What if I remade my Blorbo's heads in BG3 as a treat just for me.

The Hanged Man - my Tennocon 2025 Showcase submission.

Thoughts and extras below the cut!

This piece is kind of a love letter to Alad and all he has been through I suppose! I'm sure plenty of people have drawn Warframe Tarot Cards before, but I decided to draw Alad as the Hanged Man card.

Upright, the Hanged Man represents a change in perspective, surrender, sacrifice. In this position you can see Nef Anyo to Alad's left, and Shadow Stalker + Hunhow to his right. People Alad has come to the Tenno for help against, or even assisted us in besting.

Nef, who sought to destroy Tyl Regor's lab data for the sole purpose of stopping Alad from curing himself, causing Alad to instead come to us, desperately seeking help to stop Nef and cure his self-inflicted malady. Nef, who while Alad suffers as an underdog trying to claw his way back to his seat on the Corpus board, continues to gain the favor of his peers.

Though Alad did initially gain from assisting us in the Second Dream, he immediately had to surrender that gain when the Shadow Stalker sent his Acolytes after him. Once again finding himself in the position of asking the Tenno for help.

In this position Alad is hung by a string of infestation, the very thing that caused his downfall and sparked this change in perspective.

Reversed, the Hanged Man represents stubbornness, a refusal to change, selfishness and egotism. In this position you can see Natah to his left, and Frohd Bek to his right.

It was Alad's stubbornness and refusal to play nice with his fellow board members, and his selfish dedication to the Zanuka project, that sparked Frohd Bek attempts to sabotage him, seeking the aid of the Tenno to halt his work and removing Alad from the Corpus Board, bank rolling his projects. One of the many events that incited his downfall.

Alad's old habits and greedy nature caused him to take the red flag filled deal with Regus, leading to his regretful forced partnership with the Sentients, of which Natah placed the Ropalolyst on his front doorstep as a reminder of his mistakes and his forced servitude. Despite his numerous mistakes in the past, he had not learned a thing, he had not changed.

In this position Alad's head is bracketed by sentient like structures, alluding to his cowardly attempt to hand over Corpus ships during the new war. Though we don't know his true intentions, given his thoughts through the Partnership Fragments, I believe this was just another attempt to save his own skin. After all, you know what he always says: If you can save just one life, it better damn well be mine.

Here it is in reverse, and with some extra closeups so you can see the background characters.

How many times will I lose you? Late night contemplation from Sevo who wonders how many times Alad will vanish from his life, and if one day he won't come back. He causes him a lot of turmoil and anguish but the truth of it is he cannot fathom a life without him. Alternate purple version under the cut.

[quietarcher]

I was looking through the dozens of outfits I have drawn Sevo in overs the years and picked out a few favourites to redraw, I am currently back in my Sevo/Alad arc, we will see how it lasts (I have missed them both)

[quietarcher]

hey i found your nexus profile by chance and im also a collector of little dunmer men. can we kiss

Always happy to see other Dunmer men collectors (there are dozens of us) No kissies, but we may exchange firm handshakes like business people with briefcases full of Dunmer man images 🤝

[quietarcher]

in the most round about way the valkyr rework news got me thinkin of Alad and then the spirit of homosexuality took over...

[quietarcher]

Experimental drawing of my Vestige holding his Pony Guar (Yeah yeah he's a Dunmer like every other TES OC I have I'm sorry I can't help it). I see so few fat Vestige's when I play ESO :( I'm not really content with this, but I'm in a real rut with my art still and I need to try new things.

[quietarcher]

Another character concept I wanted to draw; an Ordinator who has contracted Corprus, and now spends the last of his sane days eradicating Sixth House cultists.

As he is no longer allowed to affiliate with the Ordinators, he has been stripped of his Indoril helmet and conceals his armour, however Local Temples will sometimes leave supplies for him at dead drops. When citizens begin to hear about him, they start to leave him prayers and offerings of beads and trinkets. He carries them with him and adorns his armour with them to remind him of his purpose. When the time comes and he feels his mind slipping too far (if he hasn't already died fighting in some Sixth House pit) he will pass through the ghost gate and never be seen again.

I was inspired by the Nix Mount models in Tamriel Rebuilt and specifically this splash screen mod for Morrowind, and wanted to draw a guy who rides one 'cause it seemed fun. I figure they probably make deliveries or something around the Ashlands and Molag Amur regions since they're more treacherous areas that'd be easier for a lone rider to navigate than a whole cart.

I've been rotating these two in my head a lot lately.

[quietarcher]

Fruity Telvanni wizard hours. Another of my many Dunmer OCs, this one is Relnalryn Gothyl, younger brother to Ulvinis and a bratty Telvanni wizard with awful shoes.

[quietarcher]

I miss my wife, Tenno. (Alad is entering his receding hairline arc, what I fool I was for ever drawing him with a full head of hair)

[quietarcher]

I take what I am owed.

I've been doing a bit less drawing lately because I'm going through a mod making obsession again and I can't stop making shit so here are some things I've made so far in the last couple months.

Dwemer themed heavy armour mashup I initially made for my current Dunmer PC Relnalryn (he's Ulvinis' little brother)

Light armour mashup that I originally made for Raynes because I hate Skyrim's vanilla leather armour.

A set of Dwemer styled arm and leg prosthetics as a modders resource, you'll need a little more know-how to make use of these, but I'm very proud of them. Again originally made for Relnalryn but I expanded them into a full set for others to make use of.

And finally some glasses that I once again originally made for Relnalryn in a day. These ones have more scratch made components (I'm getting into modelling things more) rather than just a straight up vanilla mash up. Anyone can wear them, even the beast races.

I've got some other random things in the oven right now (I really cannot stop) a light bonemold mashup, hopefully some Telvanni robes if I can get them to look nice, and some scratch made eyepatches.

Thanks for reading and indulging my non-drawing hobbies lol.

[quietarcher]

Taggin this one with the mature filter 'cause you can tell where my mind was when I drew these lmaoo.

Been getting back into Skyrim a lil and wanted to draw some of my Dunmer boys, Councillor Endur Rumin and Ulvinis :3

[quietarcher]

Dirk takes a lil' smoke break.

Wanted to draw him with his jumpsuit tied off but was also very smitten with the idea of him smoking little clay pipes

10 years ago today, I became one of the Warframe's many registered losers! To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to draw Sevo's first ever iteration, and his most recent, as one of my longest standing OCs for some time now.

It's crazy to me that I've been playing this game for 10 years, even at times when I felt I was done, it always ropes me back in. I've met some wonderful people through Warframe, and though it changes so much it always brings me joy one way or another. Warframe has also inspired and motivated me to draw and improve in my art over the years, I really wouldn't be able to draw like I do now without it (and without Alad lmao)

I owe a heck of a lot to this game, thank you DE, for all that you do!So, all being well, here's to another decade of playing Warframe 🤞💕
