Is it okay to incorporate your designs of Nerevar's scars in character art?

YES!! id be honored, i also made a reference picture of them (i didnt care too much for anatomy or bodytype here)

Can u post ur speed paints?

i dont do speedpaints because on my program you have to record manually and when i work on my pieces i often take breaks and have to stop the recording, i get distracted easily leave for 15 minutes to do whatever then come back to paint some more and this happens a lot, although i can try to make a portrait or something faster in one sitting later if its my authenticity that is in question here

but i do also have a lot of wips and all of my krita files, so heres a detailed process for one of my paintings:

idea sketch

more refined

final sketch

colored layer 1 (the canvas sides are cut due to me expanding the canvas later to add the frame, below you see how the color layer was originally)

lineart

heres some progress reports from my instagram (dont mind the comments lol):

and heres also a 3d layout of the scene i used as reference:

So yeah thats what i have to show for my process and i have pics like this for almost all of my pieces (if i didnt accidentally merge stuff) im showing this one since its by far most complicated work ive made, i try to paint in a structured manner first planning the image out thoroughly in a draft before moving it onto canvas, but most of my hours are spent really just sitting there rendering and getting distracted every few minutes, i hope this makes up for the lack of a speedpaint, i can also give sketches of my most recent works for more proof if requested, though id rather not give away everything here

Hi! I've gotten into MTG with my friends lately and I'm building a deck around Minthara. The card art uses her beta design and I don't really like it, do you mind if I use your art for my own proxy like this? (Your username is in the artist credits part of the card)

You are allowed to use it, just do not ever sell it, thank you C:

I adore how much you adore voryn. recently got into your blog. any opinon on his dumbass 'canon' shitbeard ash vampire face under his mask? i prefer achingly beautiful man whos been scorned by existence. a undead painting of tragic fate. But whenever i see the texture under the mask i laugh at how doofy he looks.

i dunno if its just texture reuse or intentional, but its funny how almost no one accepts that version of him.

For your comfort if the mask is removed his face isnt the generic ash vampire face, but he infact has no face at all, its just a gaping hole due to it missing a mesh

I do dislike the texture though and i think its just reused like it is with every other ash vampire, so i think of the design less as a true visual of dagoth ur and more like an attempt to generally get the house dagoth leaders vibe across. I love the concept for what we have, but i do find some execution of it boring, personally im not into having yet another videogame villain who has this on-steroids matcho body type, and there couldve been more cultural details added apart from just beards and crowns, all done without overcrowding it

Of course, i also portray him like i do in my own art simply because its what i find pretty and i think fits with my ideas for him. Great emphasis was put on him being a sorcerer and he is still very much a chimer and not a dwemer, so his design should reflect that. Also i think effeminate men are neat LOL and him having a unique face makes him feel more real

Hey hey! Mighta picked up a post of mine! So, say, do you know the answer to the riddle?

Is this about the haiku poetry post? No i do not know, i thought that it could link to the nature of nirn itself (anu/padomay?) or lorkhan, but that doesnt seem viable, do tell the answer if you wish to though C: Also i love these sorts of things even if im not smart enough to understand it, keep it up
