"As the bridge collapsed, Dagoth Ur leapt towards Sa'Nahrevii. She panicked and stuck out her spear, on which the Sharmat impaled himself. He was silent for a moment before lifting up his hand and holding this one's face, as though a lover would. 'Sweet Nerevar,' he inquired weakly, 'After this, will you remember me with hatred or love?'. Sa'Nahrevii had no clue how to answer. She was too afraid to. This had to be another trick of the Sharmat, surely. And so this one remained silent, staring at the emotionless golden mask." -excerpt from sa'nahrevii's journal recount of her battle with dagoth ur
REDRAW OF A PIECE FROM ALMOST A YEAR AGO!!! you mightve seen it before. or not. im too lazy to link back to it. now complete with slight updates and slightly more hints to the doomed yaoi pasts of nerevar and voryn
its past midnight for me so its not even her birthday anymore but happy birthday eden corvus. i originally wanted to complete this on time for her birthday but alas, im a college student and have college work to do so you get this close up screenshot 💔💔💔 each time i try to draw this picture i feel worse and worse for everything that happens to her
frames from an animatic that i made basically all in one night. overall not the HAPPIEST with the animatic (i shouldve made myself take a break and continue it another time LMAO) but alas.
i had the craziest time today walking into my art class thinking for a second a young flynn carsen/noah wyle had suddenly materialized in the class before realizing it was my professor who had gotten a haircut
small doodle dump to show off some of my silly little khajiits!!!! i love them dearly
1. sa'nahrevii (nerevarine) as she looks during the oblivion crisis!! a goofy mix of her original chitin armor from during morrowinds story and my design for nerevar!!!
2. small lore dump: sa'nahrevii is the adopted sister of j'khanni (hero of kvatch)!! the two reunite in cyrodiil sometime after khanni starts becoming known as the hero of kvatch and the two work together to end the crisis! nahrevii also enjoys messing around with the levitation spells she knows and khanni doesnt
3. do'tsavahra, my eso character!! i really havent done much with her, im unsure how much of the main eso story she really fits into LMAO
im going to be doing artfight for my second year in a row!! while i may mostly draw fandom ocs, any oc that catches my eye isnt safe from me!!!
ill also be trying to revenge as much as possible (though that may not guarantee one)!! will also try to spread out attacks more so i dont get burnt out and can hopefully get more attacks in this year LMAO
i just wanna say to the people who reblogged this saying it reminded them of foul murder/nerevars murder: YES!!! THANK YOU!!! that was what i was going for!! :D
Oooooo I'd love to know more about your fallout OCs, if you wanna share! Do you mind giving a run-down on them? Red looks so cool :O Love characters with bows!
THANK YOUUU!! ill give info (featuring a few doodles as well) on all of them below the cut!!! beware, a lot of yapping incoming
Red
shes absolutely one of my favorites despite her being my newest and least drawn, she actually just started as a character by me telling my friend id play 76 if he made me an archer ghoul build, which he in fact did
before the war she was a bowhunter living in kentucky, she was going on a hunting trip in a forest in kentuckys appalachian region when the bombs dropped
for a good while she just wandered in ky before deciding to explore more of appalachia in the 2100sÂ
gradually over this time period she underwent ghoulification (as can probably be seen by her design /j)
she got her pip-boy from a dead vault 76 dweller she found soon after entering west virginia, depending on whether or not i really want 76 to be fully canon to my personal interpretation of the lore she also finds the overseers holotape message you find at the start telling you about the whole silo mission thing
after many years she decides to start making a guide on the newly evolved wildlife in appalachia, moiras wasteland survival guide style
when she finishes appalachias wildlife guide, she decides to journey to other regions of the wasteland to make more guides for each!! theyve taken a long time for whatever reasons, and for the fun of it she happens to be in a region during its main story (so california for 1 + 2, capital wasteland for 3, etc). because of this shes met all my other characters and theyve all had a part in making their regions wildlife guide!!Â
the bow and arrow is her only weapon EVER. because i just like archery :]Â shes drawn with so many arrows because she genuinely keeps a crazy amount of arrows on her. she is NOT running out of arrows. inspired by me really hoarding arrows in 76 to the point of it actually starting to impact my carry weight
she was named after the red tailed hawk (which are common in kentucky!!)
she has been attacked by mothman multiple times. the first time scared the absolute shit out of her (based on whats happened to me in 76)
Kestrel Shepherd
unfortunately i really dont have much information on him or peregrine because i havent played through fallout 1 and 2 as much (because im bad at it 💔💔💔)
he was named after the american kestrel (the coloring reminded me a little bit of the vault jumpsuit)
hes also actually my shortest character because of this at 5'5
kestrel is transmasc!! he finds this out in the middle of looking for the waterchip during some late night conversation with ian and tycho
that was inspired by me originally having him set as female when i started fallout 1 and then how in fallout 2 all mentions of the vault dweller refer to him as male
where does he get hrt in the wasteland??? idk!!! maybe the followers of the apocalypse or something!!Â
most stressed man ever. he constantly eyed the reminder of how much time he had to find the chip
despite that, still tried to help out wherever he could
Peregrine Shepherd
like with kestrel i dont have as much for her due to my severe lack of skill, but shes one my favorite designs
named after the peregrine falcon because she has a 10 in agility!!Â
most likely focused more on melee fighting
her yellow body art is common in arroyo! its inspired by kestrels vault jumpsuit mostly. the obvious yellow stripe around the neck and down part of the middle of the chest, alongside the right shoulder side having bits resembling the gear notches on vault doors, the left shoulder has curves made to resemble the pauldron from the armored vault suit, and then both arms have marks inspired by the pip-boy (the one on peregrines left arm just gets covered by the actual pip-boy)
she loves to make jewelry! she made all of her allies something usually with blue, yellow, and green beads like her own. goris got little dangly things from his horns, marcus got a large necklace (which he still wears by the time of new vegas!), cassidy got a few bracelets (he acted annoyed by the idea of it which was why he got small bracelets, but secretly he really cherished them), and ill be SO honest i still havent really decided whats made for sulik. this also goes to explain her main party LMAOÂ
you know that classic promo image with the decorated t-51 helmet? she ABSOLUTELY has that. because of this she also decorated the APA she got from Navarro (which she also kept after the story. id imagine it becomes treated as a very important object like kestrels jumpsuit did)
peregrine had a LOT of doubt in her abilities, especially early on. she barely scraped past the temple of trials and talked cameron out of the final fight, something which she thinks about a lot. she wonders if she really should be the one searching for the geck.
Shiva Corvus
the second ever fallout character i made, one of my funniest moments was me finding out i had actually made my courier the same age as her, to which these messages came to be:
she took after her dad a LOT. she always had an interest in medicine, science, and helping others, so it came as no surprise when the goat test declared her as another vault medical assistant
shiva, especially when younger, would talk about the idea of leaving the vault to offer help to people on the surface. james tried to shoot down that idea VERY fast
as the medical assistant, shiva was actually taught a lot more than she wouldve been at that time as james was trying to set her up with everything she would need to know to hopefully take his place (or be jonas' assistant) when he left the vault
her last name is the genus crows fall under. i ended up associating crows with her because of the "one for sorrow" rhyme, which i found out was actually originally about magpies but i had first heard it as counting crows so the crow theme stuck
while caring a lot for others, she was also very easy to anger, alongside feeling that fighting someone was perfectly fine if they deserved it in her eyes. she got into a lot of fights with butch and his friends when younger, and after project purity was taken held a lot of anger towards the enclave and attacked them whenever she could. while in the vault butch every once in a while would come into the clinic while she was working to mess with her knowing she couldnt do anything back (damn you hippocratic oath and general healthcare code of ethics! /j)
thinking of the enclave, after they come in she immediately got power armor training from the brotherhood, nuked a random enclave patrol, and stole their power armor. she continued using anything stolen from them to the very end of the game. she thought her ass was DONE FOR when she got ambushed by them in vault 87 knowing she was equipped entirely with stolen enclave equipment.Â
shiva was the greatest example of being too stubborn to die. she was close to death SO MUCH (probably her 3 luck /j) but would always push through somehow
about that, she keeps the original non-broken steel ending of the game and dies after turning on the purifier (the pitt and point lookout ARE canon for her though, just fall at some point during the main story, most likely between the time after trouble on the homefront and searching vault 87)
Callie Harris
she originated from me wanting to play broken steel but wanting shiva to stay dead in the story 💔💔💔
she grew up in vault 101, amata and shiva were her best friends
her name comes from callie splatoon and the harris' hawk. the callie part is actually because shiva originated as a splatoon character who was an octarian soldier who befriended callie during splatoon 2s story mode, and it was just a silly reference to that. she holds no other connections to callie cuttlefish
she has always been protective, very often also getting into fights with the tunnel snakes while growing up. this also affected her goat outcome and she ended up in vault security
the day shiva had to escape the vault, she tried to lead some security guards on a wild goose chase through the vault to give shiva time to get out. she was also in amatas group wanting to open the vault, and actually stole some gear from the security storage to protect them
after amata became the overseer and the vault was opened, callie left to start exploring the wasteland herself. at some point outside she meets back up with shiva and they travel together for a while
callie joined the brotherhood of steel and started training around the time shiva leaves for shenanigans in the pitt and point lookout. she shows enough potential to be let into the lyons pride too (first pride initiate to not die a horrible death /j)
she was involved in the battle for project purity + spent the two weeks afterwards waiting in the medical unit of the citadel by shiva (but like i said, she dies. skill issue /j)Â
she gets promoted to a knight afterwards and then goes on to take the lone wanderers role in broken steel
after maxson becomes the elder it becomes clear that hes taking it in a different direction than elder lyons, of which lyons' was the one callie had joined the brotherhood to support. by the time of fallout 4 callie has left the brotherhood, but kept all of her gear and continues wandering the wasteland to protect anyone she finds
i havent had much time to develop this more but callie, amata, and shiva all had crushes on each other for a long time. nothing ever gets to come of it, NONE of them ever admit any feelings
Cillian Osprey
my very first fallout character!!! she actually originally was a splatoon oc (new agent 3) who i made my courier after a bit of playing as a joke, and now theyre the more developed cillian. whoopsies
as is probably usual for couriers she got some wacky amnesia from benny, she doesnt remember many life events before the delivery. they really dont mind it though for most of the story, until lonesome road aw yeahhh
she used to be skilled with pistols before the head injury, afterwards found them more difficult. they still tried to use guns for a while until the Straight Razor Incident. that was when they got attacked by a random raider outside of nipton, ran out of ammo, and resorted to just rushing them with a random straight razor they had (actual thing that happened to me in game). this was the moment cillian switched to being purely melee for the most part
their main weapon is the super sledge oh, baby!!! after old world blues they also start using christines sniper a lot
mentioning dlcs, in cillians version of the story they all come after the second battle of hoover dam, and VERY different order for the most part. for her it goes main story -> honest hearts -> old world blues -> dead money -> lonesome road
shes also my strongest character with a full 10 strength
her last name is a remnant from her splatoon oc days, i like to say she saw an osprey in a book and thought it and the name was cool and thus decided to make it thatÂ
they sided with the ncr but arent really on any side id say. they dont feel like theyre really fit to lead an independent vegas for example
for a faction they most definitely are allies with, they are with the followers of the apocalypse!! they actually also hold a good amount of medical knowledge (had both a great and terrible time in big mt researching lobotomization) and after the entire story remains a courier with the followers!!Â
theyre good friends with all of the companions but especially veronica. veronica taught her most of what she knows about unarmed fighting and they just probably got up to plenty of shenanigans together
Nora Sparrow
ill be so honest she makes the least sense of anyone here probably. my fallout 4 opinions are all over the place and i probably will eventually deviate from canon a LOT as i make more stuff about it
she actually holds a small resemblance to me because i decided to try to make the character look like me at first, but once i was deeper into the main quest i finally decided to just make her into a separate character and tried to change some details. she still has my nose and eye color thoughÂ
she isnt a lawyer in my version!! my nora instead also has a military background, first as a sniper and then later becoming a power armor engineer
that plays a lot into how she is after leaving vault 111 too. she mainly uses a sniper rifle (which i named the mind opener) and occasionally anything else on the off chance of running out of ammo for her main weaponÂ
nora has a hugeee interest in power armor. she has an entire collection in sanctuary hills and tinkers with it a lot (its kinda one of her connections to her old life LMAO)
she actually usually introduces herself as just sparrow (especially as the general of the minutemen) to the point a good amount of people think sparrow is her first name
piper romance. i ❤️ piperÂ
she joined the brotherhood for a bit. mostly for the free t-60. but she did think they sounded good for a while until eventually thinking "okayyy theyre a little extreme" and basically stopping going to them (outside of occasional prydwen visits for the shop)
despite that she never technically left them. after the minutemen blow up the institute she eventually visited the prydwen again and was immediately called to talk to a very angry maxson. she really did try to keep the relationship between the minutemen + bos stable but was unsuccessful. cue artillery fire on the prydwenÂ
name wise had the absolute least thought. i kept nora because i think its pretty and sparrow was from when i was playing as basically myself, didnt want to just go with robin, and thought "well sparrow sounds nice too"Â
shes also a silver shroud fan. she had a decent amount of fun pretending to be him early on in the quest
probably wouldve added more doodles but i hit the mobile image limit and didnt feel like sending a bunch to myself on a different platform to get past it LMAOOOOO
the longer i spend in my fallout brainrot the more i want every person in existence to know about all my characters I JUST WANNA TALK ABOUT THEM!! BUT IM ALSO TOO NERVOUS TO YAP ABOUT THEM TO ANYONE OUTSIDE OF LIKE ONE FRIEND!!!
dont mind how obvious it is that red and nora were drawn on different canvases and i just slapped them on there. if anyone seeing this is curious enough about anyone feel free to ask questions LMAOOOO (i will say ive also yapped about most of them an ungodly amount on their artfight profiles)
