Here are the murals from observatory in TESA: Redguard, because I want more people to know about them, as they can provide an interesting insight into Dwemer culture!

There's also this creepy fella

Boo!

All the screenshots were taken from here

It's always a little awkward when people see my obsession with TES and then assume that I'm going to like whatever fantasy franchise they recommend to me just as much.

Because, you know, my favorite elements of TES are the ones it DOESN'T have in common with most other media products in the genre.

Hope I'm not annoying you with all the asks but what's your favorite thing to draw for Dram? I've been trying to get his colors to work well in my style and I've loved having the struggle! -Mellowscrolls

Don't worry, it's impossible to annoy me by talking about him :D or anything tes-related, really

Since picking colors is always a hard battle for me (and I have great respect for anyone who can enjoy this process) I think I really like his shapes (as seen here ↓)

Especially his big big eyes on the in-game model

Here's an example of how I tried to transfer them and his upturned (CUTE) ears to my style

Of course I understand the appeal of characters who never show up without their masks, but, hey, sometimes I need to see him eat some nice sweet roll or get kissed on the cheek :^) and, besides, it was a concept for this doll! The head is 3D-printed

may i join you in dram land

WAHAHAHA WELCOME WELCOME. Have our national meme

DRAM. IS SO CUTE I JUST PLAYED REDGUARD FOR THE FIRST TIME AND OMG

Yesss (I think he sometimes uses his weapons as little mirrors)

[roumanelli]

So, yeah, about my abscence. There's two reasons why:

1. My mental health and life situation — sadly, I can do nothing about it in a foreseeable future

2. Tumblr culture?? — I can do something, but I have to ask you first

Before I created this blog, I was sharing my art on a different website. I mean, on a VERY DIFFERENT website. Where likes had meaning and reblogs were frowned upon.

But I see how people communicate here, sometimes treating the blog space like a group chat or something. It's very sweet but can I do the same? I think, I'm too insecure for it right now... and yet I really want to reciprocate and engage with the community in it's comfortable way.

So, I want to make some changes for the people interacting with me and that's why I ask them (you?):

1. Should I just become more open on this blog? I don't think I'll be reblogging and posting other stuff that frequently, but this account will definitely stop being just a gallery...

2. Should I make another blog for interactions and everything else? Since I'm not sure people will follow an account that only reblogs stuff, I'll be posting my art there as well to make sharing other's posts more meaningful. This one will still serve as a gallery, but for the art I'm particularly proud about?

3. Change nothing. Leave likes, do crime. Maybe I'm just overthinking everything, I don't know.

The poll isn't really important, I'd like to see the opinions of people I know are interested.

Thanks in advance!

just wanted to apologise for you probably getting spammed by my notifications q.q couldnt help myself, i heart what i like, and damn do i like your art (thats not a question), good day/night! :) (and sorry again heh..)

DO NOT apologise for this, I always appreciate being spammed with likes. It means a lot since I'm very self-conscious and has considered deleting at least half of what you can see on this blog at some point.

If you like something I post, never worry about it.

Good day/night! And thank you for making me feel worthy!

Greetings, I received your message in my email, but unfortunately I'm not sure why I can't see it (I don't fully understand how Tumbler works), here's a comparison of the Dram (left) and Cyrus (right)

They are almost the same height, but Cyrus is taller by just a few centimetres

I hope this has been useful, if there is anything else I may provide, let me know!

HOLY-

PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT thank you very much, it IS very useful and also VERY NICE of you to do! There's even such an informative side view 🙏 I got so excited it low-key cured my headache, honestly. So thank you again!

(For people who don't know the context:

Since Cyrus has a confirmed canonical height of 185cm I tried to figure out Dram's by placing them near each other in game. It didn't go well.

But maxandkon made it the better way!)

~183,5cm that is, people!
