I had intended to draw a lot more for this event, but sadly life got in the way. I did stare at a lot of fashion shows for these designs though! A bit of lore as to what these outfits are for and why Sanguine's dressing up as a god under the cut :)
Izani's Voidmother dress
Notes:
I chose this theme for her due to her personal connection to the Dark Heart.
Knowing Izani, the embellishments on her dress are likely all small void crystals, serving as a repository for the heart's energy. That woman always comes prepared.
Sanguine's Auri-el outfit
Notes:
I was honestly surprised how well the white worked on Sanguine...
The basic idea for his shoulder thingy came from Madeline Schizas' Lion King free skate dress.
A bit of lore about the context of these outfits:
I am planning a fic that's honestly mostly crack treated seriously. For now, it's jokingly titled Sanguine's 11, and it involves him and ten other people breaking into Clavicus Vile's Fields of Regret to save (or steal, depending on your perspective) a snow elf that Sanguine more or less gave up to Vile, which he now has serious regrets over.
They decide the best way to go about this - as it also involves getting a bunch of people into Vile's realm that would usually not be there - would be to use a masquerade ball that Vile's hosting as a cover. Vile has intended it as sort of a networking event, of course, and since masks and opulent outfits can disguise a lot, his one rule regarding dress code is that it must be possible to recognize who's mortal and who's a Daedra. Therefore: all Daedra must wear divine-themed custumes and vice versa.
Sanguine, of course, immediately settles on Auri-el. It might be a bit on the nose, but he does want the snow elf to be able to recognize that something's up and help's on the way.
The other characters involved would have been a bunch of ESO and Oblivion characters, OCs and canon both. I had the outfits all planned out, but the one I'm really sad I didn't get to draw was Arox the Mutilator in an adorable, Daedrat-sized Alduin costume, complete with little wings.
partial collection of doodles of Ariadne and Vortigern, human paladin (and the prince’s right hand) and orc sorcerer king, the former of whom more-or-less runs away to marry the latter after he makes some. Very convincing arguments, that may or may not stem from him being gomez adams levels of passionately, madly horny for his Greatest Rival
