Karelle in her early drifter days in Falkreath. With winter on the way she really needs to invest in some better clothes.

When Zarrik became a Sith warrior, it was not without some coercion and temptation. He always had a dark streak running through him and the path of the Sith promised strength and respect he felt he deserved.

However, despite remaining rather disciplined and stoic, the dark side of the Force will always gnaw away at an individual. Such power always comes with a price.

"Summon Scamp". How hard can it be?

Some more art of Marisa practicing her spells. She's a fairly late bloomer in terms of figuring out her magic potential but living in a small humdrum village meant she hasn't had the opportunities to get the resources or tutoring needed. Fortunately her cousin Karelle turned up one day with a chest full of gold and her mage friend Avrin, which has given Marisa a chance to pursue her potential.

Karelle meeting her cousin Marisa for the first time.

When Karelle fled to Skyrim, Marisa had yet to be born. Over 2 decades later she returned south to find not only her brother, Draylen, has some young children but she has a new cousin too! Suddenly the Telandas family is bigger than she anticipated. Note that due to elven longevity, the apparent age gap of ~20 years is not really a big deal, and they become more like sisters.

Marisa has been around as a character since 2017 but she has been rather neglected in full art pieces, though I have a lot of sketchy work. Perhaps due to retcons I've never really defined this later part of the timeline as much. To be clear: whenever Marisa is shown with Karelle or Avrin, it is after the latter pair have finished with their lives in Skyrim and have moved back south to Cyrodiil.

This picture is one of those that looks good in a sketch but got locked down too much in lineart. Also, Marisa is not as shy or awkward as this might suggest - just caught off-guard by her cousin's enthusiasm. She is in fact a mixed intro/extrovert and unlike Avrin, will loudly proclaim her opinions, just with more of a filter than Karelle has.

Thank you again for this super piece!

Look, Zarrik, if a mysterious blue lady comes to visit I'd at least hear her out...

A test comic I made of Erris and Zarrik's first meeting. Zarrik was taken prisoner after trying to defend his homeworld from the Sith. Though not really in a heroic fashion as his unit was pretty damn brutal by the end. He's Force-sensitive but doesn't know it, however Erris has easily picked up on it while screening prisoners and began to visit him and sow the seeds that would cause him to join the Sith. Sadly I can't commit to a proper comic as I struggle with interior backgrounds that aren't basic and I don't have the time or will. But it was an interesting experiment to see what I could do.

Serynth taking advantage of Khadri to get a better view of things.

Having a big khajiit around is useful sometimes.😸

A portrait of Helanwen, Avrin's icy older sister. I've been working up to this after gradually refining her look. Beware her judging gaze >:)

I'm saving Hades II until it has a full release but I wanted to get some fan art in of Melinoe. Like the last game, the character design is A+++ and she's no exception. I mean, look at that cool arm!

Another trip to the beach but this time with Erris, and Zarrik (currently on ice cream duty).

Karelle and Avrin on a bridge. This is inspired by one of my Grandad's old watercolour paintings that I have hung up in my house. I thought it would be interesting and a nice tribute to try and remake it in my own style.

Almost all the pictures I drew for Art Fight this year. I got attacked a bit more than I expected so was more reactive and got distracted half way through with other things. But I think I drew some good stuff and got some great art in return.

Zuvii (Paperstar Arts), Celeste (zabobzionek)

Marina (beardoesdoodles), Cathril (lp573)

Alo'Vellan (Ultra_Violet), Velesandriel (stellastra)

Lord Lucian (Moriskilla), Merise (Astarfruity)

I love it when people roll up shirt sleeves like that.

It's the season for Beach Episode art again!😽

Here's some cathar R&R with Zadina, who has finally earned some time off from kicking the Sith Empire around. She does like a good trip to a beach, though it can take her a while to unwind. She's probably still thinking about the best firing positions and any potential threats that might sneak up on her.🦀

Zadina is my Star Wars Old Republic era OC and current Commander of Havoc Squad.

Ok I'm very late to the fandom of Hades but with the sequel being teased more and more, I picked up the original and am having a blast fighting through the Underworld and chatting with all sorts of people from greek mythology.
