Starting 2021 with Setheso/Nerevar duel pieces!
Because let's hope for a brighter future this year!
Really loved being able to draw Nerevar. I'll always seen him as some actual brick wall- just a solid, scary ripped mer with flaming red hair and storming gray eyes. When he walks towards you, you know to be nervous. However, while his voice is deep and booming, he is rather kind and gentle.
Just don't mess with his people or his friends.
Setheso is very much the same, though their kinder nature has a harder time shining through. One of the things I love about these two is the shared need to face the issues in their past, to deal with their trauma. Both know the mission: Red Mountain has crazy goth ex-friend in it working on a giant decepticon with a god heart in it. Stop him, destroy the heart, or all of Morrowind, and Tamriel, will suffer.
There's no time for tedious 'scores to settle'. But they can't avoid that topic. Sure, Nerevar can reason that the Tribunal will get theirs in the end, as the heart will be destroyed and their power taken away. So why should he be upset and bother to confront the fact his closest friends murdered and betrayed him? Sure, Setheso can reason there's no need to be mad at her parents, that their abandonment doesn't hurt her anymore. She grew up fine without them. Who needs them?
In my canon, Setheso starts to expierance random fits of rage whenever faced with so intense a scummy or backhanded individual, to the point of near murder. This all stems from both parts of the Moon and Star repressing what's hurt them for ages, with is exploding like Red Mountain now.
Face your problems, your hurts, your trauma. You don't need to defeat it, but you do need to confront it. To properly heal and move on.
Here's hoping for a much better year.
