Working on drawing more reference images for my OCs, starting with my numerous Elder Scrolls characters! Top: Rakkan, my nerevarine, a big old barbarian, drawn here both in his youth and at the age he's at in the story of Morrowind. The second character I haven't found a timeframe for, he is a destruction mage working shady buisiness in the Senchal criminal underground. Both are khajiit.

bro how am I only now seeing your dungeon meshi art.... smh!! I APPRECIATE YOUR VISION...

Well, the anime made a lot of new fans flood the tags and I posted my stuff a year or so before that wave and not a lot of it...so it's been buried! Glad you like my drawings though! I think of Dungeon Meshi a lot, it's one of my favorite manga ever, but I don't think I can draw much fanart for it because the author already thought of everything! Some media is like that to me - when it's perfectly contained and elaborates in all possible directions I don't have ideas for fanart anymore :'D

#but ye im a huge fan!! if you want i have a sideblog url kustas where i post about it often and share fan content i like :) #ask #but yeah its one of my rare 10/10 mangas there might be like. four LOL

Quick wind down of Ishma chilling in an inn or something. He's friendly with everyone and thus knows an unmatched amount of addresses he can crash at uninvited. Pipe smoking is seen pretty negatively where he comes from but he's too old to care much about that

#oc #the elder scrolls #ishma #.csp #2024 #as always i forgot some of his tats and only realized right before hitting post...didn't forget his horns for once tho lol #bosmer

portrait of a particularly smug goblin, curling up his neck like a heron of sorts.

Have you ever made or been involved on a large scale, art-related project other than beyond skyrim? Asking because the quality of your art is really honed; it reminds me of professional published material.

Hello and thank you! I have not. I do have years of art school under my belt though, and before that I have been drawing since forever. My studies had me work on projects with professional intent and I've interned in a game studio once. While currently still looking for work, the state of the industries I could work in and my inexperience are such that I have little to no chance of finding work right now. Just keeping on making my fanarts and own stories with as much bravado as I could being paid for the time being

Though I must say, that's a really touching compliment for me. Years ago, someone told me they recognized me as "the sketchy elder scrolls artist" (as in I posted sketches, not shady lol) and while it was a compliment it made me a bit self conscious and since then I've tried only sharing finished, polished pieces on there. And you are confirming that got noticed haha!

I hope one day I'll be working on more big art projects, I really love participating in teamwork and how it lets you achieve crazy goals! If it's online fan projects you'll absolutely see it here, like the zine pieces I sometimes post and my Beyond Skyrim stuff :)

And if you do want to see my sketches...guess I might post that again some day if people like it? Already been considering sharing time lapses because I love seeing them myself. Cheers anon, have a lovely day!

#ask #<333 tysm #i will not post anything related to my RL adventures for my own security though! may the curious be mindful of this #i do post a lot of WIPs on twitter bc it allows you to delete them...now that you can lock RBs guess i could do it here? I don't like when #wips get more shares than the finished paintings x)

Clothing set I recently finished for BS Elsweyr. Meant to have a casual version for monks to chill in and a training set equipped with bells for extra challenge.

Originally based on some sketches done by @sothasil but at this point the design has been ship of Theseus'd into oblivion.
