WARNING: Graphic depiction of sexual assault below!

Personal headcanon: Curly seriously didn't understand the implicatures in Anya's words at first. That doesn't justify him, of course. Even when he finally realized what kind of monster Jimmy is, he still decided to put the truth under the rag to prevent Jimmy from getting fired and going to court, and more so to avoid any personal repercussions as the captain.

It has been sitting in my drawer since 2023... I'm not going to finish it, but I also don't want it to get lost forever ahahah

My Sotha Sil character design sketches.

Yes, he is wearing Dior. Does it make sense? No. But hey, that's the fun part of being an artist: playing dress up.

Happy New Year from your secret Santa and Ysolda, @makalyta! ✨

@scorchedcandy, thanks again for organising :)

My Secret Santa for @blackrayser

I hope you like my tiny gift, unfortunately I have been terribly busy and didn't manage to paint what I was originally planning... but I really like the "Lydia as a gentle giant" prompt. Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

"And for ourselves: we take our leave."

Probably one of my favorite moments in the Companions' questline. Honesty, there were moments in the questline that really felt... underwhelming. But this one scene in particular managed to portray grief and sadness quite well. I just wish there were more comments from the characters about their huge loss. Kodlak was like a father to the Companions, especially to Farkas and Vilkas.

And I also wanted to draw soft angsty Farkas.

"What matters is: I ordered you to kill someone, and you obeyed."

I don't get all the hate this woman gets. I mean, she isn't the only questionable character in the game (?). Real girlboss, love her. Absolute queen.

"Farewell. I'll be certain to give Brynjolf your regards." And then he didn't. Despicable. Did he want to comfort me before my death or just mock me? By the Eight, he is awful for real.

[makalyta]

Seeing Brynjolf alone at the Ragged Flagon as he brushes everyone off, stating that he's busy when he is clearly not, is... frustrating. I had to give this behavior an explanation, so I put myself in his position: Brynjolf has just handed over his life and afterlife to a Daedric Prince. Was there really no other choice to avenge the Guild, did he really have to sacrifice his freedom forever, even after death? Empty chests can be replenished with gold, a new Guildmaster can be elected, but he will never have his future back. Maybe he even starts to understand Mercer Frey's choice to betray Nocturnal. There at the tavern, drinking ale and keeping his face hidden to conceal the pain, Brynjolf realizes that there is no escape from the fate he was forced to accept.

I like to imagine that Gallus fought back when Mercer Frey attacked him in Snow Veil Sanctum, and that he is responsible for the deep scars on the man's face. Because Mercer got to live, he had all the time to convince others and himself of his own lies… but his reflection would always remind him of the cruel truth.

Found some young Mercer sketches in my drawer.

[makalyta]

Get some quick, unfinished Companions that have been sitting in my drawer for months. I should paint them again... someday...

Daggerfall and ESO cinematic inspired Mannimarco covered in vermin and surrounded by withered chrysanthemums.

Fun fuct about chrysanthemums: the meaning of the flower changes throughout the world. In many countries chrysanthemums are associated with joy, in most parts of Europe they are associated with death.

I offer you Ancano + soft daffodils and rosemary + alternative College of Winterhold plot idea: instead of just avoiding Ancano because the people in the College tell you not to trust him, you try to get closer to him to understand what he's actually in Winterhold for. After your discovery in Saarthal, you start talking to him. You become friends after a tiny quest where you have to evesdrop some conversations, he teaches you a new spell and he softens his tones towards you. He then tells you he's been roaming around the College because he knows the Archmage is up to something. You decide to help him by retrieving the Staff of Magnus, and get to know Savos' dark backstory in the process, which really gives Ancano's theories credit. And then you return to the altmer and give him the staff, just to discover he had gaslighted you the whole time: he wanted to use the Eye of Magnus for his own desires from the beginning. You can't do anything but kill him in order to save Skyrim, and his death leaves you wondering if you really were just a pawn to him, or if he felt remotely guilty for exploiting your friendship. You are never going to trust a Thalmor officer again.

I wonder what they are thinking about instead of working... Yes, I won’t paint young men. I can’t. But I hope you like them nonetheless :) Also I can’t take a good photo of my paintings, so the quality sucks as always. Meh. Selling this painting for €30 + shipping

[makalyta]

I decided to play with colors and fears in this painting of my beloved germanic men from Hetalia. Once in the fandom, always in the fandom, uh? Let me know what you think about it! Gibt es Hetalians, die aus Deutschland oder Österreich kommen? Wir könnten über diesen hübschen Männern sprechen ;)

Selling this piece for €30 + shipping

Uh hi, here you have it. Three tiny paintings have been hiding in my drawer since summer 2020. I used them as references when I wanted to draw these grumpy men. Soo yeah, guess who wanted to paint all the Pokevillains and didn't manage to do so and forgot about it and still doesn't have enough time to do that? Yeh, me. Well, time to post what little I have. These are my personal interpretations, I like them not to be super pretty and flawless (you know, like actual people).
