Since the illustration of my TES oc, Vakna featuring Hircine popped off, I decided to finally design her werewolf form. She's already 6'5" as a human, so you know her Beast Mode version is gigantic lol
Still, I wanted to find a balance between "intimidating monster" and "can actually be kind of huggable when not snarling and rampaging", hence the inclusion of the spots on her nose and her pink toe beans
Playing around with her design again. One thing I will always be keeping is, in her older years, she has those big braids with a long ponytail. Still debating on adding scars and/or tats. Maybe a shredded ear in elven form.
Her biography has been altered a little, or at least I’m considering altering it. I’m growing more fond of the idea of her being born a werewolf, the genetics being dormat in her family for generations until her. That “perverse curse” didn’t mix well with the natural raw and powerful magic on Artaeum where she was born, and her unfortante condition was the result. Her body is an magically unstable ticking time bomb, with spells being impossible unless she wants to let the magic just go off and rip her apart from the inside out.
However, the surplus magic within her seems to attatch itself to her lycanthropy, and when transformed her condition is pacified- and she is is able to use spells. Granted she has to be able to focus, which is always difficult as a werewolf, but if she sets her mind to it, she actually can.
For those new to my OCs, basically her contion is magical overload to the point her body can’t handle it so she has to be VERY careful never to use magic in any shape or form. She also has what we know as PCOS, but with a magical twist as the surplus magic in union with her shapeshifter abilities can cause her body to just swap genders, hair color, eye color, sometimes skin tone though that’s rare. Concentrating, she can keep herself locked in this state above, which is a little of both genders, though biologically female, which she prefers.
That being said, if Caafire’s going to have a masculine frame, damn straight she’s going to have the most handsome beard in all of Tamriel~
Caafire is married to Vanus Galerion, and together they had Trechire Galerion, my Vestige OC.
Given the alterations to Caafire’s background, I’ll be needing to mess with Trechire’s background as well.
(Mild flashing/eyestrain warning for the second half! I'll post a slower version below that's less flashy and let's you see the details)
A short Morrowind animation for a MAP (Multi-Animator Project).
It was fun trying different methods of animation (no reference for Nerevar, rotoscoping a 3D model for the ring, and a video reference for the hand) and letting myself use a loose sketchy style!

Version with the second half slowed down (link because Tumblr is dumb about having more than one video in a post):
I've always wanted to do a "Pieta"-esque piece, and figured my Skyrim OCs would be a good vehicle to do it! Scene takes place shortly after the final Alduin fight, at the throat of the world: Vakna (dragonborn) doing her best to keep her Falmer lover, Sivasei conscious while imploring Odahviing to take them back to Whiterun.
