Tried a new outfit on my Skyrim OC Noir and she looked so good/natural in it I had to make an edit of her with a cool pose!

I couldn't decide which one I liked best out of the holiday screenshot greeting cards I put together so why not both? I sadly didn't get the chance to dress up Noir last year but this year, she's all dolled up and ready for snuggles by the campfire with Bishop! I wish you all the best this holiday and the coming year!

Sadly I couldn't do anything about the bloom on Bishop's face but lets just say he's all aglow after enjoying some of that 'extra' special eggnog or perhaps some holiday mead or ale. I also forgot the exclamation point in the paired one but meh, this still turned out pretty cute! So Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas from Noir and Bishop!

Been enjoying playing Skyrim again so I took some screenshots of Noir and Bishop hanging out in her hidden cave home which is a lot cozier than it sounds and made a quick collage.

I touched up a couple of my drawings of Noir but this one needed a bit of extra work so I may have gone a bit nuts with it. I was going to redraw Cael as well for the full drawing but maybe I will some other time. Original:

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the photos used in this collage, only the drawing of Noir herself.

I was mostly just messing around with some cool collage templates in an online editor and decided to use it to make an aesthetic one for Noir's 3 major points in life, so why not start at the beginning?

Past (Left): Noir grew up in a small tribal village tucked away in the jungles of the Tenmar Forest back in Elsweyr as the subspecies or breed of a Dagi Raht Khajiit who are born when Masser is waning and Secunda is new. She was born with golden eyes and an unusual coat of pure black fur along with powerful magic she could use to summon fire or use for healing, although Noir didn't realize she was born with the rare gift of magic among their kind until after she went to live with her aunt and her clan who lived in a much more primal clan setting after the tragic deaths of her parents during a hunt. But since Noir was so young when it happened she hardly remembers her parents which may be a blessing since Noir was able to live happily with her aunt until she was at least 13 and that's when her life changed forever, bringing her far to the north of Tamriel to Skyrim.

Present (Center):

This is the one I usually play as the most in Skyrim since she's the fully realized version of Noir after several updates with her hair and armor. Character-wise, Noir is a playful woman but a fierce fighter and I originally based her look off a black panther as seen on the bottom left, her favorite place to travel is the Rift because of the aspen trees and abundance of them in general which reminds her of her birthplace in Elsweyr on the bottom right, she loves reading when she can find the time (or discarded books lolz) and writing in her journal, and finally Noir's all time favorite treat is snowberries!

Future (Right):

Finally we have Noir's future self which is basically who she becomes after beating Alduin. First of all, Noir cuts her hair once she realized it was easier than keeping it tied back all the time to keep it out of her face in windy weather or during a battle and secondly, three of these actually barely relate to her at all and are mostly about Noir's traveling companion Bishop who eventually starts to take his relationship with her more seriously after giving Noir his ring. Well ok one of these still relates to Noir since she's also a hunter and can use a bot but she prefers her daggers or a crossbow. Also, the bottom right panel is supposed to represent Bishop's wolf Karnwyr but I wasn't able to find one that looked more playful so I went for an actual wolf image that at least looked pretty close and was in the right pose. And finally, the top right one is mostly about Noir fully accepting that her home is in Skyrim, not Elsweyr anymore even though that's where she was born since she's made a place for herself her with friends and someone she loves dearly in Bishop who needs to just propose already!

This is just Noir's part of the drawing with Bishop so you can see her hat better.

Noir is as free-spirited and wild as they come with a burning passion within and a thirst for adventure, but nothing could have prepared her to find out she's the legendary Dragonborn let alone the unusual encounter she had with a certain ranger named Bishop who seems to have taken a liking to her. But, will he be able to win her heart? Or is it truly as untamable as her spirit..?

It feels like forever since I’ve actually updated this story but I’m excited to resume it! I just hope more people will read it and give it a chance as I progress further into the story of how Noir and Bishop met this time around outside of how it’s set up in the Skyrim Romance Mod. In the meantime, I may take the opportunity to update some of my fanart of this precious khajiit girl of mine too. This is the casual outfit shes borrowing in this chapter by the way.

I couldn't sleep last night since I had a lot on my mind so instead of only redrawing Noir's main outfit I drew all four of them. So on the far left we have her past outfit (didn't draw the light armor version since I'm not sure which armor pieces she wore) that Noir originally wore when she was brought to Skyrim from Elsweyr against her will, then we have her first main outfit for warmer weather that combines 3 different armor mods, next we have the armor she wears in colder weather, and finally we have her fully realized Dragonborn outfit that she wears in cold weather from then on and the previous armor is reduced to a casual outfit. The biggest difference in her final version though is just that she cuts her hair shorter at that point, hence the reason why I zoomed in on those.
