This is my sideblog for The Elder Scrolls. My main blog is @unironicallycringe
Hi I'm Shea (they/he), I'm 30+, and I do a little of this and a little of that. I primarily write and draw original Dark Brotherhood content here, but will also reblog and share all TES content as I see it around.

Dear Brother is a story following a pre-HoK Silencer before and during the events of 3E433. It is simultaneously a deep dive into Brotherhood faith lore, a rewrite of the questline, and a story about gay pining.
This got longer, so more About Me is under the cut!
A Bit More Shea Background:
My main haunts are within Legend of Zelda spaces. My hiatus from my fanwork there has turned into a bit of a lengthy vacation as I spread focus to other creative ventures - helps me breathe a little, but I haven't abandoned any of my prior work. I'm always likely to disappear randomly because I am an adult with adult responsibilities and problems, such as taxes and healthcare or whatever, but my chosen drink of escapism is worldbuilding off of pre-existing fantasy worlds.
A lot of my work is comprised of revisited concepts from years ago. That old work was largely unposted because I avoided being active in fandoms and was deathly afraid of being Too Cringe. I am now older and wiser and embrace the cringe because life is too short to not play make-believe with your little dolls in the playground sandbox. Ultimately that is all we're doing. Try not to take yourself and discourse too seriously (spoken from experience). Vibe in the sandbox with your friends, curate your dash, etc.
I am a LARP enthusiast and once ran story design for a chapter I was part of. Being a director burned me out and I haven't LARPed in a while, especially due to additional health issues. When prompted I will ramble about LARP and amateur costume design. It's one of my favorite hobbies!
For the theme I picked the shadow. In my head cannon Lucien is born under the shadow as well as Elyonne.
Elyonne like Lucien does have stars in the shape of the constellation going across her body but you can't see them from this angle.
I wanted to incorporate the shrouded armour and black hand robes into these outfit so for the shrouded armour I used the purple that the female one has. Then I took the blood stained look the original black hand robes have for Lucien's outfit. I had to pop in some handprints of course. The gold crest is a gold version of the speaker symbol.
I tried to put Lucien's hood up but I hate drawing his hood and I kept failing so I gave up for my own sanity.
Undergoing a bit of an Elder Scrolls renaissance atm..... here's a really old character of mine who's gone through a few iterations over the five years I've had her: Irilara, an Indoril councilor from the Second Era. Don't let her prim and proper stature fool you; she's a notorious and volatile reactionary. Her faith in the Tribunal is unquestionably devout, but her political loyalties appear divided…
Is her birth sign really the Serpent? Who can say. Emissary Magreniah made a dramatic entrance in sunrise-themed ruffles, complete with a pet snake. She did not comment on whether or not the snake was hers.
I have got to be less picky about what I post here or I’ll never post.
WIP. I’ve been feeling stifled sticking too close to objectivity and “scenes”/ too rigid in color choices etc. Trying an entirely new approach and blending it with my usual
I might take this to finish, but I’ll probably start over from the color sketch since I like it more than the lined one
it's literally the evilest thing in the world to finally have time to write but then be tired. like wow you're telling me these two hours before going to bed are completely free but my brain is just Not Feeling It? fuck off
Today’s timelapse is his clothing, which was a lot of fun to paint.
Hoping to get the Breton sketched tomorrow and hopefully make a start on painting it over the weekend - I have an essay due though, so I’m not sure if I’ll have the time.
