"A sixth-dram dropped, and you flinch from my hand. Good, muthsera. Good for you. I have the third's eye fire and can tell you the story of your house. In the all honest Vel, I'd rather have that than your hand. It has the ghartoki on it. Hold now, they both do." (What My Beloved Taught Me)

A map of pre-Battle of Red Mt. Resdayn. Been doing a lot of Chimer/Resdayn worldbuilding for a TTRPG. Still not sure how much of it I'll post or not. Maybe some gems here and there... #TES #ESO #ElderScrolls

House Dagoth: A Forgotten History. I've been worldbuilding Resdayn's past for something and I got a sudden awe moment with House Dagoth and their role in Chimer society. Also fleshed out Chimer history a bit more #TES #ElderScrolls #ESO #Morrowind drnightst.one/#house-dagoth

I did it, I got the character ref page done. Got my ArtFight page up, too, but it's very bare bones. This is my first year joining in, link me your pages so I can draw your people! (I'm mostly a fantasy person but willing to branch out) artfight.net/~LadyNerevar #artfight #elderscrolls #esofam

Reference page for my character Lapulé. She is a Maormer with messy shoulder length hair and smudgy red "eye shadow". She's shown wearing three outfits: a tan linen dress and blue scarf; a pink-ish voluminous blouse and tight pants with knee-high boots, plus a wide leather belt and big bag; and an indigo cloak with hood, embroidered with serpents.

Wanted to do something fun and completely different than my usual things. Here's the thief girl from the cover of TES1: Arena.

Stylized gouache painting of the thief girl from the cover of Elder Scrolls Arena. She wears a pleather bikini top with long sleeves that inexplicably have cutouts, as well as thigh-high boots. Her hair is wavy and pulled back from the top of her head, and she's got a matching pleather headband. No, I do NOT know what was going on with fantasy woman design in the 90s. She's sitting on a ruined arch.

commission for a friend ^^ featuring his vision of Ralzakark from Glorantha, the king of the beastmen! | #glorantha #runequest #broo #ralzakark #art #unicorn |

An albino anthropomorphic unicorn is standing and pouring blood from a plate onto a runic stone, his other hand outstreched in an inviting majestic gesture. He is wearing byzantine-style robes and a cape. His claws and hooves are gilded.
here he is pouring blood on the stone as an ironic gesture, because the stone depicts the battle of Arkat and Nysalor (and Arkat is winning), and here, Ralzakark is the reincarnation of Nysalor! So he is kinda mocking Arkat by making a gift of blood to the idol of his nemesis

Next to her, a slightly smaller, somewhat confused looking Dunmer responds: "Serjo, it's Tirdas..."

This. This is what drives me crazy about so much #worldbuilding, whether its a novel, movie, or a roleplaying setting. Pretty much only #Glorantha and #Shadowrun actually manage to nail this, from my experience, though some of the #Eberron books give it a good effort. youtu.be/pjrrUZeJMSo?...

Real missed opportunity IMO for Elder Scrolls comics, so I went ahead and imagined my own. The 83rd incarnation of Dram fights for behalf of the Empire in the Great War... or does he? The pose is from @trueref.bsky.social's June drawing challenge #TrueRefDT005

Cover of a comic titled The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard. It's the 49th volume and costs $4.99. The subtitle is The All-New Adventures of Dram-83. The cover uses warm oranges and blues and has heavy linework. A dunmer in a face scarf is kneeling on the side of a building holding a sword, his face and body heavily shadowed in the sunset.

Alternative color/medium. First one was airbrush, watercolor, and colored pencil, this one is various types of markers. The drawing was done digitally and then printed on watercolor paper and sealed with fixatif.
