderful to be that rare powerful Teacher That Could Actually Teach. So maybe I would like to be a theacher/lecturer? Idk, for now my biggest dream for the future is to pass this semester, the workload is insane in my course QAQ
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.

...YES, I'VE MADE A VISUAL NOVEL!!! 😂
Created this abomination a few months ago, maybe someone out there will enjoy it.
The adventure is settled in TES universum, yet has a strong Witcher-y feel to it (my second favourite fandom 😁). I've probably drifted a little off-canon in favour of storytelling. Prior acquaintance with ANY lore is unnecessary, though.
The game has several endings, and not all the choices are obvious at the first glance.
Making visual novels is a drudgery - but also so much fun! I have a few more ideas up my sleeve, but first I gotta see what would be the market for that, heh.
Feedback would be much appreciated (:
I got the idea for this game from one metal song, wonder if someone could guess which. 🤟

Hi, I saw your post with your rat photo studies and they're so gorgeous I wanted to find out if you have a shop or anything.
No, I don't unfortunately ): Might set up one in the future but for the nearest 2 months I'm swamped with college assignments so I won't (I don't study art). I appreciate you telling me that though :)
Hewwo, I just wanna tell you this:
REQUESTS OPEN
read: "I have a crisis and I don't know what to draw."
NOTES:
those are requests, not paid commisions, I don't guarantee that you'll get what you've paid for
I'm swamped with college assignments so I won't post regularly
I imagine they are on vacations in White Orchard.

I won't be posting much now bc I'm learning how to use more than 3 brushes in one drawing lololol.
Have this sample for now :3
This journey will be long and tedious...
Omg thanks for sharing this answer. I was so in awe of your crazy use of color, gave those drawings of elves a really expressionistic / otherwordly (or psychodelic? I guess) feel and I often found myself scrolling the older drawings on your blog :3
You just reminded me that I used to rely on like 10 classical drawings + photos to pick my color palette for my older "wizard in an armchair" drawings, now I got used to skipping this part unfortunately lol. This post gave me so much color inspiration again, thank you <3
im in love with the way you colour so so muchhh😭 do yew have some sort of method or just wing it?
thank you! 🧡 well, honestly, i don't think im on the level of being able to just very easily wing it; guess im close but there's some work to be done for me to be fully satisfied w the way i color . however i do have a few methods lul obviously the basic knowledge of color theory helps .. color wheel/triangle , opposite colors and alldat. try to keep those things in mind (the superiority of green-red / blue-orange / yellow-purple etc) if u wanna learn to use colors well i think that using limited palettes always helps ; PRO tip from me is to use the ever living fack of the web colors palette from krita im obsessed w it .
here r some palettes picked from my art. i recently have started to try and keep the colors limited to some degree and not go ham on the amount of shades i have in one drawing
this is showing calmer drawings & brighter ones (ones that ‘stand out’ more) but its all about what kinda ‘mood’ you wanna show in the art u make ...and lol ....... another fun thing u can try and do is colorpick older/classical paintings if the colors stand out to you. i have a few palettes that i just colorpicked from older art that stood out to me w the shades but i cannot for the life of me remember what paintings i looked at LMFAO; so have this as an example
Do you think that a reading campaign posters would be more successfull if they featured cute baby Telvanni wizards?🥺

I have a theory that Talvas must have had really strict parents that would give him love on the condition he performed well.
Growing in such a family he became demanding towards himself in the later life. Only someone who never knew a warm place in the childhood would consider that living in Tel Mithryn is "not bad".
You may like baby Yoda or even baby Rick but I prefer baby Neloth :3
Well, not rly so baby.
I do love speculating what kind of kind of environment and ppl could have created such an ideal a jerk.
I believe that his mother was a renegade cave necromancer on Vvardenfell, maybe of an Ashlander origin. She was probably so disagreeable that she dumped his father and brought up her son on her own. She flooded her son with admiration and managed to pass down her ambitions onto her child. Growing with no father figure, there was no one in his early childhood to burst the bubble of Neloth's self-absorbed delusions... that's how Neloth became Neloth :3
Do you have any theories about the Neloth's past yourself?
