Auri-El (wip)

Every time I'm in the temple I stay near him with the silliest love face

(I'm just a weak mortal I can't resist divine beauty)

I like to draw him as Falmer, it suits him

M'aiq wonders if the sudden flood of Divines on Tumblr means that they have decided to lift the restraining order they gave M'aiq

Ya'll ever notice anything and you're left like "this is probably a coincidence. BUT-"

For me it has to do with Peryite, and how much his name sounds like "Pyrite" aka fools gold. Which is interesting since Akatosh, who is also a dragon, is often describes as a Golden dragon. That along with the fact some forsworn worship Peryite also as a god of time, it was just something I noticed.

But in reality it's probably this:

The "Gift of Charity" Blessing you get for giving to the poor only works if you don't pickpocket them right afterwards.

What do you take me for? Blind?

Mara, Goddess of Love

[mirror-grapefruit]

You know, considering how eerie and alien Elder Scrolls designs used to get, I wonder if anyone's done something with that when it comes to depicting the Divines.

Something I think about is how the Aedra are depicted as human and the Daedra have a little more variation but it's usually either "vaguely human" or "pretty generic looking monster". It's not bad, I just think it could be more interesting.

Take Mara for example. She's the goddess of marriage, love, and fertility yes, but she's also steeped beliefs that she is the mother of creation itself. So yes, a human depiction of her makes a lot of sense, especially wrt the people of Tamriel who probably want to see themselves a little in the gods.

But just imagine for a second:

As the goddess of something as human as love and companionship, I'm sure she'd look pretty human yeah. But as the mother of creation - something so distant, so all encompassing - she could also look much more alien and primal.

I imagine she could be bound by knots of visceral rope, to represent her connection to marriage and also her apparent refusal to exercise her immense power, or more simply her being bound to the world itself as an Aedroth.

Perhaps as well her very hands are permanently clasped to her forearms, only leaving that position if she ever had to intervene for any reason.

She's this titanic woman, who you can see yourself in because of her closeness to mortalkind. Yet also - because she birthed creation - you cannot help but see entire universes reflected in her eyes.
