[Image Description: A tall, muscular man is sitting on a dark wooden chair within a large wooden fortress. The wall of is made of the individual logs with only a single window visible from the man’s angle in which daylight spills out. Hanging from one of the wooden pillars holding up the roof/ceiling is a dark red tapestry with golden embroidery of an axe. The man is somewhat hunched over, arms folded over his lap and legs spread out wide. His armor is a dark, sleek metal with fur beneath the shoulder pads and making up the sleeves and lower half. There is slight ornate lines craved on the armor and the form of a wolf at its crest. The man is older with a weathered face featuring slight wrinkles. His right eye is blind with a single scar stretching from his brow to his jaw. There’s two smears of blood-red paint on both sides of his cheeks. His brows are furrowed and a scowl is imprinted on his face. His hair is thin and greying. End Description.]

 My brain went “oh you’re struggling to draw characters like Skjor? Maybe draw him right now, and here I am :’)

While it’s not exactly what I initially expected, I had a lot of fun working on it! He’s not the nicest member of the Companions but I do really enjoy him and his little part in the Rosieverse! 

Fun Fact for Skjor !

He knew Farkas and Vilkas’s adoptive father, Jergen during the Great War when the two were stationed at the same camp under the command of the same captain before Jergen was promoted and traveled up the ranks. It was then that Jergen proposed Skjor one day joined, remarking that the man’s strength would serve him well in the Companions (but maybe not so much his temper...) While Jergen didn’t immediately consider it after the war ended, when he came upon hard times financially, he managed to swallow his pride and join. While he rarely admits it, it was one of the greatest decisions of his life. 

While Jergen wasn’t around by the time Skjor did join (He only learned of his death when he joined, asking where the man was to be met with a mourning silence) he did manage to meet a pair of young twins Jergen had taken in. Farkas and Vilkas were still younger, (maybe 9-12 years? Within that range) and while Vilkas had embraced the Companions lifestyle and was working past the events of the twin’s kidnapping, shy and insecure about his struggles reading and confidence with his clear scars. Skjor was a major turning point for Farkas’s confidence however, seeing someone else with the same blindness in his right eye and a similar scar. He ended up becoming a uncle figure for Farkas, and it wasn’t too unusual to see the young boy following behind him curiously, occasionally asking a question. Skjor eventually asked, “So are you just going to keep following me around like a pup or am I going to teach you how to swing a sword?” And the rest is history!

Skjor would never admit it, but it wasn’t too bad taking care of the whelp

I thought I’d do a fun little post elaborating on the various specifics and fun ideas involved in the Rosieverse! I think the Companions are such a fun group to look into, and are easily one of my favorite within Skyrim!

I’d like to see about drawing the Silver Circle’s various werewolf forms other than Farkas’s especially since working a little bit on my art style! But I still think characters like Skjor are ridiculously difficult to draw if I’m being honest

Also! Shout out to @laughable-illusions for letting me info-dump ideas about dealing with werewolf armor! He had some really helpful and interesting ideas like the werewolf blood which I ended incorporating! Check out his posts! :)

Image Description Below!

[Image Description: From left to right, top to bottom there is a side profile of Farkas, a muscular white man with long dark-brown hair, thick browns, and a beard with a neutral expression. He is in his human form and the figure beside him is his werewolf form’s appearance. The wolf has a large muzzle and a thick coat of fur that transitions from light brown along the neck to a dark, almost umber brown around his ears and reaching to the tip of his nose. His cheeks however, are a light cream, and their eyes are exactly the same to their human form, a dark grey. The text beside it says:

“Often aspects of human body appear within werewolf form (scars, hair color, and eye color)

“Longer haired people will often have fluffier fur.”

The next piece beside it includes an example of werewolf teeth, consisting of long, serrated fangs revealed with an wide-opened mouth. Further to the right is an example of the same werewolf in human form, with less intense fangs but still sharper and serrated than the average human. The text around the piece, in order says:

“teeth in werewolf form”

“teeth serrated for tearing flesh”

“jaw capable of opening extremely wide, some even actually unhinging in process”

For Human form:

“teeth still extremely serrated upon returning to human form”

the middle of the drawing assortment features two characters interacting, the first is an old man with a heavily wrinkled face and long grey hair that reaches his shoulders with a beard decorating his face. He appears tired, sweat dripping from his face. The other is a woman with blue face-paint resembling claw marks and bright red hair. She appears nervous and somewhat guilty. There is text pointing towards the old man stating: “SO, so tired.” There is also text pointing towards the woman stating: “Needs 3-5 new sets of armor a month sometimes.” The two are having an exchange with the woman saying:

“H-Hey Eorlund...”

The old man says:

“Give me the armor.”

Separate from the two’s exchange is a fun fact text saying:

“Eorlund is obsessed with finding a metal or magical property that will perpetually stretch and survive the growth spurts.”

On the bottom of the sketch is an older white man with scars and a weathered face. He has little hair, but what remains is grey and is wearing a silver set of heavy armor. The text beside him reads “before transforming.” Next to him is an image of the man after shifting out of his werewolf form and retrieving his armor. It’s tight-fitting and uncomfortable, revealing chunks of skin and the shoulder pads even popping off, unable to wrap around the older man’s muscles. The text next to him reads:

“Most non-flexible armor removed beforehand”

“More like an air-tight crop top after.”

Next to this sketch is a vial full of a bubbling red liquid. The text reads:

“Enchantments and potions are usually applied for the armor to be more flexible and survive the next few transformations (especially if unplanned)”

“Most potions incorporate werewolf blood for it’s flexibility (Or to break and then merge back together)”

End text]

Hi there! It’s nice to see you back!

Aw thank you so much! I'm so glad you're excited to see my posts again! I'm happy to be back!

[dovakhiindrabbles]

It’s now come to my attention that I actually have to ,, write about Rosie’s story so if y’all have any other questions about the Rosieverse before I start working on it let me know !

[dovakhiindrabbles]

It's taken me long enough to get to these three! Honestly, while I've been so excited for them, I wanted to have their stories and involvement in the Rosiverse figured out beforehand! Now, I think I've got it mostly figured out and I'm a big fan of these kids and I hope you all will be as well!

Just so you all know, their ages are arranged but their ages in which Rosie left her home for Skyrim!

From left to right:

Dalil (6 years old)

- Just as much as a fun middle-child as his mother! Dalil can often be found toting around his little brother in a makeshift swaddle

- VERY fascinated by vampires and the occult, which proud and excited father Isran took as Dalil showing interest in the Dawnguard

- Because of this Dalil is usually following beside his father or his father is seeking him out with the latest trinkets or treasures he found on his latest hunt (Isran loves the little delighted gasp his son makes at the sight of it)

- However, Dalil actually would like to study living vampires (instead of the dead ones his father will let him see when he's older) in fact, he'd really like to meet one (Something Isran isn't anywhere near ready to handle)

- will be INCREDIBLY excited to meet Serana one day

- Otherwise, Dalil is a bit of a chatterbox, often excitedly prattling off to his sister and family during evenings when he and his father come back from studying

- Despite their eventual differences, Dalil and Isran are dearly close, and Isran has even audibly once said when looting a vampire corpse that "Dalil would love this!" Before showing it off to the rest of the hunting party

Elyas (1-year-old)

- A baby so there isn't too much to say about his current thoughts and personality, but he is a giggly little baby

- Hardly fussy either! He even enjoys traveling with his brother in his swaddle, despite the bumps and tripping

- Will later share a passion for tea, similar to his grandfather that will end up carving out his path in life!

- Hanee and Ehsan dote incessantly on him, and Indeela has a new elaborate tunic designed for him every day

Mariam (7 years old)

- The eldest sibling and only daughter between the two! Isran often hovered over her and fretted constantly when she was first born as a first-time father.

- Aisha, being a first-time mother was also ridiculously stressed, and would often visit the sea with Mariam beside Solitude during nights to escape the stress of being cooped up indoors.

- From this, Mariam's earliest memories are of the waves brushing beneath her feet, the sand slipping in-between her fingers, and the sound of the ocean rippling against itself.

- She now adores the ocean and is obsessed with all things nautical

- IElf found nowhere else, always check the docks, because Mariam can usually be found with a notepad and pencil asking the passing travelers for questions and advice. (She's earned the nickname 'little sailor' for it)

- She'll usually play a game with Makna, in which she'll throw a dart at a map of Tamriel and then describe whatever place the dart lands on. (It's often can be difficult to tell what Mariam is saying because of how excited she is to show off her knowledge)

Fun Facts for the Trio (Mainly relating to their relationship with Sister Rosie!)

- Mariam grew up considering Rosie her oldest sister because of the bond between Rosie and her father, as a result, the two often refer to each other as 'sister'

- Mariam also looks up to Rosie GREATLY, because of her seeking out to travel and Skryim and actually going out and doing it. Rosie has promised to one day let her and Mariam sail across the world

- Fascinated by the occult, Dalil is of course fascinated by Rosie and her strange friend group consisting of all sorts of fairy-tale creatures. Rosie is perfectly giddy to introduce her 'little brother' to her confusing entourage of friends.

- Rosie is always seeking out little gifts and toys for Elyas. The family often jokes about the small treasure pile amassing for him throughout Rosie's adventures. At some point in his life, he'll create his own unique tea flavor as a gift to his 'sister'

Image Description down below!

[Image Description: three children are sitting on a light brown wooden floor behind a wooden mauve-cushioned sofa in which a dark purple floral pattern is imprinted on the cushions. Two circular pillows are situated on both sides. Behind the sofa is a trio of tall, dark brown bookshelves in which the books are arranged in a gradient pattern from yellow to pink, none of which have titles on their spines and are of varying sizes. On the sofa is a basset hound, old and grey on his muzzle but otherwise of a light brown shade. He's sleeping soundly on the sofa with one ear still pressed up against the left cushion he's laying against. The three children from left to right is a brown-skin black boy, six years old with dark brown afro-textured hair that falls behind his ears in tight curls. He's smiling with sparkling black eyes. He is wearing a warm, pink shirt with a collar and puffed sleeves, with brown suspenders holding up his tan pants and dark brown, almost black shoes. He's sitting cross-legged and holding a baby in his lap, no older than one. The baby is a dark-skin black boy with an orange tunic draped over him and a small, dark brown afro. His eyes are black and he is smiling excitedly, looking up at his two siblings. The final sibling is a dark-skin black girl, eight years old with black afro-textured hair consisting of tight curls that reach her shoulders. She is wearing a tan jumper and cream-grey shirt, with a collar and rolled-up sleeves. Her boots are a dark brown, with her legs folded over one another and hands pressed against her knees. She is smiling with sweet, dark eyes. End Description.]

[dovakhiindrabbles]

[Image Description: Two characters are behind a yellow to red gradient with light yellow dots outlining their figures. One of the figures is a tall white man who towers above the other person. He is muscular with defined arms and chest. His hair is brown and shaggy, falling over his face and shoulders. His expression is tired from little sleep but he is smiling softly, a set of scars over his right eye leaving him blind. He is wearing a tan sleep-shirt and pants and has a somewhat scruffy beard. The other character is a biracial black woman, much smaller and held close by his hand on her waist. She has dark brown hair that falls in corkscrew curls that reach her mid-back. She is wearing one of the man’s shirt’s that hangs very loosely over. She is smiling warmly and appears much more energized than her companion with dark brown eyes smiling brightly. She is waving excitedly. Between the two is a soft red text reading ‘We’re back!’. End Description]

No better time like the present to show back up after months of total silence! I’ve been super busy but I haven’t stopped thinking about these dorks or the world I started building up for them! I’m trying to get back into hobbies and things that I genuinely enjoy for myself and make me happy so I’d like to do my best to pick up where I left off! 

I’ve been working a teeny tiny bit on my art style to better express the design ideas I have and I don’t know if it’s too obvious but I made Farkas HUGE and Rosie itty bitty which is a pairing dynamic I’m a complete sucker for -- BUT I ended up coming up with a fun idea to better explain it so new headcannon for Rosieverse I’ll better elaborate on in the future:

Werewolves in Skyrim are notoriously large with old fables recalling the largest beasts to reach the top of trees and the roofs of cottages. While those stories might be slightly dramatic, werewolves are gigantic, in both their beast and human forms. Regardless of the height a person starts as, once they take in beast blood and shift into their wolf form for the first time, the person will gradually grow more and more over time -- often feeling ‘growing pains’ the day after their hunts that last throughout the next few days. Height continuously increases with each transformation and as far as Companion memory goes, no member of the Silver Circle has ever stopped growing. As a result, the Companions if nothing else, are known for their terrifyingly gigantic members and the tiny whelps always following behind. 

The tallest members of the Companions that Rosie meets are Skjor and Aela, who transform the most out of all other members, Skjor is a humongous 6′9 giant while Aela still towers at 6′7, quickly gaining against her senior member who both have a bet going of who will reach 7′0 sooner. 

Farkas, upon meeting Rosie, was a hulking 6′4 while Vilkas is roughly the same (technically, 6′3 1/2, giving Vilkas the excuse to always round up) By the time the two begin realizing their feelings for one another Farkas is easily 6′6 and has almost daily headaches from bumping into the top of door frames. (Rosie will then pick up the habit of pulling him down to avoid the constant bumping)

Rosie stays tiny because of her dragon soul that rejected the beast blood and subsequently forcefully and violently caused Rosie to reject the werewolf transformation. As a result, she’s inherently unable to become a werewolf or any other supernatural being -- dragon souls are unsurprisingly prideful and refuse to share under any circumstance. Rosie however, is content as a 5′3 honorary member of the Silver Circle.

Anyhow I hope you’ve enjoyed this little return post and are looking forward to future posts! I know I certainly am :)

[dovakhiindrabbles]

[ Images Description: The art features multiple drawings of two separate characters. One is a mixed-race black woman named Rosie with dark brown hair mainly consisting of tight corkscrew curls. Her eyes are bright and brown. The other character is a tall, muscular white man named Farkas with wavy dark brown hair and a set of heavy metal armor and fur arm braces. He has a dark beard and black paint over his eyes, hiding a scar on his right eye which is blind. In the top half of the piece, the man is in a werewolf form, mainly consisting of a deep brown on his upper half and lighter cream colors on his chest and inner arm. He appears distraught and as if he just left a fight, blood pooling and pouring from his mouth. In the next part just slightly below and to the left of the first, the man is now human, without a shirt and hugging the woman tightly, he seems afraid and the woman is comforting him. Dialogue reads: 

Rosie: “Hey, hey! It’s alright. I’m here, I’m safe, and so are you... you’re okay.” 

Farkas: I didn’t hurt you, did I?” 

Rosie: “Of course not. I know you’d never. I trust you.” 

Farkas: “Good.” 

Continuing description: The bottom half of the piece has the two interacting. Rosie appears excited, facing Farkas with her arms held up as if she’s explaining something. Farkas is listening, smiling, and watching adoringly. There are little hearts above his head and a happy exclamation point above Rosie. His arms are folding across his chest and he is not speaking. To the left of that are a set of mini versions of the two, featuring only their top half as Rosie becomes embarrassed and Farkas reassures her, both of them are embarrassed, blushing, and smiling, and a heart is visible between them. Dialogue reads:

Rosie: “Ah, but I’m sorry! I’m rambling”

Farkas: “No I-I like listening to you. I uh -- like your voice.” 

Rosie: “Oh... Thank you.” 

The background is dusk, with blue fading to a deep purple. There are the silhouettes of trees behind them and stars in the sky. End Description. ]

What a better way to pop back in than with some Rosie and Farkas? 

Anyways, hi! I hope you’ve been doing well! I’ve been aching to draw these two again for a while and it’s been a wip for the longest time !!

There isn’t much for me to explain with this piece -- it’s mainly set within the period in which the two are still close friends but in a mutual pining stage (the best stage to write)

As a whole, however, at this point in time, the two are typically regarded as inseparable -- wherever one goes the other isn’t usually too far behind, and as a result, Farkas can almost always be calmed out of his werewolf state by Rosie. While Rosie herself can never become a werewolf because of her dragon soul, she’s considered an ‘honorary wolf’ by most of the Companions and travels and hunts with them in their wolf forms. 

To explain the bottom part, Rosie is very excitable and almost bouncy! She’s got a lot of thoughts appearing in her head and she’s always had the habit of spilling those thoughts out just to put it out in the world. Especially when she first arrives in Skyrim and most of those thoughts are questions, Farkas is all the happier to give her answers -- even if they’re pretty short answers. As time goes by, Farkas comes to really enjoy listening to Rosie talk, all her stories, and jokes he loves every bit of it. Rosie doesn’t ever have to worry about ‘rambling’ with him, and that comfort helps the two bring out the best in one another!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed and have a wonderful day! Thank you <3

Any art requests or rosieverse requests? I haven’t been drawing nearly as much as usual and I’d appreciate the requests to get my inspiration going! Have a lovely day <3

[dovakhiindrabbles]

Hi! I just wanna say I appreciate your writings and artwork. It actually inspired me to do Skyrim writings of my own! So thanks for what you do!

Aw, thank you !! I’m so glad it’s inspired you !! If you ever feel comfortable I’d love to see your writings !! I’m sure they’re absolutely wonderful :)

[dovakhiindrabbles]

❤ Makna ❤

[ Image Description: a dark-skin black woman with short afro is centered in the drawing. She is wearing a dress with a white top section and puffy sleeves. The bottom part, beginning at her chest is a light maroon and goes to just before her knees. Her arms are behind her back and she is smiling with shining brown eyes. The background is a dark yellow circle with white roses lining its edges and rows of lighter yellow dots. End description. ]

Been waaaaaay too long since I’ve drawn Makna ! I just love her to bits and pieces I just had to draw the eldest child of the Allam family again!

While Makna, as the leading metalsmith in the family, is usually associated with her work clothes and heavy boots, doesn’t actually spend most of her time in work clothes in boots. (She’d hate to upset her mother by getting soot and ash all over the furniture!) In truth, Makna greatly enjoys wearing dresses and similarly cute clothes! Most cool afternoons Makna can be found with her mother going through the market in such a dress, and she looks even more beautiful every time.

Makna’s love of dresses originally stems from watching her mother and later Indeela sew and whenever the two needed a model Makna was always the first to volunteer. If someone were to ask where she got her gowns she’d go “Really? My sister made them!” and then lead them directly to the shop. She takes great pride in her clothing taste

Isran chose the Allam family -- it can be a little chaotic but it’s full of love, and it’s his. He wouldn’t have it any other way.

[ First Image Description: The first picture is a dark-skin black woman and a dark-skin black man. The man is wearing a heavy leather coat with gold buttons. His sleeves are rolled up to his elbow. He has a thick black beard that falls just below his chin, and thick black brows. His hair is in a buzz cut. He is lifting the woman in the drawing up, holding her by the bottom of her thighs, and she has her arms wrapped around his neck. The woman has a half-up, half-down hairstyle and her natural hair falls over her shoulders and down her back. She is wearing  a puffy pink shirt with a dark red vest. Two belts are wrapped around her midsection and she is wearing maroon trousers. The two are in love and kissing with a purple sky background and lighter clouds. There are stars twinkling behind them. End description. ]

[ Second Image Description: The second picture is the same dark-skin black man. He is still wearing his heavy leather coat with gold buttons rolled up to his elbows with a thick beard, brows, and buzzcut. He is holding a child, one arm holding her up by her legs and the other around her side and stomach to keep her steady. The child is a thirteen year old girl. She is a mixed-race black woman with lighter skin and dark brown hair tied up into afro-puffs. She has a red scarf wrapped around her neck and a puffy pink top with a lighter pink longsleeve shirt underneath. She is wearing plates of armor wrapped around her chest and arms, and dark, pale pink pants that go underneath her heavy boots. Both are smiling and their cheeks are squished together. One of the child’s arms is wrapped around the man’s back to his shoulder, the other hovering over her legs. They are happy and both consider each other dearly loved family. Behind them is an afternoon sky with fluffy white clouds and a thin lining of white dots around their figures. End description. ] 

Both of the pieces together! I genuinely had so much fun drawing these and I loved getting to expand on Isran’s relationships with these two characters -- he truly loves them both more than can be put into words.

Rosie and Khosava will be proud if frantic babysittiers for the goofball kids that may or may not be in Isran and Aisha’s future

Isran almost forgot just how wonderful love is -- and then he met a pretty lady at a shop

This is the final piece to a pair I’ve down exemplifying Isran’s reconsideration of giving families a second chance. I’ll post the two together soon enough!

All it took was one goofy kid and a pretty lady at a shop to make Isran consider families again

This’ll be part 1 to a companion piece I’ll complete tomorrow!

Hi I saw your post and just wanted to ask if you have a favorite dragon from Skyrim? Mine is Sahrotaar

Aodo you have a favorite location too?

Ooo that’s a really fun pair of questions !!! Personally, I can’t help but say it’s Paarathurnax -- I think he’s such a compelling character and I’m a sucker for mentor archetypes for me to latch onto. Otherwise, I really like Odahviing -- he’s a jerk but he’s fun!

And Oo that’s difficult for me to say when there’s such a wide variety of characters within the game’s universe! From what I remember, I really loved Nightingale’s dungeons and her special areas during the Thieves Guild Questline but I also was so incredibly fascinated by the areas created for the Dawnguard questline! 

Anyhow, thank you so much for the question, and have an amazing day! <3

[dovakhiindrabbles]

Hi!!! I saw your post and thought why not. My day was good! I finished up several assignments for a difficult class, and I was able to FaceTime with my friend who is currently quarantined. I hope your day was nice as well!

That’s absolutely wonderful!! I’m so glad you got to FaceTime with your friend and hope they’re doing well aside from the one obvious problem :) Thank you so much for sharing your day with me, it was lovely to hear
