Tesblr - Blog Posts

I was going to show you this slight Joto redesign after I had done more work on the image, but it took so long that I decided to post it already rather than lose it forever in my drafts

I'll never justify Dram for what he did to this actual poor little meow meow 💔

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

I hope the Tiber Wars community is proud of me

z... zurik.....

I don't think I'm going to do anything with any of these sketches (because I got a better composition idea for my goal), but maybe they're worth posting as-is

It's always a little awkward when people see my obsession with TES and then assume that I'm going to like whatever fantasy franchise they recommend to me just as much.

Because, you know, my favorite elements of TES are the ones it DOESN'T have in common with most other media products in the genre.

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

Some outfits for the Cyrodilic Grand Visier 🤔

The bottom one has a very nice description btw

I don't think anyone told him while Richton was still alive...

See what a smuggler has to say:

Also remember how many imperial soldiers weren't properly buried (like those poor guys in local dwemer ruins) → got caught in N'Gasta's soul snare as well. Oh no I don't think anyone in the capital would approve of that. Richton is such a scumbag when you think about it...

Ah yes, work with the necromancer whose sugar daddy is Mannimarco. Did/would Zurin approve? Who knows, that’s if anyone even told him. Depends on when his beef with Mannimarco started I guess

Poor Attrebus 😔

A chase down that resulted in an almost romantic trip out in a stolen boat.

Happy Valentine’s Day 👋

Featuring @ijiwaruuma ‘s OC Rene and the oh so terrifying Dram

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

Have some Zurin doing mundane Zurin things ✨

Character design is (mostly) by me

But the art itself and all the magic is by my dearest friend on Bluesky

So, yeah, about my abscence. There's two reasons why:

1. My mental health and life situation — sadly, I can do nothing about it in a foreseeable future

2. Tumblr culture?? — I can do something, but I have to ask you first

Before I created this blog, I was sharing my art on a different website. I mean, on a VERY DIFFERENT website. Where likes had meaning and reblogs were frowned upon.

But I see how people communicate here, sometimes treating the blog space like a group chat or something. It's very sweet but can I do the same? I think, I'm too insecure for it right now... and yet I really want to reciprocate and engage with the community in it's comfortable way.

So, I want to make some changes for the people interacting with me and that's why I ask them (you?):

1. Should I just become more open on this blog? I don't think I'll be reblogging and posting other stuff that frequently, but this account will definitely stop being just a gallery...

2. Should I make another blog for interactions and everything else? Since I'm not sure people will follow an account that only reblogs stuff, I'll be posting my art there as well to make sharing other's posts more meaningful. This one will still serve as a gallery, but for the art I'm particularly proud about?

3. Change nothing. Leave likes, do crime. Maybe I'm just overthinking everything, I don't know.

The poll isn't really important, I'd like to see the opinions of people I know are interested.

Thanks in advance!

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

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

Remember that time when Mannimarco called him Arnand the Fox? That's the best explanation I have for now

And I had to get it out of my head as quick as possible

First rule of being a ghost: don't mess with the mages

I'm not very fond of undead, but these two are an exception

When the news of Empire's defeat on Stros M'Kai reach the Imperial City he doesn't want to be there

Using the first free day of a month to show you my take on Dram's mentor

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

This is my first Morrowind fanart btw (2022)

Wait, no. One day I just spontaneously decided to sketch Yagrum Bagarn (circa 2017)

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.

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.

@ijiwaruuma "Well, I have had two hundred years' more practice!" 

Unfinished Friday LET'S GOOO

Thanks for the tag, @falmerbrook!! Go check her post out as well btw, it's very cool

★ ★ ★

Boy do I have something to show this time...

Let's start with the askblog answer I'm currently aiming to finish:

And here's some spoilers of drawings for the second answer which may or may not see the light of day: (that's graphic tablet drawings btw!!)

Same thing, farther down this line:

Bonuses!

My unfinished polaroid

And whatever this is

Bye 👋

Oh no no wait

Gotta tag my dear friends @rzpotato-blog, @unknownhomosapien and @smkndfbb

Sorry if you already participated, I'm too busy to check Tumblr this days... But you can use this post as an excuse to show more of your wips :D

If you want to, that is. Anyways, have a good day!

Chibi Dram for everyone who missed us

And again, the original text was a little better. Sorry!

Yep, I've only just noticed that dark pixels on his model's forehead look like some kind of scar...

Help me, tumblr! Gotta figure out how he'll look in my future fan art
