Man, lighting mods can make Skyrim look so nice.

Anywho, here's An-Lei living her best life as Skyrim's own Indiana Jones. Also easily the only one reasonably well-adjusted OC I've ever made.

my Hero of Kvatch  Her name is Jumps-At-Shadows, and she is afraid of the dark.

i spent way too much time messing with mods just so that i could make her  some of her other iterations:

HAPPY LATE CHRISTMAS @falmerbrook!!!!!!!!! Sorry for being such a late Secret Santa...

I've loved your argonian designs since I found you on tumblr so I KNEW I had to draw one of your ocs when I got your name. And Stellar was indeed the winner!!! Both him and Ramshuribani give off such chaotic energy that them dancing around a fire just came naturally to me. Or maybe it was the fault of hours of hurdy-gurdy music on loop. In any case, hope you like it! <3

Hi, I also wanted to say thank you for the English translations! Your art and storytelling is so lovely and wholesome and I’m very happy to be able to read them without annoying little translation tools ^-^

I did want to ask, do you not like drawing khajiits? I’ve seen you draw very nice argonians but I’m not sure if I remember seeing a khajiit before!

Thank you for the comment! I'm glad my English helps.

Yes, I like khajiits, but I don't draw them very often. I've posted some khajiit stuff on X(Twitter). This is one of those silly manga...

ESO: We gotta stop meeting like this Champion ~💖

Not fun moment when the mad god shows interests towards mortals when he wants to play his games... worse when mad god shows love interest for his new favourite mortal that has been thwarting his fun, luckily the champion of tamriel knows how deal with him..dont help she finds the deadra god attractive.~💕

Doodling practice around some poses and.. this was result with dance pose, decided draw my elder scrolls online Argonoan sona with my fav deadra, Sheogorath... i can imagen this would happen with the mad god himself being so random.

plus having crush sheo as one my fav deadra.. hehe 💕

try a cartoony style for eso character and looks pretty good, so might keep that style draw eso stuff again =p

i dont follow you or anything i just occasionally see your posts around but im in love with your nerevarine

Legit, I never expected so much support for my Nerevarine. Argonians are fun to draw and Vakkah-lah became one of my favorites to draw about!

Glad people enjoy seeing this walking disaster bi take on the world.

best worst dragonborns ft. Darra and Lanskr (for @boulderfall-cave)

JUMPYYYY ily and i love your art

(AF people go attack my bruh who draws fantastic Argonians and Khajiit and Elves over here: https://artfight.net/~JumpyJoltik)

[rabbittwinrithings]

question about khash actually, how do you feel about people making human designs of her (ex; someone who cant draw argonians lul) and while im asking, have you ever made her a human design?

I'm 100% fine with people drawing her as human. I love seeing others' interpretations of my characters!

I have drawn her a few times in the past. But I know at some point I really want to take a crack at drawing her again as a human. Though, all my drawings are in another period.

This one was in 2020, I think?

2022, I think? But could be wrong. I also did a western AU drawing of her and Marlok since western tropes and True Grit really inspired their story.

And finally, awhile back I did a Sims 4 run with her in it. I don't have too many of the pictures anymore of the run, but here's one with Khash and her girlfriend.

Hope this help!

Favorite species or character archetype to draw?

In terms of the animals I like to draw, I find myself doing lots of varied fantasy lizards (typically ones that have horns, sometimes argonians) and canines with long snouts (I am very fond of making them blocky, with ears that are just shapes). In general I have a fondness for drawing girls and buff people of all genders!

In terms of character archetype, I love to draw lots of different personalities, and I love a girl who can act up just as much as a girl who's wise and thoughtful, but I think I tend to default to characters who can give the viewer a cool look at an angle like, "Yeah, what's up?"

[falmerbrook]

New TES OC’s???!???!??!

*puts head in hands* Tell me all about them!

EEEEEE I'm glad someone wants to hear about them!!!! Well, they aren't necessarily new, but I haven't talked about most of them here for the most part so they are to most of you :D

Also, little disclaimer, I'm the type to make a whole cast (family, friends, distant cousins, etc.) for like every character I make, so I'll just introduce the major ones.

(also I'll put it under the cut to not clog dashes)

Morrowind

Stellar (Nerevarine)

My Nerevarine. Argonian. 19 years old at the time of the game. Was hatched and grew up in slavery in eastern Vvardenfell before escaping and running away to Cyrodiil when he was about 11 (where he eventually got his name, and tried his best to assimilate and lose his Morrowind-isms). There he settled in a little gang of thieves in the Imperial City, where he eventually went to jail (long term) after he accidently killed a guy. From there he gets sent to Vvardenfell and [PLOT OF MORROWIND]. For obvious reasons he is not happy about that, and only goes along with Caius's schemes so he can get the money to go to Black Marsh. He has the classic teenage boy-ism of acting very hard, aggressive, apathetic, and mean to mask a more genuine curiosity, desire for adventure, and care for others. So while he'd never admit it, he gets very invested in all the mystery around the Nerevarine prophecies. When he eventually does get to Black Marsh, he finds himself equally not welcomed there, and instead accepts his place as the (potential) Nerevarine, returning to Vvardenfell.

I think he's the only character that I've ever gone through a proper deign process with so I'm very proud of his design (even though I'm still struggling to draw it accurately).

Ramshuribani (Stellar's friend/love interest)

22 year old Ashlander of the Urshilaku tribe/Nerevarine Cult. She specializes in textiles, leather working, and making clothing. After Stellar arrives at the tribe and starts hanging around to earn their good graces, she's the first to take an interest in him. She finds his seeming delusions and his earnestness endearing, but eventually becomes the first to take him seriously, becoming his biggest cheerleader and urging him forward in his journey. When Stellar goes around trying to become the Nerevarine and Hortator, she tags along with him and they bond.

Moss/Sleeps-in-Moss (Stellar's friend/love interest)

One of Stellar's childhood friends. 18 year old argonian. As a young teen when he had the chance to flee to Black Marsh, he decided to remain in Vvardenfell and work with the Twin Lamps to help others escape slavery. While at first thrilled to run back into Stellar and learn he was ok, he's put off and frustrated by Stellar essentially being a pawn of the Empire and Ashlanders, and thinks all the Nerevarine bs is just a way to manipulate him.

Skyrim

Elisere Vaelenwyn Faerendal (Last Dragonborn)

21 year old altmer with snow elf ancestry on her mother and grandmother's sides (thus her pale complexion). While most of her family doesn't share her zeal, her and her grandmother are both very passionate about learning and trying to connect with the snow elf history and culture. Her grandmother is a researcher on the topic. She has a very intense personality, but is also sort of a prissy asshole.

So I really like the interpretation of being dragonborn being a sort of allegory for neurodivergence (but more specifically autism/adhd because I have experience with the former) and so I lean into it a lot with her. She struggled a lot growing up and into adulthood with always feeling like she needed to be in complete control/order, black and white thinking, poor socialization skills, and general anger and violence issues. While she tried to pursue an education focusing on destruction magic at a prestigious university, she struggled with control of her magic and felt restricted there. All of this, living in a place with heavy thalmor propaganda, and her passion for the snow elves led to her developing very extreme xenophobic views of humans (particularly nords).

When Elisere's mother and grandmother died in very close proximity to each other, El doesn't really know how to deal with it (losing her family and the two people she felt like she had left of her lost culture) and so she decided to go scorched earth and drops her whole life and head to Skyrim to do... something drastic (she didn't think that far ahead). Once arriving there [SKYRIM INTRO] happens and it slaps a bit of sense into her. Irregardless, she decides to stay in Skyrim. While in Skyrim, over time, she realizes 1) she's dragonborn (worst thing that could happen to her ever), and 2) it might be a better cultural landscape for her. Character development happens (I'm leaving it here for now bc I'm tired and I don't want to seem like I'm rambling, but she's my problematic child whom i love)

Helge Saber-Skin (Eliere's companion? adopted mom? friend??)

Nord woman in her late 60s. Looks at Elisere and goes "I can fix her" [motherly]. A very classic born-and-bred Nord; loud, confident, friendly, and proud. She and her late husband fought in the Great War, moving to Haafingar and raising 4 kids afterwards (I'm still foggy on that timeline though). Generally anti-Imperial and pro-Stormclaok (although willfully ignorant to the Stormcloak's less-noble beliefs), becoming very pro-Stormcloak after her husband was killed by an Imperial soldier and she feels pressured to move out to Eastmarch. As a widowed empty-nester, when she stumbles upon a very injured Elisere, she takes her in and upon hearing El vent, realizes that Elisere probably just needs a surrogate mother figure in her life, and eagerly tries to fill that void and support her while she's in Skyrim and on her journey. This is not something Elisere wants, but if Helge is anything it's stubborn (and it's probably something Elisere needs). They make each other more open minded.

Oblivion

Morvyn (Hero of Kvatch)

Mid to late 20s dunmer (they/she/he btw). Grew up in Ald'ruhn to a single abusive, unstable mother, which led to them running away as a teen and ending up Cyrodiil struggling to get by. They have intense anxiety from their upbringing, and struggle with psychologically-induced selective mutism. They almost never speak, and use sign-language to communicate (when they can. most people don't know it. this just contributes to their asociality and anxiety). They're sensitive, nervous, and a people pleaser, but also very resilient, selfless (to a self destructive degree),a nd empathetic. Their desire to help others is often the only thing to override their other issues. They are a jack-of-all-trades, master of none, and can pick up new skills pretty easily (but struggle to get very good at them). They initially bond with Martin through their shared experiences of being bastards. They're kinda greasy.

I have another major Oblivion character but she's real underdeveloped and needs more time in the oven. Too much brain power goes into morrowind and skyrim, sorry oblivion.

Saori

I've already talked about her before (this post) but I will mention her again. My necromancin' ecologist child :D. She kinda exists outside the realm of the games but she meets and becomes acquaintances/friends with Elisere and Stellar.
