Schoolyear's coming, gonna be drawing a lot of Talvas crying over books. Hence this practice piece.

_____

The second piece: the Dunmer of the Raven Rock. I love Solstheim, gonna move there after I die.

Trying out some new finishing style... on Aryon!

I can't have too much of this paradoxical Telvanni diplomat.

__________

Autumn is coming, graveyards are becoming increasingly interesting places to study.

Evening falls. The atmosphere would be almost idyllic if it wasn't for the stench of a decomposing cat.

__________

__________

My Dunmer kiddo in a scarf doing some shady things again :)

Theoretically this is my OC, but gives very "Neloth" vibes (I guess I need to give him more distinctive features in the future).

So go on, you can think this is young Neloth.

A Dunmer immigrant in Windhelm.

Gray Quarter is not a dream place to live in. Some may choose to bemoan their existence...

...but Revyn Sadri realized that every city needs an honest used wares merchant with 100% non-stolen goods guaranteed!

If only it wasn't so cold out there!

____________

This artwork was made for 6 fanarts challenge, requested by some Annonymous.

Idk exacly whose boyfriend I drew, but I hope they are happy :)

____________

I don't think there's a direct info somewhere in the game that Revyn IS an immigrant, but lots of Dunmer in Windhelm are, so imo it kinda fit together nicely.

I love drawing happy Dunmer granddads :)

He's cuter than most of the children.

________

I have 2 hobbies now:

wizards with books

wizards with hot beverages

yes, this is another painting to my 6 fanarts challenge - I hope the savosfan1234 is happy like this grandpa

I don't know. I... maybe? It's what... it's what he wanted. He just needed their energy. I don't know! I hope I didn't. But... maybe I...

Please, you have to believe me!"

You deserved this, Ralis.

For 11000 gold I could buy a house and feed a family of four, you know?

*text slightly altered

Dug up an old drawing of sexy Vivec while cleaning 😃

___________

My favourite way to learn anatomy back then was redrawing leonardo-da-vinci-and-other-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles sketches.

I guess I thought the God of Morrowind would look even more godly in this style :)

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 :)

Just a bunch of broke students.

Are they practicing magic? No... they are eating their studenty meal - sausages boiled in a kettle!

(sausages and a kettle are a student meme back where I live lol)

_______________________

A bunch of announcements about my live in case someone cared:

Yes, I'm a student now :)

and that means I won't have that much time for drawing ):

I'll finish my 6 fanart challenge eventually, just lemme take a break.

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.

Neloth in a babushka scarf. A friend of mine thought it was a good idea, so if you wish to unsee it - but can't - I'm not the one to blame.

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 :)

"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.

A mushroom wizard in a mushroom armor doodle. Thought he would look cute in it :3

Maybe I'll color it in another aeon.

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 :)

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?

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".

A power-mad ancient wizard with dubious morals and a smug, self-seeking witch of an apprentice.

What possibly could go wrong? :3

But I secretly do hope that in one of the parallel universes nothing wrong has ever happened and they live happily together. 🥺

"Together we form House Telvanni, one of the great houses of Morrowind."

Here's your daily supply of Dunmer granddads and grandmas:

the no. 1 canditate in a contest for "kind and generous wizard"

tea-drinking boi, this time clean-shaven :3

Mistress Alzheimer, styled her after my former physics teacher - imagine Therana preparing you for the final exams

the worst type of an old, radical lesbian feminist you can get

the former archmagister R.I.P. - I made him look like a scumbag bc I do not wanna pity him

the friendly Telvanni diplomat always eager to lend you a hand - Divayth's greatest competitor

the tax-evading bad boy :3

________________

Do you have any unexpected favourites?

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

_________________________________________

Do you ppl have any other TES characters you wish to have portrayed as kids? (that's NOT an actual challenge, I guarantee nothing, though I'll probably flesh out my favourite suggestions :)

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

____________________________

Mer kids are my obsession at this point - expect more of them :3
