Artfight is happening and I am *trying* to get a couple attacks done lol.

First one is for @kanafinwean and their Thalmor agents Ornemalin and Pereld.

I am definetly a bit rusty when it comes to digital art, but I think this one came out alright

[kanafinwean]

yeah sure I'll entertain that alt history scenario

(a dominion-aligned dragonborn? well—let's see how long that lasts...)

[kanafinwean]

new horrible pointy-eared thing dropped I guess. alariste is the former sapiarch of indoctrination; an avowed party loyalist, she informed on a bunch of her colleagues when the thalmor began targeting alinor's academic institutions during their crusade against dissidents and was duly rewarded for it

trying to hammer out the finer points of what I want my thalmor government to look like...... be kind to me

[the-little-fox-in-the-box]

Y'all heard of Argonian Nerevarine.

Now get ready for... Altmer Dragonborn

I keep forgetting that the sole reason I fell in love with TES elves back in the day was because they have weird as fuck facial features and the games make little effort to make them look conventionally attractive. The only exception I can think of are the cinematic ESO trailers, which is a bit unfortunate. Like, why can't elves just be straight up ugly sometimes. I want the awful supremacist elves to look weird and creepy and nonhuman. I want the carnivorous forest elves to make me think of bugs. I want the elves that live in ash and ride insects all day to look like it too. They literally look alien and that's cool as fuck. Shoutout to everyone who draws elves that actually look strange and otherworldly. Nothing wrong with drawing your blorbos with more human features but whoever vibes with ugly elves is goated asf

[kanafinwean]

coming out as someone who has thalmor ocs (hissss booooo). anyway this is melindwe she's an evil scientist who isn't an altmeri supremacist (flesh is flesh, and all flesh is grass) so much as she simply enjoys playing god and exploiting the ideological convictions of the state she works under to secure funding for her experiments. 👍

[halo-1267]

I like the evil elfs

[undersaarthal]

I think we all have a duty to become obsessed with each other's elder scrolls ocs because the feeling when someone else thinks about your oc and their ships and their lore is like crack so if we want this to happen we gotta MAKE it happen TOGETHER.

me and the telvanni wizard I pulled by abandoning everything and everyone I've known and loved

Very rushed last-minute piece for this year's 2026 TES Gala, since—much like last year—I only learned about the event right as it was wrapping up. Curse of not being very active here, I suppose.

Here's Lovilas dressed as the Apprentice and striking a silly pose (about to cast a spell, maybe?). Outfit rationale below the cut.

Lovilas was born on the 26th of Sun's Height, making their sign that of the Apprentice. Ironic, considering it's also their job description (I suppose that means that, whatever they wear, it conforms to the theme? :P). Lovilas is a Tribunal convert(...ish; it's complicated), so the echoes of clockwork apostolicism in the headpiece and robes were intentional: as a riff on the Dwemeri characterization of the Apprentice as the Automaton, for one, as well as on Sotha Sil's patronage of artificers and mages (the Apprentice falling under the celestial jurisdiction of the Mage).

The blue gems number eleven, one for each star in the Apprentice constellation (with seven of them intended to be placed loosely according to where they fall on the charts). They are so colored as a nod to Mnemoli, again tying into Lovilas' overzealous Sehtisms (would you believe me if I said they claim Vivec as their "patron" god? lmao).

Why no staff? Well, for one, I couldn't decide on a design; secondly, the Morrowind iteration of the constellation doesn't have one, and that was good enough for me.

And that's that. Cheers!

Undergoing a bit of an Elder Scrolls renaissance atm..... here's a really old character of mine who's gone through a few iterations over the five years I've had her: Irilara, an Indoril councilor from the Second Era. Don't let her prim and proper stature fool you; she's a notorious and volatile reactionary. Her faith in the Tribunal is unquestionably devout, but her political loyalties appear divided…

Read the Second Battle of Mag Tuired recently. The LotR elfguy pipeline has reached its natural destination I guess
