Dunmer - Blog Posts

26.02.2019  Even my Nerevarine changed a lot (became an orc for instance lol), I still like this thing. And still love my dumbass baby Julan <3 

i personally love how fucking Weird elder scrolls elves have the potential to be. i love how they aren’t conveniently “beautiful” and when people exaggerate specific features that emphasize the Weird (pointy ass ears + super angular features) it makes my heart happy. might as well add tails to them too and make them super lanky and just awful little beings. i love them

Click the heart if he deserves a hug. No heart - he's left unhugged 🥺

A little attention-starved mer 🥺

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".

And another random dunmer!

A dunmer in these trying times

another artfight piece complete :3

I love assassins that love some quiet reading in their downtime

Returning with a birthday gift for @sherron-makaron007 with her J'Zargo design

and some personal news under the cut

Sorry for being inactive, it will happen again 😔

Aside from the geopolitical situation affecting my job (among other things), I have decided to take some visual development courses to hopefully improve my art. The summer is going to be very busy.

But even if I don't have enough energy or time to interact, it doesn't mean I forgot about you all 🫶🫶

Thanks and a very good day to everyone who will read it!

In other words: Dram would rather talk about himself than Nahfahlaar (or almost anyone else in the world)

The plans have changed, but only a little

Here's his new introduction, including Prisoner himself (aka the man who saved Cyrus from the only death he couldn't escape)

Hope I'm not annoying you with all the asks but what's your favorite thing to draw for Dram? I've been trying to get his colors to work well in my style and I've loved having the struggle! -Mellowscrolls

Don't worry, it's impossible to annoy me by talking about him :D or anything tes-related, really

Since picking colors is always a hard battle for me (and I have great respect for anyone who can enjoy this process) I think I really like his shapes (as seen here ↓)

Especially his big big eyes on the in-game model

Here's an example of how I tried to transfer them and his upturned (CUTE) ears to my style

Of course I understand the appeal of characters who never show up without their masks, but, hey, sometimes I need to see him eat some nice sweet roll or get kissed on the cheek :^) and, besides, it was a concept for this doll! The head is 3D-printed

Some Dunmer men including Irarver Sadoia from Rutt's backstory, Avisi Indarys (the latest on Cheydinhal's Indarys family at least on my own canon and of course a Knight of the Thorns (but he also calls himself a 'Mageknight of the Thorns' like an idiot), and Dram but this is not /the/ Dram from Redguard but rather I found some out of game text (though it's also probably not canon but I like the idea of it) that the Morag Tong has clones of him and the one in the poc is my take on a 4th Era simulacrum of him (I keep accidental making his belt black instead of brown unintentionally 😭)

may i join you in dram land

WAHAHAHA WELCOME WELCOME. Have our national meme

DRAM. IS SO CUTE I JUST PLAYED REDGUARD FOR THE FIRST TIME AND OMG

Yesss (I think he sometimes uses his weapons as little mirrors)

Retro post! Have some sketches of a dying OC around some pretty mer

Plus happy Endus and cursed chibi Tureynul to balance the sad vibes out

Aaand this thing vaguely resembling Araynys because I don't know where else to put it

What are some of your pastimes? Do you have any hobbies you still practice common from Morrowind?

While Dram is looking for secret passages, I'm looking for a better way to draw... Don't mind the constant changes in his outfit and my brushes

Just have one more "classic" post before I finish with my little rebranding

And then this scene happens

We'll discuss my brief disappearance later, for now have this holiday-themed mini comic for the sake of mood

Ordered for a special reconnaissance mission from Tiber Septim himself; Dram tries to adjust to Morrowind's blistering summer heat, as well as its fashion as he blends in with the locals! >:3

So I have no idea why, but for some reason I suddenly had no idea how to shade, or color?? XDD so it looks pretty awful to me, I feel like its just as bad as that Teldryn Sero picture I made earlier this year!

Still, I worked hard on it and I tried a few new things, and anything I try that's new, even if I think it looks awful I'm going to post! Progress and all that :p It was fun drawing Dram!

Is there a fanfiction of your Dunmer oc that I can read? Or is it just the comic entries that are spaced apart on your page?

Cryinggggggg and kicking my legs in the air

It's such a flattering question, honestly :"" I am very happy that my art has caught your attention in this way!!!

Now I'll try to pull myself together and give you the proper answer:

... So, I'm very insecure with writing for some reason (never know where to finish) and because of that the entire story of this OC is just some ideas in my head I usually share in DMs with anyone who's interested. If you want, I'll gladly tell everything you wish to know in this way. Or I'll just start posting about her on this blog if I stop being so socially scared... Or do some big epic illustrations for these texts (both of which is kind of unlikely 😭)

But for now, have some very rough sketches and facts for the mood:

She had an Argonian bestie when she was a kid at Chorrol but sadly that girl's dad was VERY traumatised by decades spent as a House Dres slave. And Colo-Nordic society she was surrounded with wasn't much kinder to her race.

Fortunately, one day she stumbled upon another Dunmer who didn't deserve all that hatred. He was a friend of that amazing Emperor who had saved her city from the invaders when she was ten years old, so he couldn't be bad like those violent Dunmer who ruined their race's reputation!

(also that dumbass made herself an ordinator scarf for the first date thinking it will make Dram nostalgic. It made him remember how those ordinators killed and almost tortured him 😭 (yeah, exactly in that order))

Some more random sketches

And bonus one with current Morag Tong grandmaster doing Dram's hair before sending him to execute his last(?) writ

Today is The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard release day!

⠀⠀The game came with a Pocket Guide to the Empire that confirmed the most iconic elements of TES lore, as well as the only official comic book, the cover of which I decided to redraw with the first full-fledged dunmer of the series (sorry, dark elves from the previous games, you didn't have cool pet bugs and ash masks).

Special thanks to @mway1 for the flag

Drawing some bullshit

Dram by himself

He was fun to draw. and Josh because why not?

Just fucking around with an armour concept.

Dram and his simulacrum by Gray Hamster! (Instagram, VK)

Actually, there's two of them, because I found someone who's as crazy about him as I am 💚 life is good

Character belongs to @inkagna (I believe you have an art blog here, but I lost it's username 😭 So sorry!)

Happy Daggerfall release anniversary!

I love it, but I'm glad the orcs stopped throwing children into the deepest dungeon pits in later games.

@ijiwaruuma I just..uh I.. well hm

Finally, a follow-up

The frames don't fit the text, because she was actually singing this nursery rhyme (volume warning, the sound starts abruptly). It just fits her original voice acting so well.
