My entry for the @tes-gala !!! Two of my OCs- Evander and his horse, Gaia! ..In a modern AU flavor >:)
I’m from New York and I’ve always loved seeing the MET Gala online / on TV so when I heard of this event through my friend I got so excited! There’s an element of local pride to this lol.
Explanation of their outfits below!
So like I said this is a modern AU in what I would like to imagine is somewhere in The Imperial City in Cyrodiil. For a modern Elder Scrolls AU I always imagined The Imperial City being a lot like NYC- so for the background I used a very low res image from inside the real MET Gala from years ago, blurred it a bit, and added some Imperial Legion banners hanging from the ceiling with a soft brush so it would blend in.
Evander’s outfit is kind of boring, honestly. Since this is a modern setting I wanted to root it as closely to the real MET Gala as possible- so I made an altered version of Connor Storrie’s outfit from this year’s event incorporating Evander’s star sign of The Steed onto the main outfit, and a galaxy cape that wraps around his arms.
The horse though.. she’s the main star of the show…! Or should I say moons and planet?
Her necklace is supposed to be Secunda and Masser together in an eclipsing fashion- Secunda being the smaller, top center of the pendant with Masser being represented by a larger, red bead/gem ring.
The tarp on her back is a map of Nirn on the one side facing us in the image, but on the side you can’t see there is a constellation map of all of the star signs. So kind of like the heavens being above the earth type-deal. :]
I really hope you like how this came out- it was a joy to make! I’m very glad I got to participate! 🫶✨💖
Thanks again to my friend @dark-brotherhoe for letting me know of this event!
very few games can give me the sense of comfort & nostalgia that skyrim does. there's nothing like standing on top of a mountain with secunda playing in the background while staring at the purple & blue colored auroras 🌌
