Arting ask on this round because I love hearing about the nuts and bolts behind your work. What styles and/or real world elements do you take inspiration from when you make fantasy art, and how do you put them in dialogue (this is totally where I'm fishing for an excuse to ask you about the Central Asian inspo for your Dunmer character design, but anything else you want to bring up too!) Is there a specific feeling you hope the viewer to get from your paintings? And finally, are your writing and your art in dialogue in some way, or are they totally separate processes?

Bonus: What do you not enjoy drawing/painting (if anything)?

Yes, an excuse for me to waffle on about process! Under a cut because this is long and full of pictures!

Stylistically I'm heavily influenced by Baroque, Roccoco, Pre-Raphaelite, and Romanticism. I rely quite heavily on chiaroscuro, I really love that luminous look that high-contrast darks and lights give to a work.

Girl with a Pearl Earring, Johannes Vermeer

Throwing in a well-known Vermeer because the contrast in this painting is what I want to achieve in my own.

Luminous, I really feel that coming through in this particular piece. I really love the contrast between dark and light. Plus it means I don't have to detail that damn back wall.

I also really love the movement in this painting.

The Swing, Jean-Honoré Fragonard.

Probably one of my favourite artworks!

Emma Hart as Circe, George Romney

I take a lot of portrait inspo from Rococo and classical court painters as well as a lot of influence from John Singer Sargent.

Portrait of Madame X and Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, John Singer Sargent.

I just like to play with light a lot! I ran into a problem when I was designing Sydari, I didn't want her wearing half the clothes that you find in vanilla. She's from Skyrim but doesn't feel like she belongs there. I wanted to give her a more dunmer-influenced style (this was like a year ago now when I got back into TES, also pre-including Teldryn in like everything).

Playing around in Morrowind and modding the heck out of Solstheim so that it looks like it's actually a part of Morrowind made me think about clothes...yep, I do that.

I noticed a lot of influences from Central Asia, East Asia, Sumer, Neo-Assyria and Akkad in the visual language of the game, as well as influencing a lot of the language, names etc. I decided to go with a general mix of these but most of my focus went towards a more Central Asian/Eurasian Steppe feel. The reason was these.

And this outfit

I loved those shoes, they were perfect in every way. The outfit was a good starting point too. Though this is costuming from a movie so I wanted to look for more traditional versions.

Fantastic!

And congratulations, I have a colour scheme!

More costuming but I fell in love with this one and have used it a few times.

I fully plan on utilising this style for Sydari's Skyrim arts.

I just sorta fish around for influences when I'm not working or painting. I use a lot of Bronze Age Levantine and Mesopotamian influences too, Vivec's jewellery is ripped from the Royal Cemetery of Ur.

Beads are murder! XD

So, my art is influenced by what I'm writing, or what I plan to write.

This one should take place towards the end of Part 1 of the fic. I made this way before I decided to bite the bullet and actually write anything.

And this should occur right before Diplomatic Immunity. Which is in Part 2.

I also create art for an upcoming tabletop game which is influenced by Bronze Age Mediterranean history (can't show it) but a lot of it is influenced by both historical dress and mythology from that time period.

As for feelings, I like to put a lot of small character-specific details in my art. I get a kick out of people commenting about what they notice. For example, I intend the Moon and Star ring to not actually fit Teldryn's finger (it's stuck) and I love that people have picked up on his vein attitude. I'm waiting on people to notice that the eyes move if you move your head. I do like that my art makes people happy. That makes me happy as well.

Bonus! I have a love/hate relationship with painting metal and jewellery in general. I get impatient with it and always leave it to last.

Tfw youre a rich artist in 18th century france and you wanna sell art to rich people but you also want to not be guillotined so you criticize the roccoco style of the art & architecture of aristocratic salons and praise neo-classist roman and german artists and create sculpture in the style of neo-classism emulating greek sculpture so well you eventually get a commission from napoleon fucking bonaparte to sculpt his sister as venus as a present to her new husband, a roman prince

Kraków ul. Westerplatte 9 Pałac Judkiewiczów, 1890-1892 architekci: Jan Zawiejski i Wandalin Beringer foto z 11 września 2017

Zbudowany dla Judela (Juliana) i Blimy Reizli (Rozalii) Judy-Jutkiewiczów lub Judkiewiczów, rodziców Jakuba Judkiewicza, krakowskiego radnego, przemysłowca i kolekcjonera antyków. Wprowadziwszy się u schyłku życia, cieszyli się nowym domem tylko kilka lat. Później pałacyk wielokrotnie zmieniał właścicieli, zanim w 1913 r. został własnością baronowej Marii z Łosiów Hagen-Schwerin, zapomnianej dziś literatki. Po I Wojnie Światowej przejęli go Maksymilian i Cecylia Haubenstockowie, w których posiadaniu pozostał do kolejnej wojny. Ich syn, adwokat Emil Haubenstock, był ojcem wybitnej biochemiczki, Anity Dolly Panek.

W 1953 r. do pałacyku wprowadził się Instytut Ekspertyz Sądowych i pozostał tam do dziś. Charakterystyczna sylwetka budynku widnieje w jego logo:

IES jest czołową pracownią kryminalistyczną w Polsce. W ciągu ponad półwiecza pod dachem pałacyku działo się znacznie więcej niż dochodzenia w sprawach powszednich morderstw: > analiza osadów z sarkofagu króla Kazimierza Jagiellończyka w 1973 r., co kosztowało życie blisko tuzina badaczy > analiza osadów z komór gazowych Auschwitz, obalająca tzw. Raport Leuchtera > genetyczna identyfikacja kości Mikołaja Kopernika i ustalenie koloru jego oczu (okazały się szare lub niebieskie) > analiza grafologiczna dokumentów w sprawie współpracy Lecha Wałęsy z SB > analiza nagrań czarnej skrzynki z katastrofy smoleńskiej

Pałacyk był też miejscem ukrycia i poszukiwań skarbu. Jednym z pierwszych dyrektorów IES był dr Jan Zygmunt Robel, który w czasie okupacji kierował zespołem identyfikującym ofiary zbrodni katyńskiej. Przesłuchującym go później komunistycznym władzom powiedział, że dokumentacja wyników przepadła w działaniach wojennych w 1945 r. W 1985 r. jedna z pracownic IES wyznała ówczesnemu dyrektorowi, że ponad trzydzieści lat wcześniej pomogła Roblowi przenieść dokumentację katyńską do nowej siedziby Instytutu. Nie znała jednak dokładnego miejsca jej ukrycia, a była ostatnią żyjącą z czworga wtajemniczonych ludzi, wliczając samego dr Robla. Po kilkuletnich poszukiwaniach, zbiór znany dziś jako „archiwum Robla” znaleziono w 1991 r. na poddaszu, nad belką stropową.

Kraków, Poland 9 Westerplatte St. The Judkiewicz Palace, 1890-1892 architects: Jan Zawiejski and Wandalin Beringer taken on 11 September 2017

Built for the married couple of Judel (Julian) and Blima Reizla (Rozalia) Juda-Jutkiewicz or Judkiewicz, the parents of Jakub Judkiewicz, a Cracovian councilman, industrialist and antiques collector. Having moved in at the twilight of their lives, they enjoyed the new home for just a few years. Later the palace changed hands many times, until in 1913 it became a property of Baroness Maria Hagen-Schwerin née Łoś, a nowadays forgotten writer. After the Great War it was taken over by Maksymilian and Cecylia Haubenstock, who owned it till the next war. Their son, a lawyer Emil Haubenstock, was the father of the renowned biochemist Anita Dolly Panek.

In 1953, the Institute of Forensic Research moved into the palace and has been staying there to this day. Its logo, shown above, is based on the building's characteristic shape. IFR is the leading forensic lab in Poland. In the span of over half-century the palace has seen much more than investigations on mundane murders: > analysis of residues from the tomb of King Casimir IV Jagiellon in 1973, which claimed the lives of almost a dozen of the researchers > analysis of residues from the gas chambers of Auschwitz, disproving the Leuchter Report > genetic identification of Nicolaus Copernicus' bones and finding out his eye color (grey or blue) > graphological analysis of the papers from the collaboration of Lech Wałęsa with SB > voice analysis of the black box from the Polish Air Force One crash

The palace was also the place of hiding and hunt for a treasure. One of the first heads of IFR was Dr. Jan Zygmunt Robel who in the time of WWII was in charge of the team identifying the victims of the Katyn massacre. Interrogated later by the communist authorities, he claimed all the resulting papers were destroyed in the military actions in 1945. In 1985, on of IFR's workers confided to the then head, that over thirty years earlier she had helped Robel in smuggling the Katyn documents to IFR's new premises. She didn't know the exact hiding place, though, and she was the last still alive of the four people in the know, including Dr. Robel himself. After a few years of searching, the collection known today as "the Robel archive" was found in 1991, in the attic above a roof beam.
