The random citizens of Morthal fantasizing about how life in Solitude would look like.
It often crossed my mind how the poor folk living in the monster-ridden nature's ditch must feel like living in the shadow of the grand and majestic capital of Skyrim.

When I escaped the dragon and safely arrived to Riverwood Faendal was the first living being to greet me (well, except the chicken of course xD). He stood there, basking in the sunlight, waiting with his quest. In the distance loomed a vision of our forthcoming adventure in Bleak Falls Barrow.
Umm... "Neloth" kinda rhymes with "melon" xD

Listen to this to put yourself in the right mood:
I would like to request a Dnmer kid with their parent, who is introducing them to an ancestor during a communion in an ancestral tomb or family hearth!
Dunmer parents be like: "C'mon, say hello to your grandpa."
I wish my for future home to be as blissful as the one I've made in Skyrim.

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.

Today is a boiling hot, dusty day and it feels like everything is about to melt... But you can't be happier - your dad takes you on a tour to his workplace in a cool, damp mine full of giant kwamas and little scribs :D
The work in a mine is hard and exhausting - but he won't let you toil since you're his little princess on a very special trip :3

I don't have anything else to offer besides this Neloth - take him plz, he's all yours.

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...
Do you think that a reading campaign posters would be more successfull if they featured cute baby Telvanni wizards?🥺

Dug up some old drawing from the era I was interested in concept art.
I didn't draw it ALL BY MYSELF, it's just an edited/overpainted photo to make him look more fun :)
A highborn Telvanni mistress and her smol baby. She looks a bit evil and nasty lol but appartently the sight of her very own child melts her heart. 🥺
Anyone wanted more of baby Neloth? :3

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?
Just another misty morning in Morrowind... and one of the last days in the life of a certain cliffracer :)

Hmmm... why does my default random dunmer guy look suspiciously Neloth-y? Maybe that's because he occupies 10% of my head, of the overall 50% reserved for the Dunmer.

I'm beginning to like the loose style of drawing environments :)
A mushroom wizard in a mushroom armor doodle. Thought he would look cute in it :3
Maybe I'll color it in another aeon.

"Stolen Sweetroll"
Your dad may have most of the money in Skyrim... but stealing that sweetroll was still worth it. Just for the thrill of it!
He definitely overuses his privilige of being recognized as the hero of Skyrim because of you.

No I'm not two different people - but yes, I'm learning envrionments and I've changed my style a bit.
My first artwork with so much perspective :)
Swampy home :)
If there ever was a poll "which Skyrim home do you prefer" I bet that sth like Breezehome or Lakeview Manor would win...
... but I personally would leave my whole life behind and move out to Windstad Manor! Swamp is such a perfect place to bring up your children.
"HOW do you imagine yourself surviving as a House Telvanni Wizard???!!! You don't even know THE BASICS!!!!"
(Talvas, in his head: "Yes, yes. I'm not gonna survive at all.")
"Drip! Drip!" - the teardrops on the paper.
________________
I've promised you Talvas crying over books... and here he is :)
Yes, I vent through drawing Talvas, move along.
One cool person told me this would make a good meme template :)
(Here's the original idea)
POV: Your lifelong fantasy: spend all of your days on building your own robots to produce incomparably that will fight against each other on your own robot arena!!! OwO
You work day and night on your ambitious project.
Here comes the day where everything seems to be finished. Then... DAMN! Unfortunately, your robots don't feel like attacking each other. They stand motionless right where they were. Hmmm... maybe their sensors weren't wired properly? Or you set some weird condition to be satisfied first?
Wait... there's this switch you forgot to turn on. Yes! The whole robot-robot aggression mechanism is finally activated!
But - you've seated yourself between two robots, idiot!
___________
I've met some cool people that are into robots recently (:
(recollecting my own memories of playing with robots, too)
POV: You were meant to do your chores and organize the alchemy ingredients… but you suddenly discover that some of them are increeeeeeedibly tasty!
Whoops, looks like your mum won't be able to prepare her special order with those rare, imported berries anytime soon.

I drew an art of @katastronoot 's Rheavie - but this time she's more mischievous than usual :)
There are some days in winter when you just need to leave your dignity aside - and protect your sensitive ears and bald head by all means possible.
He's prepared to kill anyone that dares to laugh at him.
