Seems that the Dov are having a pleasant conversation among each other, exchanging stories and jokes alike.

my piece for the @tes-gala !!

extra details:

Teyaometli (Lover Sign):

Based loosely on Xochiquetzal, the Mexica goddess of fertility, sexuality (also associated with the moon), I added the flowers and based the bright colors of his outfit as an homage to her. The little capelet is based off the one she has in depictions, while the emblem is the Lover's Sign constellation. His sandals are also the center part of the glyph for the Morning Star in Mexica codexes. On his armored loin cloth, is the hieroglyph for movement, turned 90 degrees. He also has a painted Star of Azura on his face as homage to her.

Miraak (Lady Sign):

His cape is based off the depiction of Dibella in Atmoran artwork, made to look like a moth as homage to Lady Dibella herself. The silver is mostly based on (what I could find) Men-of-Kreath designs, in various shades of silvery blue to represent the shining stars, while the cut of the robe is reminiscent of Dibella's Atmoran depictions.

The pearls embedded on his robes and the horns of his crown are made to give the shape of the Lady Sign constellation.

Dar'Jados (Steed Sign):

Made to be easy to move in to represent the swiftness of the Steed. The rings on one of his thigh guards (forgot the word oops); the striped cut of fabric; the rings on his right thigh guard; Azura's star and the moon that clicks his cape together; his pauldron; and the end of his cape are all subtle stars that make up the Steed Constellation.

TRUST my tes gala piece will be done they just have me in purgatory (work)

[stan-bott]

wildly different tastes in fictional characters <3

[sepulchritude]

I love seeing people’s picrew art styles because you can just look at them and be like

“You read homestuck and it was a big part of your life for a few years, you’re not into steven universe but you did watch it, and you had an intense black butler phase in middle school and doodled their eyes over and over again in your spiral notebooks”

[sepulchritude]

Art is the biggest snitch ever man like have you ever read a fanfic and been like “Oh the author is working through some trauma here”

Or when people rec songs/shows/fics and you suddenly know everything you need to know about who they are as a person?

Like I know art is inherently an attempt to make others understand what is going on inside our lonely little heads but sometimes the mortifying ordeal of being known just slips in there while you’re not looking

New ask game: Make super specific assumptions about me based on my art syle

[stan-bott]

this game has a chokehold on me

[tes-gala]

I had not considered the timing of the gala for our university students. I'm considering pushing back the date? Perhaps late May/early June?

Which would you prefer?

I'm a student; change the date

I'm a student; keep the date

I'm not a student; change the date

I'm not a student; keep the date

Indifferent

[The courier delivers you a gold-filigreed envelope - in it are two cards. You read the first.]

House Nivulirel Extends an Invitation To Our Esteemed Guests,

To the Esteemed and the Enigmatic, Once each year, when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest and the heavens draw close enough to whisper, House Nivulirel opens its ancient halls for a celebration written in starlight. Start Date: 3rd of Second Seed Duration: One Week’s Time, from Sundas to Loredas (though your stay need not span the full length of the revelry) Theme: [Constellations & Birthsigns] We finish the week by encouraging total creative freedoms to our patrons on Loredas. Attire: Embody the sign that shaped you — or the one you dare to claim For seven nights beneath a sky mapped in silver fire, the halls of Nivulirel shall transform into a living zodiac. The Warrior may clash in glittering spectacle. The Mage may bend light into impossible forms. The Thief may vanish between shadow and star. Each sign shall have its hour. Each star its witness. Expect feasts inspired by the heavens, performances that chart the rise and fall of destiny, and chambers devoted to each Birthsign’s myth and mystery. New wonders will be unveiled with each passing dusk, as the constellations wheel overhead and the firmament itself becomes our stage. Only those who receive this invitation shall be granted passage. Look to the sky. It has already marked you. House Nivulirel awaits your presence.

[You move to the next card.]

Due to the failure of one of our scribes, we lost part of the full guest list. If you would be so kind to help us find the missing guests, we would forever be in your debt.

[What shall you do?]

[Accept] [Decline]

Hello, hello!

How are we feeling about a new TES Gala event for 2026? 👀 We'll need to decide on this year's theme soon. I was thinking of running it around the same time as the Met Gala this year. (Early May)
