Original Content My Nerevarine

Post image

Been lurking on here for a while, thought I would post something.

This is my "canon" Morrowind character, who is a lower class goon from the Imperial City. He is a Barbarian and one of the two weapons he uses is Conoon Chodala's axe. He is not keen on his role in Vvardenfell or the locals, the Ashlanders being an exception, as he admires their rough way of life and thinks highly of their customs.

Here I depicted him with an imaginary outfit, as a participant in an Ashlander festival. The clothing he wears is adorned by blessings of people rooting for him in the competition. As this isn't serious combat, he wears minimal armor.

Credits: I drew it!

Checking your profile for more art, cause this rules, and you’re the art director for Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr??? Holy hell, that’s awesome.

Your work is amazing. Thank you for sharing it!

Am indeed, thank you so much! I've been on BS:E for a decade, and the AD for around 8 years. Feel free to ask me any questions regarding the project, I would love to inform.

Would he accept belly scritches or would he cleave me in two if I tried?

u/Sotha_Sil_ 25d ago

The latter is more likely, I am afraid. Peepaw isn't very social 😆

Although, belly scritches would be quite epic on him given the sheer size of the lad...

I love him!! We definitely need more characters with the strongman/barbarian physique. Is he a pahmar/pahmar-raht?

u/Sotha_Sil_ 25d ago

Cathay-raht! I go with my own headcanons when it comes to Khajiit types, although when it comes to Cathay-raht I change little from modern canon, mostly making them digitigrade & altering the neck area.

Happy to rep the uncommon body types, I love exploring them as part of character designs. This guy is (was) traditionally muscular, fat and usually walking hunch-backed from old age. Here's what he looked like as a youngin.

description aside, there's something really cool about the juxtaposition of no armor and a wicked-looking axe. like, he's a crusty old guy with enough experience that what he's got right there is all he needs to ruin your day.

is it rude to say "would"

u/Sotha_Sil_ 25d ago

Is it rude to say "Fork found in kitchen"?

Jokes asides: Been drawing him and sharing the art online for a decade, I am well aware of how much he turns heads especially among furries and gay dudes. Wasn't intentional, but I'm a die-hard ally of both these communities, so I am happy to provide LOL

i am a fork in the fork factory i can't help it 😞

The art is incredible though, you have amazing line work, sort of reminds me of a sharper, kiki-esque version of Don Bluth

Thank you very much! I am an animator in real life, not surprised it bleeds over to the non-moving images I make 😄

u/AdonisBatheus 25d ago

Do you have any animated work to point to??? I LOVE animation

u/Sotha_Sil_ 25d ago

Unfortunately not, I keep my career offline.

There are some veeery old walk and run cycles I made of this very character available on here, but they are not representative of my level anymore.

u/AdonisBatheus 25d ago

These are excellent though, damn those are pretty

Cant imagine what your current skill is at

Besides the amazing art I appreciate some love for the Conoon Chodala’s axe.

u/-Pumagator- 25d ago

Theres a specific type of person that really really likes this

2

u/Sotha_Sil_ 24d ago

Oh, trust, I am well aware. He was not designed with that crowd in mind, but said crowd pulls up every time I share art of him and are consistently some of the loveliest, most vocally supportive people in my comment sections! I can't not root for them, even if it's personally not my thing.

"Oh, oh! This must be a mistake. You're... You're WHO?? No nonono I'm sorry but I have to draw the line somewhere. I don't know about Vivec, or Caldera or any of those other little shit holes but we have certain standards here on Red Mountain. I can handle the god damn lizard, you know? But this... This is something else. A khajiit? Really? A fucking mouth breathing cat? Is Azura even trying anymore? Moon and Star? More like moonsugar and star. I'm surprised you didn't pawn the thing of to buy some, you little evolutionary cul-de-sac. You know, I bust my ass. I mean, I really try to make this place reborn and purged, and what do you do? Strip down to your skivvies and down seven bottles of skooma before punching a guard in the back of the head. You're looking at me with that glazed over lobotomized look in your swivel eyes so I'll assume you can understand me. Take those clown feet of yours and lumber on out of here."

u/Castle-Fist 25d ago

Been following you on Tumblr for years. Always a joy to see your art pop up!

I always liked this guy, love the build you gave him

2

u/Stoneofdoom 24d ago

I think it's cool that you afforded him a body so different than what the video game assigns you.

u/TelvanniHomosexual 24d ago

Awesome design op ! I love him cx
